WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-After con-
ference today between President Wilson and Sec
rotary Lansing, over the ominous tone of relations
with Germany caused by her reversion to ruthless
ness at sea- the opinion this afternoon Is general IN
official quarters that break of diplomatic rela-
lions with Germany IS inevitable.
J It is thought probable that an ultimatum or
warning to Berlin will precede this action, as the
United States cannot consent to abide by the atti
tude Germany has taken and will probably so
notify Berlin.
The view is taken that the United States cannot
let the situation stand unchallenged.
Congress, recognizing the gravity of the. inter-
national sitnation. showed no inclination today to
arouse any discussion on the acute Issue the
president is forming his course Of action
Many members declare unofficially that they
believe the president will probably address Con-,
gress SOON, to acquaint it not only with his own
intent but with the negotiations which have pre-
coded the crisis..s
