Washington, July 1.-Official tn
ormation on which to base accurate
ludgniont of thc circumstances under
which the British steamer Armenian
vas destroyed with a less of American,
ives ls lacking tonight. 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. The only important fact
officially, received was Ambassador
Page's report that the Armenian waa
"engased .in admiralty business."
