A Dutch shipowner has hit upon a new way of "showing the flag" which opens up rather dreadful possibilities. One of his steamers recently caused a ■ sensation in a Danish port by arriving 1 there flying the Dutch ensign embellishI ed with an advertisement of an oil eu- ' gine manufacturing firm. Some nasty ' things were said in the Danish Press regarding this piece .of commercial "enterprise," and the Dutch authorities have administered a sharp reproof to those who thus degraded the national j flag. Times may be bad for shipowners, I but we cannot imagine, for instance, I (says "Syren and Shipping"), Lord | Leverhulme (since deceased) supplying ; his ships -with Red Ensigns bearing the ; legend, "Use Sunlight isoap."
