cials now await an actual demonstra-
ton of how the new decree will affect
American rights. The news Of the
killing of an American seaman IN the
shelling of the boats Of the British
steamer Eavestone is not now regard
ed as the long-feared overt act. It
will be thoroughly investigated before
it is assigned to its proper place as a
factor in the situation.
Austria's Case.
Meanwhile Austria's case still is IN.
determined. While it is known that
the dual monarchy has officially ad-
hered to Germany's declaration, as it
now stands before the State Depart
ment, her announced intentions are
somewhat different from Germany's.
but it is doubtful if there can be a
real distinction. Rupture Of relations
with Austria seems no less certain
than it did, but the situation must 60
through definite processes before de-
cision is announced.
Although engrossed in the task OF

tuality, President Wilson has not lost
sight of the participation neutrals
must have in the terms Of peace
terms which he hopes will insure the
world against another cofagration.
Conference of Neutrals.
There are intimations Of thoughts
OF conference of neutrals to reach
an agreement on what neutrals may
ask when the time comes. 1t is known
that this suggestion is being pressed
by at least one of the European neu-
trails which has been among the chief
suffers from the war and it is be-
lieved that President Wilson has re-
garded it with favor. 1t is realized,
however, that the idea is still in nebn-
lous form.
The first steps to place congress
on record in support Of the break with
Germany was taken in the senate to-
day and is expected to be followed i'll
the house. Chairman Stone, Of the
foreign relations committee, intro
duced a resolution endorsing the pres
ident's action and it was placed in b
parliamentary position to be adopted
tomorrow. Republicans have given
assurances of support.
Via Short Route.
Preparations for the departure OF
Count Won Bernstorff and his staff
progressed to the point where it was
decided that the former ambassador,
as well as all the German consnls N
the United States-a party OF 800 or
more-will go home by the shortest
route, probably through Holland Or
Denmark. 1t was first proposed that
they go by way of Cuba and Spain

SAYS BLOCKADE
PLANS TO STAND
Slight Hopes For Peaceful Relations
To Continue.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-(Via London).-
Peaceful continuance of German
American relations after the depar-
ture Of the respective embassies at
Washington and Berlin in the sense
indicated by President Wilson in his
address to congress, appears to be
very slight, judging by all the infor-
nation, some of the highest authen-
ticity gathered by the associated
press.
1t was stated positively in high
political circles that the German or
ders for the conduct of a submarine
war could not, and would not be mod
lfied; that in Germany the determina-
ton to enforce the prohibited zone
order was absolute and final and that
the Only security for shipping was
avoidance of the prohibited zone.
Germany. so the associated press
was informed, resorted to this meas
ire after the shameful rejection by
the Entente Powers of peace over
lures and only after the fullest de-
liberation Of the imperative weapon
in defense Of its threatened interests;
Germany cannot relinquish this wea-
pon-the only one promising a speedy
end to the War-reluctant as Ger
many was to take this step.
The government had hoped that the
United States would see it in this
light, and was, and is, actuated by no
animosity to the United States in it's
determination. Germany, therefore,
so the high informant of the associau-
ed press continued, is very keenly
disappointed and grieved by the terms
of Mr.. Wilson's message. but the gov
ernment cannot alter or modify the
course upon which it has determined.
This official adds:
I'VE can only hope and trust that
American ships and American citizens
will avoid the danger zones laid down
in the German memorandum.

