j. S. FLAG AGAIN
USED BY BR|TOAS
CUNARD LINER FLIES STARS AND
STRIPES WHILE CROSSING
IRISH SEA.

New York, Feb. 10-Passengers on
the Cunard line British steamer Or
duna which arrived here today from
England said that the steamer flew
the American flag for nearly "a hours
on January 81 while passing through
the Irish sea. The stars and stripes,
they said, were hoisted on Sunday
about an hour after the Orduna left
Liverpool and were not hauled down
until early Monday morning.
The Orduna was scheduled to sail
from Liverpool on Saturday. January
80, but did not depart until 10:3O
o'clock the next morning. The pass
lay was that German submarine was
lowering in the vicinity. The American
flag was raised, they said. shortly af-
ter the Orduna cleared Mersey. The
steamship touched at Queenstown the
same day and was flying the stars and
stripes when she entered and left the
harbor, they said.
The explanation which the passen-
gers said they received from some of
the Ordunas under officers was that
the American flag had been raised to
protect the American citizens among
the 240 passengers.
Captain Thomas Taylor, commander
of the Orduna, refused to discuss the
matter, saying he was under orders
from the British admiralty not to talk.

Berlin. Feb. 1O.-German socialists,
while not desirous Of presenting any
partisan issues or Of taking any other
action during the present crisis which
might initiate against the harmonious
cooperation of all parties, have sur
rendered none of their views. This is
shown by the attitude Of the socialist
members of the Prussian diet, which
began a session yesterday. Herr
Hirsch. a socialist democrat. read on
behalf Of his party declaration which
is in part as follows:
"The social democratic party main
tains its opposition, based on principle,
to the former government policy,
which policy has remained in all ma
terial things unchanged. The party
however, refrains in this, critical time
from introducing discussions of a
polemic nature into the consideration
nf the budget on it's first reading.
