NOTIFIED TO LEAVE GERMANY
 FOR SWITZERLAND

WASHINGTON, May 12. President Woodrow Wilson late today, according to high officials, notified American Ambassador James W. Ger ard, at Berlin, to notify all American citizens in Ger many to leave that country immediately and to go to Switzerland. In order to give Ambassador Gerard time to comply with the in structions, it has been decid- ed to delay transmitting the note with reference to the various American grievanc- es to Berlin.
 Many high officials in the government believe that dip lomatic relations between the United States and Ger many will be broken as soon as the American note shall have been delivered to the German government.
 There is greater activity in the State Department than has been shown for many months. Foreign dip .lomats are making numer- ous visits to make inquiries as to the relations between the United States and Ger many. The impression among them is that there will be a break between the two countries.
