Information Desired From Berlin as
lo Method's for Verifying Na
ture or Vessels That May
Fly Ventral Flngs.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. Drafts of
notes to Great Britain and Germany,
one relative to the use of the American
flag by the British liner Lusitania. and
the other concerning the attude of the
German navy toward neutral vessels
in the newly prescribed sea zones of
war, received the personal considera
tion of President Wilson, after confer
ences with Secretary Bryan and mem
bers cf the Cabinet.
It is understood that no protest or
what might be construed as a com
plaint against any violation of interna
tion law is to be directed to either
country. The Administration view of
the hoisting of the American flag on
the Lusitania is that it is a customary
ruse of war. but at the same time rep
resentations were deemed advisable to
point out how easily neutral commerce
might suffer through continued prac
tice of the stratagem.
Germany Axked for Detnllx.
As for the German admiralty's proc
lamation that it may be difficult to
determine the character of the vessel
found in the war zones, especially be
cause of the misuse of neutral flags,
the United States Government Intends
to ask for more information as to the
methods by which the order will be
carried out in practice and Is preparing
to point out that it expects every ef
fort to be made to verify the nature
of the ships flying neutral flags, as
suming that due respect for the safety
of Americans will be given.
With the question of declaring cer
tain waters' as in the zones of war on
belligerent merchant ships, the Amer
ican Government is not concerned.
Delay Is to Be Kxpeeted.
Neither communication will go for
ward, it is understood, until complete
information is available, which may
cause a delay of several days. The long
memorandum of the German Foreign
Office, sent by wireless to the Amer
ican press, has not reached the State
Department from Ambassador Gerard
and probably no action will be taken
pending its arrival. Nor has Ambassa
dor Page at London tmnsmitted any
official report as to the reasons for the
hoisting of the American flag on the
I.usltania. He cabled the State De
partment today the text of the British
Foreign Office statement published
two days ago. Justifying In general
terms the use by vessels or neu
tral flags to escape capture. He said
the statement had not been formally
communicated to him. but that on in
quiry at the Foreign Office, its authen
ticity was confirmed.
In the absence of any official state
ment from Great Britain to the United
States on the case of the Lusitania,
any inquiry which may be made by
this Government on the subject of the
use of neutral flags by British vessels
probably will be based on the foreign
Office statement, and confined to the
general question rather than any
specific case.
GEHMAXY 1KA1ES "BLOCKADE"
Von Jugow Iteiterates Warning to
Neutrals' in New "War Zone."
BERLIN, via The Hague to London,
Feb. 9. Gottlieb von Jasow, the Ger
man Foreign Secretary, who 1b paying
a short visit to Berlin in the absence
of Emperor William un the eastern
front, received the correspondent of
the Associated Press today and ex
plained to him the nature of the re
ceiitlv announced German naval meas
ures "to be taken against hostile com
mercial shipping, over which lie said,
there seemed to be some misapprehen
sion abroad owing to the delay in the
transmission of the memorandum ac-
conipanviug the proclamation. lae
phrase "submarine blockade." as used
In the press discussion 'of the proc
lamation abroad, the Foreign Secretary
said, perhaps also was responsible for
this apprehension.
"The announcement of February 4
of Admiral von Pohl, chief of the Ad
miraltv Staff, was not a declaration
of a blockade." said Heir von Jagow.
confirming an earlier statement by the
Admiralty to the Associated Press.
"All questions as to its validity
premised on this theory therefore are
excluded. The Admiralty proclamation,
by a designation of waters around
Great Britain, and Ireland as a war
area, announces Germany's intention to
conduct war operations in this region
and particularly to destroy commercial
ships of the enemy.
"England months ago declared In
similar fashion the whole of the North
Sea a war area.
"German warships heretofore have
destroved merchant ships belonging to
the enemv only when there was every
certainty ' that their passengers and
crew could get safely away. But in
the future this forbearance must be
subordinated to military considerations
and to the consideration that England,
by measures inadmissable under inter
national law. has paralyzed neutral
commerce with Germany in an attempt
to force upon the German civilian pop
ulation death by starvation.
"Anyhow," continued Herr von
Jagow, "hostile merchantmen have no
claim to consideration If. as in part
already has been the case, they arej
armed or offer resistance to the Ger
man navaf forces. Since the British!
Admiralty, on January 31. instructed
British merchantmen to use neutral
Hags, neutral ships, even without tak
ing into consideration the unavoidable
accidents of war. run the risk of be
ing mistaken for hostile merchant
ships and of falling victims to attacks
intended for these ships.
"It was to this danger that the an
nouncement particularly called atten
tion. "The German naval forces have, or
course, received orders to use no vio
lence against neutral ships, so far as
these are recognizable as' such, but
this confidential instruction by the
British Admiralty as to the use of
neutral flags makes such identification
a matter of extreme difficulty.
"Neutral shipping can, therefore, only
be urgently warned again, as in the
earlier announcements, to avoid the in
dicated war zone until further notice.'
No protests, according to Herr von
Jagow, have been received from neutral
states concerning the Admiralty meas
ure, although several of them, he said,
had applied for Information as to its
scope.
Protect TrRde Is Plea.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. As a warning
to Americans against British Interfer
ence with oversea commerce Albert E.
Heaschel, president of the conference
to promote the commerce of the Port
and State of New Tork, uas issued the
following statement:
"In the ordinary course America
would now enjoy practically all the
neutral commerce of the world lost to
the warring nations. This, however,
would be more poignantly unwelcome
to England than mere German rivalry
because inherently there -are no such
basic historical discords between Eng
land and Germany as there are between
England and the United States.
"That distinguished peace advocate.
Norman Angell, not long before the
outbreak of the war suggested that in
stead of celebrating 109 years of peace
with the United States, with which it
had had two wars and several near
wars," England would be better em
ployed in arranging to celebrate 1000
years of peace with the German peo
ple. "It must be borne in mind that the
commercial rivalry between England
and America is of a radical character.
In the early days of the Republic, lead
ing up to the War of 1813, it was the
constant aim of British statesmanship
to cripple the commercial growth of
America, During the lite ana aeain
struggle of the United States to pre
serve the Union it was England's pol
icy to destroy American commerce. Our
mercantile marine, which challenged
that of all other nations, was swept
from the ocean. England was niolli
lied when we were lulled into a soporific
ease in all oversea enterprises.
"It would not at all serve England
to have ns get away with any of the
benefits that the war has thrown into
our lap.
"If England for a moment had be
lieved that her participation In war
would build up the commercial strength
of America she would not have declared
war against Germany, because by rea
son of our happy isolation we are more
invulnerable than Germany, which has
constantly to be on her guard against
enemies at her elbow.
"I hop that our present President
will be as potent in protecting Amer
ican commerce as another President
was in upholding the American Mon
roe doctrine."

