LIX.—No. 36 In Details of Government’s Plan if Necessary to Pro- tect American Seamen and People NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO INDICATE OVERT ACT President Wilson is Determined That the Issue of War or Peace Must Rest With Germany—Any Hostile Action Will Have to Come in the Form of an Interference With American Rights—Fewer Than Any of the Previous Three Days, But There is Every Indication That Germany is Carrying Out Its Campaign of Ruthless Warfare on High Seas—Final Arrangements Have Been Made for Departure of Count Von Bernstorff. Ships Were Sunk Yesterday Washington, Feb. 9.—The course to be taken by the United States if Germany compels the use of force fo American lives and rights has determined. It was learned authoritatively after today's cabinct meeting that in the event President Wilson_goes before congress again it will not be to ask for a declaration of war, but to follow literally the words of the address in which he announced tie break of diplomatic relations, and request authority to use means deer- ed necessary to protect American sea- men and people. Americans Free to Travel The president, it was stated, is as anxious as ever that American citi- jens and ships shall be free to travel the high seas unmolested. His next p, if taken, will be to enforce that Fich."and oven then the issue of war or peace will be with Germany. Any hostile action will have to come in the form of an interference with Ameri- can rights. Details of the government's plans are not discussed. It is knows, how- ever, that convoying and armins of merchant ships are belng considered. No New Develepoments. No new developments came today to indicate that the overt act by Ger- many regarded as inevitable was near- er at hand. Fewer reports of ships sunk came in and none told officially of the loss of an American life. Furth- eor information received about George Washington, the negro fireman lost on the Tufino, indicated that he probably was a British subject. The. cabinet met today with all except Secretary just before the meeting, the majofity. of the members had attend- ed a session of the council for nation- @l defense, called at the war depart- ment to discuss mobilization of the nation’s resources as a result of mauny offers from manufacturing and other companies to place themselves at the gisposal of the government in the svent of trouble. Emergency Legislatiop Discussed. Virtually every member took to the eabinet information about the activi- fies of his department in connection with the general precautions being taken. Questions discussed included protecting pr%ynalrw all” prob o mall” probe ted, by the failure of ships Pursuing Policy of Ruthlessness.

For a time at least, it was suggested neutral vessels will venture into the barred zone with extreme caution, but high rates the Briitsh government is willing to_pay, it is declared, will rend them in later despite the hazard. So far nothing has come through to indi- cate how many vessels are getting through the blockade, but it is believ- ed here the number is relatively very large. WEEKLY NATION DISCUSSES OUR BREAK WITH GERMANY. Asserts That It is One of the Two Great Events of the War. London, ¥Feb. 9, 9.25 p. m.—The Weekly Nation devotes two leaders to American affairs and says that the ac- tion of the United States is one of the two great events. of the . war. the other being land’s full entry into continental affairs. e “With the entrance of America,” it says, “the balance sets definitely tow- ard democracy. Henceforward western democracy is safe and its ideas must permeate central and eastern Europe: While the entente may combine their resources and in time secure a popu lar victory, yet they all must come from warfare crippled and impoverish- ed. In this moral encounter America comes in with the necessary equipment for success. “Unless Germany’s assumption is that by June she will cut off the mari- time commerce of the world from these islands and thus sever the main ar- teries of the entente, then she must realize that she cannot win. She can not fight America’s brains and money and numbers and America’s organized industry, which stands out as the chief rival of the German cartel. “America’s action also offers a great reinforcement to the morale of the allies and at the same time the im- pact of American intervention must deeply color the views of the German people on the war. It also involves a tremendous transformation, as no longer will be there left in the world a single neutral great power. Not one of the remeining neutrals is powerful or secure enough to play an apprecia- -~ 18 PAGES—136 COLUMNS < .

The petition was also endorsed by the majority of the faculty Five Neutral Vessels Sunk VICTIMS OF GERMAN SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN ONE BRITISH STEAMER French Troops Have Carried Out a Successful Surprise Attack East of Rheims—Raids and Artillery Bom- bardments on Other Fronts. < Al Five neutral vessels and one British steamer have been added to the list of victims of the German submarine cam- paign, according to latest despatches from London. Foyr of the neutrals were of Norwegian registry and the other was the Spanish steamer Neuva Montana. The total tonnage lost. ac- cording to Friday's reports, was 10,424. The Norwegian vessels lost were the Hanskinck, Storskog, Ida and Odin. Sailors of both the Ida and the Odin were killed by shellfire. All but two seamen on the Storskeg were lost when the submarine, to which they had been taken, submerged suddenly on the ap- proach of a steamer and left them to seek safety in the water: The one British steamer sunk was the Hans Larsen, of 1,310 tons. Her captain and chief engincer were taken prisoner on board the submarine.

Stockholders THAT THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER IS NOT IMPENDING IS ON A SOUND BASIS Earnings of the Road Have Increased $1,400000 Over the Corresponding Period Last Year—President Elliott is to Have an Assistant. New York, Feb. 9.—A statement con- taining information intended to reas- sure small stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, based upon facts “obtained from one of the highest authorities” asso- ciated with the road's management, was issued here tonight by John Muir, chairman of the Railway Investor's League, in behalf of 250 memberg of the league wno own New Haven shares. “Réceivership Not Impending. The statement denies a report that a receivership is impending for the rail- road and brands as untrue rumors of rissatisfaction with President Howard PBlliott’s management and his possible resignation. Earnings of the railroad in the last’six months have increased 51,400,000 over the corresponding pe- riod last year, it was pointed out. Directors Satisfied With Elliott. “The directors are entirely satisfied with Mr. Elliott's management,” the ble part.” The Nation considers it unlikely that the United States, should that country declare war on 'Germany, would ad- here to the London pact, by which the entente countries agreed not to make a separate peace, and it is also unlike- Iy that she would adopt the Paris eco- nomic agreement among the allies. The Nation pays tribute to President Wilson as “the most far-sighted and strongest man who today leads a civ- ilized people and who will acquire in our common camp the weight to which he is entitied. He will now be bound by the same supreme interests which hold us all, and will assist in the vic- tory of the common cause.” STEAMER BALTIC THROUGH WAR ZONE.
