No "overt Act. "

WASHINGTON, Feb Secretary
Lansing today authorized the follow,
ing statement:
Il am very loath to believe that
the German government Intentionally
is OBTAINING Mr.. Gerard in Berlin on
any excuse whatsoever | should be
very much surprised if such course
had been taken"
There is absolutely no justification
in international law, it was pointed
out, for the detention of the ambas-
sador.
u No dispatch has been received from
Mr. Gerard, either directly, through
Copenhagen, or through the Spanish
ambassador in Berlin since Z D. m.

WAITING "CLEAR-CUT" ISSUE
1t is Believed Germany Will Do
Nothing That Will Call for a
Declaration OF War-Wilson
Quietly Waiting.

WASHINGTON, w Feb. 9.-The state
ment Is made at the state department
today that should Germany commit an
overt act President Wilson viii not
ask congress for declaration of war.
but merely that he be allowed TO use
every measure he should deem necos-
sary to protect American citizens and
American shipping interests.
1t is meant by this that should Ger

the same could be termed an overt
act" the president will at once call
all available means and then, with
the permission Of congress, q declara-
tlon OF war would result
However, 1t is not believed in off,
cial and general circles In the capitol
that Germany will commit any net
that will call for a declaration of war
In the meantime. President Wilson
will see that Germans and the prop.
erty of Germans is protected TO the

ANOTHER COLD
WAVE IS COMING
STORM WARNINGS ARE DISPLAY
ED FROM HATTERAS TO
EAST PORT.

While yesterday was not the cold
est day Brunswick and this section
has had this winter, the mercury
danced lower and lower all day long,
save for a short time after the noon
hour, and even then it was cold
enough and later in the afternoon it
became exceedingly SO, which made
heavy wraps and overcoats comfort
able.
From the forecast for today it is
probable that the cold will continue
and the crops not already damaged
being weakened by the recent freeze,
will probably be ruined if it does
really get as cold as the weather bu-
reau thinks it will
This is the forecast from Washing
tom
Another cold wave will sweep the
Atlantic coast tonight from New Eng
land to extreme northern Florida, the

The effect of the above ruling on
the part of the court of appeals is to
sustain it's own opinion rendered on
January 13, and at the same time
again upholds Judge Emory Speer, OF
the United States district court for
the southern district of Georgia, be-
fore whom the case was tried. 1t de-
nies a rehearing asked for by Messrs.
Hitch and Denmark and Adams and
Adams. Of Savannah, counsel for the
defendant railroad, and simply affirms
its original ruling in the case. The
delay in forwarding the mandate to
the district court will, of course. TEN
porarily delay the transfer of posses
sion Of the receivers appointed by
Judge Speer, Messrs. Frank D. Aiken,
Clarence H. Leavy and Jas S. Brai-
ley, all of this city In the event the
certiorari proceedings are brought,

r. S. Cohen, of Augusta; Hon. Alex
c. King. of King and Spalding, of AZ

wick
The prompt denial of the rehearing
application by the circuit court of ap-
peals is but another step forward in
this long drawn out litigation in
which the receivership step by step
has been successful in the courts
A number of Brunswick lawyers
were interviewed by a representative
of the News yesterday and the con-
census of opinion among them is that
there will be but little delay in the
United States supreme court. They
say that certiorari proceedings have
always been speedily passed upon.
and there is no reason for any nm
usual delay in the present litigation
1t will be recalled that in the ia
nous Yaryan case the petition for
certiorari was presented on June 1st
and a decision rendered by the court
within two weeks.

THE GERMAN SITUATION WAS
GONE OVER AND CONFIDENCE
EXPRESSED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. AT q meet.
ing of the cabinet. the German situa-
tion in all its phases was discussed
at length. Members of President Will
sons cabinet stated that the machin-
cry of the government was prepare:
to carry out any program laid down
by the president. Just what this por-
gram will be was not stated
The fact that officials of the navy
are very much opposed to the scatter
ing of the American navy as conveys
for the protection of American ships
was learned 1t is said the president
shares the sentiment of the naval of
ficers..
1t is understood that the arming OF
merchant vessels was discussed. and
the fact that Secretary of War Baker
gave orders to a steel company TO
rush the orders for guns for the navy
with all possible speed, leaves the
public to believe that the merchan:
ships will be armed at the earlies;
possible moment
From the way matters shaped up
today, one thing can be said: This
government is ready for any emer-
gency and is prepared to carry out
the wishes of the president.
