THE GERMANS Do NOT
EXPECT WAR WITH US.

Berlin. Feb. Few Germans be-
lieve America will declare war. II
this belief is borne out. then England
will be compelled to make peace
through Germany's new blockade
order.
/, In the united chorus OF approval
Of the limitless warfare Just an
nounced for the starvation Of Eng
land. this was the opinion generally
expressed here today.
Announcement Of blockade has
erased all political differences.
The emperor now has united ma
tion behind him.
Germans who were asked today
why Germany announced her policy
Of limitless submarlnings with It's
dangers. made two replies.
First--They were convinced that
the war can be ended sooner. The
present move is regarded a. de-
cisive one against allied shipping
a so-called cutting Of the allied
blood vessels"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburs's
conviction that neutrals desire q
quick end to the war. and that there
fore every means must Ibe used to
end It. was quoted In this connection.
Secondly--It was explained BY
numerous Germans that the counsry's
unity was now complete. every class
believing that England viii soon b
compelled to ask for peace. ~

many's new policy means one Of two

II was obvious today there would
be no hurried action. In fact. and
despite the hint Of statement OF
position tomorrow, there were some
oficials who inclined to the belief
that the president may hold back his
decision until he receives some word
from Ambassador Gerard - to onlcial
Interpretation Of certain phrases In
the German note and memoranda.
Every angle was to be laid before
the cabinet meeting this afternoon
IN writing by Secretary Lansing.
Feeling predominates In official
circles that a break with Germany
is inevitable-if Germany carries out
to the letter her avowed intentions.
But behind this feeling is another
that the Unexpected may be ex-
pected" from the president.
There was q marked change in the
appearance Of officials today - COM
pared with the gloom Of yesterday.
Secretary Lansing was fairly beaming
when he greeted newspaper men.
President Wilson. after his golf game.
appeared smiling.
There was one real and very evi-
dent cloud. however. This was an
noyance. openly expressed In some
ofliciai quarters, over the puzsling At
titude Of German Ambassador Bern
storff. An almost studied gloom sur
rounded the Teuton embassy. or
ficials are at loss to understand the
declaration in prominent German
circles that "Bernstorff has all but
packed his trunks"
They admittedly were surprised at
hints from central power diplomats
that Germany means business and
will go the limit In starving Eng
land"
Another undenied report was that
Bernstorif expected to get his pass
ports within 4S hours.
II was also flatly stated in Ger
man circles that II break with AM
erica should come. Germany would
choose the Spanish ambassador to
handle her affairs here.
Some believe this talk was design
ed to warn Americans and Ameri-
can ships from going into the actual
danger zone. II was polntedly re-
marked in this connection that ma
turally II Americans and American
ships could be kept out OF the danger
zone, nothing could happen"
There were three significant de-
velopments OF the day.
The navy department clamped the
lid on all news regarding movement
OF this country's ships OF war.
The war department ordered ad-
ditional guards placed about the PAN
ANA canal. as a precautionary mea-
sure"
Senator Poindexter introduced a
resolution calling for an appropria-
tion for one hundred submarines, in
addition to those authorized in the
regular appropriation. He also asked
for $4,000 900 to equip United States
yards for building them.
