JAPANESE MISSION
Sees MRS. WILSON
Viscount Ishn Calls on First Lady
at White House.

The Viscount Ishii, head OF the
japanese Mission, continues to smile
and bow and refuse to talk business.
Yesterday he made a formal call
upon Mrs. Wilson at the White
House at 40. and this evening he
and the mission will be the guests
az garden party Secretary OF State
and Mrs. Lansing will give in the
beautiful Aztec gardens of the Pan
American Union Building.
1t Is generally expected that the
special mission. in company with the
Ambassador Of Japan, Mr.. Sato. will
take up the question of Japan's need
for steel with the new exports ad-
ministrative board during the week.
One Of the reasons for the endow-
ment OF this board with complete
power, 1t is believed, was in order to
simplify the task OF the japanese in
presenting their case and getting a
decision on it.

moment arrives, a blow more crushing
than any he has so far struck. There
is more than one indication that this
blow will be drive toward the plains
of Vienna as soon as open warfare
has been forced. Trieste is still the
aim in the south and the Italians are
expected TO run down shortly the last
barrier. Hermada Ridge. But the
large, more decisive object of the
present drive is believed to be a cam
paign against the Austrian capital.
New disaster threatens Russia's
southern armies as a result of new
cowardice and detection at the front.
In the very hour when Gen. Korniloff
fired the Moscow congress with the
promise to restore absolute discipline
by rule of blood and iron, Russian
troops protecting the BessarabIan
border. frightened by Teuton artillery
fire. left their trenches and fed across
the Rakitna River without being at all
attacked.
All the reserve contingents mass
ed to back up the front lines scat
tered in panic. The Teutons took
quick advantage of this convenient
withdrawal and pressed hard on the
heels of the deserting Slavs. As a
result. the most fertile province of
| Russia, with its huge ripening har-
vests. is Immediately menaced by
invasion.
Berlin announces the capture of
more than 1000 prisoners on this
front, and says the Russians have
been thrown back behind the Rak-
tina River sector. The safety of the
Russian southern army. and Incl
dentally of the Rumanians in Mol
davia, is once more seriously threat
ened by Russian army dissolution.
Details regarding the extent of this
new disintegration are still lacking,
but the official admissions from
Petrograd indicate an ominous state
of affairs.
Teuton Attacks Fail.
This was the first quiet day on
the western front in many weeks.
There were only local encounters, both
the British and French registering
gains. Sir Douglas Haigs troops yes
terday pushed ahead after hard fight
ing northeast of Ypres on a front of
2.O0O yards astride the St Julien-Poel-
capelle road. They bit themselves fur
ther into the German third-line de-
fense system. Two Teuton attacks on
in their incipiency.
Berlin admitted today 'insignif-
cant" British gains to the northeast
of Frezenberg on the Flanders front.
The situation at Verdun is stationary,
for the time being at least.
The French beat off two German
local attacks east of the Meuse.
Otherwise there were no infantry ac-
tions on this front, but the gun
duels were violent.
North of the Aisne the French bar
rage fire was so crushing that it en-
tirely spoiled a German plan to make
the night one of lively lombard
ment and possibly infantry assaults.
French raiding parties penetrated
German trenches at Butte de Souain.
German scouting parties elsewhere
were broken up.

, minutes. but then pressure began to slacken little and the market. though fluctuating violently for the next quarter of an hour. was less onesided.
 Further stability resulted also from wholesale profit taking by traders who of late had been plunging heavily on the bear side of the market. Another influence toward the return of com parative confidence was the announce ment that after having been tied up over night the traffic in and out of New York harbor had been resumed.
 Some idea of the magnitude of the interests affected by today's violent setback in prices may be gained from estimates which were current tonight that a single firm here has sold short within the last few weeks nearly 20, GOO. 900 bushels of wheat. Another concern was said to have purchased alone 5000 GOO bushels today Corn and oats gave way and rallied in line with wheat The fact that neither of the coarse grains is expected to nearly as great a degree as bread stuffs prevented such sensational ac ton as was shown by the more ex- pensive cereals.
 Provisions shared in the general weakness.

