In face of tuIs situation, the effect
of which has travelled clear back to
the middle west, where the export
wheat is pIIIng up, unable to move,
the Administration is said to feel that
1t cannot avoid the decision much
longer, especially since Congress ad-
journs a week from tomorrow.
At the same time there Is consid-
cradle anxiety in official quarters
that no false Interpretation be placed
upon whatever steps the President is
about to take. J. is reiterated over

1t is thought not unlikely that the

he desires to take, will refer to the
circumstances connected with the

Receipt of unfavorable news from
Vienna concerning the attitude of
Austria in response to the specific
inquiries of the United States regard
ing her adherence to the German de-
cree, is believed to have fastened the
decision Of the Administration to
sever relations with that country.
Officials of the State Department;
to be sure, refused to comment on re-
ports that Germany had Informally
protested against the EFFORTS of the
United States to draw Austria away
from the new German submarine pol
icy, or declared that they know moth
ing about it.
1t is a fact, however, that Ambas-
sador Penfleld at Vienna was in
structed to present an aide memoire
demanding a categorical answer from
Austria, and there were indications
that the response he obtained re-
moved all doubt as to Austria's inten-
tions to stand with her ally.
Due In Few Days.
At all events officials did not deny
that a break with Austria may be
looked for within the next two or
three days.
The entire situation was to be thor
Qughly canvassed at this afternoons
meeting of the Cabinet. President
Franklin, of the American Line
Steamship Company, has succeeded in
placing the issue sQuarely up to the
Administration as to whether the Gov.

Big Leagues Will
Play 40 Games in
Next Seasons Race

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. %. = Presi-
dent johnson of the American league
today announced that next season the
league schedule would be cut from
1874 to 40 games. He said the season
would begin about April 81 or May l
and end the middle if September.
Il have always thought 154 games
were too many" said Johnson. Each
year 1 have contended 140 games
made the ideal schedule, but as senti-
ment among the magnates did not
seem to favor my idea, l never press
ed the point. The shortening next
season is in no wise war move, al
though I think the war provides a
good reason for inaugurating the plan.
Details Up at Meeting
"Of course, details will have to be
worked out at the annual league meet
ing in Chicago. / do not think the
shortening of the schedule will entail
reduction of the player limit.
"The new schedule of 140 games
will enable the teams to get later
start to training camps, and this also
will be a big factor, as it frequently
has been too cold in the south to do
much training when the teams arrive
in February"
August Hermann, chairman of the
national commission and president of
the Cincinnati Nationals. in letter to
st. Louis newspaper said he favored
a 140 game schedule.
