PEACE NEARER,
BRITISH BELIEVE
American Break Expected
to Hasten Finish-Famine
Growing in Germany
By FRANCIS W. HlRST
fBy Gable 70 Tire Trbunel

London. Feb. 6.-Neither the City nor
the public generally can tell where the
new situation will lead or what effect
the American rupture with Germany
will have upon the duration of the war.
Most people whom ! meet think that
somehow it will expedite the finish.
The neutral world will hardly endure
this monstrous accession of misery.
Whether Germany climbs down or not,
the argument runs, she will soon be
forced TO offer terms which the Allies
can accept.
Meanwhile we expect the discomforts
and privations Of war to increase. To-
day another arose, when it was an
nounced that .ae price of bread had
been boosted 10 II pence a quarter LOAF,
exactly double the price asked in Au-
gust, 1914.
I hear from good American source
that the German people are now prob
ably on a diet 40 per cent below nor
NAL. and that the famine throughout
Central Europe is likely to increase
steadily.
Viscount Duncannon. chairman OF
the Tariff Reform League, has sent out
a letter TO women throughout the coun-
try asking for financial support against
the policy of an open door after the
war. He says: I'VE are issuing ltera-
ture and preparing TO hold meetings all
over the country 10 counteract the
propaganda 20 surrender 20 Germany.
We are out 10 do so by supporting the
British government in its adhesion TO
the policy OF the Paris conference and
By urging upon it the necessity Of put
ting that policy into operation without
delay"
Until the situation clears it is use
less to discuss finance. The stock mar
kets are marking time, the only feat
ure being the general decline Of Sean
dinavian and other neutral bonds. Cot
ton is rising and the timber trade has
been placed under government control.

Wilson PrO-BritiSh.
Says Vienna Paper

Vienna. Feb. 6.--ln its comment on
the recent action by the United States
the "Neue Freie PTesse" says:
president Wilson acts as If sub
marine warfare were bolt from the
something entirely due 10 lust
for destruction. Has he forgotten what
the Entente has done TO provoke the
Central Powers? Has he forgotten
that it openly declared 20 The world
that Australia Hungary must perish and
the German political power be crushed!
Honest recognition Of submarine
warfare would have been his best
course. He failed to take advantage OF
the opportunity. In his heart he IS
siding with the Entente and calls upon
other neutrals to follow him. This
ruse has small chance Of success"
The press agrees in asserting that
the United States by joining the war
will take on It's shoulders blame OF the
heaviest sort for the continuation o.
the war. but adds that such action
cannot alter the situation, as the Cen
trail Powers have considered all eTen,u-
alties.

Bread Cards in Holland;
Secret Protest Sent Berlin

The Hague, Feb. ct is known that
Holland has protested strongly against
Germsny's decree of unrestricted sub
marine warfare, but the press is silent
as 10 the governments action. The
Foreign Office refuses TO give any de-
tails as TO the course adopted by the
administration.
A bread card system went into OPP
GRAFTON to-day throughout The Neither
lands. A central bread bureau will
control the distribution Of all bread

Premier Cort van der Linden made
the following statement in the second
chamber of the Dutch Parliament to-
day:
Serious events occupy the govern
ments attention. At the present mo-
ment it is impossible to give informa-
ton regarding them, but the govern
ment will not neglect to give the cham
her information 80 soon as eXpedlent.
There is no reason at this moment Tor

Swiss, in Self-Defence,
Reported Against Break

London. Feb. 6.-Switzerland, says a
Berne dispatch given out by The Wire
less Press to-day, has sent negative
reply TO President Wilson's invitation
to follow the lead of the United States
in breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany.
Geneva, Feb. 6.-President Wilson's
special note 70 the Swiss government
inviting il TO join the United States in
action regarding Germany was dis
cussed at length yesterday at an ex.
traordinary meeting OF the ederal
Council. The text Of the Swiss reply
has been telegraphed to Washington,
and will be published here as soon as
received by President Wilson.
The Swiss Telegraphic Agency says
that the report that Switzerland will
take charge of German and Austrian
interests in the United States is prema-
ture. although the Federal Council
probably will accept the task.
Swiss opinion continues strongly to
support President Wilson's action.
THAT, however, is not a reason 10
prevent Switzerland from protesting
strongly 70 Berlin and Vienna against
measures which threaten neutral COM
merce. and there is no doubt that the
Federal Council will make its voice
