Berlin, Feb A, via London, Feb. O.
Up to late hour this evening, the Unit
ed States embassy had received no Off
cial instructions in regard to the breach
of diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany.
The news, however, was made known
through newspaper dispatches and it is
said that United States Ambassador Ger
ard has virtually decided to return 10 the
United States from Spanish port.
The plan to have American interests
taken over by the Brazilian minister has
been abandoned and IL is not known who
will represent America in Berlin after
Gerard's departure.
The Associated Press learns authori-
tatively that Germany will propose to
Ambassador Gerard special re.ratiiica-
tion of the Prussian- American treaties
of l79a aud 1872, allowing nations in
case OF war nine months in which TO
settle their affairs and leave the hostile
countries. This step would positively
insure Americans in Germany and Ger.
mans in America against internment If
hostilities breag out, and would prevent
a precipitate exodus from either eoun-
try.
representative from the foreign Of
flee pointed out to the Associated Press
correspondent that the ancient treaties
are still in effect and that they contain
a clause contrary to the usual rule that
they should not be invalidated by the
outbreak OF hostilities. The official said
that, so far as he had been informed,
Germany would certainly hold to these
treaties and there would be no question
of interning Americans in Germany in
,ase of war

While the officials refuse to admit
Austria's formal announcement of her
adhesion to Germany's declaration of un-
restricted submarine warfare has been
received officially, there is reason for be-
lieving it is now before the government
and that appropriate action is being con-
sidered.
A resolution endorsing the presidents g
action in severing relations with Ger
many was introduced in the Senate to-
day by Senator Stone, emphasizing par
ticularly the presidents expressed de-
sire to maintain peace. The resolution
went over until tomorrow without dis
cussion.
Arrangements are being made for all
German eonsuls and consular officials in
the United States to accompany Won
Bernstorff and the German embassy staff
out of the country. The whole party of
more than three hundred probably will
go by way of Cuba and Spain.

RAISE REGIMENT
In Case of Hostilities Be-
tween United States and

The pledging of Vermont's most heart
support to the nation in the event o

central powers was incorporated in
resolution introduced in the House o
Representatives, this afternoon by Rep
reseatative Dunham of Brattleboro. RI

Whereas, in the opinion of the
general assembly of the state OF Yer.
mont, the president of the United
States has exhausted every honor
able means to preserve the honor and
integrity of this nation, and has
deemed it necessary ON account Of
the persistent and long continued
violation by the German government
of the fundamental principle of in
ternational law to sever diplomatic
relations with the government OF
Germany.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
state of Vermont by the vote OF its
general assembly now in session
hereby assures the federal govern
ment of its firm and unwavering
support at this critical time in the
worlds history, and that it is the
sense of the general assembly that
this state proceed at once to the ade-
quate preparation for any emergen-
cy that may arise so that it may re-
spond to any call that may be made
upon it by the federal government.
And, resolved further that the
secretary of state be instructed TO
send to the president of the United
States duly attested copy of this
resolution"

NEW OVERLAND MODEL PROM.
ISES no BE BIG SELLER
THIS SEASON.

The Overland Country Club road
ster is attracting more than the
usual amount of attention at the va
rious auto shows throughout the
country. demonstrating clearly that
this smallest member of the Over
land family is going to be one of the
best sellers of the 1917 line.
When the Willys-Overland COM

vention ever held in the history Of
the automobile industry at Toledo
last month, one Of its chief attrac-
tons was the complete line of new
Overland and Willys-Knight models
on exhibition at the factory's show
rooms. The convention had been in
session less than week when it be-
came evident to officials of the COM

Country Club roadsters would be in
sufficient to meet the demands of its
dealers.

of the Thurston County Farm Loan
Society will meet in Olympia Satur-
day to select a permanent secretary
treasurer. who will have charge of
considerable business of the society
