SUBMARINE SITVJA TON
ONE Or MU CHI GRAVITY
And There is Again Possibility
of Breaking Off Relations
with Germany.
nv ksseelA1En rnEas,

WASHINGTON. March 2T-Amerr
lean officials view the submarine sit
uation as taking on aspects OF much
gravity. The possibility OF breaking
of diplomatic relations with Ger
many Is again being discussed as one
of the eventualities which Is expect
ed to follow AZ 1t Is shown that the
steamers Sussex and Englishnlan
were victims Of submarines.
Officials say they are examining
all the facts at hand with open minds
md can come to no conclusion be-
fore they have additional information
but there is an undercurrent Of UNI
easincss over the possibility that
German submarines have renewed
their activities against passenger
carrying ships in violation Of the as
surances given to the United States.
All administration officials re-
Trained today from making def
mite statements as to future
action or from allowing any
definite statement to go out with
the sanction of being official but
there was no concealing that every
where the new situation was regard
ed as very delicate. The impression
was general that IL II should be es-
tahllshed that the ships were victims
Of submarines and President Wilson
decided to take action he first would
consult Congress.
1t was stated authoritatively here
Monday that should 1t be shown that
a German submarine attacked the
Sussex. Germany would disavow the
act, offer PREPARATION, punish the sub
marine commander and satisfy the
United States that the act wasiin vio-
lation OF instructions.
II was also stated authoritatively
that the German ambassador, Count
Bernstorff. was mainly responsible for
the retirement OF Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz, who is understood to have
been eliminated because Of his views
on submarine warfare after Count
Won Bernstorff had made certain rec
concentrations to the imperial cham
cellor, Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
1t was made clear that the German
embassy believed mine and not q
torpedo damaged the channel steam
or and that the German government
may issue a statement.
American officials declined to say
what would be the attitude OF the
United States to such an explanation.

REPUBLICANS ACCEPT
WILSON'S ASSURAN CES
tur ASSOCIATED ratss,

WASHINGTON. March 2f.-
Threatened complications In the Mex
lean situation disappeared Monday
when the Senate Republicans decid-
ed to accept the administrations as
aurances that sufficient troops were
on the border for protection Of the
American interests and determined
not to harry the agitation for more
troops further at this time. General
Funston's dispatches revealed no new
developments in the pursuit of Villa
and reports from naval vessels on
both coasts of Mexico disclosed moth
Ing disQuleting.
Eliseo Arredondo, General Carran-
za's ambassador, at the direction OF
his chief, presented to Secretary
Lansing some proposals to broaden
the protocol covering the joint pur-
suit of the Villa bandits.
The proposals will be studied by
Secretary Lansing before he again
confers with the ambassador. The
only effect of the new proposals will
be to delay the formal ratification.
The protocol suggested by General
Carranza was designed to cover use OF
Mexican railways by American TROOPS
in pursuit OF Villa and would provide
n working agreement under which in
structions could be issued by both
governments to the military command
era to cover any contingency. De-
tails Of the new proposals will not be
made public until Secretary Lansing
has reviewed them.
1t is believed General Carranza will
make no answer at present to the
specific request for permission to ship
supplies over the Mexican North
western to American troops now more
than 900 miles south OF the line.
Apparently. it is the purpose OF
General Carranza to grant the re.
Guest under the terms of the protocol
when It shall have been completed
rather than extend the permission
now and provide for 1t in the gener'
al agreement.

working in committee of the

resentative Smith, of Illinois, to strike
1t out. The question comes up again
when the House votes on the bill as a
whole.
An amendment to exempt from the
literacy test persons coming to this
country to escape either religious or
political persecution was rejected 140
to 4S. The bill as drawn would exempt
only persons prosecuted for religious
beliefs.
