OF the next democratic platform to
the suggestion that they desired to
have the government armor plate and

PIRACY Plan
CHARGED TO
TEUTONS
Senator Lodge Tells Senate
His Idea Of the German
and Austrian Scheme Of
Attack On Merchant Ships

Washington, Feb. 1S.--Austria and
Germany were charged by Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts today with
proposing piracy in their plans to
attack armed merchant vessels with
out warning.
Discussing the Sterling resolution
against recognition of their plans,
Lodge said II is inconceivable that
the United States would accept the
ITeutonic decree He cited precedents
| to show that arming Of merchant
ships for defense had been allowed
since the days Of the Barbary pirates
He recalled that America had ap-
proved such armament during the
present war, and declared that any
change from this position now would
be an unneutral act.
"The abandonment Of the right Of
merchantmen to arm themselves or
| the right of Americans to travel or
ship their goods on them" said
Lodge, could rest only on the
ground that the centuries-old right
Iof neutrals must be cast aside 80 that
a new instrument of maritime de-
struction should not be impeded In
Its work Of death and murder. Such
a doctrine Is revolving to every in
stinct of humanity and to every prin-
Iciple OF law and Justice"
He said abandonment OF the pre-
isent system would be o warlike step
against the allies which at the same
time would make the United States
Germany's ally.
Senator Sterling. who introduced
the resolution several days ago. fol-
lowed Lodge.
Denouncing the Teuton decree as
reversion to the ideas Of the Dark
Ages and as creating situation
which constitutes "our gravest inter
national crisis" Sterling declared:
LET another sea horror occur in
which Americans are involved and
the administration and the world will
know that there Is a real America,
not supine. not apathetic and hesi-
tating. but strong and militant"
Referring to the Lusitania case.
Sterling said that the administration
sat first appeared bold and uncom-
promising in behalf of great prin-
ciple, but in the end yielded the sub
stance for the word.
'The vice In the state departments
suggestion that the allies disarm
merchant vessels" said Sterling, ''lies
In the idea that because the deadly
submarine is not strong ON defense
itself, we must make merchant ships
helpless against t." s44s ssss
Sterling urged issuance of q very
strong protest to Germany against
her new plans. #
Following Lodge and Sterling,
Senator Thomas read into the record
recent reports that the administration
intends no approval of the decree. as
the two previous speakers suggested.
He charged that the republican at
tacks were for political effect and
were not based on facts nor upon q
sincere desire to better the diplomatic
relations OF the nation. Easss ie
