Austria Allows Time to Warn NeutralS- S-0fdCial Memorandum

Vienna, Feb. 10, via London Feb. II, D. m.-The text of the memoran- dum communicated by the Austro- hungarian foreign office today to the representatives of neutral govern mehts, announcing the decision of Austrla-Hungary to treat as Warships dIHeo merchamtment of countries at war With this nation, is as follows:
 It IS not unknown to the govern menus or neutral powers that the British admiralty in the course of the year 1913 caused a number of large British liners to be armed. The first lord Of the admiralty declared in the house of commons on March 26, 1913, that the armament of the vessels in question was only to protect them from dangers threatening them from hostile ships converted into auxiliary cruisers ana to serve exclusively for defense.
 Used Guns Against Ships.
 Experiences gained in the present var show that a considerable number of British merchantmen used the guns installed aboard against hostile war ships, and not solely with the inten- ton to escape legitimate exercise of the prize right but also to attack and OCSIrOy ouelIS WdTSn1pS.
 AS is evident from the memOran- dunn which the imperial German gov crnment today communicated to nell- tral states, instructions have been found aboard British steamers which prove that the British government it. self melted it's merchantmen to illegal acts, and this in complete contradic- tion to assurances which it communi cated to the state department at Washington. It's allies, particularly France and Italy, followed the exam pie of Great Britain during the course of hostilities."
 Lose NOn-combatant Status
 "Without wishing to enter into an examination of the surprising claim advanced by the British government, according to which liners armed by that government retain their inoffen- ! sive character while merchantmen ! armed by the enemy are regardable by l the British naval forces as auxiliary cruisers, the AustrO-H Hungarian gov- limits itself to establishing ! that every merchantmen provided, l for any purpose whatever with can : non losses through this fact alone the | chara cter of a non-combatant ship.
  Ter has been given to the Austro naval forces to treat such | hirs as combatants-an order which, l however will be in force from Febru- ,ry 29, 1916." This delay is granted 1 n the interests of neutral powers, in rder that they may be placed in osition to warn their nationals of the anger to which they will expose themselves, if they entrust their per- ons or property to armed merchant nen of states at war with Austria Hungary. and also to notify those of heir nationals who may already be board ships of the above mentioned haraCter.
