Sot PreflWent Wilson ami that nn
Xncemcnt to this effect wilt shortly
KraTuO by the Stato Department, was
forthcoming tonight from an authorlta-
n um lource.
In diplomatic Circles uiBguasiun iuuuy
'ired on tl10 Inevltablo consequences of
Mi course. Even tho most conservative
Minion holds that this country will lie
Si In a controversy with Great
Britain which may oaslly provo to bo tho
most troublcsomo and embarrassing of
UT tbe United States has yet had to face.
No ono conversant with tho case goes
io far as to forecast anything moro
rlou3 than a loss of foreign trade. Hut
that tho United States must expect a
.v.t nf commercial retaliation If the
i ..-,. rnntrntlon Is upheld by this GOV
'T eminent U considered certain.
f i ihn United Stntcs prohibits the clear-
taw from Its ports of armed merchant
men the Allies may bo counted upon to
reply with a threat of refusing to nllow
any of their merchantmen to enter Amcr
i..n nnrts. Allied merchantmen now
carry most of tho foreign trado of tho
United States, HO mai n ncriuua ius iiukui
caally ba Indicted on America, nut tha
Allies themselves would be tho greatest
offerers by non-Intercourse.
Ono diplomat hero hns suggested that
tho Entente Powers ought to forbid any
(hips to como hero except such as enrry
munitions and other supplies needed by
tho nations themselves. But such a sit
uation could readily bo met by tho au
thorities here. If tho Allies try to en
force a partial boycott tho United States
can readily mnko It complete. Accord
ingly tho boycott threat Is taken hero as
largely diplomatic bluff.
German diplomats nro confident thnt
the United States will support tho view
that armed merchantmen aro In effect
warships, In so far na their ability to net
on the offensive with submarines Is con
cerned. They declaro that recognition by
the United States of tho Justice of their
""i"'0" w"l remove the last cause for
controversy between the two countries.
Officials of the German Embassy arc
expecting- a final settlement of tho Lusl
tanla case beforo tho end of tho present
By Tuesday or Wednesday at tho latest
hi a ! embassy expects word from the Berlin
I'orelgn offlco accepting tho changes of
plirn neology in u10 agreement which Sec
retary Lansing suggested at his confer
ence with Count -on Ucrnstorff last week.
AUlioug i the chnnges did not reach
. . .,"iUI! Vestciday, It Is thought prob
nolo timt Count von Jagow. finding thorn
acceptable, may notify tho Ambassador
by wireless today to proceed to draw up
tic formal agreement and to authorlta
tho Ambassador to affix to It the nnmo
of tho German Foreign Minister.
ENGLAND WILL REJECT U. S.
STAND ON ARMED LINERS
London Hears Washington Will Ac
cept German Ruling
LONDON, Teh. 14.-England will reject
proposals tnado by tho United States thnt
merchant vessels bo disarmed. In taking
this action, Great Britain will havo tho
backing of nil tho Entente Towers. This
has been determined by Informal prelim
inary conferences held by Sir Edward
Grey with representatives of tho Allies In
London and formal affirmation of tho de
cision will bo mado nt a, great war coun
cil, to bo held In Purls In tho near future.
Tho British Government will novcr
nbnndon tho position that It has takon
that tho sinking of merchant vessels
without warning, oven If tho ships at
tacked nro carrying arms for their own
defense Is contrary to tho principles of
civilized warfare.
Tho general Impression nmong tho pco
plo of England and In London ofllclal cir
cles Is that tho American Government In
tends to accept tho argument of Germany.
This Is certain to result In tho develop
ment of tension, more or less ncuto, be
tween London nnd Washington.
