NEWS OF RUPTURE REACHES TRENCHES “Tommy Atkins” Not Surprised by President’s Action, With the Armies in France, Feb. 4, via London, Feb. 5, Staff Correspond- ent of the Associated Press.—Only the briefest possible announcement of the between the United States *and Germany was made in the wire- less news being distributed to the British armies today and even this came late in the afternoon. It will be another day before the full import of the news percolates through the vast army organization and its effect is noted. President Wilson's action, it can be - definitely stated did not come as‘a surprise, but nevertheless therc was a feeling of relief that the tension was ended and that America was morally, if not physically, ranged against Ger- many. Officers exchanging messages over the network of the army tele- phones tonight helped to spread the news, and comments of satisfaction were generally heard. The army believes that other neu- trals will follow America’s lead and 2 break that Germany will soon find herself literally opposed to the entire world outside of her allies. The British offi- cers believe that the news of the breach with the United States will have a deletrious effect on German morale and that efforts may be made i by Berlin to prevent it reaching the ighting units. The opinion is held here that the American action will necessarily hasten the end of the war but the difficulties facing America in the event of her actually entering the war are fully recognized. Even if the United Stafes joins the ranks of the belligerents it is not expected that American troops would possibly be sent to Europe before the end of the war which is confidently expected to come this year. The psychological effect on Ger- many of being cut off from her last big friend among the nations is the prin- cipal consideration with the military observers who are convinced that this effect will be very great. While there is no thought that President Wilson's action can result in any immediate | military assiztance the news from Washington has been received in the British trenches as the best tidings that have reached the fighting line in a Jong time.

How carefully the German subma- rine commander avoided any act that might cause war between Germany and the United States is indicated b the following despatch from Plym- outh: “The thirty-seven members of the crew of the Housatonic have bheen landed at Penzance, on the southern Cornwall coast. A German submarine stopped the steamer Saturday noon and ordered the crew to abandon the ship. 'The crew took refuge in three boats, which the submarine towed for an hour and a half. The submarine then fired a signal to attract the at- terition of a British patrol boat. The submarine then submerged and -the patrol boat took the erew aboard and landed them at Penzance.” John G. Stevens, American consul at Plymouth, has wired the same ac- count of the sinking to Consul-Gen- eral Skinne:. He also sent the fol- lowing telegram: “Total crew of of Housatonic landed at Pemzance Salurday. Vessel torpedoed by a German submarine 12:30 Suaturday. Warned. Crew towed ninety minutes by submarine toward land.” b Whan the submarine hailed her the Housa‘onic was flying the American flag and had the American colors painted on her side, according to a dispatch to the Central News. The Germars gave the crew an hour in which to leave the ship. The submarine commander said. “I have orders to sink every vessel coming into England.” The German sailors searched the Housatonic and took a quantity of soap which they said was difficult to cbtain. The second mate of the Housatonic was second mate of the Americzn steamer Gulflight when that vessel was sunk by a German submarine off the Scilly Isles early in the war. 37 WASHINGTON QUIET Secretary Andrews Found People Very Ccalm Over International Crisis— Discusses Daylight Saving. Secretary A. H. Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce resumed his | duties at the local office today, after attending the annual meeting of the | National Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D. C. during the past week. He stated today that despite the spirit of unrest that s over the international crisis involving the United States and Germany, the peo- ple of the nation’s capital were very reserved and the seriousness of the situation does not seem to dawn on them. The farther north a traveler reaches, Mr. Andrews observed, the situation is being grasped more read- ily. The action of congress in acting | slowly is in accord with Mr. Andrews’ views of solving the situation, al- though he feared that some of the hotheads in that body would ask for drastic measures without first clearly sizing up the situation. Numerous matters of importance were transacted at the annual conven- tion, one that absorbed much atten- tion being the report of Robert Gar- land on the daylight saving plan, for which a committee has been inv gating for some time. The report was submitted to the board of directors who may decide on issuing referenda to the various chambers throughout the country for action. Owing to the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany entailing their time, Presi- dent Wilson, Secretary Baker and General Wood were forced to cancel the speaking engagements beforc the convention. The sub-committees in charge of | the annual dinner will meet this week. Although no definite date has been set, it is belleved that arrange- ments can be perfected to hold the event early in March.

