WASHINGTON. Jan. %. - The
United States is confronted with a
serious condition growing out OF
both British and German imminent
aggression on the high seas. AS a re-
suit the entire problem OF when a
merchant vessel is armed for defense
and whether a submarine has the
right TO attack without warning
such a craft when its armament can
be used for offense as we'll as for
defense. has been reopened.
The new problem arises out Of the
announced intention Of the British
admiralty 20 arm its merchant YES
sells with guns forward as well as
aft. IN retaliation Germany has an
nounced that il will consider such
vessels auxiliary cruisers and sink
them without warning.
Secy Lansing admitted today that
he now is Investigating the entire
mater and that a new ruling by the
United States may be forced. This
ruling may be predicated on a report
asked for from Ambassador Gerard
on the status OF the steamer Yarrow-
dale, taken by a German commerce
raider. and now in the German port
OF Swinelunde.

HEAVY Loss FEARED.

LONDON. Jan. % - Fears were
expressed today that heavy loss OF
life attended the destruction of the
British auxiliary cruiser Laurentic
pedo. The Laurentic, a steamship
of 1882 tons. went to the bottom
on Thursday. Only II officers and
100 members of the crew were
saved, indicating that, if torpedo
ed, the vessel may have been at
tackled without warning.
The naval reserve crew Of the
Laurentic was said unofficially TO be
in the neighborhood of 800 men.
Her commander. Capt Reginald
Norton, was saved.
There are indications that a test
of sea strength between England
and Germany is pending
Admiralty il Active.
Following the allied naval council
in this city there has been unwonted
activity at the admiralty, pOrtending
a closer coordination between the
entente navies than at any time
since the war began.
Germany. almost without excep-
ton, has relied upon her submarine
fleet and it is estimated in some
quarters that the German admiralty
now has its disposal between 700 and
500 "U'' boats.
There is a strong disposition in
some quarters 10 believe that
through closer cooperation of the
English, French, Italian and Russian
navies the British high seas fleet
may be able 70 lure the German
grand fleet into the open sea for a
trial OF strength
But whether this constitutes part
Of the naval program is an un-
answered question.
