Washington, April ga statement
defining the attitude Of the United
States toward armed merchant ships
was made public today by the state
department by direction Of President
Wilson. It originally was prepared al
a circular note to other powers, but
it later was decided to issue # as a
statement. .. Es
The statement holds to the right, Of
a merchant ship to arm for protec-
tion only but declares that merchant
for aggressive purposes are not en-
titled to the same hospitality in neutral
ports as peaceable armed merchants

central powers to prevent a rupture OF
rela tions with the United States

central powers to prevent a rupture OF
relations with the United States
In accordance with this sentiment
Germany Is prepared to make con-
cessions to he United States, but
naturally she is endeavoring to pre-
serve the offensive character of her
underseas weapon. The conference
which Ambassador Gerard had yester-
day with Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg related largely to the extent
Of the limitations President Wilson in
sists shall be imposed upon the sub
marine. f N4&&
Gerard Explains Demands,
Mr.. Gerard under the instructions
he has received, made it clear that
his government has no intention to
demand that there should be a ces-
sation of warfare against merchant
men; merely asking that in all at
tacks upon merchantmen the principles
of humanity and international law
should be regarded.
The chancellor, it is known, quoted
the assurances hitherto given as es
tablishing the position Of the German
government. Germany mas been and
still Is willing to abide by those as
surances and will see that they are
lived up to more strictly in the future.
Officials Discuss Details.
Officials consider significant that
following the Interview with Mr.. Ger
ard the chancellor conferred with Ad-
miral Won Holtbendorff, chief of staff
of the admiralty. 1t is assumed he
discussed with that officer the details
of the presidents demands set forth
by Mr.. Gerard and obtained his views
thereon. These demands are:
1. That all ships shall be subject to
visit and search, except warships and
national vessels generally.
~ That before vessels subject to
destruction as prescribed by interna
tional law are sunk provision shall be
made to put the passengers and crew
in a place of safety.
= Warning Not Sufficient.
In other words, the American gov
ernment, In view of the experience Of
the war; no longer considers a mere
warning" sufficient The submarine
has been translated into the cruiser
GLASS. and thereby Is required to send
an officer aboard a ship overhauled
for the purpose of examining papers.
