Germany's position more difficult. 1t
expresses the belief that the Ameri-

guns and gun crews, and a Y it does
not believe the danger to German sub.

the newspaper, that a victory over
England would be impossible unless

PRESIDENT FORMALLY NOTIFIES
REPRESENTATIVES, OF ALL
POWERS IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 1f.-Formal no
tice that American ships traversins
the German submarine zOne are tC
carry armed guards for the protec
ton Of the vessel and the lives of the
persons on board was sent by the
State Department to embassies and
legations of all foreign governments
in Washington. Following is the text
Of the communication, which was
made public by the State Depart
ment:
"In view of the announcement OF
the German government on Jan. 81,
1917, that all ships, those of neutrals
included, met within certain zones of
high eas would be sunk without any
precaution being taken for the safety
of the persons on board and without
the exercise of visit and search, the
government of the United States has
determined to place upon all Ameri-
can merchant vessels sailing through
the barred areas an armed guard for
the protection of the vessels and the
lives of the persons on board"
The Navy Departments position is
that it will equip with arms all ships
whose owners apply to it.
1t was learned at the State Depart
ment that the United States holds
that the presence of naval gunners on
American merchantmen will not
change the status of those ships, as
this country has never accepted the
assertion of Germany that naval men
on British merchantmen rendered
them auxiliary warships.
Guns and gunners will be placed on
munition ships as well as other boats
it was declared, and the naval men
will be responsible directly to the
government and not to the captains
of the ships to which they are as.
signed. Whether commissioned Off
GERS are used is entirely up to the
Navy Department, it is stated.
The position of the President and
the State Department now is that
Germany wishes to avoid armed
conflict with the United States, the
only way is to spare American ships.
