GOVERNMENT MAKES FRIENDLY OBSERVATIONS I ON USE OF FLAG I ALSO ADDRESSES ONE T*? (GERMANY Ask? What Step? Witt Be Taken by. Commanders to Verify Identity of Ships. <T)y Associated I* rr ss.) WASHINGTON. Fob.. 10.-The UMt ? ed States government today ?ent a nofo to Great Britain making friendly observations; on tho usc * y British I ships of neutral flagB and at the same tune dispatched a communication to Germany, inquiring' what steps would bc taken by.-German naval command? ers to verify the identity of ships fly-, lng neutral fiag3 in the recently pro-! claimed zones of war around England and Ireland. While thc Lusitania incident ls not -uentionpu. the representations ? to ! Great Britain are based on the state- j I ment of the British foreign office justifying thc usc of neutral flags by her merchantmen to escape, capture. The American government points out that frequent and continued use of : this stratagem might cast doubt on the character of vessels really op tltled to fly .tho American Qa*, Md' prod ur^ ?siuget i ships ought not bc subjected high seas and io unblockaded gaters. In the note to Gernu.ny it i ? under stood the tlntted States asked how the German' admiralty proposed to carry out in practice its recent tproclsros tlon of a war on merchant ship3 and its warning that on account of the misuse of the neutral flags by belli gerent vessels, neutra! ships could not always be distinguished. The United. States had made it clear,'lt is un dortood, that an a'.iacK on a vasse! flying thc American flag without first i ascertaining definitely that such use] was fictitious would bring about ser ious' complications. The United States has not fully ex pressed Itself on the Gorman pro pitiation, however, confining itself; for thc present to an inqury for in formation. The communication mere-1 ly seeks' tp learn more definitely what hazards an American ship might be confronted with lt passing through tho newly prescribed sea -senna, and what steps'will be taken by thc Ger man navy tu give unrestricted passage to American vessels traveling through these waters. '.Roth notes are brief and friendly. Neither makes a protest, but each points out how recent development? ? may seriously embarrass neutral ships. Secretary Bryan declined to discuss either communication. President Wilson has -pointed out,] there is no Litcrnatior.nl law against I thc u.?"? jr a neutral flag by a belli gerent vessel and thc ruse often is j resorted to in time of war. Neverthe less-lt was regarded as proper in tho] circumstances to make representa tions on the dangers to neutrals which might ensue from flag changas during j a voyage of a belligerent ship.
