THE MANIFESTO
GERMANY ISSUED

The German memorandum Of Feb
ruary referred to was addressed to
neutral nations and declared that
February 90 Germany would consider
all armed merchantmen belonging to
countries at war with Germany as
warships and that such vessels would
be treated accordingly and sunk with
out warning.
II charged that before the out
break OF the war the British govern
ment had given British shipping COM
panies an opportunity to arm mer-
chantmen with guns, for protection
against dangers threatening under
certain circumstances from auxiliary
cruisers Of other powers" The British
admiralty. it was added. published in
January !. 1914. list showing that
20 steamers of various English lines
carried stern guns
Knew Ships Were Armed.
Germany established soon after the
outbreak of the war. the memoran-
DUN said. that English liners were
armed-the steamer La Correntina,
having been captured carrying two
four pound, seven-inch stern guns
and German submarine having been
fired upon in the channel by an Eng
lish yacht.
The memorandum said the British
government for its own merchant
men had taken the standpoint that
armed merchantmen maintained the
character of peaceful mercantile yes
sells so Ion. as they only carried
armament for defensive purpose. but
that in the case Of armed ships un-
der other flags it had adopted the
principle that they were to be treated
as warships.
The German government" the
memorandum continued has no
doubt that merchantmen acquire a
belligerent character through arming
with cannon, no matter whether the
guns shall serve only for defense or
for attack. II considers every war
like activity Of enemy merchant
men as contrary to international law.
although IL takes into consideration
the opposing views through the fact
that II treats the crews of such ships
not as pirates but as belligerents"
Numerous Cases.
The memorandum said that nu-
merous cases had come to light from
reports of the German naval forces
in which British merchantmen not
only offered armed resistance to Ger
many warships, but on their own
part proceeded without further ado
to attack them in which attacks they
frequently made use of false colors"
Appendices TO the communication
reported to be Photographic copies
Of instructions of the British admir-
atty describing the procedure of
armed British merchantmen which
were found on captured ships. They
We're alleged to contain precise reg
ulations concerning the reception.
activity and control OF British gun
crews aboard merchantmen.
Under these instructions" the
memorandum said. "it is rendered
clear that armed English merchant
ships have official permission treach-
erously to attack German subma-
rines everywhere when they come
near them; that is to wage war
against them unscrupulously"
The manifesto was issued in order
that the neutral powers might warn
their subjects from further entrust-
ing their persons or property to
armed ships of the powers at war
with Germany"
