vessels are reported to be capable Of

German Decision to Destroy Arm
ed Merchantmen Starts
Investigation.
REFUSE TO CONSENT
TO DISARM SUCH CRAFTS


Washington, Feb. 15.-The United
States, it was said by high authority
at the state department today, con-
cedes that the United Allies are with.
in their rights under prevailing ma
tional law in arming merchant ships
for defensive purposes, no matter
what condition exists on the seas.
Consequently, it is admitted that
should the Allies decline to adopt the
American suggestion to disarm mer-
chantmen, founded primarily upon a
desire to save the lives of innocent
non-combatants, this country cannot
announce it's approval of the conten-
ton OF the Teutonic to torpedo with
out warning after February 20 all
armed vessels, although very high Off
cials are convinced that the position
of Germany and Austria is justified.
Making Investigation.
State department officials now are
engaged in trying to determine just
what will happen when the command
ers OF German and Austrian submar-
ines begin to put their new instruc-
tions into effect. 1t is said, too, that
the United States in the near future
may make some inquiry as to how the
Central Powers intend to determine
whether merchantmen encountered
by their submarines are armed.
In response to Inquiries regarding
this aspect it was said tonight by
high Teutonic authority that the Ger
man and Austrian governments would
under no consideration disregard the
assurances given the United States
