WHITE HOUSE PATH BARRED
Takes Senator Simmons is Minutes
to Reach the President.

The police guard thrown about the
White House grounds soon after the
United States had severed relations
with Germany is rigid in the extreme,
and to get to the White House proper
one must convince the authorities OF
ones business, and then be conveyed
by a Secret Service man.
This was demonstrated yesterday
afternoon, when Senator Simmons, of
the Senate Finance Committee, sum-
moned to the Executive Mansion to
confer with the President, spent about
fifteen minutes trying to get to the
Chief Executive. ~
At first, he tried to drive through
the gates on the Pennsylvania avenue
side, but was halted by the bluecoats
stationed there, who directed him to
go to the Executive avenue side Of
the Executive offices. He went to the
lower gates there, and found them
locked. He then returned toward
the main entrance of these offices,
alighted, walked up the steps and was
turned in to the offices proper.
He told the policemen on duty that
ne had an engagement with the Presi-
dent. One of the Secret Service men
on duty at the time escorted him to
the White House and into that build
ing.

BERNSTORFF MAY GO
BY END OF WEEK
State Department Is Taking
Steps to Obtain Safe Con-
duct for Former Envoy.

Count Johann H. Won Bernstorff IS
expected to leave Washington before
the end of this week.
The State Department has already
taken steps to obtain from the en-
tente allies safe conduct guarantees
for the diplomat with whose country
the United States has severed rela-
tions.
1t is believed several days will be
necessary for the diplomatic inter-
changes incident to obtaining the
guarantees. State Department Off
cials today expressed confidence that
the entente allies would comply with
this Governments request that Count
Won Bernstorff be assured of safe
passage to Germany.
May Go to Latin America.
In the event OF a refusal. however,
which State Department officials be-
lieve improbable. Count Won Bern
storfr will go to Mexico or South
America. The ambassador has told
his friends It is a matter OF indiffer-
ence to him where he goes or what
happens to him now, but he believes
1t logical that the United States
would want to send him back to Ger
many and would make every effort to
see that he returned there out OF dip
lomatic courtesy.
There being no German trans
Atlantic steamers in operation now,
Count Won Bernstorff, II safe conduct
guarantees are given. will have to
travel on a British or American boat
Can't Give Guarantee.
The entente allies cannot give any
positive guarantee that the vessel on
which he sails will not be sunk by a
German submarine or mine. Since
Germany has threatened to stop or
attack neutral vessels. the United
States cannot give the, ambassador
any positive guarantee that any
American boat on which he may travel
would be immune from submarine ac.
tivity on the part OF his own govern.
ment
Count Won Bernstorff remained in
seclusion again today. He says he Is
only a private citizen and cannot
speak for the German government
All inquIrers are referred to the Swiss
minister, DIR. Paul Ritter.
At the Swiss legation today Il was
stated that Ambassador Bernstorfi
had not completely turned over his
affairs to DR.. Ritter and no statement
could be made there.
Replied In the Negative.
In response to the question HAS tht
Swiss legation received any commu
nications from the German govern
nent yet?" the secretary replied In
the negative. He added that none
was expected until the archives oi
the German embassy and all Other
records and diplomatic equipment
were turned over to DR.. Ritter.
Count Won Rernstorff had a lengthy
conference with DIR. Ritter yesterday
and arranged for another today
In the meantime the forty attaches

The Japanese public received their

Press cables. The announcement
came like a thunderbolt.
The public and officialdom generally
expressed astonishment at the prompt
ness with which President Wilson
took this step, but uncertainty
whether America would cooperate
with the allies in actual warfare was
general.
All newspapers comment on the
step with the most enthusiastic ap-

British Fleet Can Save Us.

"If war is declared the only thing
that will save us from the wrath Of
iermany is the British navy" de-
rlared Frederic L. Huidekopeer, Wash

he German crisis.
"And suppose the British navy is
Smashed?" he asked in the same
breath.
IF Germany has built enough sub
marines she will smash the British
navy" Mr.. Huidekoper continued.
Then no one supposes that our little
American navy can hold of the i'm
mense German fleet. And then sup
pose japan would eventually throw
in her lot with Germany. Japan and
England without doubt are gradually
drifting apart"
Mr.. Huidekoper declared that Pres
Ident Wilson should call 100000 men
to arms today and have them in train
ing camps by the end of the week.
