(It liilnsl -rr i The Dully Bulletin.) , WASHINGTON, I). C, Feb. 6. Germany's answer to the breaking off of diplomatic relations by the United States, is expected within 4 hours. It may be a declara tion of war. Officials here believe that war is inevitable. Ambassador von Hcrnstorff is known to have recently reiterated his assertion that Germany would declare war in the event of an open rupture between the two countries. The United States government is. rapidly completing war preparations. A cabinet meeting is being held this afternoon. The torpedoing of the Evestone is taken as conclusive evidence that Germany actually is waging ruthless war at sea. Official State department reports confirm the news that a German submarine jihelled the crewJn the lifeboats, killimr Richard Wallace, an This is contrary to all international law, despite the fact that the Evestone was a British naval collier. Tension in officials cricles is running higher. The ad ministration has requested full details. The State depart ment has cabled Ambassador Gerard, advising that all Americans leave Germany at once. It is reliably intimated that Spain and Switzerland will not break their diplomatic relations with Germany, as sug gested by President Wilson. They will remain neutral because they arc handling German and American inter ests. Spain is scheduled to publish an outline of her po sition tomorrow. The House Inter-State Commerce committee reported favorably on the Adamson bill, providing a military draft of railroad employes in the the mediation conciliation strikes.
