No Warning Is Necessary Under Inter-
national Law Claims Berlin Stands
by Assurances Previously Given in the
Negotiations Over Lusitania Case

Washington, Feb. 28.-In note presented to Secre-
tary Lansing by Count Benstorff the German ambas
sador Germany has assured the United States that has
intention of revoking the pledges given in the Lus
tana case. The note says Germany conceive of no
for changing posponng the instructions to
submarine commanders to treat warships enemy
chant ships armed defensively and that special precau
tons have been taken to prevent ships that not armed
being attacked.
The German note at the outset reiterated it's previous
pledges for the safety of resistng liners and then goes
say that Germany does not believe those
have been modified by the memorandum. During the
Lusitana negotiations it says, mention made of
armed merchantmen and that the United States in one
note mentioned unamed merchantmen 1t stated a sub
marine commander cannot be expected to enemy
merchantmen which has right to fire the submarine
which warned it, Germany sets up the contention that
the equipment and intention to resist warning given by
submarine does not within the definition of defen-
sivc armament.
The United States efforts to have the beigerents
agree to modus vvendi causing all merchant
ships to be dsamed, it declared welcomed by Ger
many Then follows the declaration that Germany will
longer allow submarines to be made the object of at
sacks in violation of international law and that there
fore, the instructions will not be postponed or
modified

GERMANY Will NOT
CONFISCATE FOOD FOR
RELIEF OF POLAND

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The German
government within the next day or SO
will, through Count Won Bernstorff, in
form the United States that the Ger
man forces in Poland will not confis-
cate any articles of food or clothing
sent from this country for relief pur-
poses.
Many thousands OF persons in Po-
land have become destitute during the
military campaign there and the Ger
man embassy daily has been besieged
by residents of the United states hav-
ing relatives or friends in Poland or
being interested in relief work there
seeking to enlist the aid of German
officials to get food or clothing into
the affected area.
The attention Of the Berlin govern
ment Is said to have been brought to
the fact that the British government
would not permit goods for Poland
to pass, believing that they would ulti-
matcly fall into the hands of the Ger
man military authorities.

AMERICAN NAVY
IS BADLY IN NEED
OF ENLISTED men
Rear Admiral Knight, Pres
ident of Navy War Col
lege, Appears Before the
House Committee.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The navy is
not ready to exert more than so per
cent of its strength in guns and ships,
Rear Admiral Knight, president of the
navy war college, told the house naval
committee today. He urged an imme-
diate addition of $4,000 enlisted men
and the construction of battle cruisers
and scouting craft to meet the situa-
ton.
Admiral Knight said American bat
tleships were equal to any built and
the officers and men were well trained
and efficient, but II the Atlantic fleet
was ordered out to defend the whole
coast line 1t would be unable to
make all ships available for lack of
men and would be compelled to fight
blindfolded for lack of scouts.
Admiral Knight submitted a sketch
to show how an enemy fleet could
strike virtually where 1t pleased un-
less scouting craft was provided to find
it. The first step in the building pro-
gram this year, he said, should be the
OF six battle cruisers and
eight scouts, all with a speed of So
knots.
The shortage Of men, Admiral knight
testified. represented two-thlrds. of all
the trouble with the navy. If the COM
mittee supplied Immediately $4,000
men and provided ships it would go a
long way toward making the navy an
efficient force.

Winston Salem, n. c., Feb. 2s.-For

ASSURANCES GIVEN
BY GERMANY APPLY
TO UNARMED SHIPS

Washington. Feb. 2S.--Germany has
instructed Count Won Bernstorff to in
form the United States government
that the assurances regarding the
future conduct of submarine warfare,
given in the Lusitania and Arabic
cases, still are binding, but that they
apply only to merchantmen of a
peaceful character The German gov
ernment Is understood to contend that
Armed merchantmen, without regard
20 the nature of their armament have
shown themselves not to be peaceful
and therefore subject to destruction
without warning.
The instructions direct the German
ambassador particularly to tell Sec
retary Lansing that British merchant
men armed ostensibly only for defense
have not assumed the character Of
peaceful traders. but that. on the con-
trary, they carry guns for the espe-
cal purpose Of attacking German sub
marines. To support this claim, the
Berlin foreign office has sent the am
bassador, for presentation to the state
department, a list of at least 20 In
cidents where it is claimed British
merchant ships have attacked subma-
rines.
Orders Given Submarines.

been given their new orders and that
from midnight Tuesday they will be
authorized to sink without warning all
armed merchant ships OF the enemies
OF Germany. 1t was said also that
many OF the submarine commanders
probably had left their bases on voy-
ages and that even should the United
States request the postponing OF the
opening of the campaign. 1t would be
impossible to get word to many OF
Nle submarines. 1t was stated, how
ever that so far neither the United
states nor any other nation had asked
for postponement.
While Count Won Bernstorff and
other officials of the German en-
bassy declined to discuss the instruc-
tons from Berlin in any way. it is
believed the ambassador will present
them formally to Secretary Lansing
Monday
They will not. it was said, take the
form of a note unless the secretary
desires it. Count Won Bcrnstorff re-
ceived his instructions in reply to the
United States inquiry regarding the
Submarine warfare OF the future, oc-
casioned by the memorandum an
nouncing the intention OF Germany to
sink armed ships without warming
which the administration considered
to he inconsistent with the assurance
previously given.
England Gave Assurances.
Regardless of the form in which the
matter is presented to Secretary Lam
sing, the German ambassador will lay
much stress upon the assurances re-
garding the arming Of merchant ships
which were given to the United States
by Great Britain in a memorandum
signed by Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador, on Aug. rs. 1914.
In this the British ambassador wrote
the following
Il have been instructed at the same
time by his majestys principal sec
rotary Of state for foreign affairs to
give the United States the fullest as
surances that British merchant ves-
sells will never be used for purposes
of attack. that they are merely peace
full traders armed only for defense.
and that they will never fire unless
fired fired upon. and that they will
mover under any circumstances attack
any vessel
Germany claims that Great Britain
has deliberately violated these assur-
anccs and Secretary Lansing will be
SO informed.

tion also has been directed TO the
