that the Commission ReGuladora del

OFFICIAL NOTICE
All Governments Are Told That
Our Merchant Ships Will
Be Armed.
NO OTHER INFORMATION.
Preparations for Any Evcntuaiity Go
To Avoid Actual Clash.

Washington, March The United States
government to-day took the only formal
step that will precede the sailing for the
war zone of American merchant ships
armed to resist attacks by German SUBJ
IL arines.
Notice to the world of the intention to
place an armed guard on merchantmen
was given in communication sent by
the state department TO all embassies and
legations in Washington. The statement.
which it is assumed will be transmitted
to Germany by the Swiss minister. fol-
lows:
In view of the announcement OF the
imperial German government on January
81. 1917. that all ships. those OF neutrals
included. met within certain zones OF the
high seas would be sunk without any
precaution being taken for the safety OF
the persons on board and without tho
exercise of visit and search. the govern
ment of the United States has determined
to place upon all American merchant ves-
sells sailing through the barred areas an
armed guard for the protection OF the
vessels and the lives of the persons on
board"
Officials continued to be reticent to-day
about the arming Of ships and the proba-
BILE date the first would be ready to sail.
All such details are regarded as military
secrets. In fact, there is general dispo-
sition to avoid discussing any phase OF the
situation pending the outcome OF the def
ance of the submarine menace by Amer
lean vessels with naval guns and gunners
! on board.
Speculation continues as to the part tbs
United States may play II forced into
actual hostilities by Germany. In officia
Quarters the opinion is very clear thai
President Wilson for the present at leas
is contemplating no more direct connec
ton with the European war than is nee
essary to protect American rights on thu
main seas. Preparations for any event
uality are going forward. but the Presi
dent is known still to cling to the hop
that there will he no actual clash between
Americas armed merchantmen and Ger
man submarines.
