United States Will Not Re
ply to Notes Pending
Developments.
WILSON STANDS FIRM
VIII Insist on All Demands
Made in Protests to En-
gland and Germany.

NTASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - The
w United States probably will
make no reply, for the present at least,
to either the British or German notes,
regarding, respectively, the use of the
American flag on foreign vessels and
the dangers to neutral shipping in the
naval war zone about the British isles,
but will stand firmly on its warning
against destruction of American lives
or vessels.
Many officials who know the situa-
tion expect some further move only in
event OF an overt act.
This was Indicated i'm high official
quarters today after the official texts
of the communications had been read.
The documents will be further exam
ined, however, to determine whether
there is anything In either note which,
If not answered now, might be con-
strued later as an admission.
In the case of the note to Great
Britain objecting to any general use
Of the American flag by British ves-
sells, the communication from Eng
land was not regarded as altering the
original warning of the United States
against the measure Of responsibility
which would seem to be imposed on
England If any American vessels or
lives were lost as a result of such
general practice, although the denial
of any intention to make frequent use
OF the neutral ensign was reassuring
to officials.

it was pointed out, has stated in en-
phatic language that Germany would
