After the appeal 20 the neutrals and
the great relief because OF the ABB
senee so far of any overt act on the
part of Germany, the attention OF
Washington to-day. was focused on
the case Of the American liner st.
Louis. announced TO sail Tor Europe
tomorrow and 20 enter the forbidden
zone long after the last day OF grace
set by the Germans.
For reasons best apparent to the
official and diplomatic mind. the De-
partment of State apparently was
greatly embarrassed by the case pre-
scented by the officers of the American
Line. II was realized that If the 81.
Louis sailed unconvoyed, unarmed, I'M
protected in any way, and was torpC-
doed without a warning, roar OF an
ger would 90 up from the country and
4 demand for the heads Of the men re-
sponsible.
The responsibility, however, hardly
belongs on the State Department. Of
iicials there realize that 1t cannot re-
fuse to permit the st. Louis to sail
because that would be submitting TO
Germany as MIR. Wilson declared tins
government would not submit, ana
that il could not advise that the 81
Louis be armed or conveyed. because
that would be a hostile act against
mower which the President insists on
believing is friendly until an overt
act is committed. There was nothing
70 do; so the department tired to DO
nothing.
Responsibility Is on President
The responsibility is with the Pres
ident. If anything effective Is done
the order must go from him 70 the
Navy Department. 1t is difficult 10
act according to the rules when one
finds himself in twilight zone. Inc
danger is Of falling into twilight
sleep. II appears TO be a time for cut,
ting Gordan knots of red tape and
diplomatic usage.
Behind the studied effort to give the
effect Of everything as usual there
are signs Of energetic efforts in all de-
partments Of the government to make
ready quickly for the worst. -.
The responsible heads Of the mill
tary and naval forces arc carefully
studying the various possibilities IT.
is realized that plumbers to begin with
NAV prove tremendously costly; that
the United States authorities, by plung-
ing ahead without careful thought,
might easily defeat its own purpose.
For example the War Department
siready is considering now just how
far il will be wise 70 interfere with
contracts which American munitions
firms now have with the British and
French governments. II may be wiser
not to interfere at all. but to continue
rs large as possible supply of arms
and ammunition to England and France.
American manufacturing plants have
been quick to place themselves at the

Break with Austria Near;
u. S. Tries to Avert 1t

Washington. Feb. 4.-Continuance OF
diplomatic relations between the Unit
ed States and Austria Hungary was
declared here tonight to rest on a
very slender thread, with rapid eX-
change of views taking place in an
eleventh hour hope of saving an appar-
emily hopeless situation.
Two reasons the condition in which
il would leave prisoners whose inter
Csts are now cared for by American
diplomats and the futility of any fur
Their purely formal step-make officials
loath TO extend the break with Ger
many to Austria.
Americas moral protest against Ger
many's policy of sea ruthlessness is
felt to have been adequately driven
home by The most serious step short OF
war that this country could take. sim
liar action against Austria Hungary Is
thought not to be justified unless Aus
tria-Hungary precipitates the necessity
herself.
Cares for 900, 900 Prisoners
It is estimated that the United
States. through the belligerent inter
csts she represents in Austria and tne
Austrian interests she represents IN

100000 military prisoners, Desldes
several hundred thousand civilian prls-
cners. If Austria were to go through
the formality of indorsing Germanys
stand the relief work would be entirely
withdrawn.
Austria. it is pointed out, has never
been shown to be operating submarines
on a large scale. Many in the Medlter-
ranean are thought to have been Ger
man submarines under the Austrian
flag. on the ground that for the most
of the war Germany has not been at
war with Italy, and could not there
fore. sink Italian ships.
Officials are reticent about discussing
the situation, and will not confirm or
DENY reports that Austria has Informed
the United States Of her adherence 10
Germany's submarine policy. The only
official announcement has been con
corning the receipt of long dispatch
from Ambassador Penfield, at Vienna,

This dispatch is known to have been
confused and to have raised questions
which must be solved before decision
is reached by the State Department.

he would pc here later in the day.
The deputy sergeant-at-arms was IN
structed to serve subpoenae on Law
son Immediately and bring him before

recessed for the present"

cred the matter of Withholding the
right of habeas corpus in case II Is

tempt and he is turned over to the
sergeant at arms.
Members said however. that they
were uncertain about whether they
could refuse such right, though
they will try under the broader reso-
luton to hold him II contempt ls
adjudged for any refusal to answer
questions:
The deputy sergeant at arms report
ed he had endeayored over Sunday
to subpoena Lawson but without re-
had promised he would appear today.
Chairman Henry then directed is
suance of new summons.
The committee dis'banded. saying
probably it would hear no other wit
nesses today, but would convene at
any time during the day that Lawson
may appear.
When the house met, Representa-
tive Garrett introduced two resOlu-
tions intended to compel witnesses,
particularly Lawson, to answer ques-
tions One resolution specifically
called for authority to compel Law
son to name the congressman who,
Lawson has said, was his informant
in the leak situation. Both passed.
Society women fIocked to the hear
ing, as to an afternoon tea. DR..
Mary Walker was there in all her
trouserettes and busted herself and

seat for "s2 CID gentleman college
professor"
Seats were at premium, but the
female contingent came early to
avoid the rush.
The wife OF Swedish Minister
Ekrengren was there with box
party"
Lawson notified the committee that
he would be here at p. M, so
committee session was called for 3
o'clock.
The gallery of society folk fairly
groaned In disappointment at ,aw-
sons non-appearance and the recess.
Lerry South, acting sergeant at
arms, assuaged their grief however.
by announcing that the visitors could
