WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-Ger-

entente allies as warships after

United States in regard to the dec

There were strong indications that va

The plan OF the United States has beer
to secure from Germany and Austria
pledges that no unarmed ships will b'

here that the Teutonic powers readily
would give such pledges. Officials die
not seem inclined to doubt that such
pledges would be given In good faith
and that together with assurances al
ready given, the lives Of non-eombatanti
on unarmed ships would be safe in the
future.
Prospects OF a warning TO American
citizens. to remain off vessels that ar,
armed loomed up large today. One bll
official expressed the belief that con.

action leading TO that end.
Officials OF the state department also
