AMERICAN NATION
FACES A CRISIS
PRESIDENT WILSON CONSIDERS
TAKING ACTION ON SINKING
OF LUSITANIA.
MAY BREAK OFF RELATIONS
Severing of Diplomatic Intercourse
With Germany Possible Result
of Disaster That Cost 100
American Lives.

Washington, ID. c., May 10.-While
il is still an undetermined question
what action the United States govern
ment will take as the result or the
sinking of the liner Lusitania by
German submarine, it became known
Sunday night that President Wilson
is considering not only the last and
greatest disaster caused by the war,
but also previous incidents affecting
the United States.
These are the sinking of the Amer
lean steamer Frye, the attack on the
liner Falaba which caused the drown
ing Of an American citizen, Leon C..
Thresher, the wrecking without warn
ing of the American tankship Gulf
light, the dropping of bombs on the
American steamer Cushing, and final
" the sinking of the Lusitania.
The president wants to be certain
whether these incidents range them
selves in order to cause a grave eli
max of a carefully planned policy OF
hostility to the United States or
whether the sequence is casual and
the German government desires to
continue friendly relations with the
Washington government.
May Break Off Relations.
The possibility Of the breaking off
of diplomatic relations with Germany
was much discussed in official circles
today and was regarded as the most
likely course of action in the event
that the president decided drastic
measures were necessary.
The breaking off Of diplomatic re-
lations. officials say, would not neces-
sarily mean war. 1t has been done
| before. many times in the history of
diplomacy, without war. 1t is further
| pointed out that while the president
! has no power to declare war, he has
! the immediate power to sever sharply
all diplomatic relations.
The most recent example of the
action OF this nature by this govern
ment was that Of Nicaragua. Secre-
tary Of State Knox broke off diplo-
matte connections summarily,

Official Washington has taken note
OF the defense of Germany as found

what has happened"

Mr.. Vanderbilt was among those
credited with receiving anonymous

In the walk-around each dancer
now moves without holding the
hands OF the partner. Save for the
touching of elbows, at points in
the dance, there is absolute inde-
pendence. The concluding salu-
tation, which closes the figure
two, brings the partners face to
face, ready for the one | am about
to explain.
The third figure requires that
the dancers move in a complete
circle, so that at the close each
shall be at the spot from which
they started. The counts run
from one to SIXTEEN" the first
four consisting OF four steps TAX
en- by each dancer on alternate
feet, the next four counts being
used for a salutation similar to
the one Just explained in the pre-
ceding article.
Alternate steps are once again
used on the third group of four
counts and on tho last four counts
the dancers make their second
salutation (this time on two in
stead of four counts after which
the partners take two steps to-
ward each other to continue the
dance with the fourth figure.
The lady, placing both hands
on her hips, starts her first part
of the walk-around, stepping first
with the right foot, then the left,
the right again and on the fourth
count the left.
Steps exactly like those of the
lady are taken by the cavalier, he
using the right foot when she uses
hers, and making his saiutation
with the knee of his right leg
bent and left leg held as straight
as possible. Each dancer should
take -teps averaging seven to
nine inches each, and be careful
to raise the foot every time and
place 1t in stately manner on the
floor, touching the ball of the
slipper or dancing pump only.
On the count Of Five" and
Six the lady and her cavalier
swing to their right and execute
the salutation, rising again on the
seven" and Eight" counts into
position to finish the walk-around.
Counts nine to twelve 'inclu-
sive are utilized by steps the ex-
act duplicates Of those taken on
the opening four counts of the
figure, and on thirteen" and
fourteen" the dancers complete
their second salutation which is
less formal and not quite as deep.
On counts Fifteen" and "six-
teen" the lady and her cavalier
take two steps toward each other,
the lady raising her right hand so
1t may be grasped by her cavalier
In his right preparatory to the
lady's making a complete turn to
her left under her own and her
partners arms, which will write
about in my next article.
