INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMAN-
DERS WHICH GERMANY
CLAIMS VIOLATE LAW.
GERMANY SAYS VESSELS
ARMED FOR OFFENSIVE
Request Made Through English Am
bassador is First Step Taken Since
Teutons Announced Intention to
Treat as Warships Armed Mer-
chantmen of Entente Allies.

Washington, March 1.-THE United
States has asked Great Britain for a
copy of the confidential instructions to
commanders of British merchant YES
sells, which Germany claims proves
that merchantmen armed oStensibly
for defensive purposes have orders to
act extensively against German and
Austrian submarines.
The request is understood to have
been made through Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador. This is
the first step the United States has
taken since administration officials be-
gan studying the complete memoran-
dunn, in which Germany announced its
intention to treat as warships armed
merchantmen of the Entente Allies, its
appendices and the subsequent men,
oranda on the subject submitted by
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador.
To Give Britain Chance.
There were limitations that the
British government later would be Civ
en- an opportunity to answer the Ger
man charges, and to comment upon
20 incidents where Germany claims
defensively armed ships have acted
toward submarines of the
Central Powers.
Early in the day the British en-
bassy made public a statement chal-
longing every statement in Count Won
Bernstorff's memorandum, and setting
forth that while Germany contends
her submarine warfare is in retaliation
for British violations of international
law. many of the German acts were
before the first order in
council complained of was issued.
Copy of Instructions Published.
The British overnment already has
given out for publication copy of in
structions said to have been issued to
the commanders of British merchant |
men. The state department has no |
official knowledge of the British ver-
siont

Mexico would necessitate using some
troops rot now there for the punitive
expedition. They probably will be or
dered from other posts. No plans
have been made so far as is known
for use of the national guard.
Pains were taken by officials to
point out their hope that General Car
rama would realize the spirit in which
the American troops were being sent
after Villa
To Notify Carranza.
Carranza will be notified immediate
ly that the United States has no in
tention of taking any Mexican terri
tory whatever and respects fully the
sovereignty of that nation.
American officials realize that Car
rama may have difficulty in consent
ing to the presence of American sol
diers on Mexican soil because of pop
ular feeling in his country. Carranza
himself however, is believed to be
eager for Villas capture that he may
cooperate with the American troops.
At the cabinet meeting the discus
sion of the situation was brief and to
