O a conclusion currrapguuinj. . m iDirlt of real neutrality regarding the icr rri nt The secret order of the Rritish Admiralty, recommending to British merchant ships tm use or neu tral fiaim has been communicated by jiormnnv to the United States ana confirmed D communication wun i.m d. t .h h'nr. ?n imic. wn cn oca- ignates this procedure as entirely unobjectionable and In .accordance ,i.h HritiKli law. British mer chant shipping- immediately fol lowed this advice, as doubtless is known to the American Government from the Incidents of the Lriisltania and Laertes. "Moreover, the British government has supplied arm. to British merchant ships and instructed them forcibly to resist German submarines. In these circumstances It would be very diffl ,iit for submarines to recognise nautral merchant ships, for search in most cases cannot oe unoot- taken, seeing that in case of disguised British ship from wnicn a" a-non- be expected the searching party and the submarine would be exposed to de struction. . "Great Britain then was in a position to make the German measures illusory if the British merchant .fleet persisted in the misuse of neutral fl?gs and neu tral ships could not otherwise be rec ognised beyond doubt. Germany, how ever, being in a states of necessity, where she was placed by violation of law must render effective her meas ures in all circumstances, in order thereby to compel her adversary to adopt methods of warfare correspond ing with international law and so to restore the freedom of the seas of which Germany at all times is the defender and for which she today is fighting. Warship Convey Suggested. "Germany therefore rejoices that the United States has made represen tations to Great Britain concerning the illegal use of their flag, and expresses the expectation that this procedure will force Great Britain to respect the American flag in the future. ''In this expectation, commanders or German submarines have been, instruct ed as already mmiuumu , , Z February 4, to refrain from violent ac .. .in.t American merchant ves ed, as already menuonea in ino . tion against American merchant ves sels, so far as tnese can u . to nrovent in th. surest manner the consequences of confusion though naturally not so far as mines are concerned Germany recommends that the United States make their ships which are conveying peiui through the British war sone discerni ble by means of convoys. "Germany believes it may act on the supposition that only such ships would be convoyed as carried goods not re garded as contraband, according to the British interpretation made in the case of Germany. "How this metnoa oi coiiyoj -u u carried out is a question concerning which Germany is ready to open nego tiations with the United States as soon a. possible. Avoid War Ze.e, J.

CONVOYS ARE INSISTED ON Bitterness Toward United Slates De clared to Be Growing as Result of Shipment or Munitions to Allies. BERLIN, Feb. 18, via London. Count von Reventlow, the German naval initio mmmanti in today's issue of the Tages Zeitung on the answer of the German government to tne Amen-n note on the subject of tho .marine war xone around Great Britain. The writer declares that the tone of the German note shows that Germany is prepared to go to the utmost limits compatible with the situation. No fault can be found with the declaration in the German answer. Count von Revent low declares, that the German govern ment, like the American, desires to pre vent occurrences which could dlsturd existing friendly relations. War Snppliea Cause Bltter.ess. "One can read only win pleasure those parts of the German answer whi-h refer to American supplies to England and France," the writer says. "Wo add to this that these shipments of weapons to our enemies have filled public opinion in Germany with deep Indignation and bitterness against the United States. Statistics of the amount of these shipments show that the Ger mans are not now justified in speak ing "of friendly relations." Count von Reventlow then refers to the government's assumption that neu trals do not intend to offer opposition to the forcible suppression of the weapon trade with Germany's enemies, and he say. that even if the German government finds itself disappointed in this self-evident assumption, it will carry its firm decision through to the end. Warships Essential to Recognition. 'Submarine commanders." the writer goes on to say. "have been instructed to avoid damaging American ships recognizable as such, but it must be pointed out that American ships will be recognizable as such only when they are accompanied by American warships. To assume that American flags make ships recognizanio ana assuro . safety would be a gross misconception of the note." The National Zeitung says it believes the United States will understand this i- ix. .v i tc normn.nv and that 1H lim ov,&fe - - the friendly, though firm, tone of the German answer will make a gooa im pression, the more so because Germany .t tho so mo time rives the United States the friendly advice to have war ships accompany its vessels.

The answer exceeds the demands or courtesy by pointing out to America a way of insuring the safety of her ships, namely, by a convoy of warships "We can only hope that the United States," the Tageblatt continues, "may understand the spirit breathed by the German note, which goes beyond the limits set by mere courtesy."
