WASHINGTON ADMITS GRAVE
CONCERN OVER PRESENT
WAR SITUATION.
FEAR GERMANY WILL
SINK AMERICAN SHIPS
Commanders Of Submarines May
Blunder, It is Feared-Use Of Ameri-
can Flag by British Shipping Also
Source of Worry to President and
Cabinet.
Especial Correspondence

Washington. Feb. 20.-rhe full ex-
tent of the concern and apprehension
felt in Washington over the interpa-
tional situation has been but little IN
dicated in most of the dispatches
which have gone out from Washing
ton. Naturally, in administration quar-
tiers and other official circles there is
disposition to put the soft pedal on
the facts.
However, there can be no doubt that
the complications which the bitter
warfare of England and Germany nave
brought on neutrals are causing rear
worry here. The president is anxious
over the prospects and SO Is congress-
that is, those men in congress VINO
give any serious thought to interna-
tional relations. 1t is an unfortunate
fact that the average member knows
nothing about international matters
and in crisis simply takes the WORD
of some one higher up.
The German war zone order plus the
use of the American flag by some OF
the British merchant shipping are the
things which are the immediate cause
of the apprehension felt here. England
has set out to starve out Germany ana
keep foodstuffs from her. Germany
seeks to retaliate by declaring war
zone exists about England and serving
notice that neutral vessels entering the
war zone are likely to De mistaken by
German submarines for British vessels
or enemy vessels and blown up. This
country has served a protest on Ger
many that if American vessels are de-
stroyed under such circumstances and
American lives lost Germany will be
held TO strict accountability The
American protest was drawn in terms
so vigorous as to amount almost to an
ultima tum. At the same time, this
country has protests against miscel-
laneous use of the American flag by
British vessels.
Fear Germans Will BIunder.
The fear felt here is that some of the
American vessels may be Eubmarined
by the Germans by plunder and then
the lid will blow Off and war will be
threatened.
On the face of things. the situation
looks about the gloomiest for con-
tinued good relations with foreign
powers that it has looked since the

here hope that the German commanders
of submarines will not go to the
lengths the war zone decree indicates
and that the German bark will prove
worse than the bite 50 far az our yes

1t is thought likely the German COM
manders have been given secret orders
not to modest American ships. save to
search them as international law al
lows. If this has been done, 1t will be
fortunate 1t is considered almost in
conceivable here that Germany would
take any chances by blowing up Amer

around $500 $50 quite a number of

Market has been very mean for the
grade selling under $500 Demand is
small, as packers are we'll filled up
with that sort of beef. This is the
grade of cattle that under normal con-
ditions would be finding ready outlet
to feeder buyers for shipment to the
country.
The advance was scored this week
when receipts were cut to small vol
ume. AS shippers are operating only
on small scale, the country is urged
to hold receipts for next Monday and
the week down to small volume to give
prices chance to show further i'm
provement The advance this week led
many TO think that the low spot for
the present time has been hit. Prices
can be held from going lower only I'M

demand is not enlarged and packers
are still well filled up with fresh beef
from the liberal runs received recently.
Demand for live steers will not be very
great until most of the stale stuff is
