WILSON SAYS WAR WILL
FOLLOW GERMAN BREAK

WASHINGTON, Feb. G - Ger
many's answer to Wilson'S notice
may be declaration of war. 1t is
expected before the day is over. The
belief is erystalizing among officials
that the final step is inevitable and
it will cause no surprise if Germany
takes it now. The belief is strength
ened by dispatches quoting thinner
man as saying that no steps back
ward will be taken.
President Wilson told the senate
foreign relations committee that he
had been reliably informed that ac-
tual war would follow the break.
The London admiralty report re-
garding the killing of Richard Wal
lace made the situation more acute
