RADICAL CHANGE
IN BRITISH VIEW
BELIEF GROWING THAT RELA
TIoNs ARE BECOMING TENSE.
AND A POSSIBILITY OF WAR
The LToyd's Regard Situation Serious
and Are Alive to German-Ameri-
can Break and Turn Down Re.
quest For Insurance.

By Charles p. Stewart, United
Press Staff correspondent. London,
March S.-Almost over night Eng
lads view of the German-American
situation has undergone a radical
change. Belief is growing that rela.
tions between the two are becoming
more tense and the possibility of war
is most seriously considered.
Reports from Danish and Dutch
sources in the last twenty-four hours
declare that the feeling of bitterness
toward America in Germany is in.
creasing. Whether the action of
congress in upholdlng the president
is the cause is not known.
War insurance brokers at Lloyds
who heretofore declined to regard the
situation as serious, are now alive to
the possibility of German american
break.
The first request for insurance
against war between the United
States and Germany was made today
but the rate suggested by the appli-
cants was considered too low by the
Lloyd brokers.
Afternoon papers emphasize this
view of the situation in large head
lines under Washington dispatches,
reporting President Wilson's victory
in the house yesterday.
Wilson defies German piracy" and
Deck cleared for action" were sam.
pies of the headlines. In some quar-
tiers belief persists that the Germans
will yield.
Would Retain Friendship.
New York, March S.-The general
feeling among many noted men in
Germany is that the government there
had exhausted all efforts to retain
Americas friendship and can do
nothing further, according to, Roy S.
Mac Elwee, secretary to the Ameri-
can eonsul-general In Berlin, who ar.
rived here last night on the Norwe-
gian America liner Kristianiaford.
Mr.. Mac Elwee has returned to visit
relatives and will go to Washington
on official business.
The military and naval strength of
the United States is not seriously re
garded in Germany, said Mr.. Mac FL
wee.
Germans feel" he asserted, that
there is a manifest moral sympathy
allies and this is going to prolOng the
war in that Germans believe the al
lies feel that they have the United
States to call upon in case of neces-
sity. Germans think that but for
this American sympathy peace would
now be possible"
