to- kill hope for continuance of peace,
and entrance into the ruthless U-boat
campaign yesterday by an Austrian
submarine added to the crushing
weight on this hope, especially in view
of the fact that the American ship sunk

east all caution to the wind; at least
her statesmen are quoted as saying she

anyone else.
In addition to this is the fact that
the nation Is business is fast piling UP
tied up by Germany's 1bloekade.
All these things are making authori
ties dubious of the future.
The president intends to proceed de
lliberately, not to be stampeded on 8
single incident, his friends say.
But the accumulation of German mis-
deeds and the evidences that these viii
grow rather than decrease, is rapidly
forcing Wilson to his next step--that
of asking congress for protection OF
Americans on the seas
While negotiations still continue te
prevent break with Austria and other
central powers a serious turn was giver
to the situation by the fact that an
Austrian submarine sank the American
schooner Lyman NJ. Law, illegally, ae
eording to reports.
This situation may mean that it vii
not be long before President Wilson
breaks with Austria.

Meanwhile, behind the curtain of Sc

Word From Gerard

Washington, Feb 5.--Ambassador
Gerard reported officially to the state
department that Germany had tried TO
force him to have the 1899 treaty re-
ratified, under penalty of holding AM
eriean newspaRemen as hostages.
His message contained much teehnic-
Ial detail as 10 ust what the Germans
wanted.
The report presumably contains also
the information regarding the Whit.
lock incident, although the department
refused up to noon TO say so. This dis.
Ipatch from Gerard, officially confirms
