Dr. van Dyke has been trying for four

days through the friendly medium of

the German Minister at The Hague to

obtain an explanaU.ui from Berlin of

what he considers an invasion of his

diplomatic privileges, but no ans'ver

has come from the German capital.

"That statement of fact is correct,"

said Di. van Dyke lo-dav. "The action

of the German commander at Trier

may have been a mistake of ignorance,

but it must be explained and apologized

for.

"Luxemburg is a very small country ,

London, Feb. IS. "The Times." in

an editorial discussing the American

note regarding the use of a neutral

flag, ?ays:

"The fair and reasonable attituile

which America has observed in all the

strengthened our customary desire to

re^pe?-t not only her right?, but her

unlikely to e\ernse so as to expose the

shipping of neatlal states to serious

peril or ?ncon.enicnce. It i? clear that

the -ahole neident of Ihe Lusitania

arose from th? tact that the Admiralty

had information of Germany's real in?

tentions before these were proclaimed

in the memorandum ?>t February 4.

"The step wa? so regular as to be a1

it ?as taken in a wav which, vithout

necessity, gave the Germans a dialecti

cal advantage. The advantage lav la

?act that just ?hen American in?

dignation at the German menace was

very vehement the statement of the

Foreign (?flic? and the arrival of the

Cunard liner under the American flag

suddenly revealed that (he Admiralty

had in fact a?i?i*ed British merchant?

men to resort to the fam'liar dev.ee of

flying a neutral ring.

"There ha? not been any misuse of

that flag, as the German* falsely as?

serted, but resort w?s had to an old

custom of the sea ?it a time when the

step wa? particularly likely to cause

discussion aiiii to afford (?ermans in the

*':r.ted State? a fresh opening for mis?

representation.

"The cool ?en?e of the American peo?
