Massachusetts Senator Issues Warning Says United States Must Stick to International Laws. GERMAN DIPLOMATS PLAYING POLITICS Dr. Solf Has Ambitions to Succeed to Foreign Office After War Bernstorff is His Opponent. International New Sen !: WASHINGTON. Feb. Is. Dobian warning that the Fnited States may In- drawn into the war if it acquiesces in the German admiralty's newly announced submuine pd;e. wa.s deliverd on the senate üoi.r today by SVn. Lodgo of Massachusetts, ranking republican member of the foreign relations committee. Sen. lvodge urged the administration "to stand firm in its determination to uphold the principle f the right of merchantmen to arm for defensive purpose" The German admiralty's avowed intention to torpedo without warning armed enemy merchant vessel after Feb. 29, is "revolting to every instinet of humanity, to every principle of law and justice," Sea. Iodge dei la red. "I cannot believe that he administration thinks for a moment of altering the well de:im-d position which it took at the outset of the Luropean war, and I believe that It must stand as tirmly on this question as it has n the question of embargo," continued the Massachusetts senator. "Should it act otherwise, it would accept a humiliation, and incur a danger f war from which even the boldest and the most unscrupulous would shrink. and therefore such a course a.s has Wn discussed in tho newspapers seems to l.e wholly inconceivable." Ab andonment of the principle of the right of a merchantman to arm for defense- at this stage of the war also would be a distinctly unneutral act and would place the Fnited States clearly in the position of mi ally of Germany. Sen. I.dg declared. LONDON. Feb. v. ourt intrigue at Perlin has arisen to mak more serious the situation Utween tho Fnited States and Germany.
