ARMAMENT OF MERCHANT
SHIPS

1t seems probable that the discus
sion of the question of armed merch-
ant ships viii center upon the distinc-
ton between offensive and defensive
armament upon such ships. If, as
Germany asserts, British merchant
men, while armed ostensibly for de-
Tense, carry guns for the special pur-
of attacking submarines, the kaiser's
government is undoubtedly correct in
its contention that this is a violation
of international law. The United
States bases its position specifically
upon defensive armament, and it has
never held, either during this war or
at any time previously, that merch-
ant ship was privileged to attack. In
its circular of September 10, 1914, the
State Department ruled that "a mer-
chant vessel of belligerent nationality
may carry an armament and ammuni
ton for the sole purpose Of defense
without acquiring the character Of q
ship of war;" and it directs that port
officials to examine each ship leaving
harbor of the United States for evil
dences of armament Of an offensive
character, defining the defensive limi-
tations with minute detail. If, there
fore, the Germans should sink Brit
ish merchant ship carrying American
passengers and could prove that it
was Extensively armed, the United
States would have no fecourse.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

by the men who build and run them.
