more than two hours with the propa-

than that the President had assured

Berlin, Feb. q (yia London) -
The prominence which Chancellor
Won Bethmann-iIollweg gave in his
address to the Reichstag to discus
sion of relations with the United
States is regarded here as indicating
his purpose to prepare the German
public for the eventuality which is
looked forward TO in many quarters,
There was much confusion of opin-
ions and prophecies on this point on
account of the continued absence Of
authenticated news from Washington,
as well as the reports which are be-
ing received in regard to the state
of public opinion in America. The
German press continues to serve up
fiagmentary but sensational bulle-
Tins indicating feverish war prepare
tons in the United States
1t may be said that declaration OF
war from Washington would find the
German mind quite prepared for It.
Less of ripple would be caused here
than was occasioned by Rumania's
entrance in the war, and a final
break with the United States would
be likely to meet with stoical indif-
ference so far as the public at large
