Neutrals Must Not
3, Board Belligerent
Merchant Vessels

BERLIN, Feb. 11.--tVla London. )-The
German governments decision 10 treat
armed merchantmen of hostile countries
as warships has been received with the
heartiest approval. The press of all par
ties expresses the belief that neutrals will
now be compelled to avoid all merchant
men of nations at war with Germany, and
also to treat such vessels when IN their
harbors as warships. granting them only
the usual right to limited stay for taxi
ing on coal. etc.
Captain /. Persius saya IN the Tagoblatt
that the copy of the British admiralty
instructions concerning operations against
submarines will open the eyes OF neutrals
In regard TO merchantmen armed FOR de-
Tense only" and that neutrals will treat
them as warships. The new procedure,
he says. will make the way easier for the
submarine. although there is still the
possibility that Germany's enemies win
fly false colors.
The Kreuze Zeitung asserts the memo
randum opens the way TO a settlement Of
the Lusitania case. and also aboliHhes the
possibility Of protecting hostile ships by
placing Americans on board. II refers TO
the flying OF false oolors and continues:
, America and other neutrals permit this
deceptive use OF their colors No matter
whether they cannot or will not stop Il,
they must bear the responsibility. II we
are TO treat all enemy merchantmen
which are armed as hellgerents. we can
not stop because a neutral flag Ia used
