Moving Toward Action.

1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. D. Affairs in connection with the cOun- try's foreign relations are rapidly sweeping toward action, and it is eX- pected the President will announce today what course he will pursue rel ative to the German declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare. Last evening the President conferred with the members of the cabinet for two hours, following which he went tu
 the capitol and held a long confer ence with Senator William J. Stone of Missouri, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. whom he promised before leaving, that he would see before he took any steps toward a severance of diplomat ic relations with Germany. He then went to the Presidents room on the Senate side, and scurrying pages sum- moned every available senator for a momentous conference, but what ac- Ition was decided upon is unknown, ievery senator and every member of the cabinet having agreed upon the strictest secrecy until such time ss the Administration has mapped out course of action and is prepared to lgive it to the public.
