Responsible for Acts of Ma

of Stars and Stripes.

Washington, Feb. liberalization by the state depart
ment tonight of the text of the notes sent yesterday to Great
Britain and Germany respectively revealed that both countries
had been warned in most emphatic terms against rhenacing
vessels or lives of American citizens traversing the recently
proclaimed sea zones of war.
Germany was advised that the United States would be
constrained to hold the imperial government to a strict ac-
countabiity" for such acts of it's naval authorities as might
result in the destruction of American vessels or the loss of
American lives and that if "such a deplorable situation should
arise" the American government would take any steps it
property"
RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE OF FLAG.
To Great Britain, the United States pointed out "the
measure of responsibility" which would seem to be imposed on
the British government "fOr the loss of American vessels and
lives in case of an attack by a German naval force" if England
sanctioned the general misuse of the American flag by British
vessels and thereby cast doubt upon the valid character of neu.
trial ensgns.
The two communications were to have been presented to-
day respectively to the British government by Ambassador
Page and the German government by Ambassador Gerard.
They were prepared by Counsellor Lansing and revised by
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan after consultation with
the entire cabinet.
