The first lord of the admiralty declared in the house of commons on March 26, 1913 that the armament of the vessels ii question was only to protect them from dangers threatening them from hostile shibs converted into auxiliary cruisers, and to serve exclusively for defense. Used Guns Against Ships. “Experiences gained in the present war show that a considerable number of British merchantmen used the guns nstalled aboard against hostile war- | ships, and not solely with the inten- | tion to ape legitimate exercise of | ihe prize right but b lo attack and | destroy enemy warships. “As is evident from the memoran- dum which the imperial German gov- ernment today communicated to neu- states, instructions have been found aboard British steamers which prove t the British government it- self incited its merchantmen to illegal acts, and this in complete contradic- tion to assurances which it communi- rated to the slate department at Washington. Tts allies, particularly France and Italy, followed the examn- ple of Great Britain during the coursoe of hostilities.” Lose Non-combatant Status. “Without wishing to enter into an examination of the surprising claim advanced by the British government, according to which liners armed hy that government retain their inoffen- ive character while merchantmen armed by the enemy are regardable by the British naval forces as auxiliary cruisers, the Austro-Hungarian gov- ernment limits itself to establishing that every merchantman provided, Yor any purpose whatever ,with can- non losses through this fact alone the character of a non-combatant ship. “Under these circulnsts es the or- der has been given to the Austro- Hungarian naval forces to treat such ships as combatants—an order which, however, will be in force from Febru- ary 29, 1916.” This delay is granted in the interests of neutral powers, in order that they may be placed in a position to warn their nationals of the canger to which they will expose themselves, if they entrust their per- sons or property to armed merchant- men of states at war with Austria- Hungary. and also to notify those of thei nationals who already aboard ships of the above mentioned character. “The ministry of foreign affairs has the honor to request the emba: (or legation) to bring the above telegra- phically to the attention of its gov- ernmen.” SCHOOL BOARD IS WRESTLING WITH $ may he Annual Estimates Being Prepared To- day—Three Transfers Made in the Teaching Corps.
