WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O-Late reports Of ships sunk
by German submarines were scanned eagerly by govern

First there was the everpresent fear that any hour
might bring dispatch saying American ship had been
sunk without warning American lives lost thus driving
the United States to force to protect its rights
Second yesterdays reported falling off of aggregate ton

United States has been determined.
President Wilson will not ask Congress for declaration
war; but only for authority to take necessary measures
to protect neutral rights.
This would still leave the first act of open hostes to
Germanys choosing. Conveying of American vessels by
American war craft might be ordered.
Practical interest in the progressive success of the SUBJ

While information regarding the channel
