AMERICAN NOTE OK USE OF
FLAG Of FRXBNELt TONE.
TALKS ABOUT LU3I1ANIA
Sags Belligerent Must Establish
Identify of Shliw Under Neutral
Flags Before Taking Action—Re
fers to Use of British Flag by
American Ships in Civil War.
The British foreign office Friday
night issued a note in reply to the
representations of the United States
government concerning the uso of the
American flag by British vessels.
The. following is the text of the re
ply of Great Britain to the American
note as handed to Walter Hines Page,
the American mbassador:
"The memorandum communicated
on the 11th of February calls atten
tion in courteous aud friendly leftne
to the action of the captain of the
British steamship Lusitania in raising
the flag of the United States of Amer
ica when approaching British waters,
and says that the government of the
United States feel certain anxiety in
considering the possibility of any gen
eral use of the flag of the United
States by British vessels traversing
those waters, sinqo the effect of such
a policy might be to bring about a
menace to the lives and vessels of
United States citizens.
"It was understood that the Ger
man government announced their in
tention of sinking British merchant
vessels at tight by torpedoes without
giving any opportunity of making any
proviaion for the saving of lives of
non-combatant crews and passengera
It was in consequence of this threat
that the Lusitania raised the United
States flag on her Inward voyage.
"On her subsequent outward voy
age a request was made by United
States passengers who were embark
ing on her that the United States flag
should be hoisted, presumably to in
sure their safety. Meanwhile the
memorandum from your Excellency
had been received. His Majesty's
government did not give any advice
to the company as to how to meet
this request, and it is understood that
the Lusitania left Liverpool under the
British flag.
'*It seems unnecessary to sa* more
as regards the Lusitania in particu
lar.
"In regard to the use of foreign
flags by merchant vessels, the British
Merchant Shipping act makes it clear
that the use of the British flag by
merchant vessels is permitted in time
of war for the purpose of escaping
capture. It is believed that in the
case of some other nations there is
similar recognition of the same prac
tice with regard to their flag, and
that none has forbidden it.
"It would, tberofora, be unreason
able to expect his Majestyft govern
ment to pass legislation forbidding
the use of foreign flags by British
merchant vessels to avoid capture by
the enemy, now that the German gov
ernment have announced their Inten
tion to sink merchant vessels at sight
with their non-combatant crewa, car
goes and papers, a proceeding hither
to regarded by the op nlon of the
world nAt as war, but piracy.
"It Is felt that the United State?
government could not fairly ask the
British government to order British
merchant vecscls to forego a moans
always hitherto permitted of escap
ing not only capture, but the much
worse late of sinking and destruction
"Great Britain always, when a neu
tral, has accorded to vessels of other
states at war the liberty to use the
British flag as a means of protection
from capture, and instances are on
record when United States vessels
availed themselves of this facility
during the American civil war.
"It would be contrary to fair ex
pectation if now, when conditions are
reversed, the United States and neu
tral nations were to grudge to Brit
ish ships the liberty to take similar
action.
“THe British government has m
Intention of advising their merchant
shipping to use foreign flags as a gen
eral practice or to resort to them
otherwise than for escaping capture
or destruction. The obligation upon

