BRITISH UNEASY ON NICKEL

LONDON, Feb. 10,-Tho British Foreign
Office has Just been advised that the

lime tho Canadian government has been
criticised for allowing nickel to be ex

many kinds of war munitions. After
complaint had been made tho Dominion
government employed an expert account

Bee that no shipments were made which
could possibly find their way Into Ger

ANOTHER CUMRDER
HOISTS U.S.FLAGT0
ESCAPE SUBMARINE
Or'duna Reaches New York
After Flying False Colors,
Evading German U-21
Off Liverpool.
NEW TORK, Feb. 10.-A second In
stance of the hoisting of tho American
flag by British ships In fear of German
submarines was brought to light today
when tho Cunard liner Orduna arrived
hero from Liverpool. The Orduna, which
left Liverpool on January 31, hoisted tho
American flag shortly after she had de
parted from her mooring. Tho American
flag was kept up until tho Orduna ar
rived off Qucenstown, when tho British
ensign was once moro run up.
News of the use of tho American flag
on tho Orduna was given out by II. T,
Strong nnd Jamci Ford, of Lynn, Mass.,
who wero pnssengers aboard tho vessel.
It was on Saturday, January 31, the day
that the Orduna sailed, that the big Ger
man submarlno U-21 torpedoed nnd sunk
threo steamships off Fleetwood to the
north of Liverpool, Tho first of these ves
sels to be sunk, the Ben Cuachen, was
sent to tho bottom Just about tho time
that tho Orduna turned her nose out of
the Mersey Into tho Irish Sen. At that
timo tho Orduna was flying her mall pen
nnnt and the Union Jack. A wireless
message was received and hurried to the
captain, who, tho passengers say, was then
on tho bridge. Shortly nfterward the
British flag was hauled down and the
American flag hoisted.
Several of tho passengers declared that
members of the crew had told them that
tho captain had been warned by the
British Admiralty that there wero a num
ber of German submarines cruising not
only In tho Irish Sea, but also off tho
coast of Ireland, and that ho waa to take
all precautions to protect his ship and
his malts.
The Cunard Lino Issued a statement
this afternoon admitting that tho Orduna
had flown the American flng upon leaving
Liverpool, and had kept It hoisted until
after leaving Queonotown. It denied,
however, tho story that the flag had been
flown nt the Orduna's stern. The state
ment follows:
"Tho American flag at no time wns
raised nt tho stern of tho Orduna. After
leaving Liverpool the American flag was
raised on the foremost mast top to Indi
cate that the veseel was sailing for the
I'nlted States. Tho flag was kept up
until after leaving Qucenstown. It was
again raised on entering this port this
morning. The report that the flag was
raised at the stern of the vessel Is simply
passenger talk."

CREWS AND CARGOES
DOOMED IN GERMAN
"ZONE," SAYS JAGOW
Kaiser's Foreign Secretary
Warns Neutrals That
Their Ships Are Endan
gered in Prescribed Area.
BERLIN, Feb. lO.-Gottlleb von Jagow,
Gorman Foreign Secretary, explained tho
nnturo of the recently announced German
naval measures to be taken against hos
tile commercial shipping, over which he
said there seemed to be somo misappre
hension. "Tho announcement of February 4 of
Admiral von rohl, chief of the Admiralty
Btaff, was not a declaration of a block
ade," Bald Ilcrr von Jagow. "All ques
tions as to Its validity premised on this
theory therefore are excluded. Tho Ad
miralty proclamation by a designation of
waters around Great Britain and Ireland
as a war area announces Gormany's In
tention to conduct war operations In this
region, and particularly to destroy com
mercial ships of tho enemy.
"England months ago declared In simi
lar fashion tho whole of tho North Sea
a war area. Gorman warships herotoforo
havo destroyed merchant ships belonging
to the enemy only when there was every
certainty that their passengers and crew
could get away safely. But In future this
forbearance must bo subordinated to
military considerations now that Eng
land, by mensures Inadmissible under In
ternational laws, has paralyzed neutral
commerce with Germany In an nttempt
to forco upon tho Gorman civilian popu
lation death by starvation.
"Anyhow hostile merchantmen havo no
claim to consideration, If, as In part al
ready has been tho case, they are armed
or offer rcslatanco to tho German naval
forces. Since tho British Admiralty on
January 31 instructed British meichant
men to uso neutral llagB, ncutrnl ships,
ovon without taking Into consideration
the unavoidable accidents of war, run
the risk of being mistaken for hostllo
merchant ships nnd of falling victims
to attacks Intended for theso Bhlps.
"Neutral shipping can, therefore, only
bo urgently warned again, as In tho ear
lier announcements, to avoid tho Indi
cated war zone until further notice."
