Count Won BernstOrf
Granted Safe Conduct by
Britain; Must Touch Halifax

Washington, Feb. s.-Great Britain
and France today granted safe conduct
to German Ambassador Won Bernstorff
The British government stipulated
that, in returning home Bernstorff and
his staff should touch at Halifax for
examination of papers.
This avoids routing the ship by way
of Falmouth and through the German
submarine area
Bernstorff will sail on the Frederik
VIII Feb Is from New York, touch IT
Halifax and then skirt the north of
the Shetland Islands and then down
the Norwegian coast to Christiania.
There is now no need for other safe
conducts from other allied govern
ments, it was stated.
The safe conducts are for Bernstorff,
his personal and embassy employees and
all German consuls in the United States
Former German Consul Bopp at San
Francisco will not be permitted to de
part under the general safe conduct
since he has been convicted of viola
tion of United States federal statute
and his ease is now pending upon ar
appeal.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Feb. S.-A crisis in the
present strained situation between the
United States and Germany appeared
to be drawing nearer today.
Two factors, at least, contributed tc
the feeling in official circles, that the
break in diplomatic relations now ex-
isting may quickly develop an even
more serious phase.
First was the official version of the
torpedoing of the Anchor liner Califor-
MIA, carrying 200 passengers and crew
including many women and children.
Second, United Press advices that
Germany, contrary to all international
diplomatic usage, was Withholding IS
suance of passports to American Am
bassador Gerard and American citizens
pending information from Washington
as to America IS granting of safe
conduct to German Ambassador Berns-
torff, as well as to Washington 3 inter
probation of old Prussian treaties
The fact that the one American
aboard the California-John A. Lee OF
Montgomery, Ala, mentioned rs such
in cable from Consul Frost at Queens
town, was saved, may prove the slender
thread by which President Wilson viii
hold to the existing tacit peace with
Germany.
There were some officials, however
who admittedly feared this threae
would not hold. They cited America Z
frequent warning that American lives
,,nst MT Gthn nlaped in ieopardyS By
Germany S unlawful submarinings.
