Recalls British Order "Regarding the chnrncter of armed merchantmen according to interna tional law: The British Government has taken the stanpoint that such ships maintain the character of peace- iui iiiercuiruie vessels so long as they carry armament only for defensive purposes. Hie British AmJassador at Washington, accordingly gave the American Government in a communi cation dated Aug. 25 1914, most sweeping assurances that British mer chantmen were never armed for pur poses of offenso, only defense and that they therefore would never fire unless fired upon first. "The British Government, on the other hand, had in the case of nrmed ' ships under other flngs adopted the principle that they were to be treated f!as warships, and expressly ordered in I tho prize court rules published in an order in council, Aug, 5 1914, under No. 1, that a ship of war shall in clude an nrmed ship. "The German Government hasno doubt that merchantment acquire a belligerent character through arming with cannon, no mntter whether the guns shall serve only for defense or for attack. It considers every war like activity of 'enemy merchantmen as contrary to international law, al though it also takes into considera tion the opposing view through the lact tnat it treats tne crews of siirh 'ships not as pirates but as bellig erents. "Its standpoint is specific in detail in a memorandum communicated Oc tober, 1914, to the American Govern ment, and in content to other neutral powers, regarding the treatment of armed merchantmen in neutral har bors. "The neutml powers in part have adopted the British view and, accord inrly, have allowed armed merchant men of belligerent powers to remain in their harbors and roadsteds not restricted to the limits which they "jve imposed on warships bv their i neutrality declaration. Some, how ever, have adopted the opposite stand point and subjected merchantmen of the belligerents to the neutrality rules effective In the case of warships. "In the course of the war the arm ing of British merchantmen was car ried out more and more uenernllv. Take a Peep at the New Spring Styles Now on Display in our Ready-to-Wear Dep't.

Dr; Zimmermann said he thought the United States Govern ment's proposals were calculated to place this question on, a proper basis. A list of the crew of the Wood field, the German memorandum de clares, shows she carried a regularly enlisted and rated gun Captain and gun crew of the Royal Navy. The Admiralty instructions, as quoted, say: "The ratings embarked as a gun crew will sign tho ship's articles at the rate of pay communicated.

They are to keep watch at sea when the ship is anchored at any place where it is liable to attack by a submarine. They will not mess with the crew, but in one of the officers' messes.
