U. 8. NOTE TO POWERS DENIES
RIGHT TO ARM LINER8 FOR
DEFENSE.
GERMAN EDICT IS APPROVED
Americans May Be Warned Not to
Travel on Belligerent Ships Which
Carry Guno for Protection Against
Submarine Attacks.
Washington, Fob. 14. Tho declara
tlon by tho central powcra of their pur
poso after March 1 next to regard
armed morchant ships as warships
and sink thorn on sight Is In oxact ac
cordance with tho now policy of tho
United States as laid down by the
American noto of January 18.
It Is expected President Wilson nov;
will give Instructions to all port o(
flclals directing thorn to consldoi
armed merchantmen as auxiliary
cruisers and to apply to thom tilt
rulos undor which such vessels must
depart within twenty-four hours uftor
arrival or after necessary repairs aro
mado or storos taken on board.
It is expected further that warnings
will bo Issued directing Americans not
to travol on bolllgcrcnt armed mor-'
chant ships.
Tho noto, by dlroctlon of tho secre
tary of stato to Amorican ambassadors,
was addressed to tho European bel
ligerents In connection with tho recog
nition of submarines as commorco do
stroyers and tho desirability of tho dis
armament 6f belligerent merchantmen.
Its text In part Is no follows:
"It Is a matter of tho deepest In
terest to my govornraent to bring to
an end, If possiblo, tho dangors of lifo
which attend tho uso of submarines as
at present employed In destroying
enemy commorco on tho high seas,
since on any merchant vessel of bol
llgcrcnt nationality thoro may bo citi
zens of tho United States who havo
taken passage or members of tho crow
in tho oxorciso of their rccognlzod
rights as neutrals.
"Whilo I am fully allvo to tho ap
palling loss of lifo among noncorabat
ants, regardless of ago or sex, which
has resulted from tho present method
of destroying morchant vessels with
out removing tho persons on board to
places of Bafety and while I vlow that
practlco as coutrary to thoso humane
principles which should control bel
ligerents In tho conduct of Chclr naval
operations, I do not feel that a bol
llgerent should bo doprlved of tho
proper uso of submarines In tho in
vasion of commerce since thoso In
struments of war havo proved tholr
effectiveness In .this practical Dranch
of warfaro on tho high seas.
"Your government will understand
that In seeking a formula or rulo I ap
proach It of necessity from tho point
of view of a neutral, but I boliovo that
It will bo equally clllcaclous in pro
serving tho lives of noncombatants on
merchant vessels of belligerent nation
alities. "My commentB on this subjoct aro
predicated on tho following proposi
tions: "1. A noncombatant httB a right to
traverse tho high seas In a morchant
vessel cntltlod to fly a bolllgoront flag,
tb rely upon tho observance of tho
rules of international law and princi
ples of humanity, and If tho vessol is
approached by a naval vessol of an
other bolllgoront tho morchant vessol
of enemy nationality should not bo at
tacked without being ordored to stop.
"2. An onomy merchant vessel when
ordored to do bo by a bolllgoront sub
raarlno should immediately stop.
"3. Sueh vcbsoI should not ho at
tacked after being ordorod to stop un
less It attempts to floo or resist. In
caso It ceases to lloo or roslst. tho at
tack should bo discontinued.
"4. In tho ovont that It Ib Impossible
to placo a prlzo crow on board of an
onomy morchant vessol, or to convoy
It Into port, tho vessol may bo sunk,
provided tho crow and passongors
havo been removed to a placo of safo-
ty
"It would therefore appear to bo a
reasonable and roclprocally Just ar
rangomont If It could bp ngrood by tho
opposing bolllgcronts that submarines
should bo caused to adhoro strictly to
tho rulos of International law in tho
matter of Btopplng and searching mor
chant vessels, determining their bol
llgerent nationality and romavlni; tho
crows and passengers to places of
safety before sinking tho vessols as
prlzcB of war, and that morchant ves
sels of bolllgoront nationality should
bo prohibited from carrying any arma
ment wliatnoovcr.
"I should add that my government
Is Impressed with tho reaBonabloncss
of tho argument that a morchant ves
sel carrying an armamont of any sort
should bo hold to bo un auxiliary cruls
er and so treated by n noutral us woll
as by a belligerent government and Is
seriously considering Instructing its
oiriclalB accordingly."

LUSITANIA CASE ENDS

Decision to Accept Berlin Declaration
Made at Conference Held by
Wilson and Lansing.
Washington, Feb. 10. Tho contro
versy botwoon tho United States and
Germany over tho destruction of tho
British liner Lusltnnla with tho loss of
115 Amorican Uvea is settled.
Thus is passing into history an In

rence threatened to embroil tho United
States In tho groat world war and
which slnco has brought tho country
on sovoral occasions perilously close
to hostilities.
President Wilson and his cabinet re
garded tho settlement effected as fully
meeting tho original demands of tho
United States. Thoso domands were
set forth In a noto dated Mny 13 last,
immediately after tho Lusltnnla was
sont to tho bottom of tho Bea. They
wero:
1. Disavowal of tho act of tho sub
marine commander.
2. Reparation In tho form of an in
demnity. 3. Immediate steps to prevent tho
recurrence of such Incldonts.
Hero In effect Is what tho kaiser's
government Is roady to say and what
tho United Stntos has accoptcd In lieu
of a disavowal:
"Tho destruction of tho LuBltanla
was a retaliatory act and Germany Is
prepared to pay an indemnity for tho
Amorican lives lost."
Tho decision to accept tho Gorman
declaration was mado at n conferenco
on Tuesday botwoon tho prosldont and
Secrotary Lansing. Later tho cabinet
ratified tho decision.

lng. count von Hernstorff, German am
bassador, first dellvored tho notice to
tho stato department two days ago. It
was learned.
Baron Erich Zwledlnok. Austrian
chargo, has notified Secretary Lansing
that Austria concurred in Germany's
stand
March 1 was fixed for tho dato for
tho order to b.pcoino cffcctlvo to givo
tho cntonto allies tlmo to signify tholr
Intention toward tho recent note of
tho United States proposing tho dis
armament of nil merchantmen.
Tho United States recently proposod
to all tho belligerents thnt the devel
opment of submarine warfare had
mado It desirable for all to agreo that
merchant ships should bo absolutely
unarmed, dismounting oven tho small
caliber guns which thoy havo hereto
fore been Dormittcd to carry for do
fenso. Tho memorandum went forward by
mall about two weeks ago, and no
replies wero expected Insldo of bIx
woeks. Tho proposal was based on
the theory that no merchant ships of
tho Germanic powers and nono of tholr
commerco destroyers, except subma
rines, wero at sea.
Tho Appam case, however, which
disclosed n German merchant raider at
largo, changed tho situation material
ly, nnd tho status of tho American pro
posal is in doubt

partment, Assistant Secretary Peters
of tho treasury notified Collector Ma
lono at New York to permit tho Italian
steamer Stampalla to clear with guna
for defonso purposes only.
Berlin, Feb. 12. Tho government
contends the measure declaring armed
merchantmen warships is Justified by
explicit Instructions, issued by tho
British admiralty to merchantmen, a
copy of which Is said to havo been ob
tained by the Gorman authorities.
Theso instructions, it Is understood
hero, wero that tho merchantmen
should carry guns and attack subma
rines on sight
It Is also stated theso orders havo
