HARMONY WITH DEFENCE

WASHINGTON. April 27.-Secretary
Lansing announced to-day that ne had re-
ccired a copy " the British Admiralty
orders containing instructions governing
tho actions of British armed merchant
men on the high seas. The orders have
an important bearing ON h attitude
of the United States. for the reason that
the state department defined yesterday
what it considered as pcaccable and also
~arlikc merchant craft.
Secretary Lansing takes the view that
an armed merchantmen remains a peace
able ship so long as her captain has the
discretion Of resisting or surrendcrinS
to an enemy warship. but II the captain
mas mandatory orders from hts Govern
men, to rests, capture under all circum-
stances his ship is regarded by the
United states as having "A warlike char
actcr.
The British Admiralty orders. which
secretary Lansing officially asked Great
britain to communicate. show conclu-
sively that the merchant captain may use
his discretion and surrender or resist.
The orders are in reality instructions
Tor the guidance OF captains who elect
to resist.
