SECRET INSTRUCTIONS FOUND. Germany Disclcses English Admir- alty's Orders to Arm
 Merchantmen.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-The appendices attached to the German memorandum notifying neutral nations that armed merchantmen, belonging to countries at war with Germany will be con siderad warships, included alleged secret instructions by the British admiralty found on the British steamer Wocdwield. The Woodfeld was sunk November 3, last. A list of the crew aboard showed a gun cap tain and gun crew from the navy on board the vessel. The instructions opened by declaring: "The ratings embarked as a gun crew will sign the ships articles at the rate of pay communicated. Ratings are not required for duties not connected with armament except in case of emergency. They are to keep watch at sea and also when the ship is anchored at any place where it is liable to attack by submarine. They will not mess with the crew, but in one of the officers messes. Uniform, will not be worn in neutral ports"
 The next section, under the title, Drill and Maintenance of Guns," gives instructions for supplementing the gun crew for the regular mem bers of the crew, for the supply of ammunition, gun practice and so forth.
 The third section, which is headed Action" opens as follows:
 "The master is responsible for the handling of the ship and opening and ceasing of fire"
 It then prescribes regulations for fighting submarines, among them be- ing the following:
 "It is to be remembered that over shots are useless. A short shot by causing splash confuses the enemy and may ricochet into the enemy. If the shell bursts on striking the water, as i. usually does, some fragments are likely to hit the enemy. To get the best results. at least half the shcts should fall short. It is inadvisable to open fire at range greater than 800 yards"
 The final sections of the instruc- tions for firing practice prescribe that practice shall take place out of sight of land and of other ships.