EAST PRUSSIA IN DANGER
Previous Trouble In Lithuanian Parish
Leads Police lo Believe Crime
Was for Revenge.
NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Feb. 9. Rev.
Joseph Zebris, pastor of St. Andrews
Lithuanian Catholic Church and his
housekeeper. Mas Eva Gillman, were
found dead in the rectory today. The
priest had been shot to death. The
body bore two bullet wounds. The
woman had been strangled with a
clothes line, but she had also a bullet
wound in the wrist.
The body of the priest was found
on the parlor floor and that of Miss
Gillman in her room in the attic.
Father Zebris was 50 years old and
had been here 15 years. Miss Gillman
was 40 years old.
The crime was discovered when
parishioners investigated the failure of
the priest to appear for mass. The
house was found to be locked and
entrance was gained through a cellar
window.
The police say there was trouble in
the parish not long ago and that the
crime may have been due to revenge.
It was recalled today that about two
years ago the priest received several
letters from New York demanding
money from him under threat of serious
harm.
WAR PRICES STIR" LABOR

Employment of Belgian or Women

in Agriculture as Well.
LONDON". Jan. 10. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The Increase
in prices, brought about by the war,
has resulted in unrest among the labor
ing classes and in widespread demands
for better wages. The problem is com
plicated by the scarcity of labor in
some trades, due in part to the num
ber of men who have joined the army.
Railway men in all parts of England
have passed resolutions urging their
union officials to make demands at
once for an increase in wages.
The manager of the Newcastle street
railway system is considering the ad
visability of employing women car
conductors.
In many parts of the United King
dom, agricultural laborers are agitat
ing for an increase in wages.
Various plans are under considera
tion, such as the employriient of Bel
gians or women laborers or the ex
emption of skilled agricultural labor
