BREAK DOESN'T
ALWAYS mean
WARlL FOLLOW
No Modern Exception Rec.
,orded, However Alien
Rights Unaffected.

= washington, Feb. 3--Breaking off
of diplomatic relations with Germany
does mot mean war, but easily may
lead to war. It is an act of protest
characterized in the usage Of nations
as "a measure short Of war"
The danger that war may follow is
accumulated by the diplomatic history
Of the world. Modern times show no
instance of diplomatic break be-
tween two first class powers that has
not been followed by hostilities.
The rights of Germans in the
United States and of Americans in
Germany are virtually unaffected by
the severance Of diplomatic relations.
No treaties are terminated or suspend
ed, but remain in full force and effect
unless either government later de-
cides to denounce them, which, under
international practice, generally calls
for a notice Of one. year.
German consuls in the United
States and American consuls in Ger
many holding their places by virtue
of treaties continue to perform their
usual functions, but they no longer
work under supervision of diplomatic
officials.
In ere is no Grange III commercial
relations, already badly crippled by
the war. Individuals and corpora
lions may continue their usual af-
fairs, provided they do not deal in
contraband and their obligations are
a binding as ever. The courts still
remain open to them for redress, but
they have no facility for direct inter-
vention Of their diplomatic officials
They may, however, be represented
by the diplomats of the friendly pow
ers selected to care for the interests
of the respective governments.
There should be no sequestration
or confscation of private property
either in the United States or Ger
many, although it may be taken for
use under certain conditions.
