PERMISSIBLE STRATEGEM.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Asserting that
the Lusitania adopted "a permissible
strategem" in hoisting the American
flag to avoid danger in the final stage
of her dash for liverpool, the Man
chester Guardian declares IAN act
may be perfectly lawful without be
ing eXpedient or altogether fair" The
paper says:
''Thc fact hat our fastest liner had
to change her flag has shocked our
pride as much as the loss of the ship
would have shocked our humility
If all or many of our merchant liners
were to do the same the result would
be, as American papers are pointing
out, to diminish the value of protec-
ton given by the American flag Not
only would that the undignified in us
and unworthy the nation which rules
the seas, but it also would be unfair
to the United States and it would re
fleet on us the same indignation as
was aroused by Germany's threat to
disregard neutral flags"

OLD STRUCTURES IN
CITY MUST Be
TORN DOWN
SUCH A RESOLUTION TO BE IN
TRODUCED AT MEETING OF
CITY COUNCIL TO BE HELD
THIS AFTERNOON.

AT the meeting of city council 20
be held this afternoon resolution
will be introduced. and no doubt will
be passed. which will mean that a
dozen or more old half-dilapidated,
hall burned structures in the city
must be torn down. In some in
stances the resolution will call for
the complete destruction of these old
structures. while in other cases the
owners will be given the prerogative
of making the necessary repairs and
putting the buildings in first-class
condition or tearing them down.
All of these structures, which are
scattered in various sections of the
city, will be named by the resolution
and the step on the part of the city
will no doubt meet with the general
favor of the people, especially those
who are making an effort to beautify
Brunswick
Included in the resolution are two
or three old negro shacks just in the
rear of the city hall, which have stood
as eyesores for many years; two OF
three other old houses on Mansfield
street. between Ellis and Egmont
which have not been in use for years
and which are now halftorn down
the old building on the Bay street LOT
at the foot of George street. partially
destroyed by fire some time ago. is in
cluded, as are two or three other old
Bay street structures, which are in q
dilapidated condition.
Some Of these buildings, in fact tho
majority of them, have been standing
unoccupied or unused for many years
and are a disgrace to the community
in which they are located.

SKATING QUESTION
TO CONE UP FOR
ACTION AGAIN
CIVIC LEAGUE TO TAKE MATTER
UP TODAY AND MAY ASK FOR
REPEAL OF ORDINANCE NOW
IN EXISTENCE.

The skating question is to come up
again and. Judging from all reports,
Tie children are about to win ou.
Ever since council passed an ordi-
nance Il few years ago prohibiting
skating on the streets of the city
there has been Il general discussion
of the matter and many protests have
been made. Some OF the children.
however, have disregarded the ordi-
nance, and, while no arrests have
been made, they were notified not to
further violate the ordinance As Il
result the agitation has been revived
and council may be asked to repeal
the ordinance.
The Civic league will take up the
matter at meeting to be held this
%liernoon, and the may decide 'u
send a communication to council ask
ing for a repeal of the ordinance.
One or two things, ii seems, will be
done: The ordinance will either be
repealed or skating grounds will be
provided for the children in both Han
over and Orange parks. Mayor Hop.
kins, it is understood, mas stated that,
in the event the league this afternoon
decides that they would rather have
theSe skating grounds than 10 have
the ordinance repealed. that he will
ask council for authority to erect in
each OF the city parks skating
grounds where the children can gath
er III the afternoon and skate to theil
hearts content
All children OF the city, as well as
many parents, are interested in the
subject, and the final result of the
agitation will be watched with inter
est.

misdemeanOr, the maximum penalty
for which is II months on the chain
gang or a $1,000 fine or both in the

Dangers to Neutral Shipping, II
Practice Continues, Will
Be Pointed Out
IN NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN
President Wilson Is Awaiting
Cermany's Message as TO the
War Zone Around the British
Isles.

WASIIINGTON, Feb. 9.-The ad-
the American flag on the British
steamer Lusitania as stated today on
the high sea is that the use of other
flags by ships of nations at war is
such Il customary practice that no for
NAL protest can be made, but that it
will be proper to send to Great Britain
II note pointing out the dangers to
neutral shipping which may follow y
such practice is continued.
Regarding establishment of a war
zone by Germany around the British
Isles, President Wilson said he was
awaiting Germany's memorandum, on
the way here, before reaching decis-
ion. He said the first German proc
lamaton on the subject contained
many questions on which the United
States would like further explanation.
The president takes the view that
the war zone proclaimed by Germany
does not constitute blockade or
even paper blockade. fIe stated
that it simply was II warning,
The president himself said action
| by congress could not control use of
the American flag by American ships.
| and that such restrictions would have
to come through international agree
ment, He added that use of the
flags in that way had been resorted
to frequently in the past II was in
dicated that the administration is
deeply studying the war zone question
with a view to determining its effect
on American shipping. High officials
apparently attached much importance
to that and the husitania situation.
1t was made clear that every effort
would be made to protect American
rights.
President Wilson told callers that
no other neutral governments have
officially asked the cooperation Of
the United States in connection with
the German war zone order.
Discussing the general interna-
tional situation the president said he
was not surprised at the length of
time taken by Great Britain in making
a final reply to the American protest
against interference with neutral ship
