LANSING CABLES
FOR GERMAN PROOF
Wants to Know What Ship Docu-
mentS Are On

washington, Mar 1-Secretarv
Lansing today cabled an inquiry to
Am bassador Gerard at Berlin asking
by what ship the appendices to the
German memorandum notifying this
government that armed vessels would
be sunk without warning beginning
March L had been despatched and
when they might be expected to ar
rive here.
The appendices are said to reveal
the existence of secret orders of the
British admiralty instructing British
merchantmen to conduct an offensive
warfare on enemy submarines and are
of utmost Importance to the state de-
partment in deciding it's policy on the
question of armed merchantmen as
raised by the German decree.
Germany's latest assurances on the
conduct of submarine warfare, pre-
sented Monday by Count Won Berns-
torff to Secretary Lansing, are not so
broad as the United States desires, but
it is indicated no further steps will be
taken by this government until the
administration is certain it's action
will not be embarrassed in congress.
Assurances Not SO Complete.
The assurances reiterated in the lat
\ est dTe Regarded as
| not so complete as those originally
| given as the result of the Lusitania
! negotiations, and it was indicated to-
| day that the pending Lusitania agree
| ment would not be finally accepted as
| satisfactory at this time.
| Officials were represented as feeling
! that If the German government took
| the position that it could modify or
| change the first assurances at will,
| there was nothing to prevent an at
| tempt to change the latest assurances,
and they do not intend to agree with
such procedure
| It was said that the next step would
! be taken as soon as the situation in
| congress was clarified. Officials ex-
! pect the administration will find itself
| in a position to continue the negotia-
| tons within the next few days.
| House leaders today drafted for con-
| sideration of the house measure pro-
| posing that congress express its con-
| fidence in the presidents handling of
| the armed merchantmen controversy
| and recognize that it is not a matter
| of legislative but of executive concern.
