SUBMARINES GET ORDERS
Germany Has Notified Underwater
Boats to Sink Armed Ships With
out Warning Beginning Feb. 70.

Washington-Germany has instruct.
ed Count Won Bernstorff to inform the
United States government that the as
surances 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 peaceful character.
The German government is understood
to contend that armed merchantmen
have, without regard to the nature Of
their armament, shown themselves not
to be peaceful, and therefore are sub
ject to destruction without warning.
The instructions direct the Ger
man ambassador particularly to tell
Secretary Lansing that British mer.
chantmen armed ostensibly only for
defense carry guns for the special pur-
pose Of attacking German submarines.
To support this claim the Berlin for
eign office has sent the ambassador
for presentation to the state depart
ment a list OF at least 20 incidents
WHERE II n ciaimsd British merchant
ships have attacked submarines.
Confidential advices from Berlin
state that German and Austrian sub.
marine commanders have received
their new orders and that from mid
night, Tuesday. Feb. 20, they are au-
thorized to sink without warning all
armed merchant ships Of Germans en-.
emies. 1t was said also that many OF
the submarines probably had left their
bases on cruises, and that even should
the United States request the postpon-
ing of the opening of the campaign
it would be impossible to get word to
many of the submersibles. Count Won
Bernstorff declined to discuss the In
structions from Berlin in any way.
