Washington, March 27.--Ameri- can officials view the submarine situation as taking on aspects of ~ jrauch gravity. The possibility of breaking off diplomatic relations with Germany is again being discussed as o,le of tt.I cventualities which is OK pectcd to follow if it is shown that he steamers Sussex and Enslishman were victims of submarines. NJ Officials say they are examining al ~the facts at hand with open minds and can come to nc conclusion before they have additional information but 1hcre is fLn undercurrent of uneasiness over the possibility that German sub- marines have renewed their activities against passenger carrying ships in violation Of the assurances given to the United States.
 No Definite Statement. All administration officials refrained today from making definite statements as to future action or from having any definite statement go out with the sanction of being official, but there was no ccncealing that everywhere the new situation was regarded as very delicate. The impression was general  the ships were victims of submarines and President Wilson decided to take action, he would first consult con- rgress.
 Chairman Stone of the foreign re- lations committee said, after seeing President Wilson, that all facts would iee awaited before action was taken and that in their absence he refused to express an opinion. While Presi- dent Wilson and other officials do not underestimate the possibilities of the new situation they realize that break ing off of diplomatic relations with Germany almost certainly would mean war, and for, that reason each step will be carefully considered.
 President Meets With Lansing. k The president was in communication with Secretary Lansing during the day and urged speedy gathering of facts regarding the Sussex and the English man.
 Senators and representatives who called at the White House reflected Ghe view that the situation was seri- sls
