NEW BRITAIN PAGE SENDS REPORT |RUSSIANS REPULSE AUSTRIAN ATTACKS ON ALLEGED USE OF « fLAG BY LUSITANIA' (Continued from First Pagc.) however, contain few instances in Wwhich the use of a foreign flag on a merchantman has come into a ques- tion. One instance, though not in lirpe of war, came up during the term of’Secretary Sherman in the state de- partment, in which the London board of trade intervened to stop improper display of a United States flag. These are Secretary Sherman’s words: “A line of steamers plying between kng- land and the United States under the British flag has for some years past used the United States union jack as its house flag. Upon inguiry being made by the ambassador in London, the British Board of Trade inter- vened in virtue of its authority in ,matters of shipping and navigation, and I am just informed that the lino in question has been constrained to adopt another distinctive house flag.” In May, 1903, the Amercan minis- ter to Brazil brought to the natice of the Brazilian government the fact that a Brazilian line of sailing vessels was using a house flag resembling one of the forms of the national ensign of the United States. The complaint waas referred to the navy department of Brazil, and the American minis- ter was subsequently informed that the Brazilian firm owning the vessels in question had ordered another flag -to be substituted for that which had been in use. Improper Use of Flag. | “ Chalrman Stone of the senate for- eign relations committes, a White House caller today, said that in his opinion the flying of the American flag by the Lusitania was an ‘‘Improper use of the flag.” Senator Stone added that it would be possible for congress to adopt a resolution protesting against the in- dident, but that he thought it a mat- ter to be handled entirely by the exec- utive branch of the.government. Awaits American Action. London, Feb. 8, 12 noon.—The news of the arrival at Liverpool under the American flag of the Cunard Line steamer Lusitania is given much space in the English papers today. The information was received too late to permit of much editorial comment as vet, but enough has been printed to show that the incident is regarded as one of great importance. It is not generally expected, however, that the British government will take further action unless Washington requests an explanation. Advice Doubtlessly Given. ‘London, Feb. 8, 4:40 a. m.—While | maintaining that it is impossible the admiralty could have given a secret order to merchant vessels to fly neu- i tral flags, the Times naval correspon- - dent admits it is quite neutral the admiralty should advise merchantmen to hoist neutral flags or take any other précautions to conceal their identit when passing through submarine-in- fested waters. He adds that such advice doubtless has been given. "In 1900, however, a naval regula- tion was issued at the instance of | Rear Admira] Stockton, head of a| board revising the code, absolutely | /nrohibiting the use of either neutral [t or enemy flags for purposes of decep- | tion. Put very soon after the signing of the order, and before it had found general circulation, the attention of | President Roosevelt vras drawn to by some naval officers of high rank, | wha pointed out that it had been practiced from time immemorial and was perfectly legitimate warfare to make use of a neutral flag to ap- proach either an enemy ship or his ~patteries or to run down a prize, with the single condition that before a hos- tile shot was fired the neutral flag must come down and the true stan- idard be hoisted. President Roosevelt was moved by those arguments to rescind the new regulations, which gave place to the one now extant. Recalls Celebrated Case. A celebrated case of the successful use of a neutral flag during time of war is a classic in naval histo It was that of the confederate sloop-of-war Oneida, which ap- proached Mobile harbor in 1362 un- der _the British ensign. Captain Preble, in command of the federal blockading fleet caused a blank shot to be fired across the Oneida’s but not in time to prevent the con- federate vessel from running the blockade and entering Mobile harbor, where she found shelter under the shore batteries. Captain Preble was dismissed from the naval service on the ground that he*had not adopted sufficiently vigor- ous measures to stop the Oneida, but (e was afterwards restored to the navy by action of the captain of the Oneida, who, in disregard of bis own personal safety and without waiting for a safe conduct from the federal commanders, passed through the union lines and came to President Lincoln at the White House to testify | that Captain Preble had discharged his full duty under international law, especially in view of a tender state of relations between the United States and Great Britain.

Russian military observers in Poland find in the disorder and dis- organization evidences in this German retreat increasing proof of what they call the weakening of the German morale, No Rapid Progress, Although it is expected here that the Russian offensive will now extend over the whole Polish front, even the most sanguine observers do not look for any very rapid progress in the resumption of the aggressive cam- paign, since the Russians have de- tailed Information of elaborate Ger- man fortifications extending from the Vistula south to Skierniewice and Lavaka. The general consensus of military operation in Warsaw today, however, is that the Russians will re- take western Poland in the early spring. Great tribute is paid here by all observers to the continued mobility shown by the German forces in their lightning changes of front. In the | Tecent transfer to FEast Prussia the Germans made use of an enormous | number of automobiles for the mov- | ing of their soldiers. They are in pos- session of 30,000 motor cars, each ac- commodating twenty men with food and ammunition, and capable of a i speed of sixteen miles an hour. Russians Capture Villages, 1 Geneva, Via.

Austrian headquarters has prohibited war correspondents from going to the front at Poschorita. The Austrians are reported to have been driven back beyond the Moldava river, and the Russians also have gained some small successes at Yablomitza.

CLAIM TIE VOTE IN SHIP BILL FIGHT Return of Senators ewlands and Smith Changes Parliamentary Situation. Washington, Feb. 8.—The lull in the battle in the senate over the admin- istration ship purchase bill came to an end today. The senate had been | in recess since Friday. Meantime the democratic leaders had been wait- ing for the arrival of Senator New- lands to reinforce their side. The mation of Senagor Clarke to recommit the shipping bill without in- structions still was pending, with in- dications that it would be allowed to Even with the vote leaders admitted that they defeat the Clarke motion. With the arrival of Senator New- | lands and Senator Smith of South Car- olina, the parliamentary situation was | changed. Senator Smith had not| been expected to return on account of serious illness in his family. With his | vote and that of Senator Newlands, | administration leaders claimed a tie| vote on the motion ta recommit with fnstructions. Then the vice-president would be relied on to cast the decid- | | ing vote. As soon as republican | leaders learned of the return of Sen- | ators Newlands and Smith, a confer- | ence was called to consider plans of | action. The republicans determined to op- pose any effort to bring up Senator | Gore's resolution to discharge the commerce committee from considering his substitute bill, which embodies | amendments satisfactory to progres- sive republicans and may receive sip- port from the seven democratic in- | surgents. Should the democrats press a vote on their recommittment motion the republicans plan to re_ sume the filibuster. | Today was one of the exceptions in | recent history of the senate when a full attendance, ninety-six senato was present.

PROMINENT GREEKS MADE MAN AND WIFE | Big Celebration of Marriage Observed in Judd’'s Hall Yesterday and Today. Beginning at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and continuing through to- day, a big festival in celebration of the wedding of Peter Cholakis, a New York confectioner, to Miss sister of the local confectioner, was held in Judd's hell. The wedding took place at 6:30 o'clock last evening, being per- formed by the Rev. Constantine Liacopulos, of Springfield. This wedding was the higgest Greek affair of its kind that has ever taken place in this city and was impressive- Iy carried out according to the rites | and customs of that country and Te- ligion. The priest was garbed in the flowing robes of his church and the bride wore a white silk gown and carried white roses. She was attended by Miss Frieda Hahn, as bridesmaid, and by her sister-in-law, Mrs. George I.eonard, as matron of honor. The Lest man was Manuel Runidotes, of Hartford. Over 200 guests enjoved the recep- tion and feast which followed. The rative dances were enjoved and one | peculiar custom was the showering of the bride with candy, confetti and rice.
