On every hand offictals are convinced that nothing less than a break in diplomatic relations is the ultimate development. It may be delayed but they all expect it to come unless there is some unexpected develop ment in the situation. The only note of dissent from the general opinion that Pre Wilson was preparing to meet Germany's new warfare with drastic action came from groups in the Capitol which have been urging peace moves upon the Administration. They professed to believe the Presi- dent’s first step would be a bold stroke for peace, and they professed 14 believe that every effort would be made to maintain relations with Germany rather than to break them. This view was wholly opposite from that ot officials who ought to know the Administration's dispo- sition, Several hundred telegrams bearing on the submarine question arrived at the White House during the day. Signed by individuals and organizations, many urged the President to maintain peace, counselled drastic action. There seemed to be no doubt that some communication had gone to Ambassador Gerard, probably warning him of the steps the United States felt compelled to take, and giving him an opportunity, however limited, to make some arrangements to alleviate the possible hardships | of Americans in Germany. termined upon The Government’s best information is that there are about 3,000 | REORGANIZATION OF THE BUSINESS | AM.
