 MODIFY HER INTENTIONS.

Washington Feb. 3.--lt was ,repgzsse ed tonight in diplomatic quarters but unconfirmed in other American quar- ters that President Wilson. in adyis- ing neutrals of his act in severing diplomatic relations with Germany, has invited other neutrals to follow his course
 President Wilson's address to con gress today said he would expeoe- neutrals to follow his course if he found it necessary to take further steps to protect American rights.
 Officials tonight did not make clear whether the president expected the neutrals to follow his example in tha steps already taken or whether he ex- reced them to follow the steps the United States would take in the next eventuality.
 Some officials were inclined to ths belief that the president hoped that neutrals would by severing diplomatic relations make combined protest with the United States against the latest war zone decree The effect of a united neutral protest officials hoped would have the effect of modi- fying Germany's announced inten- tiOns

 The breaking off of relations came with crash despite the fact that it had been discounted and practically determined upon last night.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Two Washing ton newspaper men, J. Fred Essary, head of the Baltimore Sun Bureau. and w W. Price, white house cores pendent of the Washington Star, ad. mitted at the leak" inquiry today that on December 20 last they sup. piled advance forecasts of President Wilson's peace note of December 2f which eventually found their way to the office of E. F. Hutton X Co.,. New York brokers
 Essary swore that ii was solely through friendship for r. A. Connolly, a Washington broker. and partner Of R w. Boiling. brotherinlaw of President Wilson and without finan-
 ial gam, that he prepared the tele. sram. Connolly previously had testi- fled he wrote and sent to the Hutton house over his private wire Such in formation as the message contained, Essary said, ne gained from converse tiOns with other newspaper men and deductions he made from his knowl- edge of the international situation. He added that he was not one of the group of the correspondents contidcn- tially advised by Secretary Lansing that the note was coming.
 Price testified that he sent two messages to Chicago brokers, Fred erick A Aldrich. and Finley Barrell 6s Co.,. telling them he understood See retary Lansing was about to issue 2 statement" touching on peace. He said he was regularly employed to fur nish such information Both wenl to the same address as that of Clement, Curtis X Co., brokers, Chicago, and less than an hour later a message signed Clement" and using much of Prices language, was received by the Hutton offices in New York. Price insisted that his messages were based cn information he had received from other reporters. which he did not con- slider confidential and his own inter pretation of the situation.
 George A. Ellis, Jr., member of inc Hutton firm, supplemented the testimony of both Essary and Price. He wrote the warning message sent broadcast 10 Hutton's correspondents, which he based, it now develops, on Essary's information.
 Edwin Roper, telesrapher for Con nolly to whom Essary handed the forecast of the note, told today how Boiling had pleaded with him to tell the truth and set him right before the country. Boiling did not know the source of the note, he said, until within a few days
 For two weeks" said Roper, Boil ing was in tears. He said the public looked at him as though his sister had violated the confidence of the president. l have been wanting to come here but I turned back Then yesterday Boiling implored me again to come up and tell the truth you subpoenaed me. and here am. When left the office today Boiling said. God bless you

 American diplomatic interests in Berlin have been turned over 10 Spain German diplomatic interests in the United States have been taken over by Switzerland Foreign diplo- matic interests which the United States had in charge in Germany havc been turned over to various nemrals.
 Two years Of diplomatic negotiation marked with frequent crisis and ut tended with the loss of more than 200 American lives on the high seas have eliminated with an act which in all the history Of all the world has ai. the American government has been set in motion to protect the country against acts of German sympathizers. These motives arc Of necessity being kept secret.
 With the severance of the dlplo- matic relations the United States sent to Berlin a demand for the release of 64 Americans taken from ships cap tured by German raiders in the South Atlantic.
 At the request of the president, con gress, immediately after hearing his address. began work on new laws framed by the department of justice to check conspiracies and plots against the United States which can not now be reached under existing statutes
 The question of conveying Amer- can merchant ships through the sub' marine blockade has been takenNur and is being considered as one ot the next moves by this government

 Only the establishment of the eXact facts can determne whether the sinking of the ship was new attack on American rights or whether the case comes within the range Of other American ship carrying contrabad' destroyed in accordance with intena- tiona law and presenting a case to be settled under its precepts.