WHAT IS COMING? GERMANY DISCOUNTS
 AMERICA AT WAR
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. Feb. That un- restricted submarine warfare is al most certain to bring the United States into the war. has been the talk in Germany for months. It was said this would never be adopted by Ger many except as q last act Of despera- tion. German papers have said Ger many would not dare oppose neutral opinion unless she were willing to have the rest of the neutral world added to her enemies.
 Two opposing views Of American hostilities have been allowed to pass the German censor The first was that the harm the United States could do Germany as an active enemy was no greater than as neutral supplying munitions and loans to the allies and that the crippling of allied shipping would be the turning point of the war. This apparently is the view now adopted The other view, known to have been held by some high officials here. was that Germany might in desperation seek to involve the United States as an actual enemy on the ground that her influence at the peace conference would be generous one.
 What May Be Coming.
 Officials here. stunned at the sud denness of the German action. do not hesitate to reveal their disquietude over the mental unpreparedness of the American public for what may be coming.
 Revulsion is expected to take place in the entente nations with the re- suit that the world war will enter a period of frightfulness unimagined heretofore. With the massing of the huge offensives by land and the an nouncement of ruthlessness by sea, of ficials look forward to at least a

HERE ARE BOUNDARIES
 OF FORBIDDEN ZONE
(By Review Leased Wire.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The for bidden area for neutral vessels under Germany's warning is bounded by a line running from practically the cen ter of The Netherlands coast north ward. blockading all Denmark and the entrance to the Baltic, to the outside point of Norway, thence due west skirting the southern part of the Farce Islands: then west and then south in a grand square 300 to 400 the junction of Spain and Portugal, apparently leaving the latter country open and affording a 20 mile safety zone along the northern Spanish coast to the French border.
 Practically the whole Mediterranean is declared dangerous except mar row strip almost paralleling the Afri- can coast to point directly south of Greece from which a 40 mile path to Greek territorial waters is declared open.
 Germany's solicitude for Greece was interpreted in some quarters here as indicating that despite the Greek ac- ceptance of the allied demands Ger many still hopes for a change in the in that country. At present, however. this access to Greece is of little value, that country still is blockaded by the allies.

NEW YORK. Feb. The stock market was put to another supreme test Of it's endurance today. Ger many's unexpected announcement of her intention to renew submarine op- erations on a broader and more un- restricted scale causing an al laround shrinkage of quoted values.
 Selling was at it's height in the first hour when the trading was of frenzied character and lowest prices were made Rallies of one to five points. with as much as ten for Utah Copper. were registered before mid day, but recurreut liquidation took place after o'clock driving prices back to or near initial minilnums.
 The movement lacked the enorm- ous individual offerings of last De cember's feverish markets. Except for United States Steel and some of the metals, declines while extensive in the aggregate were on an orderly basis after the early outburst which probably represented involuntary un- loading of margined or speculative accounts.
 The further selling of the final hour derived impetus from rumors that sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany would be announced later in the day. With few exceptions, ev- cry stock in the active list declined measurably under the low prices of last month. including L. s. Steel. which fell 10 99 and closed at 102& a net loss of 9l4 points in sales ap- proximating 60O.O00 shares. or about 90 per cent of the total operations of 2.100OOO shares.
 Bethlehem Steel broke 36 points and rallied 10. shippings lost 10 to IS. making only feeble rallies and rails at gross concessions of three to seven points, closed mostly at low est levels.
 Little attention was paid to the weakness of foreign exchange with marked concessions in rates on Der lin and Vienna and a new record for lire. or Italian remittances.
 Virtually every international bond of the isues resulting from the war sold at lowest prices since their flo tation in this market, Paris 6s break ing 2ls points. with American-foreign security 5s down l%s.

CHICAGO Feb. 1-Breaks that were foreseen to be inevitable today in the price Of wheat turned out to be much worse than had been gen eraliy looked for but the downward plunge of the market was. ended far quicker than most traders were eX- pecting. Solely as the result of Ger many's notice of sea wal without lim- it. wheat values made an instanta- neous sheer descent oi 154 cents. Within 20 minutes, however, the mar ket had rebounded niae cents, selling of a panic sort was on and trade kept on the inside Of a five-cent range. closing unsettled, 1; to s: net lower. with May at 1631s to l63il and July at 141ls to,1415s.

 Tension at the outset in the wheat pit appeared to be of q nerve racking character seldom if ever equaled in change in Chicago. Every foot of standing room from the top step down to the center of the closely packed crowd was occupied. and scores of brokers were literally standing OF tip toas eager to -aii at the first clanc of the gong The strain of the wait for the signal proved too great to be altogether withstOod. and just before the bell sounded one perspiring trad CT shrieked sell May at 65."
