stated authoritatiyely here Tuesday
night that the next step Of the United

taken without addressing any inquiry
to Germany. II American lives or

Germans, action will follow as soon
as the fact is established to the pres
ident's satisfaction
Every phase OF the situation which
at any hour may bring the United
States to war with Germany was dis
cussed by President Wilson and his
advisers at Tuesdays cabinet meeting.
The faint hope that Germany after all
might modify her new submarine cam
paign so as to avoid making an active
enemy OF America was touched upon.
IS was the probable position of other
neutrals. But most Of the cabinets
attention was given to reports by each
member upon the energetic efforts OF
his department Of the government to
prepare for war if it is to come.
