Berlin, Tuesday, via London, Feb 2S
The prominence which Chancellor
Won Bethmann- -Hollweg gave in his
address to the reichstag today to dis
cussion Of the relations with the
United States is regarded as indicat-
ing his purpose to prepare the German
public for the eventuality which Is
looked forward to in many quarters.
There was much confusion Of opinion
on this point today in the absence OF
authenticated news from Washington.
The German press continues to serve
up fragamentary but sensational bulle-
tins indicating feverish war prepara-
tions in the United States. At this
hour it may be said a declaration of
war from Washington would find the
German mind quite prepared for it.
Less Of a ripple would be caused
here than was occasioned by Rou-
mania's entry into the war and a final
break with. the United States would be
met with stoical Indifference so far as
the public is concerned.
There is no feeling that crisis is at
hand, but merely an omnious tensity.
The nation is not pinning it's faith In
Its U-boats.

PenfieId Ready to Quit.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Complete ar

been made by Ambassador Penfieid

1t was learned yesterday that the
AMBASSADOR had been directed to take

evitable.
The Spanish government has been
asked to take over American interests
and plans have been made to expedite
the withdrawal Of all Americans If the
break occurs.
instructions Unchanged.
The last report from Ambassador
Penheld, brief cable received after
these Instructions were sent, sug-
gested a slight possibility that Aus
tria's reply to this governments aide
memoire. asking q definition of her
attitude in the submarine situation,
might be favorable. No real hope was
raised here, however, and no change in
instructions followed.
Pending a reply to the aide memoire,
the Austrian situation will remain in
the same indefinite state which has
characterized It since the day Of the
rupture with Germany. when e. note
similar, tho not identical to Germany s
submarine proclamation, was received
from Ambassador Penf1eld. Then the
aide memoire was sent asking for an
exact definition Of Austria's intentions,
because Of the difference between
American relations with that country
and those with Germany.
Tarnowski Awaiting.
The state department recently noti-
fed the Austrian embassy here that
Count Tarnow Tarnowski, the new
Austrian ambassador who landed at
New York the day the German procla-
nation was received, could not present
his credentials to President Wilson un-
til the issue between the two countries
was cleared up.
The feeling prevails here that while
both this country and Austria are seek
ing to avoid d break, Germany IS de-
termined that her ally shall support to
the greatest degree possible the sub
marine campaign. :

The letter to Mr. Lansing read il
part:

it is not time that the government
should take some definite action other
than windy words to prevent such oc-
currences. Inevitably the longer such
action is postponed. it seems to me. the
greater will be the penalty to be paid
