FULL DEMANDS MET
IN HOUsATONIC CASE
President Wilson Calls on
All Neutrals TO Follow the
Course of United States
Situation Expected to De-
velop Within Few Days.

Washington, Feb. 5.-This govern
danger period in it's position toward
Germany for today the time of grace
for neutral shipping in the new war
area expires. At the same time three
momentous developments have come
to improve what some officials insist
are possibilities of peaceful outcome:
Germany has yielded to this
country's demands made few
hours before the break in relations
came, for immediate release of
Americans held prisoners in Ger
many.
President Wilson has asked all
neutrals to follow his course in
severing diplomatic relations with
Germany, believing such action
will make for the peace of the
world"
Germany has met the full de-
mands OF international law in the
Housatonic case.
This government has yet to reach a
decision on relations with Austria.
Careful consideration has led officials
to feel that the break with her will not
come, however, unless Austria herself
precipftates tiff she has not already.
To DEVELOP SOON.
Whether peace continues or war Is
to come, the present situation with
Germany should develop within n few
days, it is officially believed. Within
that time, the attitude of most OF the
neutral nations will become publicly
known, and whether or not Germany
intends to halt or continue the cam
paign President Wilson called ruthless,
will also develop.
At the same time he Is employing
the mailed fist to emphasize his peace
hopes. the president is taking every
step to prepare the country for event

IDENTICAL NOTE
SENT AMERICA

Washington, Feb. s.
Austria has sent the United

has been generally understood, but con-
available until today.

cation from the state department may
be taking the matter up with the Ger
man government with view to mod
flying the whole submarine policy, or
at least withdrawing her own position.
Authorities hold that Austria could
