HAD HOPED THAT THE UNITED
STATES WOULD NOT TAKE
ACT AS UNFRlENDLY. 4
CONTINUE SUBMARINE WAR
Repeat Statement That Rejection Of
Peace Proposals Forced Central
Powers to Resume Ruthless
Attack on England's Food.

Berlin, Feb. 4, Sunday, via London,
Feb. st was stated positively in
high political circules that the German
orders for the conduct of submarine
war could not and would not be modi-
fled; that in Germany the determine
tion to enforce the prohibited zone or
der was absolute and final and that
the only security for shipping was
avoidance of the prohibited zone.
Germay, 30 the Associated Press was
informed, resorted to this measure af-
ter the Shameful rejection by the
entente powers Of peace. overtures and
only after the fullest determination
and as the imperative weapon in de.
tense of its threatened interests; Ger.
many can not relinquish this weapon
the only one promising speedy end
to the war-reluctant as Germany was
to take this step.
The government had hoped that the
United States would see it in this
light and was ard is ,actnated by nc
animosity to the United States in its
determination. Germany, therefore, SO
the high informant Of The Associated
Press continued, is very keenly disap-
pointed and grieved by the terms OF
Mr. Wilson's message but the govern.
ment can not alter or modify the
course upon which it has determined
This official added:
"We can only hope and trust that
American ships and American citizens
will avoid the danger zones laid down
in the German memorandum"
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1917-02-08

The government, it was pointed out,
has no legal right to take over war
bound merchant ships in American
harbors.
Strict legal right must be the basis
for the conduct of all federal officers
under the announced policy of the
government.
So matter what other nations may
do in the present emergency, it was
stated, the United States will adhere
strictly to the law and do nothing
under stress of excitement which it
would not be legal to do in ordinary
times
The president himself, it was stated,
is moving without panic or haste, and
expects all subordinate officers of the
government to do likewise. If war
comes, he wants no possible blame at
tached to the American government or
any of it's officials or people.

TWO HUNDRED AMERICAI
KILLED BY SUBMi
Heavy Toll Taken by German Divers
in Two Years-Most of Them on
Unarmed Merchant Vessels.

Washington.-Two hundred Ameri-
cans, at least, probably more, have
gone to their deaths through German
and Austrian submarine operations.
Most of the Americans lost were
travelling in unarmed merchant ships
and, under the practices of inter
national law and humanity, believed
themselves safe. More than 1000 cit
liens of other nationalities lost their
lives in the same attacks, but they
compose only part of the toll of
life taken by submarine warfare. The
ships lost, on which the Americans
met death. are only a fraction of the
number sent to the bottom by torpe-
does, most of them without warning.
The cases which involve the Uni
ted States and Germany are primarily
those in which American life was
lost or endangered.

OFFER NINE MONTHS
TO LEAVE GERMANY
Berlin Government Likely to Propose
That Germans Here Also Be Given
Same Time to Close Business.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-The Associated
Press learns authoritatively that Ger
many will propose to Ambassador Ge-
rard a special reratification of the
Prussian-American treaties of 1899 and
1928, allowing nationals in case of
war nine months in which to settle
their affairs and leave hostile coun-
tries"
This step would positively insure
Americans in Germany and Germans
in America against internment If hos
tilities break out and would prevent
a precipitate exodus from either coun-
try such as was general in Europe
when the war begun.

GERMANY : AND AUSTRIA TOLD
A FEW THINGS BY PREsI-
DENT WILSON.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OFF
We Recall Gerard From Germany and
Give Bernstorff His Passport to
Leave-Spain Handles Our
End, Switzerland Theirs.

Washing ngton.-President Wilson has
broken off diplomatic relations with
Germany and warned the kaiser that
ruthless sacrifice Of American lives
and rights means war.
Similar action is waiting for Aus
tria when she notifies this govern
ment that she joins in the campaign
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
The president made formal an
nouncement of his action to the coun-
try and: to the world Saturday at a
joint session of congress.
Passports have been handed to
Count Won Bernstorff; Ambassador
Gerard with all his staff and all
American .consuls have been ordered
out of Germanya All German consuls
in the United States. are expected to
withdraw that the severance Of re-
lations may be complete.
American diplomatic. interests, in
Berlin, have. been t,lEaea over to
Spain; German diplomatic interests
in the United States have been taken
over by Switzerland. Foreign diplo-
matte interests which the United
States had in charge in Germany
have been turned over to various
neutrals.
War Has Always Followed.
Two years of diplomatic negotia-
tions marked with frequent crises
and attended with the loss of more
than 200 American lives on the high
seas have eliminated with an act
which in all the history of all the
world has always led to war. Every
agency of the American government
has been set in motion to protect
the country against acts of German
sympathizers These moves are of
necessity being kept secret.
With the notice of the severance
of diplomatic relations the United
States sent to Berlin for the imme-
date release of GA Americans taken
from ships captured by German raid
ers in the south Atlantic
Congress to Rush Laws.
At the request of the president con-
gress, mmediately after hearing his
address, began work on new laws
framed by the department of justice
to check conspiracies and plots
against the United States which can
not now be reached under existing

AMBASSADOR BERNSToRFF
But He Is Not Surprised at Action
Taken of the United States
Was Only Course.

Washington.-The eyes OF Count
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador,
moistened when he received the news
that relations had been severed.
II am so sorry" he said. "How-
ever I expected it. There was moth
ing else for the United States to do.
wonder how am to get home?"
Count Won Bernstorff earlier in the
day had said he believed that even
if break should come President Will
son would continue his efforts to re-
store peace to the world, possibly
through the Swiss government.
Many attaches of the embassy i'm
mediately began preparing to remove
their personal effects. The clicking
of typewriters ceased and clerks stop
ped working to talk Of possibilities
of war and how they were going to
get back to Germany.
Looks for War.
In the mind of every person in the
embassy there is. now and always
has been the conviction that the sew
erance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many could be followed by nothing
else than war. They all feel that
the first American life lost as a re-
suit Of the new submarine situation
will bring the crash.
Aid Bernstorff in Leaving.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Arrangements
are being made for all German con-
suls and consular officials in the Uni
ted States to accompany Count Won
Bernstorff and the German embassy
staff out of the country. The whole
party-more than 800 in all-probably
will go via Cuba and Spain.