President Wilson today Went to the
Navy Department and conferred with
Secretary Daniels on eXpediting legis-
lation to empower the government to

Of need.
From Secretary Baker the president

Not Likely to Use Conveys.
Washington, Feb. 5.-While no final
decision has been reached as to the
attitude of the government toward
" American merchant ships sailing for
the European war zone, it is regarded
as highly improbable in official circles
that conveying by warships will be
undertaken. Indications today we're
that only scant consideration has been
given either the question of convoys
or suggestions that merchantmen be
armed.
No matter what course the United
States may adopt, it is felt here that
it will lead to war if Germany carries
out her threat to sink all ships enter
ing the prescribed zone

Washington, Feb. 5.-The grave con-
sern with which the American Gov
ernment has been awaiting develop
ments since the break with Germany
was not perceptibly increased by
press dispatches tonight announcing
that an american member Of the crew
of the British steamer Eavestone had
been killed by shells from a German
submarine.
Confidence apparently was felt in
all quarters that full report would
show that the vessel was attacked in
accordance with the rules Of cruiser
warfare and that the incident would
not prove to be an overt act which
would mean war.
According to the stories OF surviv-
ers the master and three members OF
the Eavestone crew, including the
American, were killed while they were
leaving the ship in boats. There have
been several instances in the past in
which deliberate shelling Of boats was
alleged, but such case never has
heen established to the satisfaction Of
the State department. 1t is believed
here that the shelling indicates the

HOPES GERMANY WILL MODIFY

BY NEWS FROM GERMANY
America Prepares While War Clouds
Lower.-News of Killing of Amer1-
can Seaman Not Now Considered an
Overt Act.

Washington, Feb. 5.-While the
United States stands before the world
court of public opinion in the anxious
waiting period which will determine
peace or war with Germany, President
Wilson is determined there shall be
no word or deed to merit reproach,
even from Germany herself.
Nothing is to be done whicn IS not
fully justified by the laws OF nations
and humanity; nothing is to be done
for expediency; nothing is to be done
which is not legal and just. With
hope for peace and readiness to meet
war if it must be, the president has
made it clear to all his officials that
the course Of the United States, diff
cult as it is, must be entirely beyond
criticism.
To that end German rights and
property in the United States are to
have full protection of law and the
president wishes every American citi-
zen to forbear from any thought or
act which might lead this country
nearer to war.
No Turning Back.
Hope that Germany might at the
last moment modify her declaration
of unrestricted submarine warfare
was almost dissipated today by news
dispatches from Berlin which gave
the word of high German officials that
there would be no turning back.

Hero Comes to

Bachelor Maids

A boy, who refused to give his
name. played the part of hero when
a coal oil stove exploded in an apart
ment at 2207 North Twentieth street.
Miss Anna Heger and three other
bachelor girls were preparing meal
in the room when the stove exploded.
They ran screaming to the street and
the boy, who was not more than u
years old, ran into the house and
threw the burning stove out of the
window. He didn't even wait to be
thanked, but sped up the street.
Mrs. John Rutherford OF 270o
Dodge street started to iron some
clothes with a cloth which had been
used in cleaning clothes with gasoline.
Flames leaped up from the cloth just
as soon as the hot iron touched it.
Then the woman threw the burning
cloth into some rags which reposed
in a refuse pail and lively little fire
started in the pail. There was not
much damage.

as member of the federal shipping
board was officially announced to-
day.

to do with the passage of the ship.
ping board law and the selection of
the board, issued this statement:
1T is true that Bernard N. Baker
has resigned from the shipping board
and that the president has accepted
his resignation. Mr.. Baker resigned
because l suggested to him that |
thought it would be wise in the cir
cumstanccs il he would consider CIV
ing the Craftsmanship to the Pacific
coast. The president was In accord
with this suggestion. Mr.. Baker
said he desired to think the matter
over for the night. The next morn
ing he sent his resignation.
"The selection OF suitable men for
the shipping board and the proper
organization OF the board has been
matter OF great concern to the
administration ever since the passage
OF the shipping bill. The suggestion
about the Guardianship was made in
a spirit OF cooperation and with a
desire to be helpful.

the law to select its own chairman,
but there is no reason why sugges-
ton from the administration should
not receive consideration. | have a
warm regard always for Mr.. Baker
and regret his hasty action
Mr.. Baker helped frame the ship

ardent champions before committees
of congress. He was named for a
term Of FIVE years. 1t has been said
that William Demman of San Fran

would be made chairman OF the
board.
