*Norwegian SS ''Belridge'' torpedoed in Channel (but not sunk) and reaches port. First ship torpedoes by German submarine without warning.<ref group="note">German Government subsequently asserted that this ship was attacked in error.</ref>
*Memoranda published by British Government in reply to [[USA]] Notes about the neutral flag<ref group="note">It is urged that the British Merchant Shipping Act allows the use of the British flag by ships of other nations for the purpose of evading capture, and no nation has forbidden such use of its flag. It is added, however, that the British Government has no intention of advertising British merchant shipping to use foreign flags as a general practice or to resort to them except in order to escape capture or destruction. A belligerent vessel has the obligation of ascertaining the character of a ship before capturing it, and the British Government cannot assume responsibility for what may happen if this is disregarded.</ref> and
