LONDON, Jan. 29.-An extension Of
sea warfare with Germany because of
her threat to sink on sight all British
ships armed with three guns promises
TO bring new difficulties between bel
ligerents and neutrals, including the
United States. The correspondent Of
THE SUN learns from high diplomatic
authority that changes in the neutral
attitude toward protective armament
for merchantmen will be announced
in the near future.
Great Britain has taken drastic
steps, such as mining the North Sea
coasts and improving the defensive
armament of merchant ships. to coun-
teract the present dangerous subma-
rine campaign. The latter point, the
arming Of merchantmen. is thus far
shrouded in mystery, but the con-
troversy as to mounting guns both fore
and aft on merchantmen may be re-
| opened.
