Liners, Arms and CcnyuyS

THERE is one obvious reason why steam
l ships of the American Line. now held in
port ~ New York. should not be overanxious
10 adop, the State Departments advice and
arm themselves against submarines. The
reason is that such armament would give the
Liners practically no protection.
The 81. Louis and the ST. Paul. if thew
should mount guns and proceed from New
York to the war zone. would carry with them
the assurance of this government. that their
rights are not affected by Germany's an
nounccmcnt of submarine ruthlessness. The
biz vessels would have to assume ,hey would
not he attacked without warning. and the
proximity of a I-boat would mean nothing
IN theory. that is-to their commanders.
After the submarine had discharged a tor
pedo or two. the liners armament would mean
nothing either.
II Is clear. on the other hand. that the
government should not make itself rcspon-
sible Tor the lives OF passengers and crews
by directing SailineS Of American Line steam
ships. The state Department has announced
that The ST. Louis and the ST. Paul have a
right to continue their voyages to British
ports, and that carries the assurance that if
the vessels are injured by German submarines
IN" United States will 60 to war. But the
voyage itself is for the decision of the com
pany and not Of the government.
Whether the vessels should he sent ont
uhueI coHNo! on American warShipS is an
o'her phase OF the problem which presents
us own difficulties. President Wilson is OBJ
serving with scrupulous care every provision
OF international law. He is determined that
war WIN Germany, if IL is to come. shall
not spring from a technicality. nor he occa-
stoned ny any act Of this government. To
SEND warships 10 convoy a merchant vessel
carrying a pound OF contra band would he an
act OF war, and whether the vessel carried
roltraband or not the consequences probably
void be war. II may ultimately become
necessary thai this course be followed. I'm,
there should be no unconsidcred. or i'll
