Washington, Feb. 13.-Reading OF
the official texts of the two notes from
the United States to Germany and
Great Britain developed an intense In
terest among officials and diplomats
In the question Of what would be the
nature of the replies from the two
belligerent governments.
That Great Britain would give as.
surances of no intention to sanction
the general use of neutral flags by
British merchant ships was the belief
of many officials But the widest sort
of speculation, based on variety OF
conceptions OF Germany's plans in
waging submarine war on merchant
ships, was heard ms to the probable re-
sponse of the Berlin foreign office.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, declined to discuss the
note TO Germany Friday. as he had
received no advices from Berlin con-
cerning it. and the British embassy
also was silent.
What excited most attention in Con.
gress and among diplomats. however.
was the serious tone of the notes. even
though qualified by the polite terms
of diplomatic usage.
The determination OF the United
States government to have the Ameri-
can flag used only by ships entitled to
fly IL. and the warning of Germany
that II would be held 'to n strict ac-
countability" II American lives or ves-
sells were lost In the attacks on mer-
chant vessels In the newly delimited
sea zones Of war. were practically the
sole topics OF discussion In executive
and congressional quarters. rs well as
among the ambassadors and ministers
of belligerent and neutral nations.
While there were no authorized ex-
pressions. 1t was evident that the nen.
tral diplomats In general gave both
notes their approval. because of the
identity OF interest OF their govern
ments and the United States In the
circumstances.
The opposition OF n powerful neutral
government 10 the practices suggested
by the Lusitania Incident or the
threatened attacks on merchant ves-
sells was considered as likely to have
most beneficial effect.
There were suggestions that the
argument of the American government
would be followed In Joint protest to
both Germany and Great Britain by
the three Scandinavian countries. MS
