NEWS OF RUPTURE
REACHES TRENCHES
Tommy Atkins Not Surprised
by Presidents Action,

With the Armies in France, Feb. 4,
via London, Feb. s. Staff Correspond
ent of the Associated Press.-Only
the briefest possible announcement of
the break between the United States
and Germany was made in the wire
less news being distributed to the
British armies today and even this
came late in the afternoon. 1t will be
another day before the full import of
the news percolates through the vast
army organization and it's effect is
noted.
President Wilson'S action, it can be
B., definitely stated did not come as a
surprise, but nevertheless there was a
feeling. of relief that the tension was
ended and that America was morally,
if not physically, ranged against Ger
many. Officers exchanging messages
over the network of the army tele-
phones tonight helped to spread the
news, and comments of satisfaction
were generally heard.
The army. believes that other neu-
trails will follow Americas lead and
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1917-02-05

that Germany will soon find herself
literally opposed to the entire world
outside of her allies. The British off,
GERS believe that the news of the
breach with the United States Will
have a deletrious effect on German
morale and that efforts may be made
by Berlin to prevent it reaching the
fighting units. The opinion is held
here that the American action will
necessarily hasten the end of the
war but the difficulties facing America.
in the event of her actually entering
the war are fully recognized. Even if
the United States joins the ranks of
the belligerents it is not expected that
American troops would possibly be
sent to Europe before the end Of the
war which is confidently expected to
come this year.
The psychological effect on Ger
many of being cut off from her last big
friend among the nations is the prin-
cipal consideration with the military
observers who are convinced that this
effect will be very great. While there
is no thought that President Wilson's
action can result in any immediate
military assistance the news from
Washington has been received in the
British trenches as the best tidings
that have reached the fighting line in
a long time.

WARNING IS GIVEN
AMERICAN VESSEL
U-Boat ToWs Crew Ninety Miles
to Safety

London, Feb. >5-Germany's pledges
to the United States were not VIC
lated by the commander of the Ger
man submarine that torpedoed the
American steamship Housatonic.
The ship was warned, the crew
had plenty of time to leave her and
the submarine towed them to safety.
The crew, half of them Americans.
are at Penzance.
How carefully the German subma-
rine commander avoided any act that
might cause war between Germany
and the United States is indicated by
the following despatch from Plym-
outh:
''The thirty-seven members of the
crew Of the Housatonic have been
landed at Penzance. on the southern
Cornwall coast. A German submarine
stopped the steamer Saturday noon
and ordered the crew to abandon the
ship. The crew took refuge in three
boats, which the submarine towed for
an hour and a half. The submarine
then fired a signal to attract the at
tention of a British patrol boat. The
submarine then submerged and the
patrol boat took the crew aboard and
landed them at Penzance.'
john U. stevens, american COllSul
at Plym outh, has wired the same &C
count of the sinking to Consul-Gen-
eral Sk:nne,'. He also sent the fol-
lowing telegram:
Total crew of 81 of Housatonic
landed at Penzance Saturday. Vessel
torpedoed by a German submarine
1890 Saturday. Warned. Grew towed
ninety minutes by submarine toward
land
Whom the submarine hailed her the
Housatoni was flying the American
flag and had the American colors
painted on her side, according to a
dispatch to the Central News. The
Germans gave the crew an hour in
which to leave the ship.
The submarine commander said:
Il have orders to sink every vesse,
coming into England"
The German sailors searched the
Housatonic and took a quantity of
soap which they said was difficult to
obtain. The second mate of the
Housatonic was second mate of the
American steamer Gulflight when
that vessel was sunk by a German
submarine off the Scilly Isles early in
the war.

WASHINGTON QUIET
Secretary Andrews Found People Very
Calm Over International Crisis
Discusses Daylight Saving.


Secretary A. H. Andrews of the
Chamber of Commerce resumed his
duties at the local office today, after
attending the annual meeting of the
National Chamber Of Commerce in
Washington, D. c., during the past
week. He stated today that despite
the spirit of unrest that exists over
the International crisis involving the
United States and Germany, the peo-
pie of the nations capital were very
reserved and the seriousness OF the
situation does not seem to dawn on
them. The farther north a traveller
reaches, Mr.. Andrews observed, the
situation is being grasped more read
lily. The action of congress in acting
slowly is in accord with Mr.. Andrews
views of solving the situation, al
though he feared that some of the
hotheads in that body would ask for
drastic measures without first clearly
sizing up the situation.
Numerous matters Of importance
were transacted at the annual conven-
ton, one that absorbed much atten-
ton being the report of Robert Gar
land on the daylight saving plan, for
which a committee has been investi-
eating for some time. The report was
submitted to the board Of directors
who may decide on issuing referenda
to the various chambers throughout
the country for action. Owing to the
severance of diplomatic relations with
Germany entailing their time, Presl-
dent Wilson, Secretary Baker and
General Wood were forced to cancel
the speaking engagements before the
convention.
The subcommittee in charge of
the annual dinner will meet this
week. Although no definite date has
been set, it is believed that arrange
ments can be perfected to hold the
event early in March,
