Experts Dig Up Many Cases
Which Are Similar to the Sit
uation Now Existing Between
United States and Germany.
BREAK IN PAST HAS NOT
ALWAYS BROUGHT ON WAR
First Case Discovered When John
Quincy Adams Was President,
and American Ambassador Re-
turned from Brazil.


Washington. Feb. 3.-precedont for
the severance OF diplomatic relations

tween lesser neutral nations and first
class powers and lesser ones. The
United states suspended diplomatic
relations with Mexico and only recent

When John quincy Adams was
president the American charge DAT
faires at Rio demanded his passports

without Instructions because he con-
sidered unwarrantcd .he capture OF
American ships by brazilian war ves-
sells enforcing "A blockade.
Great Britain suspended diplomatic
relations with Venezuela for ten
years. from 1851 TO 1897 and suspend
ed diplomatic relations With serbia
from 1908 to l9eG after the murder OF
King Alexander and Queen Draga.
After the breaking of diplomatic re-
lations comes the possibility OF other
measures termed 'non-amicable
modes Of redress which also are
measures short Of war
These modes Of redress may include
reprisals retailations. uon-intercourse
and display of force and still there
