WAR SITUATION.

The United States Senate Endorsed the
Presidents action breaking OFF diplo-
matte relations with Germany. 1t was
announced officially that the President
would only regard an overt act against
American shipping on the high sea, in
accordance with the announced Ger
man submarine policy, as cause Tor
further action-a request to Congress
for the use of force to protect American
lives and rights. Neutral nations or
Europe contented themselves with pro-
tests against the German submarine
warfare, without breaking Off relations;
South American nations indicated their
support of the United States in case
their ships or nationals suffered. Prep
arations for the return of former Am
bassador Won Bernstorff. his staff and
German consuis to Germany were made
aboard the steamer Frederick VII,
from New York; France and England
promised safe conduct. 1t was re-
ported that Germany was delaying the
departure Of American AMBASSADOR a,p
Gerard. pending assurances OF the
safety of her diplomatic representa-
tives Sinking twenty-one ships in
forty-eight hours in the estaollshed
zone about Great Britain and France,
the German submarine warfare as
sumed the proportions promised by the
German announcement. Crews OF Ger
man vessels interned or in asylum in
the United States made efforts to dam
age the machinery or scuttle the ships;
measures were taken to guard them
against damage. Germany released
American prisoners taken from cap,
tured ships on demand of the United
States government, the last diplomatic
act between the two nations. Henry
Ford and other. manufacturers offered
the use Of their plants to the United
States government for war purposes.
