the Allied nations on joint war aims
and full realization OF all those
fighting Germany that Russia must
bo swerved from the present popular
policy OF mo annexations and no in

propaganda in Russia.
In his speech 20 the Chamber OF
Deputies yesterday Premier Ribot
said It was necessary 10 combat dam
gerous sophisms which sought "a
treat the restoration OF "our lost
p ovinces" as being a question OF an
nexation. and which also confused
the question OF indemnities for raw

Berlin. Sunday. Feb. 4 (by Wireless
to Sayville), (Delayed). d).-Although
late this afternoon no official confirm
alton had reached Berlin that rela-
tions with the United States had been
broken off, the text of President VIII
sons address to congress removed all
doubt in the minds Of the general
public as well as in the official world
as to the exactness of earlier private
information. Foreign Secretary Zim-
norman made the following state
ment to the Overseas News agency:
I'VE regret this measure taken by
President Wilson, all the more since
against all traditions and all inter-
national law we are cut off from all
direct communication and regular in
tercourse with the transatlantic
world. We also remember that Amer
lean diplomats during the last months
and years of the war have cared for
German interests by proxy, in several
hoss'lss sssatgies M Il gka /: ss..s'sssy s!ss @ 81
great succes6 -
1.-THE text OF the presidents mes
sage has therefore been examined
most minutely. Having no real rea-
son for hostility to the United States
remembering the traditional friend
ship which has existed between the
countries practically from the first
days Of the United States, we nat
urally appreciate the words Of a
rather non-hostile character which,
among others of a different charac-
ter, are found in that message
as transmitted by Reuters. In them
President Wilson gives assurances that
he wishes no hostile conflict with
Germany and can add that we ap-
preciate this and other paragraphs in
the message, joining in this respect
with President Wilson's note.
"While we think to certain ex-
tent that we can see by what rea-
sons the United Sttaes government
was prompted to it's present attitude,
on the other hand we expect that
President Wilson to the same extent
may recognize the reasons which
prompted us to make our decision"
