London, Feb. e. Extra ordinary
councils of the ministers were held on
Sunday and at noon Monday, accord
ing to a Reuters dispatch from The
Hague. The conferences while a con-
tinuation of the sessions not conclud-
ed owing to the late closing of par
lament also dealt with the develop
ments of the foreign situation. 1t is
semi officially stated that these coun-
ellis need not cause any uneasiness.
The Nieuw Rotterdamsche Courant,
which expresses the fullest confidence
in the government complains that the
country does not know the stand
point of the administration. The
Courant expresses surprise at Pres
ident Wilson's statement in regard to
other neutral powers following the
example of the United States and
asks whether the presidents expecta-
ton is based on foreknowledge or
merely supposition. 1t adds:
I'VE do not know the attitude nor
the action of our government on the
question of ruthless submarine war
/ fare, but it may yet inevitably view
matters from a different angle than
that of the United States" The paper
then compares Americas abundance
of grain, coal and steel. A COMPARE
son is also made between Holland's
contiguous position to Germany with
an open eastern frontier as compared
with Americas rem oteness from the
war arena, and the paper concludes
| that the Dutch government must CON
slider factors that do not exist in
America and which may modify its
! decision.

there will be no sunshine. The tenn

The lowest temperature Monday
night was 30 degrees at 10 o'clock.
This is IL degrees above the normal
for that date and is normal for April.
The mercury had climbed to 80 at
$3.50 o'clock this morning and was ex-
pected to reach a point between As

making eight miles an hour from the
southwest this morning.
The shippers forecast reads to pro-
tect 36-hour shipments north and west
against temperatures of 20 degrees;
east and south, rs degrees. The low
est reading here will be about %, Mr..
Flora said today, and tomorrow the
mercury probably will not climb above
35 or 40 degrees. Temperatures in
the northwest Monday night were as
high as in Kansas so there is no bad
weather on the way. The sky was
cloudy this morning over most of the
country.
The highest temperature on record
for this date is II degrees, established
in 1904. The low record, below
zero, occurred in 1905. The moon is
full tonight and shines turnout the
night but it probably will be obscured

of the German foreign office, or its
ENJOYS, allied diplomats declared to-
day.
The first, these allied reports said,
was calm belief that Belgium
would not fight.
The second was a similar belief
that England would not join
France and Russia.
The third was her belief that the
United States would continue to
merely protest and that President
Wilson would not break off rela-
lions.
These diplomats said they would not
be surprised if Germany makes her
fourth diplomatic blunder by believ-
ing the United States will not go to
actual war if she endangers or de-
stroys American life or property thru
insistence in carrying out her new
U-boat warfare.
