Xx1AsHINGToN, Feb. 29.-Results

WAsH1NGToN' Feb 2s-Resul's
w of the new Austro- German
submarine campaign against armed
merchant ships of the entente allies
beginning at midnight are awaited by
the United States with grave con-
cern.
Although under their new instruc-
tions Teutonic naval commanders
are authorized to sink withoc. warn
ing all armed enemy merchantmen
they encounter, it is understood they
have been told to make sure If pos
sible that no American citizens are
aboard any ship attacked. Further
more, in the latest communication
regarding submarine warfare, Ger
many has assured the United States
that the new orders are so formu-
lated as to prevent the destruction
of enemy liners ''on account of their
armament unless such armament Is
proved"
The attitude Of the United States
government toward the new policy
of Germany and Austria has not
been definitely determined Pres
ident Wilson today discussed the
subject in a conference with Secre-
tary Lansing and then laid the Ger
man communication before his cab
met. Later it was said that because
the all-important appendices to the
German memorandum had been de-
layed in transit the state department
thus far was unable to determine
whether claims set forward by Ger
many and Austria in justification of
their course, were sustained.
Situation Serious.
Moreover, it has not yet been de-
cided whether the reiterated assur-
ances regarding future conduct of
submarine warfare contained in the
German note are OF character
broad enough to warrant acceptance
Of the German proposal to settle the
issues growing out of the sinking oil
the Lusitania. A decision in that
connection may be made within a
few days and the state department
tomorrow probably will take steps to
missing appendices. which were
started in the mails from Berlin
nearly three weeks ago.
Meanwhile If any American citizen
is injured during the attack by sub
marine on a merchant ship which
does not and has no intention of using
its armament otherwise than defen-
sively, grave situation will arise.
The United States stands at this
time. as it has always done, for the
right of American citizens to travel
with safety on defensively armed
ships. II the German contentious are
sustained, however, and ii is proved
conclusivelv that a ship upon which
an American may be injured, used
defensive armament for purposes of
offense. 1t is considered unlikely that
this government will take any action.
Ii never has contended that ships
committing attacks or other often
sive acts or under orders to so con-
duct themselves. are immune from
summary destruction.

London Anxious. Too.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-(9:14 p. MI
on the eve of the date set by Ger
many for the beginning of her new
submarine campaign against armed
merchant vessels, Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade, has issued a
statement giving the British view of
the status of such merchantmen. This
statement, which is in answer to
queries whether merchantmen have
been instructed 20 take the offensive
against submarines, says:
"The British view has always been
that defensively armed merchantmen
must not fire on submarines or any
other warships except in self defense.
The Germans have twisted a passage
in document taken from n trans
port which they sank into meaning
that merchant vessels have instruc-
tions to take the offensive. This is
not so.
The passage in question, which lays
down maximum beyond which mer-
chant ships are advised not to fire,
must be read in conjunction with an
other passage which makes it perfect
ly clear that merchant vessels must
not attack unless a submarine shows
unmistaEably hostile intentions"
The German memorandum dealing
with armed merchantmen received
from Berlin, February 10. contained
the following alleged instructions to
British merchantmen. aid to have
been taken from a British boat CAP
tured or sunk by the Germans:
"lf defensively armed vessel Is
pursued by a submarine the master
has two alternatives: (a) to open fire
at long range Immediately 1t becomes
certain the submarine really is in
pursuit: (b) to restrain fire until the
submarine has come into range. say
500 yards at which the fire is likely
to be effective. In view of the great
difficulty of distinguishing between a
friendly submarine at long range Gone
British submarine already has been
fired at by q merchant vessel which
enormously supposed itself pursued by
submarine). 1t is strongly recon-
mended that course 81 should be
adopted by all defensively armed
ShipS"
