LONDON,_ Feb. 7.-The following statement was issued by the Foreign Office t0-t\ight.:-- _ _ “ The use of a neutral flag is. with certain limitations, a well established practice as a ruse-de-guerre. The only effect in ease of merchantmen wear- ing a fiag other tllall her national flag is to compel the enemy to follow the ordinary obligations of naval warfare and satisfy himself as to the llation- nifty of the vessel ami the cllaracter of iler cargo by examination before capturing her and taking her into the prize court for adjudication. The British Government always considered the use of_Brltish colours by foreign vessels legitinlate for the purpose ot' escaping capture. Such practise not only illvolves no breach of interna- tional law, but is specifically recog- nised by the law of this country, according to the Mercllallt Shipping Act of 1894. ill instructions to British Consuls in 1913 it is statedz- _ “A ship is liable to capture In Brit- ' ish character is improperly assumed except for tile purpose of escaping capture. "As we have in practice not object- ed to foreign merchant vessels using _a British merchant flag as s ruse for lthe purpose of evading capture at sea ,at the hands of a belligerent so we _should maintain tllat ill the converse ‘»case a British vessel colnnlltted no |brench oi international law in assunl- ing neutral colors- for a silllilar pur. pose if she thought fit. By the rules of international law, the customs of war and the dictates ot' humanity it is obligatory upon a belligerent to ascertain tile character of a merchant vessel and cargo be- fore capture. Germany has no right to disregard this obligation. To destroy the ship of a non-com. batallt and its crew ami cargo, as Ger- many antlonnces iler intention of do- ing, is nothing less than an act of pi- racy on the high seas."

Senator Fletcher, ill cllarge ot' the bill, said he would be willing to vote to reconlmit if he could have assurance of enough votes to carry a nlotion to discharge the committee. By such a plan, he said, the bill could be placed before the senate again as readily as through the passage of the nlotioll to re-commit with instructions. MINERS KILLED ~ BY EXPLOSION _,_,i_.
