 IL is understood no protest or what might be construed as a complaint against any violation of international law is 10 be directed to either couu- try The administration view of the hoisting of the American flag on the lusitania is that it is customlrY ruse Of war, but at the same time rep rese1tations were deemed advisable to point out how easily neutral com merce might suffer through continued practice of the strategem.
 As for the German admiralty's prCc- lamaton that it may be difficult 10 determine the character of a vessel found in the war zones. especially be cause Of the misuse of neutral fIaes. the United States government intends to ask for more information as to the methods hy which the order will be carried ont iH practice. and is prepar- | ing 10 point out that it expects every l effort to be made to verify the nature | of ships flying neutral flags and as. suance that due respect for the safety of Americans will be given With the question Of declaring cer- taia waters in the zones of war on the l belligerent merchant ships the Ameri- | can government is not concerned.
 Neither communication will go tor ward, il is understood until complete information is available which may cause a delay of several days. As yet the long memorandum of the German foreign office sent by wireless to the American press has not reached the state department from Ambas sador Gerard Nor has Ambassador Page at London transmitted any official re- port as the reasons for the hoistine of the American flag on the Lus- tania
 In the absence of any official statement from Great Britain to the United States on the case of the Lusitauia. any inquiry which may be made by this government on the sub- iect of the use of neutral flags by British vessels probably will be based on the foreign office statement and confined to the general question ratIer than any specific ease

Jackson, Miss, Minister Tells How He Suffered After the Grippe and How He Was Re- stored to Health by Vinol.

Jackson, Miss. -"I am a minister of the gospel and had the grippe so badly that ached all over. flesh was sore, l had pains in my chest and back, no appetite, was nervous and had a stub born cough.
 ''I tried different medicines without benefit; finally friend recommended Vinol 1 tried it and soon noticed an improvement and continuing its use am entirely relieved of my troubles. 1 have also used Vinol in my family for chronic coughs and cold with the best results. - o. w. CHILEs, Jackson, Miss.
 Grippe leaves the blood in a thin devitalized condition. 1t takes away the appetite and leaves one weak, with out energy and often in a dangerous condition.
 Tn order to restore the blood to a healthy condition, iron must be supplied in an easily assimilated form. We guarantee this may be done by Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, which contains no oil If you try it and 1t does not help you we will return your money.
