ASKS BELLIGERENTS TO CONFORM
TO INTERNATIONAL LAW
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—It was an
nounced by Secretary Lansing today
that the government is making a seri
ous attempt to bring the European
belligerents to a proper understanding
of the rights of neutrals through the
medium of several communications
which have been addressed to the
combatants. Lansing states the United
States, in asking all European belli
gerents to make a general agreement
to square their submarine warfare with
the principles ot humanity and the
terms of International law, has taken
the position that under the changed
conditions of naval warfare, merchant
ships should carry no armament what
ever and has Insisted on this feature
to the extent of demanding that all the
warrln g powers must conform
thereto. Lansing says, that the pow
ers have been notified that unless they
subscribe to such principles armed
merchantmen will be denied entry nt
all American ports, except under the
same conditions as apply to warships
In no case will they be allowed to dis
charge or remain in port unless they
are Interned. In the belief of the cab
inet this will have the effect of dis
arming all merchant ships which carry
guns and will also make the present
excuse for submarine attacks on mer
chant ships untenable.
