THE FRENCH
ON THE NOTE

Paris, Feb 19.-(5.55 P. M).-An the
evening papers devote considerable space
TO the German reply to the American
note concerning neutral shipping in the
war sea zone created by the German
proclamation. The semi-official Temps in
& leading article says that Germany is
making a supreme effort to avoid the
consequence of an inevitable food short
age. and that whatever the attendant
circumstances and judicial appearances
by which Germany surrounds its preten-
tons, the United States can only refuse
TO bow before methods OF war menacing
to the neutral countries. The United
States. continues the Temps, certainly
will not lend itself TO the plans of the
Germans. who want TO use them against
England and her allies III order TO pro-
long the contest for universal DONNA
ton.
The conservative Republican Journal
des Debats concludes that the German
reply is simply refusal to comply with
the protests of the Washington cabinet.

Sailed Under British Flag

1t adds that in spite of the fact
that American passengers embarkins
on the Lusitania on her outward voy-
age of New York asked that the
American flag be hoisted. The Brit
ISL government did not give any ad-
vice TO the company as how 10 meet
this request and it is understood the
Lusitania left Liverpool under the
British flag
After discussing the Lusitania Incl
dent, the memorandum makes this
statement:
The British government have no
intention Of advising their merchant
shipping to use foreign flags as gen
eral practice or TO resort TO them
otherwise than for escaping capture o.
detruction"
In conclusion the statement says:
The obligation upon a belligerenr
warship to ascertain definitely for it
self the nationality and character Of a
merchant vessel before capturing i;
and a fortiori stronger reason) before
sinking and destroying it. has been
universally recognized If that obi
cation is fulfilled, the hoisting of a
neutral flag on board a British vessel
cannot possibly endanger neutral ship
ping and the British government holds
that if loss 10 neutrals is caused by
disregarding this obligation ii is upon
the enemy vessel disregarding. and
upon the government giving orders
that il should be disregarded, that the
full responsibility for injury to neu-
trails ought to rest