ANOTHER AMERICAN STEAMER
GOES DOWN ON A MINE.
Berlin Reports Second Disaster to U.
a Ship—Bays Captain Did Not Fol
low Safety Course.
'
Berlin report* Tuesday: The
American steamer Carlb has gone to
the bottom off the German coast in
the North Sea as a result of striking
a mine. At the time of the disaster
the Carib was not using the route
laid down in the German marine in
structions.
The German admiralty has com
municated a memorandum to Com
mander Walter R. Gherardi, the
American naval attache, pointing out
that the des*ruction of the American
steamers Evelyn and Carib was due
to their not following the course pre
scribed by the German admiralty to a
point northwest of Helgoland.
The memorandum reiterates the
asturance of the German government
as to the safety of the prescribed
course.
Savannah reports Mr. Armstrong)
president of the company which owns
the Carib, as saying that the Carib's
cargo was insured by the government
war risk bureau, and that the ship
itself was insured partly by the war
risk bureau and partly by outside
companies^
Mr. Armstrong said that the Carib
had a German pilot aboard, who was
taken on at the Hook of Holland,
and he further said the sh'-p, accord
ing to his advices, was following the
customary course through the North
Sea.
The Carib was a regular member
of the Clyde Steumsh.p company’s
Boston-Charleston freight service for
a nemler of years, and until a fev;
months ago was a regular visiiur to
Charlet ton this run. Shortly before
her sai ing for Europe with cotton
she was sold by the Clyde Line' to
Walker. Armstrong & Co., of Savan
nah, who are locally represented by
the Carolina Company.
With a '•nrgo said to consist of
4,600 bales of cotton the Carib, with
Capt. Edgar C. Cole in command,
steamed from Charleston on January
27 for Bremen. The vessel was load
ed at the compress of W. Gordon Mc
Cabe g- Co. by the Carolina Company
The number of officers and men on
the Carib was estimated at between
thirty and thirty-five. A copy of the
ship’s papers was not available after
the renort of her sinking was receiv
ed. itli the exception of the ship's
master the names of but two other
officers on board could b^ ascertain
ed, and they were Chief Engineer
Cune and Chief Officer Gifford.
Capt. Cole was the junior captain
on the Clyde Line. He ha#d>ein in
active service as a captain for more
than fourteen years, and ia said to
have had wide experience and to
have been a thoroughly capable skip
per. H? is a native of Maaaachuretu.
A report was broucht some days
ago that the Carib had discharged
her cotton cargo at Bremen, and that
she was returning to America with a
cargo of dye stuffs, but the report
could not be substaiDiated.
Capt. Smith, of Rie Evelyn, has
been asked for a report as to the
locality of the disaster. This report
Is expected to show whether the
Evelyn wandered within the defen
sive German mine fields or whether
she struck mines laid by a belliger
ent power other than Germany.
CHANNEL 18 CLOSED.
British Admiralty Closes Certain For-
1 / .
tlons of English Channel.
The British admiralty announces
that the Irish Channel and the North
Channel waters lying between Eng
land and Scotland and Ireland, have
been restricted for navigation from
Tuesday.-
“The southern entrance to the Irish
Channel, known as St. George's Chan
nel, is between Carnsore Point and
the Irish coast and St. David’s Head,
Wales. Certain areas of this channel
also have been closed to mercantide
navigation by-the admiralty’s orders,
which require that all traffic wishing
to proceed througlf the North Chan
nel must pass south of Rathlin Is
land between sunrise and sunset.
“No ship will be allowed within
four miles of Rathlin Island between
sunset and sunrise.”
SAFE BLOWN AT PIEDMONT.
Yeggmen Secure Only a Small
Amount of Cash.
Some time during Tuesday night
the iron safe in the freight and pas
senger depot of the Piedmont and
Northern (the interurban), at the
town of Piedmont, was blown open,
the burglar using gun cotton. The
office was practically wrecked by the
explosion, the ceiling being torn
down and the window panes shatter
ed.
Agent George left only ten dollars
in the safe, having removed a large
amount of cash on Saturday night to
a vault on t£e opposite side of the
offleb from (he safe. The safe crack
er took the ten dollars. Officers are
working on the case, but as yet have
found no cities.
a belligerent warship to ascertain
definitely for itself the nationality
and character of a merchant vessel
before capturiag it and fortiori before
sinking and destroying it has been
universally recognized.
"If that obligation is fulfilled the
hoisting of a neutral flag on board a
British vessel can not possibly en
danger neutral shipping, and the
British government holds that If loss
to neutrala la caused by disregard of
Ibis obligation It la upon the enemy
vessel disregarding It and npon the
government giving the orders that it
shonld be -disregarded that the re
sponsibility for lajory to neutrals
ought to rest.” '

Proposals have been made Infor

sible failure of tho captain to heed
the German admiralty’s instructions
respecting the location of mine fields.
Officials believed tho Carib disaster
was of a similar nature, though they
had no official advices
Proposals made to the belligerents,
it is known, are of far-reaching im
portance They were emboldied in
confldenMarmemorandum which both
Ambassadors Page aud Gerard were
instructed to take up informally with
the respective foreign offices at Lon
don and Berlin. The new communi
cations are not replies to the notes of
Germany and Great Britain, though
they relatp to the same subject. They
constitute what is described in diplo
macy as "inforrial Inquiiies” and fre
quently, if accepted, become formal.
The belief most commonly held
w-as that the United States had pro
posed some form of supervision over
the distribution of foodstuffs to the
civilian population of Germany, eith
er by American consul agents or
American organization. Germany has
offered to abandon her submarine
warfare if assured that rhips laden
with foodstuffs for Germany will not
be interrupted.
President Wilson discussed with
the cabinet the situation produced by
the decl.-ration of the war zone and
it was avid the replies from England
and Germany to the informal repre
sentations would have a considerable
bearing on the final course of the
American government.
Earlier In the day the president
indicated that he had not decided
whether the notes received from Ger
many and Great Britain on the sea
war zones and the use of neutral
flags required rejoinders.
Officials spoko guardedly but with
no concealment of their apprehen
sions oyer the situation which might
develop if American lives were lost
as a result of a submarine attack.
The Carib was the scconl ship in
sured by the government war risk in
surance bureau There was 1235.000
on her cargo and $22,253 on her hull
With a loss on the Evelyn, the bu
reau probably will have to pay a total
of $659,000, which about equals the
sum collected to date in premiums.
•Undoubtedly both cases will be the
subject of civil suits for damages by
the bureau.
Berlin reports: James W. Gerard,
American ambassador to Germany,
lias presented to the foreign office the
American note embodying the Ameri
can proposals for sett'ement of the
situation arising from the British
embargo on foodstuffs into Germany
and the German warfare against Brit;
ish mercantile shipping.
It is understood proposals were
submitted simultaneously in London.
No statement regarding the nature
of these proposals or the German at
titude toward them can be obtained,
but it is believed there is at least a
prospect of their acceptance by Ger
many.
