THE CAT Is OUT.

According to a report late last evening the BrazilianS had entered into real war and were fighting Germans on the zihan-Uruguay bor- ders. This may be said to have more than a passing significance. The Germans have not been mobilizing there without purpose. and that purpose Is obviously a base of supplies for their raiders and submarines. With base of sup plies handy. the German raiders and submarines can cause great deal of trouble and unless help is given Brazil they are not likely to be driven out of there easily. They have not mobilized there without preparing for strong resistance. That is where the United States first work will begin

INTERNATIONAL LAW NOT VIOLATED WHEN GERMANS SANK SHIP
Ample Warning Given and Precautions Taken to
 Save the Crew
REPORT RECEIVED
 FROM THE CONSUL

Washington, February 4. The possibility that the sink ing of the American steamer Housatonic will become a seri- ous factor in the crisis with Germany apparently was elim- mated today by evidence that the attacking submarine acted within international law. American consul Stephens at Plymouth reported that warn ing was given and provision made for safety of the crew.
 London. February 1.-The crew of
 the American steamship Housatonic has been landed at Penzance, England. The Housatonic was warned by the German submarine which sank her, ac- cording to John G. Stephens, American consul at Plymouth. MT. Stephens to- day sent the following telegram to the Associated Press:
 Total crew of s7 of Housatonic landed at Penzance Saturday. Yes sel topedoed by German submarine l2:30 Saturday. Warned. Crew towed SO minutes by submarine toward land' MT. Stephens telegraphed today to Rob- ert F. Skinner, the American consul gen. eral, that the Housatonic was halted by a German submarine at noon and that after being warned. the crew took to the boats. The Housatonic was then torpe- doed and sunk and the submarine towed the boats to a point off the English coast

SEVERAL CAUSES MAY HASTEN INEVITABLE

 Washington, February 4. Especial. War with Ger many is unavoidable.
 That is the consensus of opinion in Washington. The prediction is made that this week passports will be is- sued to the representatives in this country of Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, and that President Wilson will ask Congress for authority to sustain American honor by force of arms.
 There is every indication that the President will attempt every recourse in the hope of obviating the apparently inev- itable. It is pointed out, how ever, that in the prosecution of its naval programme, it will be virtually impossible for Ger many to refrain from either a wilful or inadvertent infringe ment against American rights. In either event, the President has solemnly affirmed that he would ask permission to resort to force.
 In addition there are other existing

Washington, February 4. The state department this afternoon prepared to ask the British government for a safe conduct for Ambassa- dor Won Bernstorff to en- able him to return to Ger many. The request probably will be made through Sir Ce- cil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador here.
 Though the plans for his enforced departure from the United States still were incomplete, Count Von Bern- storff began today the preparation of his baggage and that of his staff for shipment back to Germany. His last duty as the representative of his gov ernment here, the task of winding up the embassy's affairs for relinquish- ment to the keeping of neutral diplo- macy, will be performed as soon as details are arranged and the ambassa- dor will sail for home.
