Armed Merchantmen

The present issue between the German gov
eminent and our own respecting the conduct OF
submarine operations seems to be this: Shall
German submarines concede to armed merchant
men of the enemy the first shot because citizens
of the United States have elected to travel on
such merchantmen?
The structure of the submarine is and at this
stage Of its development must be such that the
first properly directed shot is virtually certain to
be the last, in that only one shot, even that of
one FOUNDER, is fatal to the submarine.
Put in another form, the issue is whether a
merchantmen armed sufficiently to destroy a
submarine with one shot is defensively or Of
fensively armed.
Under rule formulated before the creation
of the submarine the presence of a relatively
small gun is held consistent with the presumpt-
ion of defensive armament.
That rule was founded on the facts A small
gun could not seriously injure a warship 1t
could not be made offensive at the will of the
commander of the merchantmen summoned to
surrender.
The rule does not square with the facts of the
! submarine. The principle upon which the rule is
founded does not apply to them. A one FOUNDER
can destroy submarine. The presumption
that such gun will be used only in defense must
rest entirely upon the will of the commander or
his instructions
The position taken by government
therefore is that German submarine approach
ing British, French or Italian merchantmen
which carries gun capable of destroying such
submarine shall challenge the merchantmen to
surrender and accept the hazard of destruction.
Furthermore, the presence of defensive arma-
ment on merchantmen was justified by facts,
now overwhelmingly the practice of pri-
watering and the existence of pirates. AS pir-
ates have disappeared from European waters and
privateering is no longer permissible under inter-
national law, no presumption of defense can at
tach to the presence of guns on merchantmen.
Enemy ships consist of only two kinds, COM
Blatant and non-combatant. If ship is non-
combatant it will not be equipped to combat. If
a ship is equipped with armament sufficient to
destroy an enemy warship, as in the case of a
merchantmen mounting six-nch, four-inch, or
one-pounder gum such merchantmen having no
use for such armament except against enemy

craft, it can not claim the character OF an .un-
armed" merchantmen, but should be held what in
fact it u.s. combatant ship.
The object of any armament on ship OF the
belligerents is one and one only, to use against
enemy warships-to be explicit, the submarine.
It is therefore an armed ship and the distinction
as to defensive and offensive armament. founded
on the practice of privateering and piracy and
having no application to use against enemy war
craft, is not involved.
This is the issue as between Great Britain
and Germany.
What is the issue between the United States
and Germany? It is whether the right Of citi-
zens to travel on unarmed merchant ships Of bel
ligerent nationality is right to travel on n1er-
chant ships of Great Britain armed in fact
against German submarines.
Or put in another way, the issue is: Does the
presence of Americans on British ship compel
German submarine to allow the British ship to
pass or by challenging it accept the hazard of
destruction?
If this were conceded Great Britain by
mounting guns on it's merchantmen and Ameri-
cans by travelling on them can insure such part
of the British merchant marine from otherwise
lawful operations by Germany against what are
in fact armed and therefore combatant enemy
craft.
The object of arming the allies merchant
craft is to protect them from capture or destruc-
ton by German or Austrian submarines. Such
destruction is of great Importance to the central
powers in their conduct of the war and legiti-
mate measure of sea warfare. British shipping
is conveying necessary supplies to the allies. The
;,,%o of ic IF nOt
vital, Importance to the central powers. If it is
to the interest of the United States to insure this
supply, the government should do so an ally
and not under the pretense Of defending neu-
trality.
The President asserted the right Of neutrals
to travel on "unarmed" merchantmen of the bel
ligerents. He asserted the duty of war craft to
challenge 'unarmed and unresisting" merchant
ships. Both these contentious have been accept
ed by the German government.
Yet we now assert that by virtue of rule
framed to meet facts not now involved merchant
ships armed in fact are not armed, and must be
accepted as unarmed by Germany because Amer
leans are travelling on them. The principle that
rules of international law must not be altered
during the course of the war begs the whole
question of whether the rule as to defensive
armament applies to merchantmen armed in fact
extensively against submarines.
If American honor is involved in this contro-
versy, it calls upon us to look the facts in the
face, to apply to them principles, not mere
formula and to adopt fearlessly the course which
justice dictates. -..-.~
If it is American sympathies or interests that
are involved, let not talk about honor and let
us consider sensibly and candidly what those in
terests are.-Chicago Tribune.

L. S. FLATLY REFUSES
LITSITANIA ARBITRATION

Washington. Feb. 1.-The United
States has completely shut off any
hope of a settlement of the Lusitanla
case with Germany through the ma
chinerv of international arbitration.
This fact, obtained tonight from an
official source, indicates the extent
10 which Secretary Lansing has gone
in his demand for an unconditional
disavowal by Germany.
The refusal to arbitrate, it was
learned, was based upon the ground
that. the vital interests and nation
al honor" of the United States being
involved the matter was one when
could not be submitted to arbitra-
ton.
4 1t was the second time such pro
posal has been turned down, and 1t
was srejected finally at the last con-
ference which the secretary Of state
had with Ambassador Berrstorff.
( Secretary Lansing, it is under
stood. held that the right of the
Americans to be en- board the Lusi-
tania could not be questioned, and
that their right to protection which
international law accords to neutrals
on the high seas was too firmly es-
tablished to admit of debate. That
this principle should be acknowledged
by Germany in any settlement Of the
Lusitania case, the secretary is said
to have insisted, was matter OF vi
tai interest to this country and that.
therefore, the United States could
not with self-respect submit to arbi-
tration.

Our business has increased to such
an extent since our establishment
here, January /, 1911" said frank r.
Carroll, Los Angeles manager of the
B. F. Goodrich Company, who recent
ly visited Charles Hersee, manager Of
the Imperial Valley Hardware Com
pany, the local distributors, that in
spite of frequent engagements We
have made to the branch we have
found it necessary. to secure larger
and more commodious quarters.
I'VE have leased the entire 8-story
building, including basement, at GAG
South Broadway. 1t viii hereafter
be known as the Goodrich building.
in the Goodrich building will be
housed all departments of our COM
pany in Los Angeles, including the
pneumatic tire department, the me-
chanical and speciality department and
our service department.
"The Los Angeles branch of the
Goodrich Company was first opened
at 406 West Pico street, and it was
thought at that time we had suffi-
cient room to accommodate our busi-
ness for some time to come. However,
during the first year Of our operation,
under my management, we increased
our business 135 per cent over the
previous years sales through job
bers.
"Soon after the Inauguration of our
fair list price, February !, 1915, our
business increased SO RAPIDLY and so
extensively that we found it abso-
lutely necessary to again increase oui
quarters, and we therefore took over
our old storeroOm at 406 West Pico
street and transferred our service de-
partment to that location, thus giving
US additional room in our store at
Eleventh and Olive streets.
"The rapid increase in our business
during the entire year, which has been
accentuated by the appliance Of our
famous black tread to all Goodrich
tires has made this last move neces-
/ sary.
"By having the various departments
in one building, where they can come
under my personal supervision, we
feel certain that the system we will
be able to install will work to the
great advantage Of all concerned"
