Washington, April 26.-Interna-
tional questions facing the United
States were discussed tonight by
President Wilson and Senator Stone,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee. The conference touched
on Mexico and Japan's protest to the
immigration bill, but dealt mainly
with the submarine issue.
The president told Senator Stone
that the future course of the United
States depended entirely upon the
German reply to the American note
demanding the immediate abandon
ment of Germany's present methods
of submarine warfare.
Senator Stone will lay the results
of the conference before the foreign
relations committee.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff has
sent to his foreign Office suggestions
which he believes will help to avoid
break between the two nations.

DeStr Oyers and
Monitor Depart

The submarine flotilIa, consisting
Of the XII, K-2, KS, and K-6, ac-
conapanied by the mother ship, Tai
Iahassee, left the navy yard at noon
yesterday and proceeded to Key
West.
Two hours later the torpedo boat
destroyers, Worden and McDonough
left and followed the flotilla to Key
West.
At five o'clock, three hours after
the departure Of the destroyers, the
cruiser Columbia weighed anchor
and departed for the same city.
The difference in time of the
hours Of departure Is gauged by the
speed of the vessels, as it is desired
that all enter the harbor at Key
West at about the same time, also
to insure them against being too
greatly separated at sea, particular
ly the submarines. as much difficult
ty is experienced in locating them.

ONLY RESISTING
SHIPS TO BE SUNK
BIZ Associated PRESS.

Washington, April 26.-The official
declaration of the United States to-
ward armed merchant ships was made
public today by Secretary Lansing,
and reiterates the purpose of the
American government to recognize
the right of merchantmen to carry
arms for defense. The declaration
also sets forth the conditions under
which the United States holds subma-
rines may attack merchant craft.
The right of an armed merchant
man, without losing its peaceful
character, to protect itself, either by
flight or by resistance is insisted
upon. Again, while an attacking shir
may use force against a resisting
merchant ship, the attack must cease
as soon as the merchantman's resist
ance stops. Only when it is impos
sible to take a captured enemy mer
chairman to port may it be sunk, and
in such cases the persons aboard mus
be taken to a place of safety.
The right to sink neutral merchant
men is declared doubtful in any case
It contradricts Germany's contention
that merchantmen must wait to b,
fired upon before it is actually at
tackled.

lions for General Scott as to his con-
ference with General ohregon were
drafted today by Secretary Baker
after q conference with the president
and Secretary Lansing. Obregon Is
