Secretary Lansing said until the details are ivailable the position of the Unted states-Could not be determned. Af :er reading ?he nows dispatches, and i closer reading of official-reporta, however, officials were inclined td the view that the Armenian apparently refused to halt at the command of thc German submarine, and according tc International law the sinking of the kessel was justified, even though non combatants were on board. I There was little tension here after kt was learned the ArmenrAn tried Ito escape. It was admitted that ir official reports bore ou': press dis patches there was no likelihood that any new . cause of complaint would be added to the fasuea pending be tween the United States and Germany, I One Or two officials suggested that since Germany bad given warning she would torpedo enemy ships without warniug. mcrtfiantmen carrying con traband might be justified in attempt Lug to escape, since to bait would mean certain destruction with ho r s sarance ot an opportunity for the crow to escape.
