Berlin, Feb. 4 (via London, Feb.

American demands for the release
of the seventy-two Americans taken
from ships sunk by the raider in the
Atlantic and brought to German
port aboard the steamer Iarrow-
dale.
Berlin, Feb. 4 (by wireless to Say
ville). 49, press dispatches have
reached Berlin, according to which
diplomatic relations between Ger
many and the United States have
been broken cff," says the Overseas
News Agency. "No official confirma-
ton has been received.
"In case the news is correct adds
the agency, 1.-The general feeling IN
Germany is regret that the Ameri-
can President gave to the German
note an Interpretation which was not
intended by Germany.
"The German measures are not m
tended to damage neutrals, but were
caused by the necessity Of defending
Germany against hostile measures
which are contrary to international
law, Germany's enemies, therefore,
being charged with the whole re-
sponsibility."
Washington, Feb. 4.-Great sur
prise exists here over the fact that
up to tonight neither press reports
nor official dispatches have indicated
that Ambassador Gerard has asked
for his passports. His instructions
we're sent both by cable and wire
less, and there is no disposition to
doubt that he has received them and
acted accordingly. 1t is assumed
that the most rigid censorship is
being maintained in Germany.

ST. LOUIS MAY
SAIL TO-DAY
Franklin Says Depart
ure for Liverpool Is
Still "Up in the Air"

The American liner St. Louis may
sail for Liverpool to-day, ignoring
the rules and regulations laid down by
Germany as to when and how and
where the ships Of the United States
shall sail the high seas. Dispatches
from Washington asserted that she
would sail, that she would not be con-
voyed and that she would carry no
guns or other defence except the Stars
and Stripes at her stern.
p. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany, declared, however, upon his re-
turn yesterday from Washington,
where he consulted with Secretary
Lansing Of the State Department and
Postmaster General Burleson, that 1t
had not been decided whether the ves-
sci should put out.
"The question is still up in the air"
he said. "There has been no decision
as to whether sailing dates will be
postponed, cancelled. or allowed to
stand"
One report had it that not only
would the st. Louis sail as scheduled,
but that she would sail for Liverpool,
az has been customary since the port
of Southampton was closed TO merchant
shipping, regardless of the direction
of Germany that such American SHIPS
as might be permitted 70 visit Eng
land should use the port OF Falmouth;
Up TO late last night no effort had
been made TO put the liner IN the
painted suit Of stripes ordained by
imperial decree as the badge OF safety
for American ships.
No Escort by Warships.
II was also rumored that the st. Louis
would wait for a warship escort.
Washington dispatches asserted that
no escort would be provided, although
plans 20 protect American vessels were
under consideration. II was stated that
the ST. Louis had the permission OF the
state Department 70 sail, but that If
sbe did so il would not be upon the
advice of the State Department.
Mr.. Franklin was assured, 1t was
said. that the policy Of the state De-
rartment as 10 the departure OF AmeTi-
can vessels had not changed IN the
least because Of the German war zone
decree. but that the department could
not take the responsibility Of advising
that a vessel sail. That risk, the de-
partment believes, is rightly private
one.
DESPITE the conflicting and disquiet-
ing rumors, il was said that not II
passenger had cancelled his booking, or
the ST Louis. and that the number
might be increased because OF the delay
in sailing.
French Liner Sails
The French liner Rochambeau, laden!

and ffty-three steerage passengers,
among them being twcnty-six Amerl-

passengers, but since February ! there
were twenty-five cancellations.
Little or no demonstration attended
her departure. No one except ticket
holders, employees Of the line and men
from the neutrality squad OF the Gus

NEUTRALS WAIT FOR
U. S. TO ENTER WAR


London, Feb. Almost
the sole topic Of conversation
here to-day is the possible
effect that the action Of the
United States will have on
the European neutrals. The
turning point of the war has
come. London believes, and
quick action is expected.
At the same time. definite

trails are hardly likely until

from the United States, the feeling
there against the Germans is incom-
larably more bitter than the feeling
here against Americans" says dis
patch from Berlin.
London, Feb. 4.-Reuter's Am
sterdam correspondent says that,
while Berlin is preserving silence IN
regard to the rupture of relations
between Germany and the United
States, the German government has
issued the following statement:
1T is stated that negotiations are
afoot between the authorities inter-
ested concerning how Germany by
removing certain transport Difficult
ties can take into account the re-
ouirements of some neutral states IN
relation to essential raw materials,
especially coal and iron"
The two above messages from
Berlin, one by cable via London and
the other by wireless to Sayvllle,
are the first that have been received
from Germany since the break IN
diplomatic relations. Although un-
related in matter, it is possible that
they are related politically.
The one by cable via London tells
that the German Foreign Office has
released the seventy-two Americans
captured by a German commerce
raider. The demand for their re-
lease was made by the American
government several days before the
receipt of the German note OF Jan
uary 81, announcing a revival OF
unrestricted submarine warfare.
Thus now, subsequently to the break
in diplomatic relations, the German
government yields to a demand that
had been made before.
Strange Procedure
That is strange. This message
apparently originated in Berlin at 8
o'clock Sunday night. 1t reached
London about / o'clock this (Mon-
day. morning.
The wireless message from Berlin
was received at Sayville at 6:53
D. m. Sunday, nearly twenty-nine
hours after Ambassador Bernstorff
had received his passports from the
State Department at Washington.
II was the first word direct from
Germany since diplomatic relations
we're severed, and is strangely OBJ
lique.

Note Sent to Neutrals
The Presidents invitation to neutras to follow his action
was contained in instructions to American diplomats to
the break with Germany the governments to which
they are accredited contained in the following note
You will Immediately notify the government to which

German governments recent of its nten-
ton TO renew unrestricted submarine warfare mas no
choice but to follow the laid down in its note Of
April 18, 1916 (the Sussex note).
It has, therefore, recalled the American Ambassador
to Berlin and has delivered passports to the German Am
bassador to the United States.
Say also that the President is reluctant to believe
Germany actually will carry out her threat against

SHORT TIME ID
 RAE b|G STORE

Like, a mere toy in the hands of a giant was the old Boston Store build ing when the w. c. Rau Construction company started work on raging the structure Wednesday morning. Be- fore nightfall the building had been leveled and the large force of men were ready to start excavation work Thurs day morning.
 Circumstances will necessitate the employment of a large force of men throughout the day today. It has never been the custom to carry forward such work on Sundays, but because great loss will undoubtedly result un less preventive measures are com pleted today, it has been decided that a force should be engaged.
 Excavation work progressed to such an extent yesterday that it will be necessary to construct a retaining wall today to prevent hundreds of yards of sand from caving in from the streets.
 The Boston Store is now established in it's temporary quarters at 216-226 East Washington street. This tempor- ary home is proving satisfactory and convenient, despite the fact some little difficulty was experienced in finding room for the large stock.
