DEMAND REFUSED
Lansing's Note Declines TO
Class Merchantmen as
WarShips.
OTHER NEUTRALS
HAVE ACQUIESCED
Spain, Sweden and Nor
way Have Barred Vessels
Like Deutschland.
Prom TIE Tribune Bureau J

Washington. Sept. Strongly dis
senting from the British view that
submarine merchant vessels like the
Deutschland are 20 be treated as war
ships, the State Department has mott
fed the Allied governments that il will
decide the status Of such craft accord
ing 20 the rules governing ordinary
merchant ships. Each case will be
decided. the Allies were told, on its
own merits.
The Allied governments. in note 20
all the neutral powers, recently main
tanned that because Of the practical
impossibility OF Distinguishing sub
marine merchantmen from wsrcrsft
and because such vessels were poten-
italy warships, they should be treated
by both belligerents and neutrals IN
der the rules applied TO vessels Of war.
II was pointed out also that the rules
Of visit and search could not safely be
applied 20 undersea boats, and this was
urged as an additional reason for de-
nying them a merchant status.
Secretary Lansing. after thorough
study OF the case. has decided that
this position is untenable. The State
Departments memorandum declares
that warships are distinguished by
their equipment for carrying on often
sive operations, and not by any special
power Of concealment. and that this
test only can be applied TO submarines
as 20 other craft by neutral govern
ments.
Diplomatic quarters here have been
advised that Spain, Sweden and Nor
way have taken an opposite stand, re-
fusing 20 permit the use Of their ports
by merchant submarines. as they are
"indistingu,s from submarine
wsrcraft.
The position taken BY the United
States refers only 20 the attitude OF
this government as neutral toward
belligerent submarines visiting its
ports. II IS not an attempt 70 define
the status which belligerents should
assign them.
The State Department has not com
mitted itself as 10 the action u would
take should a German merchant U-boal
be sunk without warning BY the Allies
II American citizens were on board
F there is little doubt that an immediate
Gsavowal would be demanded.
Inasmuch, however. as no Americans
are known 20 be travelling on such yes
sells, diplomats believe this government
could have no legal grounds for pro
test. American protests IN such case
would have 10 be based on a menace q
the safety Of American lives. II the
undersea traders carry no American!
there is no menace 70 Americans ~
sinking them.
