RELATIONS WITH BERLIN MAY EN UNLESS GERMANY COMES TO Tl High Administration Authority For casts That Wilson Will Appear Be fore Congress Within a Week to Announce a Desire to Break Diplomatic Relations Because of Apparent Unwillingness of Ger man Government to Settle the Lusitania Controversy. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. A high administration authority forecast I Wilson's appearance before congrem within a week to announce a desire t break diplomatic relations with Ger many This action is certain to re sult if German intimations are correct that Von Jagow has instructed Bern storff to play for further delay In a settlement of the Lusltanta case, for a long discussion of technicalities ovtr the German proclamation of warfarn Relations between Germany and America depend entirely upon Bern torff's instructii.ns. due here in two days. Wilson is determined not to permit parleying. If Germany en deavors to cause another compllca t on. the president is prepared to place the whole affair in the hand of congress. Administration officials took a gloomy view of the situation It was suggested that publicity of the gov ernment's views might prevent break. Should Wilson decide to take the question of a rupture before con gress there is still time for Germany to correct her pol'cy. Officials declared the president is I done with parleying. The alreadv i vigorous activities have caused a col , lapse of the agitation for an issuance, of a warning for Americans to keep off armed merchantmen. Those fos i tering the plan have not changed ; their idea but de not desire to press ithe resolution s nee they understand i the White House would not support : them.
