Early Dr.tc.
WSHINOTON, Feb. 8. A report
from Ambassador Page at London on
tho hoisting of the American flag on
the Cunarder Lusltanla, whllo cross
ing the Irish Sea, was expected today
und pending Its arrival there were no
official statements of how the Amorl
can government regarded the Inci
dent. Naval officers recalled that tlm
navy regulations permit a warship to
fly another flag than Its own but
specifically provide It must be hauled
down nnd tho ship's own flag must
bo hoisted before a shot Is flril.
There aro many Incidents of tho naval
history where that has been done, tho
latest being the Gorman sea rover
Kmdcn. wjilcli hoisted tho Japansa
flag Just before making a daring
raid at Penang.
ft was recalled In naval circles to
day that when Captain Glass, com
manding the cruiser Charleston on his
way to the Philippines with a 'convoy
of troops, ' Btopiled and captured
Guam, he ordered tho Japancso flag
to be flown on his flagship and on the
ships of his flotilla. He signalled
this message to the cruisers Austra
lia, Peking and Sydney, merchant
ships charter to the government, and
In use as troop ships.
"Passing signal station nt Guam,
Charleston will hoist Japancso colors,
other vessels same or none."
All the authorities of international
law and the manual In use at tho
naval war college Justify tho use of
other flags on warships.
Chairman 3tono of the senato for
eign relations commltteo, a wbltu
house caller today, said 'that in his
opinion the flying of tho Amorlcan
flag by tho Lusltanla was an "Im
proper use of the flag" Senator
Stone added that It would bo possible
for congross to adopt a resolution
protesting .against the Incident, but
that ho thought It a matter to bo
handled entirely by tho executive
branch of tho government.
LONDON, Feb. 8, 3:07 p. m.
Wulter HInc3 Page, tho American
ambassador in London, toduy for
warded to tho statu department at
Washington a report on the Lusltanla
(lag Incident. The ambasador In his
report informally rovlows tho al
leged use of tho Amorlcan flag by the
Cnard lino on cntorliiK Lovorpool
Saturday morning, as described to
tho members ot tho cmbassay staff by
Americans who had crossed tho At
lantic on tho vessel.
.Mr. Page has not communicated
with the foreign office concerning tho
Incident nnd as yot no official com
munications concerning tho use of the
American flag by a Urltlsh vessel
passed between American and Urltlsh
governments.
As tho Lusltanlu carried 3(0 cabin
passengers, many ot them prominent
Americans who havo a wide acquaint
ance in London, the news ot the flag
Incident spread rapidly In the hotels
and clubs until It has become almost
the solo topic ot conversation.
Tho Urltlsh government stoutly
maintains that tho captain of the Lus.
Itaiilu was not ordered by government
officials to use tho flag,
