The start was made from the flying field of the Aero Club | of Illinois, and Carlstrom immediately Jaunched upon a route due east fol- lowing the right of way of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rail- | road.

They also were expecting affidavits and other data gathered from American survivors on which to determine Whether Germany’s pledges to the United States had been broken, A news despatch from Athens last right saying the Greek government | had been notified that Germany in- tended to sink without warning all ships carrying supplies to the allies was regarded here as of great impor- tance. So far as is known the United States received no such nmificnfifln.i and it is not known whether one has been sent to other neutra i Such a proceedure would be r sarded by the United States as di- rectly contrary to Germany's pledges. Armament Question, Secretary Lansing said today that the United States understands Ge rany’s pledges not to sink merchant- men without warning and without providing for the safety of passengers and crew applies to ships with de- fenslve armament. No distinction w drawn in the correspondence between armed and unarmed ships and the state department does not accept any contention that Germany's responsi- bility is limited to those without ermament. Nevertheless it is ad- mitted that Germany has always | taken a distinct view of the status of armed ships and it is thought probable | that she will attempt to inject the | reint into the present situation. So long as the policies of the two gove ments are utterly divergent it thought possible that Germany raight use the Marina se to settle the issue. Her increased submarine warfare, combined with the increas- ing number of armed allied ships and their increasing efficiency in defense, makes it a vital question to he Secretary Lansing, while refusing to give out any further details of the official report of the sinkings from the American embassy in London, said his information was substantially the same as that of the newspapers, 1 Test Germany and Austria on February 10 in substantially the same terms natified the United States to the fol- | lowing effect:. “Every merchantman | armed with guns no longer have the right to be considered as peaceable | merchant vessels of commerce. Therefore the German naval forc will recelve orders to treat such ves sels as belligerents.” However, in accepting this Ameri- can note on the Sussex, demanding | the abandonment of its submarine warfare against ‘passenger and freight carrying vessels,” “Germany | said such vessels shall not be sunk without warning and without pro- viding for the safetv of passengers and crews, “unless tho ships attempt to escape or offer resistance.
