Germany Issues Warning That
Armed Merchant Ships
Will Not be Safe.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
LONDON, Feb. 11.-New issues, as
grave as those revolving about the
sinking of the Lusitania may arise
between the United States and the
central powers, officials here declared
today, as the result of the German
announcement that all enemy armed
merchantmen will be treated as war
ships and torpedoeu without warning
after February 20.
Austria, according to an Amster-
dam dispatch, today has handed to
the American ambassador at Vienna,
a note almost identical in text with
the German communication.
1t was stated on reliable authority
today that England and her allies
under no circumstances will yield the
right to arm merchantmen for defen-
sive purposes, practice recognized
by all nations.
1t is not believed here that the
united States having already recog-
nized this right, will change her
policy in the middle Of great war

marine acting under the new lnstruc-
tions, torpedo without warning and

prompt and decisive action.
rhe text of TIE German memoran-
dunn reached London too late for
lengthy comment in the morning
papers. The newspapers with head
ings such as new plea for piracy,
declared that the Germans. after
seeming to yield to the United States
in the Lusitania case, have embarked
on a new campaign of frightfulness,
with utter disregard for international
law and humanity. They expressed
the opinion that the submarine dispute
between United States and Germany
far from being settled, is suddenly re-
opened by the announcement OF the
new German policy.

for economic and political power
which has overshadowed the whole

advantage developed new world

themselves impotent in this crisis.
The only way left is to arouse public
sentiment through private initiative.

tury was too much of a battlefield

We must now commence to think OF
the duties of ourselves and the rights
of others as applied to national life.
This may be expressed as, first, the

First Assistant.
NATIONAL DEFENSE IDEAS NOT SAME
Major General Hugh Scott, Chief of Staff Of

the Time Being.

Commerce. had not decided upon den-
mite action. He had even dictated a
speech which he tried to make con-
form to the presidents wishes and
had announced to newspapermen that
advance copies OF his speech would
be given out as soon as his stenogra-
pher transcribed his notes.
The speech finally was Transcribed,
copies were made and Secretary Car
rison's private secretary had them
ready to give out, but as he was In
the very act OF doing 80, another en-
ploye in the secretary's ONCE was
called suddenly into Garrison's private
office. A moment later he dashed
out with the order that "the speech
must be held up for final perusal by
the secretary"
There was a wait Of over an hour.
During that time Secretary Garrison
called Assistant Secretary Breckin-
ridge into conference. AT the end OF
IN hour Breckinridge went directly
to HIS own Office aud returned q nom
ent later with his overcoat and hat
on. Secretary Garrison himself ap-
peared in the outer corridor with
Breckinridge q moment later and 1t
was announced that the secretary and
Mrs Garrison had been suddenly
called out of town.
The secretary earlier in the day had
told OF the death of Mrs. Joseph
Kuhn, wife OF Colonel Kuhn. military
attache of the American embassy In
Berlin, while she was standing in
the receiving line at Mrs. Garrison's
formal Wednesday reception. He had
said he had been terribly arecten
and that Mrs. Garrison had been
thrown into highly nervous condi-
ton because Of the tragic event. His
private secretary let the report be
spread that Mrs. Garrison was In a
worse state than the secretary mad
admitted and that 1t was necessary to
get her as far away from the scene
as possible.
Between the time Garrison an
nounced he had prepared his speech
and the time he announced the speech
would not be delivered, he had. writ
ten the note to President Wilson, re-
signing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Major
General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of
lie army, today is acting secretary
I war. while President Wilson is
making up his mind regarding a sue
essor for Lindley NJ. Garrison. whose
artled Washington.
Today speculation as to Garrison's 8
uccessor was buried beneath consid-
ration Of the differences between the
retiring war secretary and the presf-
ient regarding measures of national
defense. That Garrison regarded their
Nferences to be Of principle, not
merely of methods. it is agreed, is
khown by his action in quitting and
hat Of his assistant, Henry 8. Breck-
nridge, in doing the same.
The imm ediate reason. 1t was be-
Heved today, was that Secreatry Car
rison considered humiliating request
Ihpm the president regarding q speech
! M was scheduled to make yesterday
Eifternoon before the u. s. chamber
Of commerce. Garrison, the president
wrote him, should feel no hesitation
about expressing personal views on
both these subjects" (the Philippines
and national defense) but he added,
/ 4 hope you will be kind enough to
draw very carefully. the distinction
between your own individual views
tnd the views OF the administration" !"
The Garrison letter to the president
which drew forth this request, writ
ten Wednesday, said the secretary
considered the Clarke amendment to
the Philippine independence bill
which gave the islanders charge OF
their own affairs in two to four years,
an abandonment of the duty of .nis
nation and a breach of trust to the
PHILIPPINES. Regarding strong chances
OF passage of the Hay militia bill in

IN itself, but it's enactment into law

ceptance."

BERLIN, Jan. 11.-{By mail.)-The
German censorship was roundly de-
nounced today at special committee
meeting Of the refchstag. All day
long, while these criticisms were
being made the foreign office which
10 responsible for the political CEN
sorshlp and the war press bureau,
which controls the military news,
were minus their responsible heads.
They were at the reichstag Listening
to the attacks which were being
made, mostly by the socialists and
some provincial newspapers
The charges against the censor
ship are about the same as the critI-
csms Of American correspondents,
more bitter. They charge the CEN
sorship with discrimination, citing In
stances where some Journals have
been permitted to discuss peace,
while the socialists have not.
Speakers said conditions had be-
como much worse with the oroanlza-
tIon Of the war press bureau. They
declared the restrictions about food
discussions, especially the butter
shortage, were too severe and one
publisher said tho newspapers were
losing thousands Of dollars because
so much news Is suppressed.
The chief complaint OF the Amer-
can correspondents 10 that they are

In writing articles they try to write
not what they wish, but what they
think tho censor will pass Recently
the correspondents discovered that
their own accounts Of the butter
shortage and the demonstrations In
Berlin were suppressed while the gov
ernment wireless sent denial that
there were riots In Berlin.
American correspondents also be-
lieve that the government is too
strict about preventing comment on
current news affecting the relations
between the United States and Ger

TORPEDOED WITHOUT WARNING
AFTER LAST OF FEBRUARY

THE German memorandum said

carry guns for defense. Germany has
thus raised again the whole question
of submarine warfare as affecting neu-
trails"
We Cannot Protest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL The
United States, it was stated on high
est official authority today, cannot
protest the announced sea policy of
the Teutonic powers to sink armed
merchantmen without warning.
That this government, believing the
Teutonic nations to be within their
rights in this respect, shortly will
issue warning to all its nationals
not to travel on belligerent ships that
carry guns of any kind, seemed Ger.
tain.
This position must be taken, many
officials declared today, If Americas
attitude is to continue to be logically
followed out
The American attitude regarding
aiming of merchantmen, it became
known for the first time today, was
clearly set forth in the informal sug.
gestion it recently made to the en-
tente allies concerning the absence
Of conditions now, which in earlier
times was the excuse for arming OF
merchantmen" These reasons were
presence of privateers and pirates on
the high seas.
None of the powers addressed, Sec.
retary Lansing said today, has replied
to these suggestions. He said he
assumed their delay was caused by
the obvious necessity of joint delih.
Grafton of the question. The English,
however, unofficially have expressed
them selves unalterably opposed to
any suggestion that would put theiI
merchantmen at the mercy of the sub
marines. In informal statements, high
officials at the British embassy have
indicated their belief that England
and her allies would never consent
to this.
Despite this known opposition, il
was admitted at the state department,
