A dispatch from Berlin today quoted

OFFICIALS At WASHINGTON FEAR
SINKING OF LINER WILL
LEAD TO WAR.
AWAITING FULg REPORT
AS TO CIRCUMSTANCES
Slight Hope Hold Out That Mitigation
viii Be Shown-Question Of Warning
to Play Prominent Part in Oetermin- y
ing Action by United States-News
Comes as President Finishes Message

Washington, Feb. 27.-- Grave fears
the sinking of the Cunard liner La
coma might be the dread covert act
which Will plunge the United States
and Germany into war. First reports
indicate that the ship was unwarned
that it was unarrned, and that Ameri-
can citizens, if not killed, We're placed
in jeopardy of their lives.
If these reports be true. Germany has
brought about a repetition of the Lusi-
tania case and has strained the pa
thence Of the United States to the
breaking point. Altho the loss of life
on the Laconia can not be nearly so
great, the fact remains that the intent
and purpose on the part of Germany
was the same In both cases and it had
the same effect.
Officials Await Reports.
Officials of the state department
went to their homes last night only
after asking to be advised Immediately
on the receipt of any news from the
survivors of the Laconia. The great
est interest attaches to these survivors,
since the absence from the list of a
single American passenger may be the
means of bringing about war.
News of the sinking of the Laconia
was received in Washington not five
minutes after the president had fin
ished his address to congress in which
he asserted that the overt act" had
mot yet been committed by Germany.
irSi inc a n n f..
ficials were inclined to minimize the
sinking as they have minimized others
which time has proved to be of little
significance. But when more details
came in, showing that the ship carried
ten or twelve Americans, any or all OF
whom might have been drowned, this
feeling gave way to one of gloom.
Mitigation Hope Slight.
There is yet hope that the life of no
American might have been taken in
3 e sinking of the Laconia. There Is
yet hope that the circumstances might
have been such as to mitigate the act
For instance, the ship might have been
warned despite early press reports TO
the contrary; the crew and passengers
might have had time, to take to the
lifeboats. and the lives of all the Amer
lean passengers might have been saved.
However, it is admitted that there Is
no sign of encouragement in the hrst
reports. That several persons were
killed indicates that the ship was sunk
before the passengers and crew were in
the lifeboats, which is. in turn, an in
dication that there was no warning
Question Of Warning Raised.
If the ship received ample warning
and the passengers and crew had
ample time to take to the boats. then
there can be no further protests, out
side of the fact that the passengers
were put in open boats many miles
from shore.
But If the ship was torpedoed with
out warning and American lives were
sacrificed to German ruthlessness. then
there seems to be no. other way out
than to recognize the sinking as the
preparation of the overt act" Pre-
lirninary reports indicated this to be
true.

This recipe had proved so effective IN
