MERCHANT SHIPS
MAY CARRY ARMS
Position Taken by U. S. Under
International Law.
ALLIES WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS
Germany, However, Will Not Dis
regard Assurances Which Have
Been Given To the Amerl-
can Government.

Washington.-The United States, II
is SAID on high authority at the State
Department, comedies that the Entente
Allies are within their rights under
prevailing international law in armlng
merchant ships for defensive pur'
poses, no matter what conditions exist
on the seas. Consequently it is ad-
mitted that should the Allies decline
to adopt the American suggestion 10
disarm merchantmen, founded prl'
marily upon a desire to save the lives
of innocent non-combatants, this gov
ernment cannot announce it's approval
of the intentions of the TeutonIc pow
ers to torpedo without warning after
February 20, all armed vessels, al
though various high officials are con-
vinced that the position of Germany
and Austria is justified.
State Department officials now are
engaged in trying to determine just
what will happen when the command
eTs of German and Austrian sub
marines begin to put their new instruc-
tions into effect 1t is said, too, that
the United States in the near future,
may make some inquiries as to how
the Central Powers intend to deter
mine whether merchantmen encOun-
tered by their submarines are armed.
In response to inquiries regarding
this aspect II WAS said by high Teu-
tonic authority that the German and
Austrian governments would, under no
consideration. disregard the assur-
ances which have been given to the
United States in regard to the conduct
of submarine warfare. Attention was
called particularly to the fact that the
German government had assured the
United States that liners would not be
attacked without being warned. These
assurances, it was said, had not been
and would not be repudiated, and for
that reason liners in service between
the United States and Western Europe
would not be attacked without warn
ing, even if they have defensive arma-
ment aboard.
Teutonic officials were inclined to
believe that such an issue would not
arise as Great Britain has agreed that
it's ships entering American waters
shall not be armed. In both diplO-
matte and Official circles doubt even
was expressed that the new policy
would in the slightest way affect con-
ditions in the Atlantic, although it
was admitted that should the Italian
government persist in arming its mer-
chantmen difficulty might arise in the
Mediterranean.

him from the red robe of the Good

rose to address his vestrymen as soon
as the late-comers arrived.
