MAKES SITUATION OHAVE Has Notified Greece It Will Not Warn Vessels Carrying Entente Supplies. WsitNi".TO.v, Nov. 2. Germany's de fence for tho destruction of the British steamship Marina without warning nnd with the loss of six Amerlcnn lives may revert back to the German contention that armed merchantmen should be treated as warships. This defence was advanced by Germany nt the time of the Lusltanla disaster and Is one of the many points which ne er have leen satis factorily cleared up. The fear that the iplestlon may again be raised Is based on an unofficial despatch from Athens Mating that the Greek Government had been notified that Germany Intended to sink without warning all ships carrying supplies to the Kntentc Allies. Such a procedure would cause the gravest concern here. It would amount to a flat refusal on the part of Germany to be Influenced by the conception which the United States Government has. out lined on the status of armed merchant men under International law and would be regarded as a violation of Germany's pledge. Vital Question to Germany. The fact that the Marina carried a 1.7 Inch gun, presumably for defensive purposes, has brought the question pointedly to the fore, although Secretary Lansing said to-day that the United States understands Germany's pledge not to sink merchantmen without warn ing and without providing for the safety of passengers and crew applies to ships with defensive armament. No distinc tion was drawn In the correspondence between armed and unarmed ships, and the State Department does not accept any contention that Germany's respon- -ninny is nmiieu to tnosc without arma ment. It Is realized that Germany's In creased submarine warfare, combined with the Increasing number ot armed allied ships and their Increasing elli clency In defence, makea this a vital question lo her, nnd it Is regarded as practically certain that she will seek to Inject the armed merchantman contro versy Into the diplomatic correspondence concerning the Marina. Germany and Austrin on February 10, In substantially the same terms, notified the United States to the following effect : "Unetny merchantmen armed with guns no longer have the right to be con sldeied as peaceable merchant vessels of commerce. Theiefore the German naval forces will receive orders to tteat suih vessels as belligerents," l oilleillliill of I lilted Slnlrs, Sectetary Lansing rifu-nl to accept ibis view and notllled .d the belllgeieut governments of the attitude of the United states In a memorandum under date of March ''.i, saying: "it is nei es.i.iry for a belllgi tent war ship to determine the status of an .iinitd men Incut este of an enem encoun- teleil Oh tile lllgd s-e.l, ,sie "),,.
