Washington, d. c., Feb. l.
Following a conference today
between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing, to which
Lansing took the document on
which he had worked all the
morning, the opinion spread in
official quarters that the pos
sibilities following the new
submarine developments in
clude either an immediate sew
erance of relations or a warn
ing to Berlin that a break will
follow if the Campaign of
ruthlessness" is put into effect.
There is no official ground
for stating that either course
has been selected, although
one is generally expected.
After the conference Ian
sing said 81 can say absolutely
nothing about the situation"
Extreme gravity prevailed through.
out Washington official circles during
the day Secretary Lansing's refusal,
after an hours conference with Presi.
dent Wilson, to indicate what action
had been decided upon left the way
open for the widest speculation. Pre-.
yiously Lansing had been alone in his
office for hours working. 1t was just
before noon that he joined the presl-
dent. Speculation dealt with the pos.
sibility of action already having been
taken. 1t was thought that any action
must be preceded by steps through the
navy department to safeguard Ameri.
can interests.
Germany's sudden declaration of her
intention, without warning, to destroy
all shipping over wide area, comes
as the climax to long series of ae.
gravated cases in which the United
States has gathered evidence that her
pledges TO respect international law
at sea have been broken. A score Of
American lives have been lost since
the slate was wiped by Germany's
promises in the Sussex case, but in
each instance there were conflicting
influences and in each case there
were repeated assurances from the
German embassy here that nothing
be permitted to disturb the relations
with the United States.
An evidence Of the efforts of the
embassy here to keep relations tran.
quill is found in comparison OF the
note handed yesterday to Secretary
Lansing by Count Won Bernstorff with
the one handed by Berlin foreign Of
fee to Ambassador Gerard The note
published in Berlin announces in bold
terms the determination OF Germany
to WELD every weapon at her com.
mand without quarter, while the note
presented to the American state de.
partment says the same thing in soft

A PLEDGE OF SELF-DENIAL
Py DR.. W. ]. Tucker, Former President of
Dartmouth College.

The Liberty Loan is to be regarded as
more than a patriotic investment. Taken
in the intended meaning every bond be-
comes pledge of self-denial and econ
omy in behalf of the nation. What the
government wants is new money, money
saved, not simply money reinvested. The
Liberty Loan is the first step in training
generation to new habits, to new tastes
and desires, to new responsibilities in
view of the reaching necessities of
the nation. 1t makes its appeal to every
individual, and to every family above the
line of the living wage If one lacks
ready money and has a justifable credit
at a bank, let him borrow on short time
and pay out of the weekly or monthly
savings. 1t means everything that one
shall start at once, in some way of per-
sonal commitment, that habit of patriotic
thrift upon which the solvency of the
nation must henceforth depend.
