British Ship Sails Irish Sea
With Stars and Stripes
Floating.
INCIDENT RELATED
BY PASSENGERS
Liner orduna Arrives in New York
From Liverpool-United States Flag
Used For Twenty -Four Hours Until
Danger Zone Was Passed = Steam
ship Agent Denies Charge, Passen-
gers Stick to Story.

New York, Feb. 1O-Passengers or
the Cunard line British steamer Or
duna, which arrived here today from
England, said that the steamer flew
the American flag for nearly twenty
four hours on Jan 81, while passing
thru the Irish sea. The stars and
stripes were hoisted on Sunday after
the vessel left Liverpool and mot
hauled down until early Monday morn
ing.
Delayed Departure.
The Drduna was to sail from Liver
pool Saturday, Jan. 80, but did not de-
part until 1O:30 the next morning. Pas
sengers heard that the delay was caused
by the proximity Of German subma-
rine. The American flag was raised
soon after sailing.
The explanation which the Orduna's
under officers gave was that the fiae
had been raised for the purpose of pro-
tecting the American citizens among
the 240 passengers.
II. T. Strong, Of this city, and James
Ford, of Lynn, Mass, were two of the
passengers who said they would voucf
over their names that the American
said that it was not until she ha6
cleared the Irish seas that 1t wa.
hauled down.
Captain Taylor refused to discuss the
matter, saying he was under orders moi
to talk.
Agent Makes Denial.
Charles p. Sumner, general agent Of
the line in this city, denied today tha
the Orduna had flown the American
flag, except at her foremost. which HI
explained is customary on all ships t.
indicate the country to which they arr
bound. Both Ford and Strong. as well
as other passengers, insisted, however
that the flag was flying aft, indicating
the nationality Of the vessel.
"At no time was the American fia<
raised at the stern" said Mr.. Sumner
"The American flag was raised to the
foremost head upon leaving Liverpool
to indicate that the aOrduna was sailing
for an American port with American
passengers and American mail. The
American flag remained at the foremost
head all the way across the ocean"

Views AItho Not Actively Opposing.
Berlin, via London, Feb. 10.-German
socialists while not desirous Of pre-
senttng any partisan issues or taking
any action which might initiate
against the harmonious cooperation
Of all parties, have surrendered none
Of their views. This IS shown by the
socialist member of the Prussion diet
which began session yesterday.
Herr Hirsch, read on behalf Of his
party declaration which is in part
as follows: es ..-.-..svs. 3.
The social democratic party main
tains its opposition based IN principle
to the former government policy, which
policy has remained in all material
things unchanged. The party, how
ever refrains at this time from inter-
fusing discussions of a polemic nature
into the consideration of the budget
at its first reading"
Air Complaints Later.
Herr Hirsch added that his marty
later would call attention to com
plants concerning provisions for SOL
diers and for dependents, and the food
supply for the nation and restrictions
on the free expression of thought. He

he continued. without giving express
sion to the demand Of his party, that
the government in consequence of the
situation brought about by the war
should concede certain measures de-
manded by the masses of the people.
This included the demand that the po-
lice cease their battle against social
organizations and labor in general
Herr Hirsch said his party was op-
posed to political oppression but that
the basis of all political reforms must
be their equal. application to all
minorities as in the case of the Danes
and Poles.
Masses Opposed to War.
His party had hoped. Herr Hirsch
continued that the government would
fulfill its duty by granting uniform
suffrage with the secret direct ballot
at the session Of Oct 20, last. He men
toned the desire Of the social demo-
Gratis for an honorable peace and con-
cluded:
1--WE know that this war is desired
by the people in none Of the belliger-
ent lands; that it's end everywhere is
longed for by the people. We cherish
the confidence that the voices de-
manding peace will grow more numer-
GUS, will make themselves heard in
influential quarters and that under the
influence of this desire for peace, an
assured peace may come speedily, to
the well-being of the German people
and of all humanity"
Herr Won Heydebrand replied tc
Herr Hirsch on behalf Of the nom
socialist parties. He declared that the
present moment was not a suitable one
for advancing special wishes or com
plants. The situation was one which
demanded that the entire Prussiar
people stand united, as It's soldiers on
the battlefield were united.
Herr Liebknecht interjected:
"You have no right to speak in the
name Of the German people,"
This remark brought cries Of protest
Herr Heydebrand continued his reply
He made an exhortation to the dele
gates to act together and make any
sacrifices necessary for victory.
