Washington. Feb. 12.-How soon will

mand of business and commerce. ply
the seas in defiance CT the SO called
German blockade, as if it did not exist?
On the answer to this question may
depend the time when war breaks with
Germany.
TIL ee things became plain today:
First, the president will decide to go
to congress and ask appropriations for
American protection if an American
ship with American life is destroyed.
but it is not certain he would do it
otherwise: second, the government is
firm in its policy not to convoy Ameri-
can ships: third, the government is not
holding American ships in port, and
they are free to go, and if they do go
and take the chances of the seas and
are wantonly attacked the long arm
of Uncle Sam will do whatever is nee
essary to protect American interests.
More than ever il is plain the presi-
lent will go to war, as into a state of
war. only in case of a fragrant outrage
which would unity or tend to unity

which it has always been accustomed to
exercise, of action in those cases where
brazilian interests are at stake. The

tinuaIly in economic relations by foreign

the imminent menace which it contains of
the unjust sacrifice of lives, the deStruc-
ton of property, and the wholesale dis
turbance of commercial transactions.
in such circumstances and while OBJ
serving always and invariably the am

having examined the tenor of the German
note, declares that it cannot accept as eff

For these reasons the Brazilian gov
rnment in spite OF it's sincere and keen
desire to avoid any disagreement with
the nations at war and with whom 1t is
on friendly terms, believes it to be its
duty to protest against this blockade and
consequently to leave entirely with the
German government the responsibility for

are proven to ave been committed in
disregard of the recognized principles of

abandoning all restrictions observed up
