WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. pa
showdown between the United States
and belligerent nations over armed
merchant ships long unsettled and the
buRbear m the difficulties with Ger
many, appeared inevitable today fol-
lowing receipt Of unofficial reports that
England shortly will arm all merchant
ships fore and aft
While the same secrecy that has
marked all international moves held to-
day, some officials privately admitted
the following questions are highly
pertinent 70 the latest developments:
Shall all Entente merchantmen be
denied entrance to or exit from
United States portsl
Shall Americans he warned on
such ships9
Shall Germany's hand in submarine
warfare be freed. in effect, from the
binding pledges given this country,
regarding submarine cruiser war.
farel
One thing seemed certain today.
namely, that this government will
instruct ambassadors in Entente
capitals to rush all data on the arm
ed ship question to the State Depar-
ment. The situation was made dell
cate and pregnant with possibilities
today when German officials here de-
clared certainly a gun In a merchant
mans bow constituted offensive
arament. and therefore makes such a
ship legitimate object of unwarned
attacks
Secretary lansing has ruled that
extensively armed ships are not Inn
mune from such attack. He has ruled
that even a three-inch gun in the
stern does not constitute offensive
armament unless it is shown TO have
been used extensively. He has also
declared this government while
Judging each specific case on its own
merits. would be inclined generally
TO belief that a gun in a ships bow
might be called offensive armament.
THAT the matter is one presenting
great difficulties is frankly admitted.
Among the many questions involved
,s that Of a change in the nature Of
a ships armament before and after
Il leaves an American port.
John Bassett Moores international
trsatises. which generally have been q
bssis Of international rulings, declare
transforming of ship at sea from a
1reaceful merchantmen to ship Of
fensively armed is not legal This
question has arisen in the matter OF
kiSes asaptlhed by the German sea
raider in South Atlantic waters, and
said to have been transformed into
other raiders at sea. While this
government has made no ruling In the
sea cases. Secretary Lansing has ex
planned this government does moi
countenance such transformations as
legal.
II Is admittedly a question yet &c
he decided. whether this government
would refuse port privileges to belli
gerent merchant ships that add to their
armament before and after leaving
American ports.
