Right Of Resistance.

Secretary Lansing takes the view that
a merchant ship has the right under
International aw TO defend herself in
the manner described ny this last para
graph. lie is understood to regard this
right as similar TO the right a man
would have in defending himself by
using n pistol before an enemy approach
Ing him viii an axe, had come close
enough 10 render the use OF his defensive
weapon impossible.
II was said to-day at the State he
partment that the above official order
might later he made public accompanied
by an official statement from the United
States Government concerning the status
OF armed British merchantmen on the
high seas.
Germany. IL IL explained. tried Ia
impress the United States Government
with the view that british merchant
men were armed for offence rs well as
for defence and were acting under Al.
miralty orders to seek out and destroy
German submarines. Germany also
claimed the captains OF armed British
merchant ships had no option but to
resist submarine attack.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that
the statement defining the attitude of
the United States on the status of armed
merchantmen had been despatched to
the various other Powers, He does not
regard the statement as indicating a
change of policy.
Mr.. Lansing mentioned that 1, had not
yet been communicated to Ambassador
Gerard or to the Berlin Foreign Offce.
The general opinion here is that the
statement forestalls any argument on
this point which Berlin may contem-
plate raising in the submarine nego-
tiations.

situation created by the raid OF a bandit
chief who had been beaten by his fell
low bandit chiefs when they quarrelled
among themselves. Immediate action at

1T was a declaration so serious
that mere severance of diplomatic
