CHANGE OF GERMAN
FLAG BRINGS KICK

AWSHINGTON, June 1.-Change in
the German merchant marine flag has
aroused storm of discomfort in Teu-
ton shipping circles according to a
report to the Commerce department to-
day from Vice-COunsul Maurice Walk
at Hamburg. Since the merchant ma
rine flag was changed on January 81,
he said, mass meetings have been held
Genouncing the government action,
marine journals have been protesting
and Germans in foreign lands have
been writing to the newspapers at
home on the subject.
The old flag he explained was
black, white and red in three hOri-
zontal bars while the new flag is the
same except that in the upper left
hand corner a small square of three
bars, black, red and yellow, is in
serted.
The change is resented" he said
because it signifies to the people here
the final surrender of the old German
sea aspirations II breaks with a ira
dition which in the generation before
the war, had brought German ships tt
all parts of the world and make then
a serious challenge to British sea su
premacy. The present clamor is the
more interesting because it indicates
how little Germany has renounced the
old ambitions which led to so catastro
phic climax"
