CABINET

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE definite
statement that nothing has gone
forward to Germany yet" was made
by the state department today rela-
tive to the present German-American
crisis.
This created the impression that
some definite statement as to the
American course might be expected
following the cabinet meeting, or at
the latest tomorrow morning.
The conference between the Presi-
dent and Senator Stone this afternoon
promises to be historic.
The last time they met under SINH
lar conditions was following the Sus-
sex sinking. Then there were plain
and strong words.
The President declared then that if
this country pursued its diplomatic
course, the loss of another American
life as d result of a U-boat attack,
friendly relations between the United
States and Germany would cease. Such
a severance of relations, the President
added, would result in war, according
to his information.
London, Feb. a. Six more ships
were reported sunk in the second day
of Germany's new barred zone cam
paign early this afternoon.
First was the Norwegian steamer
Portia. Then came word of the de-
struction of the Ravenbourne-with
loss of three members of the crew
and the sinking of the Norwegian
steamer Hekla.
Later the following additional
sinIings were announced: British
steamer Ewonite, Spanish steamer
Algeria, Belgian steam trawler Mar
cello. The last named vessel was
sunk by gunfre from a submarine.

cruiser Amethyst, which put into

London, February 2.-The neutral
nations of Europe are awaiting Ameri-

on the seas with anxiety.
Dispatches today from the capitals
of Holland-Spain and the Scandinavian
countries limited that effort would be
made in each of those nations to delay
any action until that determined upon
by the United States is announced.
Holland IS perhaps hardest struck OF
all the European neutrals. Among the
first ships to fall victim to the new sea
ruthlessness was a Dutch freighter.
Holland is closer to the barred zone"
about England than any other neutral
nation.
Practically all European neutrals
have ordered all sailings suspended
until some decision is reached.
