The Note reminds Germany that the United States is now open to criticism for angentral acu. If commanders of German warships act on the presumption that the flag of the United States is not used in good faith and should destroy on the high seas American vessels and the lives of American citizens it would be difficult for the Government of the United States to view the act in any other light than an indefensible violation of mental rights, which it would be very hard indeed to reconcile with the friendly relations now happily existing bo- tween the two governments and they would be constrained to held the imperial government to strict accountability for such acts and take any steps that might be necessity to safeguard American lives and property.
The Note concludes by mentioning that representations had been made to Great Britain concerning the "unwarranted use of the American flag for the protection of British ships."
THE NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN.
The Nole to Great Britain recites that the State Department had been. advised of a declaration by the German Admiralty that the Britial Government had explicitly authorised the use of neutral flags. It also mentions the Lusitanio incident and Press reports of n Foreign Office statement defending the use of the neural Bag, and declares that the American Government view with anxions sclicitude any general use of the Bag of the United States by British reasels traversing the waters mentioned in the German Order.
