GREY APPROVES OLD
U. S. PEACE PLAN
Says Responsible Hague
Signatories Might Have
AVerted War.

London, Feb. s.-Earl Grey, presid
ing at meeting held to-day to advo-
cate an agreement among the nations
for the enforcement of international
law, said that the war probably would
never have taken place had the policy
of American pacificists that the sigma
tory nations to the Hague conventions
should undertake collective responsible
ity for their enforcement been adopted.
at is almost certain" said Earl Grey,
"that this logical and necessary COM
plement of the Hague tribunal will be
adopted when the nations again meet
in consultation. The neutral powers
who signed the Hague conventions
missed q great opportunity by not pro-
testin. against the violations OF the
international regulations that occurred
this wear, which undoubtedly would
have led TO q diminution OF its hor-
Tors."
A resolution was adopted declaring
il 10 be imperative that a peace be
established which shall secure collective
responsibility by all civilized nations
for the maintenance and enforcement
of international law.

DOUBTS LUSITANIA
FLEW FLAG AS OWN
Cunard Official Believes Dow
Ran Up U. S. Ensign to Show
American Mail Aboard.

AltASugh two days had elapsed since
the Lus'tsnia entered Liverpool harbor
flying the American flag, local represent
atives Of the Cunard Line have re-
ceived no word from the home Office
regarding the incident.
A representative of the company said
Yesterday that he would be perfectly
willing TO concede that the American
flag was raised II the report agreed
with his judgment, but the statement,
while apparently confirmed by press
cables, did not seem reasonable TO him.
81 don't believe" he said, that Cap
tain Dow few the American ensign
from the stern of the Lusitania. He
would not do il without reason, and
there was nothing in the whole pro-
cedure that would warrant his raising
the flag from the taffrail.
The Lusitania had "A big consign-
ment of American mail, and 1t might
be that the master few the American
mail remnant from the foremost or the
mainmast. Also he might have flown
with il an American flag 10 indicate
4ore strongly that American mail was
on board. but this could in no way be
taken that he had flown the American
flag as his national ensign"
II Was said at the Cunard Office that
the Lusitaria's schedule had not been
changed and that she would probably
leave Liverpool on Saturday.
Adyices received from Rotterdam
az the local office OF the Hol-
Iand. America Line announced that that
service TO New York ano
other pows in the United States would
be maint,ined regardless OF the Ger
man war zone proclamation.

Germany Will Sink Only

Berlin (via The Hague, Feb. s.
The naval measures OF Germany
against British commerce are in no
sense a blockade, and no hostile &C
ton against neutral shipping is con
templated, according 70 the interpre-
tGtion placed upon the German procla-
ration in competent circles in Berlin.
German submarines and warships will
endeayor by every means in their
power 10 avoid sinking American or
ether neutral ships and will take
every precaution 20 avoid a mistake.
The proclamation OF the waters

like similar British measures which
we're taken as precedent. il was
stated to-day. is designed 20 warn neu-
;ials that a ship venturing into the
naval field of operations exposes itself,
IN the same fashion as a civilian wan
doring on a land battlefield, 10 the risk
Of being struck by chance shot.
IL is asserted that the Germans have
10 intention of sinking an American
ship unless she is carrying contraband
Of war, and then only IL her crew can
escape. il was added. however. that
war measures will be carried out
against British trade with all possible
severity, in order ito give England a
taste OF her own medicine"
The warning TO neutral shipping, ~
was asserted, was regarded as particu-
larly needed. in view Of the reported
order 20 British ships 20 hoist a neu-
trail flag whenever they were in dan
ger, an order which. II adhered 20. II

GERMAN NOTE STIRS
AN ITALIAN ORGAN
la Tribunal Says Neu-
trail Countries Will
Never Submit.

Rome, Feb. S.-"La Tribuna.' a gov
eminent organ, dealing editorially with
Germany's sea war zone proclamation
declares that neutral countries will
never submit to such "intolerable ar
bitrariness," and will insist that bel
ligerents maintain the custom OF
boarding and examining ships before
sinking them. The newspaper adds
that Germany will be held responsible
Tor the sinking of any vessels without
this formality.
Italian politicians, who, being in
favor Of Italy's intervention on the
side of the Triple Entente against the
.wo central European empires, might
naturally be expected to regard that
Intervention as probable, on the con-
trary, express the opinion, which has
been growing as time has gone on.

dent, Italy will keep out of the war.
Her neutral attitude would be still

Der Of Garibaldians fought heroically
for the Allies. Italy will certainly not
join Germany and Austria, but, unless
some incident occurs to cause war she
seems daily less likely to attack them,
especially as she cannot have war in a
water tight compartment against Aus
tria alone.
One reason for the increased feeling
for neutrality in the country districts
is the successful effort of the Germans
to influence the small, but, in the ag-
gregate, influential country newspapers.
While all their attempts to convert the
great national newspapers failed, as
was only to have been expected from
the character of the journals in ques-
tion and their patriotic independence.
