IS VISITED BY
ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRE

OTTAWA. Canada, Feb. 5.-An-
other mysterious fire destroyed the
Grant, Holden & Graham company's
plant early today while an inyesti-
CATION was still under way OF the
blaze which destroyed the $1,000
coo parliament buildings yesterday.
The company was engaged in the
manufacture Of military supplies for
the government.
Night Waterman Smith said he
was convinced that the fire was of
incendiary origin because he. in
spected the second floor, where the
fire started, few minutes before
il broke out.

CASE IS GRAVE
BELIEVED THAT CRISIS II NEAR
IN THE aERMsN-ANiERiCAN
RELATIONS.
WAITING NEXT MOVE
Conference to Have Been Held This
Afternoon Between President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing
Called OFF.

WASHINGTON, February 5.-The
conference between President wilson
and Secretary Lansing which was ex-
|pected to have an important bearing
on the Lusitania situation was called
loft this afternoon.
Cermany's refusal to disavow the
sinking of the Lusitania has resulted
lin a situation OF the utmost gravity
No decisive step has been planned.
BY Tuesday the president hopes 10
be ready TO lay decision before his
cabinet when it meets.
Secretary Lansing carried to the
White House today the report trans
mitted by Germany to Ambassador
Bernstorff yesterday that Germany
was unwilling to make further con-
DECISIONS to avoid a break, but would
mot disayow the sinking of the lin
Ter. The president had before him Il
onfidential report from Colonel E.
NJ. House. Colonel House is under
stood to have cabled that German
public opinion is so strongly
opposed to any admission of the IL
legality of the act that the
German foreign ofIIce's hands were
tied in that respect. in some quar-
tiers it was limited that no drastic
step would be taken until Col. House,
now in Paris, reaches Washington.
Ii the president rules against fur
ther negotiations he will probably
await a complete report from his
confidential agent before throwing
down the gauntlet to Germany and
sending an ultimatum calling for an
Immediate disavowal or diplomatic
Break. The diplomatic deadlock is
over the single word illegal"
Whether a reprisal can be Legal as
Germany declares was the case when
the Lusitania was sunk is the point
en- which the two governments are
divided In the absence of interna-
tionaI law on submarine warfare at
the time of the attack and the fact
that the Lusitania was an enemy
ship loaded with munitions Germany
insists that even without warning
the act of the submarine COM
mander was not Illegal On the otn-
er hand the American government
contends that under all law, inter
national, national, moral or human
itarian, the destruction of the Lusi-
tania was Illegal The demand for
disavowal linked with a demand for
an admission of the illegality of the
attack is said to be en- additional
factor in the controversy. The adj
ministration has asked Germany to
repudiate the act of the submarine
commander for reasons of alleged
Illegally. While the implied disa-
vowal by Acknowledgements of the il
legality of the act might be accept
ible according to unofficial informa-
tion, the question sought is that the
attack was without the pale of the
law. This is the point both govern
ments fare declared to have been
unable to agree upon. Unofficial re-
ports from Berlin that arbitration
be suggested has. as in the past, not
been received favorably. The admin
istration maintains that it cannot ar
bitrate so grave question with ma
tional honor--that it cannot arbi-
trate the wholesale slaughter of
Americans and the sacrifice of in
nocent neutral non-combatants, in