'RUMPUS IN GAFE AS CHANGE COMES BACK Hamburger and Beer Come High on Railroad Arcade Because mild objections were made to a charge of fifty-five cents for a Saturday night luncheon of ham- burger steak with a bottle of beer on the side in Battagilo’s railroad ar- cade cafe, John Lawrence of 57 West street, employe of the cafe, was fined $7 without costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today. Jo- ceph Battagilo, proprietor of the cafe, was discharged from charges of assault on Michael Leyden, member of the city fire department and one of the cafe patrons. Attorney J. Glover appeared for the defense. liceman William Strolls, who called i#, testified that he saw an a sault on James Moore and that Law- rence struck him several times in the face. According to Moore and others objections to the the testimony of in the party, the charge were only mildly expressed. There was no re- fusal to pay. In fact, according to the testimony, gnuch of the expres- sion of opinion followed the receipt of ,charge from a one dollar bill Moore, Leyden and Walter Warner ! testified that fifty-five cents for a hamburger steak luncheon for one, even if there was a bottle of beer in cluded. was altogether to steep. They claimed that, although there was a verbal objection, the assault was un- j provoked. They denied allegations of | the accused that a threat was made to have the cafe closed within two weeks. The defense contended that conduct of cafe attaches was not un- provoked, that threats were made and that the price was not excessive as there had been two hamburger steaks ordered. Assault With Razor. Charged with assault upon Joseph Neskus of 9 Farmington avenue with a razor, Julius Drunzek of 35 Grove street was held for a hearing next Monday with bonds fixed at $300. It was reported that Neskus is at St. rancis hospital, Hartford, as a re- sult of the slashing with one of his eyes badly injured and a possibility that the sight will be destroved . In making the arrest Policeman Anthony ‘Walinczus strained a tendon in one of his legs and had to go off duty. He: was assisted in making the arrest by Policeman Patrick O'Mara. Mrs. Annie Ambrose of Glastonbury was given a chance for her freedom, if she would promise to remain in Glastonbury and not come to her daughter’s home in this city and cause trouble. She appeared obstinate and unwijlling to make the promise, so received thirty days in jail for in- toxication and breach of the peace. The arrest was made by Supernumer- ary Policeman Leo oFrtier on com- plaint. Alexander Belonizt of 151 Broad street asked the court to “‘excuse me,” when arraigned for ault upon his wife. It was the first time, he said, that he had beaten her, and a prom- ise was made of “never again.” Pro- bation Officer Edward C. Connolly will keep watch of him for the next three months. Mrs. Belonizi testified that neighbors told her that Belonizi was not working, and she did not intend to get his meals if he would not work. Thereupon he got exceedingly wrathy and served her with a few uppercuts and other pugilistic demonstrations. She showed several marks that she al- leged he was responsible for. Before the hearing ended, Belonizi, in the dock, and his wife, in the witness box, { were laughing heartily and seemed to think there is no such thing as dif- ferences and worry in the world. Carlo Lombardo of 471 Myrtle street, charged with assault upon Michael Bigdinglan of Willow street with a razor, was held for a hearing Wednesday because of the non ap- pearance of the complainant and other witnes He was represented by Attorney ‘A. A. Greenbeerg. Tt is al- leged that Lombardo knew the own- er of the Myrtle ‘street house and went {here late Saturday night for a drink of water, got into an argument with a number of the boarders and started to defend himself with a razor as his weapon. Before he had caused much damnge, it was testificd, he took to his heels and escaped the vengeance of his woul@-be assailants.
