Making Preparations.

Washington, April 15.-In the most
culet way imaginable the war and ma
Wy men of the nation are preparing
for the possibilities of conflict, and
all departments of the government
realize that serious trouble NAV be at
hand very quickly.
Both in the German and Mexican
cases, affairs have developed to points
where solution can be delayed by but
very few days. BY Monday it is be-
heved the note from this country to
Lermany will go forward, and it will
be of nature that will leave Germany
but few words to speak in reply, and
those words will speak for complete
abandonment of the submarine policy.
which is hardly expected, or for a sew
efance OF diplomatic relations. with
war as an early possibility.
The Mexican crisis, it is feared, will
be decided by hot-headed poems. rath-
or than through the Diplomatic chan
rels which President Wilson and First
Chief Carranza would choose. The
failure to receive official information
from the American troops in Mex.
leo, in fact, leaves it an open oues-
'tion whether events have not already
transpired which will determine on,
relationship to Mexico.
Word has come here of contemplat-
ed attacks on the American lines to-
morrow, but whether these reports are
based on sound information is not
known. 1t is known, however. that
the commanders in the field have
been warned to be on their guard. and
they will not be taken by surprise if
there should be attacks.
The next week will be critical in
the affairs of the nation, probably de-
termining for peace or for a compli-
Gated conflict that may tax the re-
sources of the country for a Good
many years.

Ready to Protect Neutrals.

Washington, April 15.-"Only mir
acle will prevent an open break be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The Wilson administration is ready to
act on behalf of the rights of neutral
nations.
"President Wilson is convinced that
promises made in good faith by Count
Johan Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, have been ruthlessly vio-
lated by the German admiralty.
"The situation today is far more
critical than ever before. There will
be no more temporizing. The action
to be taken by this government has
been decided upon, but it is being de-
ferred from day to day until Amer
ica's case is complete"
This statement, by one of the few
men who know the mind Of Pres
ident Wilson, sums up the internation
al situation.
Although the Mexican situation is
admittedly serious proplen, the pres
;dent believes it will yield to diplo-
matte treatment.
President Wilson views the German
situation differently. He holds that
the attack on the channel packet Sus-
sex was fragrant, unwarranted and in
excusable. All diplomatic efforts to
settle the controversy have failed and
the president is now convinced that
the time has come to act.
The text of Berlins denial of re-
sponsibility for the attack On the Sus-
sex was considered at yesterdays cab
met meeting. The answer was con-
sidered "an insult to the intelligence
cf a great nation" in view of the fact
that the state department has what
it believes unimpeachable proof that
the Sussex was torpedoed without
warning.
A communication will be sent,
stating in unmistakable terms that
the United States believes Berlin has
cndeavored willfully to raise technical
issues to be cloud the real issue. As
to Germany's suggestion that the Sus-
sex incident is a proper subject for
arbitration, the United tSates govern
ment will state flatly that the safety
of Americans is a question of ma
tional honor and not one for arbitra-
ton by mixed tribunal.
