MENT, WHILE STUDENT
SAYS YOUNG MISS LAM
BERT COMMITTED SUICIDE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Diplo-
matte Representatives of the entente
allies have made oral representa-
tions to Secretary Lansing regarding
the American memorandum to their
governments suggesting the disarm-
ing of merchant ships and that arm
ed merchantmen entering American
ports might be regarded as warships
1t is believed Secretary Lansing
was informed that the entente gov.
ernments We're unwilling to adopt the
suggestion.
FormaG replies to the memoran.
dunn are expected. 1t is considered
doubtful that the exact position OF
the United States will be defined un.
til after they have been received
The texts of the notes from Ger.
many and Austria, which have been
handed to Ambassadors Gerard and
of those governments to treat armed
mernchant ships of the entente allies
as warships also are being awaited
SO far, it was said. the representa-
tinos of the entente representatives
had to do solely with the American
memorandum.
A high official today declared it
was not fair to say at this time that
the views of the United States on
armed merchant vessels were alb
solutely in accord with the views of
Germany and Austria. Officials will
make no decision until the official
texts have been received from Ber-
lin and Vienna. Until they arrive
state department officials will reserve
comment.
There are strong Indications, how
ever, that various high officials con-
slider the position of the central
powers well founded in view of the
changed conditions Of sea warfare.
