shlngtOn.-Germany has instruct

United States Government that the
assurances regarding the future con-
duct of submarine farfare. given in the
Lusltanla and Arabic cases, still are
binding, but that they apply only to
merchantmen OF peaceful character.
The German government is understood
to contend that armed merchantmen
have without regard to the nature of
their armament shown themselves not
TO be peaceful and therefore are sub
Ject to destruction without warning.
The instructions direct the German
AMAas sador particularly to tell Secre-
tary Lansing that British merchant
men armed ostensibly only for de-
1ense have not assumed the character
Of peaceful traders, but that on the
contrary they carry guns for the spe-
clal purpose of attacking German
submarines. To support this claim
the Berlin Foreign Office has sent the
Ambassador for presentation to the
state department list of at least 20
incidents where 1t is claimed British
merchant ships have attacked sub
Marines -.
