SUSPICIOUS CASE

Mr.. Lansing replied that. so far as
lie was advised:
Every suspicious case of vessel lsav-
ing American ports TO supply German
cruisers which has been brought to
the attention of the United States with
any basis of fact to support some such
statement has been fairly investi-
gated. The government of the
United states, therefore, feels obliged
to decline To accept any suggestions
intimating that its vigilance i'll the
maintenance OF It's neutral duties under
international law has been relaxed"
On another occasion the German am
hassador. in complaining to the state
Department that a tug left New York
to carry provisions to the British
cruiser Essex, declared that the tug
came out under the scarchlights OF the
emitted States steamship Florida" Mr.
Lansing answered that the United
States government had investigated the
matter thoroughly, and was not able

a series of communications passed
between the British embassy and the
State Department on defensive arna-
mcnt of merchantmen and the right of
bellgcrent merchant ships to leave
neutral ports prepared to arm at sea.
The British embassy stated that, with

warlike purposes, Great Britain would
hold the United States government re-
sponsble for any damages to British
trade or shipping injury to British
interests generally which may be
caused by such vessels having been
equipped at or departing from United
States ports"
The State Departments ruling that
It was permissible for merchant ships
TO arm for defensive purposes drew a
motto from the British embassy on in
structions from the Foreign ONCE, Civ
ing "the fullest assurances that British
merchant vessels Will never be used
for purposes OF attack. that they are
merely traders armed only for defense,
that they Will never fire unless first
