The state department still considered today Its attitude- toward the Teutonic decree announcing Its determination to make unwarned attacks on armed enemy merchant vessels after Febru ary 29. It was hinted, however, that a formal announcement of Its attitude may be unnecessary. The govern ment realUes that If It were to pro test against the Teuton plans a de licate situation with the central powers would result, Inasmuch as the department recently suggested that the allies voluntarily disarm mer chant ships. At the same time, acquiescence In the German viewpoint will result In a protest from the allies on the ground that a change In policy In tho midst of the war Is unwarranted and unneutral. Moreover, the allies undoubtedly would refrain from sending armed merchantmen to America, thus Tre ating at least a partial boycott. Asked today whether the United States would, protest tho unwarned sinking of an armed merchant ship carrying Americans, officials said to day the question is hypothetical. Americans, however, will probably be notified that they travel on armed belligerent ships at tholr own peril and this government may refuse to Issue passports tor such travel. CONGRESSMAN WOILH IGNOItE GEItMAN NOTICE Washington, Feb. 15. Senator Sterling of South Dakota Introduced & resolution today protesting against any recognition of Germany' notice that she will attack armed (merchant vessel without warning. The resolution declared that the "sonate view the German order with concern," and regard It an a "more serious menace to commerce, parti cularly that of America, than any act of the war." Recognition of the decree, It was said, would "be a stop backward and an abandonment of froedom of the setts, which would contravene the policy of the United States."
