KAISER PUSHES
U.S.. NEAR WAR.
BY ROBERT J. BENDER

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Near-peace-
full relations with Germany and the leu
tonic allies were stretched to the swapping
point today, when this government received
positive confirmation of the ominous report
carried in United Press dispatches from
Berne that Brand Whitlock, American min
lister to Belgium, had been forced to lower
the Stars and Stripes from the United States
legation in Brussels.
This confirmation brought Germany and
the United States admittedly nearer to open
hostilities than any events since President
Wilson broke off relations with Germany.
Officials observed the act in the light of re-
ports they have as constituting a possible
open affront.
