WASHINGTON .Feb.. 20.-rPres.dent.
Wilson and his Cabinet discussed at
length today the flankers' to American
vessels and comroerca rolng ont or
the reiterated determination or the Ger
man government to waff warfare .of
submarines and mines on cnmy v";
sels. disclaiming all responsibility for
what might happen to neutral vessels
vtnturlnz into the new sea rones or
"cinvass of Cabinet officers later dis
closed that the Administration regarded
the developments of ihe.laet few days
as of grave importance. Members l
the Cabinet declined to predict what
would be the course of the tinted
State. Some pointed out that in every
serious situation in international af
fairs much discretion was vested In the
President, and that his action would
necessarily be guided by the circum
stances of each case if any attacks on
American vessels occurred.
Delay Regarded Advantage.
In the informal discission of the
reply as published in tbe press, some
members of the Cabinet took the view
that while the situation was serious,
there was an Indication In the German
note of a willingness to negotiate and
discuss the subject further, which might,
perhaps, postpone the active enforce
ment of the proclamation - sufficiently
long to permit an understanding to be
reached about the safety of neutral ves
sels and their identification on the high
seas.
The delay in receiving the note from
Ambassador Gerard was regarded as of
advantage in that it had given oppor
tunity for deliberation here and In
Berlin.
Appreheasioa la Felt.
The portion of the note in which
Geimany disclaimed all responsibility
for what might happen to neutral
hips, either by submarine torpedoes
or mines, produced a feeling of appre
hension among some high officials that
a critical point might be precipitated
in the relations between the United
States and Germany. These officials
suggested that there would now be
less caue for anxiety if Germany had
negotiated, as did Great Britain, France
and Kussia. treaties with the United
States agreeing to submit to a commis
sion of investigation any difficulties
that may arise between them.
While the German Ambassador here
is known to have endeavored to bring
about the negotiation of such a treaty,
the outbreak of the war with Its in
creased burdens on the German Foreign
Office diverted attention from it there
and the State Department has been
looking forward to a renewal of discus
sion of the treaty at the first oppor
tunity. .
"Accountability' Variously Vsed.
Opinions varied as to what steps
would be taken by the United States
when the text of the German reply
is officially received. Some contended
triat inasmuch as the United States
had Informed Germany that the latter
would be held "to strict accountability"
for any attacks on American vessels
and lives, the Interests of the Ameri
can Government misht best be con
served now by standing unalterably on
that warning and awaiting develop
ments. ' Some of the Scandinavian countries.
In their representations to Germany, it
is 'aid. have used the phrases "ac
countability" in the sense of demand
Ins compensation for losses sustained.
Holland's protest Is believed to have
conveyed this meaning, as well aa a
warning of possible action. The fact
that the United States did nor define
Its future course, but left it open to
construction by the recipient ol the
communication. Is regarded in some of
ficial quarters as making unnecessary
any further explanation of the attitude
of the American Government to Ger
many nnless some overt act occurred.
Kxraae la Met Accepted. .
. The position of the United States in
Its communication to Germany was
amplified to some extent today by Ad
ministration officials, who insisted that
06 use of submarines, which Germany
contended made it unsafe at time to
approach a merchantman for fear of
retaliatory fire, was not an excuse. In
their oninion. for summary attack on a
ship flying a neutral flag without veri
fying its character.
; The rule of international law, they
said, clearly required that the right to
visit and search be exercised in deal
ing with .all merchant craft and this
similarly imposed an obligation on
belligerents to use only such vessels
for this purpose as could effectively
determine the valid or spurious charac
ter of a neutral ensign.
: As for tbe possible destruction of
Vessels by mines strewn indiscrimin
ately in the open seas, without afford
ing channels or pilots, officials were
Inclined to admit the helplessness of
neutral vessels visiting these xones of
war.

DYNAMITE PLOT, THEORY
ATTORNEY IN PROBE OF MILL FIRE
SEES EVIDENCE OF PLAN.
Stick and rbosphorua-Soaked Wood
Unearthed by Detectives on
Search Arouad Plaat.
Startling revelations concerning a
dynamite plot in connection with the
recent attempt to burn the University
Park Shingle Mill at the foot of Olin
street are promised by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Delch as the result of
his Investigation of Thomas Pattison
and Hugh . Priest, arrested Thursday
night on a charge of arson.
Nine sticks of dynamite were dis
covered near the mill yesterday by
detectives who are working on the
case. The explosive had been care
fully hidden in the brush, and Mr.
Deich believes that it was to be used
as a last resort if the plan to burn
the building failed.
A piece of flooring from the mill,
taken yesterday as evidence by a de
tective, caught fire in the streetcar on
the way to the police station, and It
required the united efforts of the
officer and the conductor to quench the
flame. A panic on the car was nar
rowly averted.
At the police . station it was found
that the wood was literally soaked in
phosphorus.
Last night Dr. Edward Noyes, an
expert on caustic burns, examined the
hands of Pattison and Priest to de
termine how their injuries were re
ceived. He was not positive that the
wounds were caused by phosphorus,
but said that they were not gasoline
burns as the men had asserted.
Telegrams received by local millmen
yesterday contained a warning against
Pattison, It is saia. ana mmou n.i.
