WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-Be
tween the fires OF English determina-
tion and German resentment the gov
ernment officials here are admittedly
troubled as to the outcome OF the
recent protests. The state department
expects to receive Germany's reply
before night. Department officials
are convinced that England will not
rclent in her plan to starve Germany,
nor the latter drop the plan to ami
hilatc all commerce in the war zone.
Between the two, American commerce
must suffer, with the possibility OF
the destruction Of many American
vessels and the loss OF hundreds of
