WASHINGTON, Feb. 5,-Besides
breaking off diplomatic relations with
Germany, President Wilson has made
a bold stroke to range the moral
force of all other neutral countries
along with that of the United States
in the interest of peace.
The president has suggested to all
the other neutrals that they break
off diplomatic relations with Germany
as the United States has done and
has instructed all American diplomats
in those countries to report imme-
diately how the suggestion is re-
ceived The opinion in diplomatic
quarters here is that European neu-
trails at the very doorstep of Ger
many, threatened by her military
power, will hesitate to take such a
step. The effect of the suggestion in
other countries is being eagerly
awaited. This was the only known
development of first Importance which
came out of day of tense waiting.
The presidents invitation to neu-
trails to follow his action was con
tanned in instructions to American
diplomats to announce the break
with Germany to the governments to
49,. go ooaradfFnA
Thus it becomes apparent that in
the shadow of war the president has
not abandoned his efforts for peace,
and as the first step has moved to
direct the moral force of the neutral
world to compel Germany's return to
an observance of international law
at sea.
The danger that broken diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Germany will develop into a state
of war is by no means minimized by
President Wilson's course and neither
he or other officials of the govern
ment are abating their preparations
for any eyentuality.
Steps to protect American cities
and property against attack by for
eign sympathizers are day and night
going forwrd actively, although 81
lently.
Preparations to prevent the dis
abing Of German war-bound ships il
American ports are being taken, but
they are unannounced The question
of conveying American ships on theil
voyage to the submarine zone still
is undecided, although the first i'm
preston is to let American ships
