EFFECT UPON OTHER NEUrRALs.

EFFECT UPON OTHER NEUTRALs.
The effect OF Americas action upon
other neutral nations will be awaited
with keen interest. Vessels Of those coun
tries. too. have been heading to port
through terror of the German menace
The throttling Of neutral shipping both
British and German experts have stated
TO be the most serious result of the Ger
man campaign to date and to have ex-
ceedcd in effects the actual amount Of
tonnage destroyed. Several German au-
thorities have indicated that so long as
they could terrorize neutral vessels and
continue their attrition on British ship
ping, the eventual starvation of England
was certain.
ARMED NEUTRALITY DEFINED.
Armed neutrality will be the status of
the United States the moment that the
first ship under the American flag puts
to sea with cannon mounted for defense.
President Wilson made this clear In his
address to Congress February 2S. when he
asked specific authority to arm merchant
ships for defense against submarines-the
step he ordered to-day upon his own ~
| sponsibility.
Writers on international law have held
that armed neutrality consists In placing
the country in a position to defend itself
and it's neutrality against threatened at
lacks or inroads by belligerents. This
state OF preparedness may last an indefi'
mite length OF time, through good fortune
| in avoiding contact with belligerent forces
afoat or ashore or through the design OF
the belligerent to confine its declaration
OF purpose to infringe the neutrality OF 8
country to mere threats unsupported b,
action.
STATUS MAY SUDDENLY CHANGE
On the other hand, the status Of armed
neutrality may change into one of actua
hostility through collision-such as
submarine attack on an armed merchant
man.
President Wilson has said that II ma
not be necessary to put armed force
anywhere into action. All will depen
upon the future attitude of Germany an
the treatment of American ships by Ger
man submarine commanders.
In his address to Congress the Pres
, dent said:
II am not now proposing or cor
, templating war or any steps that lea
} to it. ] merely request that you will az
cord me by your own vote and detinii
