BERLIN CALMLY
RECEIVES NOTE
Severance of Diplomatic
Relations Apparently
Expected.
CONSIDERATION is
SHOWN AMERICANS
No Act Of Unfriendly Nature To-
ward Citizens Of United States Now
in Germany Is Reported-Ber'in
Press Declares Germany Can Take
No Backward Step and Charges
President With Partisan Standpoint.

Berlin, via London, Feb. 6.-What-
ever may be their feelings toward the
United States, Germans in Berlin and
so far as has been heard outside the
capital, have manifested consideration
and courtesy toward Americans since
the news was received of the breaking
| off of diplomatic relations. Aside from
a frank reference to the occurrence,
no act of an unfriendly nature has
been reported.
The only incident reported has been
at a division of police headquarters
which is charged with viseing pass
ports to go abroad. Officials OF the
| division refused to wise passports uh-
! til holders were able to show steamer
| tickets to America. On the other mana
the police in the main residential dis"
tricts are accepting return to Amer
| lea" as an adequate reason for de-
i parture.
Rearet Wilson's Action.
Altho late this afternoon no oHlclai
confirmation had reached Berlin that
relations with the United States nao
been broken off, the text Of President
| Wilson's address removed all doubt IN
| the minds Of the public as well as IN
the official world as to the eXactness
Of earlier private information. For
eien Secretary Zomm erman made the
following statement:
1--WE regret this action by President
| Wilson all the more since against all
traditions and all international law we
are cut off from all direct communlca-
ton with the Atlantic world. We
also remember that American diplo-
mats have cared for German interests
by proxy in several hostile countries
with efficiency and great success.
The text Of the presidents message
in the absence Of other official docu-
ments has therefore been examined
most minutely. .s,3-.s.r5,... ty,..
AppreSiats coneiilatory Words.
"Haying no real reason for hostility
with the United States, remembering
.he traditional friendship which has
existed between the countries prac-
ticallv from the first days OF the
United States, we naturally appreciate
the words of a rather non-hostile char
acter which, among others Of different
character are found in that message
as transmitted by Reuters. In them
President Wilson gives assurances that
he wishes no hostile conflict with
Germany end can add that we ap-
preciate chs and other paragraphs In
the message.
"While we think to a certain extent
that we can see by what reasons
the United States government was
prompted to It's present attitude, on the
other hand we expect President Will
son, to the same extent, to recognize
the reasons for our action"
