WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16.- The joint note of the German and Austrian governments to the state department that hereafter they will sat armed merchantmen as war ships and attack them without warn ing has presented one of the most se- ..ious diplomatic problems. which the state department has encountered since the beginning of the war and is causing the officials much concern.
 Secretary Lansing in a statement issued last night said that unless the Allies would accept the Teutonic de- cision in regard to treating armed merchantmen as warships that the United States under international law governing submarine warfare must side with the Allies in their conten- tion. The secretary of states an- aouncement is believed to mean that America has practically alligned her self with the Allies regarding subma- rine warfare against passenger sh'ps.
 The Teutonic governments, thru Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus trian embassy, entered a protest against the Italian liner Giuseppe Verde being permitted to leave New York with guns mounted on her

At the instant that a merchant ves- sel fires shot, however, she becomes warship and maintains that charac- ter until she comes to a stop and ceases. firing Once the merchant ves- -el capitulates the submarine must cease firing and observe the rules of international law allowing the pas sengers and crew sufficient time to reach a place of safety before the vessel Is destroyed.
 It is believed in official circles that President Wilson and Secretary Lan- sing will rely on the informal agree ment between the British and French governments, made during the ear Her months of the war, that mer- chant vessels should leave United States ports without armament. Sec retary Lansing, it Is reported, favor cd the denial of passports to Anleri- cans intending to take passage for Europe on any armed merchantmen, and has admitted that the govern ments whose flag the submarine flies while sinking an armed vessel cannot be held responsible for the loss of lives if the captain of the liner elects to fight when attacked.
