UNITED STATES
AND GERMANY
Issue Clearly Drawn and
Kaiser Must Now Make
Next Move
MEETING OF CABINET
Not Believed American Ships Will
Be Destroyed and Clash With
This Country Precipitated.

Washington, Feb. 19--The issue
, between the United States and Ger
many on the war zone declaration is
now clearly drawn, and the next move
is Germany'S.
The attitude is unchanged, but if
any American vessels are sent to the
bottom Of the sea the United States
will be drawn squarcly into the Eu-
.opean conflict.
This is the prevailing temper Of
mind in Washington today. Most OF
ticals refuse to believe that Germany
will be foolhardy enough to allow
any American ships to be torpedocd,
with it's trail of consequences likely
to be disastrous. to all Gelmany's
/: hops Of winning the war.
Administration officials, however,
see not the slightest concessions made
TO the United States in the German
reply to the American protest, and,
in fact, believe that it makes the
warning ever stronger for all neutral
vessls to keep out Of British waters.
The most important cabinet meet
ing in many months was held today
in President Wilson's library, and
the cleancut issue between the United
States and Germany over the war
zone declaration was practically the
! sole topic of discussion. The Ger
man reply to the American pretes'
was dissected. and it is understood,
the course of action and policy for
the United States in the event that
submarines sink an American steam
ship was tentatively mapped out.
Reports are said to be reaching The
State Department showing the rea-
son for Germany's recent measures
of retaliation on Great Britain. 1t is
stated that American consu!s are
sending in reports of a shortage OF
food in both Austria and Germany
and that the situation is extremely
bad in Austria.
