WASHINGTON, March 10-Reports
that the state department was prepar
ing a white book Of Germany's plot
and intrigues in this country for pres
entation shortly either to the press or
to the senate were flatly denied by
Secretary Lansing today. He said
that no such step was in contempla-

served by it.
The consensus of opinion in diplo-
matte circles was that the action of
the U. S. in arming its ships would in
no way serve to change the policies Of
the European neutral nations.
At the same time, however. diplo-
matte representatives Of some OF these
nations seemed anxious to obtain all
information possible regarding the de-

submarine approach an armed Ameri-
can merchantmen.
It was explained by one diplomat
that details of the American plan
were desired for the information of
the neutrals.
