GERMANY EXPECTS WILSON TO YIELD (By United Press Leased Wire.) Berlin, Fob. 26. Germany counts upon congress and the American peo ple to froce President Wilson to back down from his position -in the German-American situation, the United Press learned to day. While officials would not comment upon it, the general feeling here Is that if the matter of the German armed enemy merchant decree Is re ferred to congress, a resolution will be passed, warning Americans from traveling on armed belligerent ships. Dispatches suggesting the possi bility that President Wilson would ask the recall of Ambassador von Bernstorff caused great surprise here For the past 24 hours the United Press office has been besieged by telephone calls from officials and prominent men Inquiring to the truth of the reports. American Ambassador Gerard and Foreign Secretary von Jagow de clared, however, that no such In timations had come to them. Though the report that congress may force President Wilson to yield to Germany roused hope here of a peaceful settlement of the contro versy, the feeling against the United States is dally more .Intense. Not only the public but also of flclals are frankly bitter In their crlt lclsm of the president for refusing to warn Americans to keep off armed enemy ships and the consensus of opinion is that the recall of diplo mats would have the worst possible effect upon German-American nego tiations. Ambassador Gerard, despite his re cent accident, Is now at his desk, looking after American interests.
