WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The steady
stream of reports telling of the de-
struction of merchant ships by German
submarines was brought to a climax
by a cablegram TO the State Depart
ment from Consul Frost at Queenstown
announcing that the British passenger
liner California, had been torpedoed
without warning. and that an Ameri-
can citizen was among the survivors.
Whether this will prove to be the
overt act to drive the United States
into war, no one would attempt to say
President Wilson, who must make the
decision, had retired when the news
came. and officials did not awake him
Late in the afternoon he had been in
formed of a message from Consul
Frost, telling of the sinking Of the Cal
ifornia, but giving no details as to
warning or the presence of Americans
A later report stated that the Ameri
can. John A. Lee, of Montgomery, Ala.
had been saved.

The News Told In Short Bulle'
tins From The Associated
Press Dispatches.

The latest bulletins received up to
the time THE NEWS went to press
last night gave the inference that the
German Government had broken all
pledges to President Wilson and that
war was now a certainty. The steamer
Turvino was sunk by a German sui
marine, and an American negro nam
&C George Washington was killed, &C
cording to report received at the
American Embessay. One Of the sur
ViVors was Calvin Bay, an American
citizen of Fillmore, Utah. President
Wilson was notified and Immediately
went to the State, War and Navy Build
ina. The President and his advisers
seem to be still waiting for some covert
act" before beginning actual hostil;'
ties, though preparations are being
made to meet any emergency that may
arise.
