GERMANY COMPLACENT
AS WAR CLOUD GROWS
Will Not Be Greatly Excited
at Declaration of Hos
tilities.

Berlin, Feb. 81, via London, Feb.
%, noon.-The prominence which
Chancellor Won ollWeg
gave in his address to the Reichstag
today to discussion of relations with
the United States is regarded here as
indicating his purpose to prepare the
German public for the eventually
which is looked forward to in many
quarters. There was much confusion
of opinions and prophesies on this
point, on account of the continued alb
sence of authenticated news from
Washington, as we'll as the reports
which are being received in regard
to the state of public opinion in Amer
lea.
The German press continues to
serve up fragmentary but sensational
bulletins indicating feverish war prep
arations 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 Rumania's
entrance in the war and a final break
with the United States would be likely
to meet with stoical Indifference so far
as the public at large is concerned.
There is no feeling that crisis is at
hand, but merely nervous tension
which has been gathering intensely.
The nation is now pinning it's faith
to it's U-bOats.

FOUR AMERICAN CONSULS
PRISONERS OF GERMANY
Berlin Retaliates for Alleged
Detention of Consul Muel-
Ter at Havana, Acting I'm
der Mistaken Conclusion.

Washington, Feb. 2S.--Four Amer
lean consuls are being detained in
Germany, while the Berlin govern
ment awaits official advices that all
German consuls in this country, or
dered to Central and South America,
have been permitted to proceed
The German governments action is
based on circumstances which con-
Germ the alleged detention by the
United States of Consul Mueller at
Havana, Cuba, while he was on his
way from Atlanta to Quito, Ecuador
The American consuls detained in
Germany are: Consul Henry c.. A
Damn, transferred from Acchen to
Harput, Turkey; Consul John @.
Wood, transferred from Chemnitz. to
Messina; Vice Consul w. Bruce Wal
lace, transferred from Magdeburg to
Constantinople, and Vice Consul c.
Inness Brown transferred from Mann
helm to Constantinople.
Two notes have been received from
the German government on the sub
ject, the first a week ago, charging
that the United States had detained
Mueller at Havana and second today
asking for a reply to the first and also
containing a statement on charges
that American consuls and their wives
departing from Germany had been
subjected to indignities. 1t added that
as soon as Mueller has been allowed
to proceed, the American consuls
could go on.
That the German government has
been misinformed regarding Consul
Mueller and other German consuls
formerly stationed in the United
States is certain. The departure of
none has been hindered by this gov
eminent.

Hoy to Fight for Revenge

Washington, Feb. 2s.-President
Wilson has received the following
cablegram from Austin Y. How.
whose mother and sister were lost
when the Laconia was torpedoed with
warning by a German submarines:
Il am an American citizen, repre-
senting the Sullivan Machinery COM
pany of Chicago, living abroad, not as
an expatriate but for the promotion of
American trade. I love the flag, be-
lieving in it's significance. My beloved
mother and sister, passengers on the
Laconia, have been foully murdered
on the high seas
GAS an American citizen outraged
and, as such, fully within my rights
and as an American son and brother
bereaved, call upon my government to
preserve it's citizens self respect and
save others of my countrymen from
such deep grief as 1 now feel. I am
of military age, able to fight. If my
country can use me against these
brutal assassins, 1 am at it's call.
IF it denies my manhood and my
nationality by being passive under
outrage, I shall seek a mans chance
under another flag"

MURDER IN BRIDGEPORT
Cambridge, Mass, Man Foud Dead
in Pool of BlOod-RObbery Is Mo-
tive Advanced by Police.

Bridgeport, Feb. 2S.-Louis M
Humphreys of As Cedar street, Cam
bridge, Mass, was found dead, face
downward in pool of blood outside
of the house at 2,156 Seaview avenue
where he had hired room yesterday
on his arrival from Cambridge.
Humphreys. it is understood intend
ed working in an ammunition plant
here and was accompanied to this
city by William Cunning, also of Cam
bridge. Humphreys left the house
this morning. Miss Lillian May, a
roomer in the same house, told the
police that she heard men arguing in
a heated fashion a few minutes after
the front door closed. A Remington
Arms company private guard found
Humphreys body in the gutter soon
afterward.
The police are acting on the theory
that Humphreys was murdered and
robbed. Cunning told the police that
Humphreys had been a sufferer from
heart trouble and had postponed
coming to this city two months ago
because of an attack of heart disease.
