at present. The president certainly
does not want congress to bring out
another squirting resolution and hold
an animated debate upon 1t. which
will exhibit America before the CEN
tral powers divided and discordant.
There will be nothing of this kind.
The Cores and McLemores cannot re-
peat What is expected is that con-
gress, now conversapt with the steps
taken by the president, will await. as
he does, the next move from Ger
many. If Germany fully complies
with the demands of the president,
diplomatic relations win continue and
there will be nothing left but to asses
damages for the depredations already
committed.
Wait on Gcrmany's Decision.
But If Germany continues her pres
ent method of submarine warfare, IL
another vessel unwarned is sent to
the bottom and another American
is killed or put in jeopardy, the presi-
dent will hand Won Bernstorff his
of waiting until another overt act of
the same kind sent the president to
congress to lay the situation before
them finally. When he had severed
diplomatic relations the president
would be done. He would have to
leave the rest to congress. The mem
bers might declare war or they might
not. They would do what they be-
lieved the honor of the country de-
manded They might find that this
could be satisfied short of war, with
its bin of lives and money.
Opinions Differ.
II should be said the opinion that
Germany will come down and that
submarine warfare will be emascu-
lated is not unanimous. Army men
are particularly dissident from this
verdict. One of this class said today!
''lt is question of the value of sub
marines to Germany's fight. If 1t is
worth a break, the break will come.
that the export of enuni-

Krupp works In fact it powerfully
supplements the Krupp works, since
it promises Germany the upper hand
in the supply of munitions. In that
