GERMANY SEEMS DISPOSED
TO CHANGE POSITION

II also was Indicated AT the State
Department to-day tina, Germany by
recent acts. had showu 81 disposition
to change her original position in re-
gard to the right of merchant ships TO
carry defensive armament. Originally,
tho Berlin government denied that 1t
was legal for merchant ships 10 arm
at all. Now some officials hero con-
slider that Germany appears willing to
admit that armament is legal. II purely
defensive.
Instructions TO port authorities
issued on September Q. 1915. permit
merchant ships to clear from American
ports. provided they arc carrying no
more than two guns. mounted aft, OF
not more than SiN-inch caliber. No
merchant ships ever have come into
American waters with the ma ximum OF
armament provided for
State Department officials were en-
phatic in saying that, while additional
limitations might be placed upon the
defensive armament. the complete cx-
clusion of armament would be euuiva-
lent to change of international law,
which cannot he made during the course
OF hostilities except by general assent.
Leaders in both houses OF Congress-
who for several days have agitated
passage OF resolution warming Ameri-
cans not TO travel on armed ships
seemed convinced tonight that no
such measure could he put through
at present. Senator Gore, who has
such resolution pending issued a
statement saying that. while he still
favored warming, he believed the OBJ
jects sought by his resolution already
had been accomplished through public
discussion. Representative McLcmore,
whose warning resolution in the House
has been kept from coming up by adj
miniStratiou leaders. said he was con-
tent TO wait until the President and
Secretary Lansing had opportunity to
try out their policy OF asserting deter
mincdly the right OF travel on ships
bearing arms.
