National Council Now In Session ana Will Probably Adopt Same afti- tude as United States-FoOd Sup ply Very Low.

LONDON, Feb. GA report from Berne, Switzerland, states that the Swiss federal council is now in ses- sion and is considering adopting the same policy toward Germany as that adopted by the United States. Switz- ,erland is particularly affected by the German policy of submarine warfare, as her stores of foodstuff are small and are gradually being exhausted. She is obliged to import her food stuffs through one of the belligerent countries, and if the German under sea program is rigidly enforced 1t means actual starvation of Switzer- land. That country is also feeding thousands of wounded prisoners of war, of all nationalities, who have ,peen sent there for their health, in 4luding many Germans and in spit, of this Germany has made no excep- tion in the case of vessels bearing foodstuffs for Switzerland. The Swiss government has negotiated in vain for such exemption, which has strengthened the anim0sity of the people against Germany.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. G. The foreign situation still remains unchanged, and in official circles is regarded as particularly tense. It is certain that the news of the sinking of an American vessel by German submarines or the loss of American lives through the German undersea program, will result in the adoption of the most drastic measures by the administration, and news of this char acter is momentarily expected. The assertion by the German Foreign Sec retary Zimmerman that Germany will not recede from her announced poi icy, together with similar tone in articles appearing in the German pa rers, leaves no hope that the situation may be bettered by Germany making some concessions to the American sentiment.
 That the administration officials look for the worst is evidenced by the activity in the War and Navy de- partments, where plans are being rushed to put the country on a war footing at the earliest possible mo- ment President Wilson has issue" an executive order prohibiting the sale or lease of any American vessel until further notice. Secretary of the Navy Daniels has accepted the offer of Henry Ford to place the huge Ford plant at the disposal of the govern ment without profit in the event of war, as a constituent part of the goI- ernment intuition works.
