came to America before the war and
now have the means to support their
families here and have been unable
10 bring them over because the Rus.
sian government could not permit

Latest Note Says This Phase of Situa-
ton Was Not Mentioned in Negotia-
tons and Berlin Sees Mo Reason
for Delaying War on Such Vessels.
Washington, Feb 29-In a note pre-
sented to Secretary Lansing by Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, Germany assures the United
States that it has no intention of re-
voking the pledges given in the Lnsi-
tania case.
The note says Germany can conceive
of no reason for changing or postpon
ing the new instructions TO her subma
rine commanders TO treat as Warships
enemy merchant ships armed, de
fensively," and that special precau-
tions have been taken to prevent ships
that are not armed from being at
tackled
The note at the outset reiterates the
pledges of Sept and Oct. 5 last
year for the safety Of unresisting
liners and then says the German gov
ernment does not believe those assur-
ances have been modified by the new
memorandum.
Armed Ships Not Mentioned.
During the negotiations over the
Lusitania, IL says no mention was
made OF armed merchantmen, and that
the United States in one of its notes
on the Lusitania mentioned unarmed
merchantmen.
Attention then is called to the as
surances privately given in which 1T is
stated that liners would not be sunk
without warning provided they do not
offer resistance. Attention also is
called to the statement of the Ameri-
can government In it's notice to port
authorities that the presence of arma-
ment on board a merchant vessel
creates the presumption that the YES
| sci Is armed for offense.
| IL is stated that a submarine com
mander cannot be expected to warn
! an armed enemy merchantmen and the
| German government sets up the con
| tention that equipment and intention
to resist a warning given by subma-
rine does not come within the defini-
! tion OF defensive armament.
