CAPITAL FEARS
Developments Concerning
Sussex Increase Tensity,
Washington Thinks
?OSSIBLE STEPS BY U. S.
WASHINGTON, April 6.
Another day's devclonments have In
creased the probability nt a rupture with
Jcrmanv. Ilece tit or the French otuciai
report of the Sussex disaster. nnnounclnB
the belief that the channel packet was a
submarine Mctlm and cltlwr the evidence
on which the belief Is based, confirmed
the fear of Washington olllelnls that ft
break cannot be avoided. The report of
the French Admiralty, of course, Is not
nccepted ns conclusive, but there Is lit
tie expectation that nlTMnvlta obtained by
United Stntcs representatives abroad will
dlrfer In any Important deprce from those
on which the l-'ronch conclusions are
drawn
WILSON'S rossmt,t2 roucv.
Officials In Wnililnntnii, In close touch
Iwlth the course of international relations,
Koday could see probable coming events
July in the folIowltiK order:
First - Admission bv Germany that one
otvher submarines was responsible for the
Buytsex attnclc; or proof of that fact by
United States Investigations.
Second Itcfusal by the United Slatci
Government to accept any further prom
ises regarding German Bttbinarlno war-
fcre
Third A comprehensive statement by
'resident Wilson of the progressive steps
lln the submarine controversy, from the
Mtack An tho Lusltanta to tho attack on
khe Sussex This statement to bo made
to C'nngicss Intended to bo read by tho
world as America's position in tho mat
ter Congress not to be asked to tako any
action
Fourth Ills passports to bo handed
Ambassador von Bcmstoift and Ambassa
dor Gerard to bo called home.
Fifth, l'vcnts beyond this point to de-
Ipcnd on Germany. Hellcf Is divided among
Administration men as to whether It will
mean war and as to what by Germany
agarnst tho United States, under present
I conditions, would menn. '
In tho last connection It Is known that
I tho 'Administration :ui never received any
official Intimation, c'-hor in this country
or In Germany, that brcakng off diplo
matic relations would mean war.
A high Administration official today
Inade It clear that while. If tho step Is
sikon, It will bo with the full conscious-
kss that war may result, this Govern-
nt never has received any direct sug-
cation of that sort from Germany.
FTIiere have been Indirect Intimations from
trh German sources, It Is s.ild, but no
knmn authority has conveyed the
aratlon, to tho President, cither
lugh Secretary Lansing or any otner
the heat of tho armed nior-
winlrnvnrsv 111 f?nT1irpJ If VT Q
tile President had such direct Infer-
Jn. Today It became known ho was
'possession of dcflnlto Intimations, but
that they wero all through Indirect chan
nels.
AirnnNATivn siuAsunns.
The steps outlined above aro clearly
seen by probably a majority of Admin
istration advisers. Others eco a differ
ent course that may be pursued. The
second Btcp, they say, may not bo refusal
to accent further promises from Ger
many but tho Insistence on an Iron-bound
keuarantco concerning nil future submarine
Rations, and tho abrogation of tho
I'd merchantmen decrco of March 1
lir ns It conflicts with prior assurances
Iio United States. This, they admit.
Id prove ns humiliating to Germany as
Hither course, if not more so
e steps that would follow Germany a
lal or perhaps even her delay In ac-
Inco of Buch a proposition, they say
Id be the same as given above In
Ither alternative.

WANAMAKER & BROWN'S STORE AS IT IS TODAY 1916
To be able to make this very exceptional
offer right at the most propitious moment of
Spring is as unexpected to us as it will be to
the thousands of persons who intend to buy
new Spring clothing between now and Easter Saturday.
We had prepared six months ago for a normal spring business and now are adequately ready with all our
sales floors filled with fine new Oak Hall Spring clothing. Unexpectedly a manufacturer of good clothing
who tailors suits by the thousands came along and made us a proposition to buy all of his suits for cash at
a price that allowed us to offer our customers just the sort of an opportunity we knew they would apprecu
So we instructed our experts to examine the suits, their tailoring, their cloth: they tested their dyes
they found them in all ways fully up to the standard of quality always insisted upon by Wanamaker & Brown.
Their maker said he needed cash at once to pay for the new woolens now coming into ,his tailoring rooms from the mills far in advance
of their regular dates for delivery through the upset conditions of the woolen market.
HE HAS THE CASH AND WE HAVE THE SUITS.
These 2,684 Light Weight Worsted Suits for Spring, All Will Be Sold
Between Now and Easter Saturday, April 22-4-
and in order to accommodate the demand that is bound to come today and every day until they are sold, we have ready at hand an increased
sales force at Sixth and Market Streets.

( , f
WE ALSO HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE OUR WEST
PHILADELPHIA BRANCH STORE AT 19 SOUTH 52d STREET
until Easter Saturday, where West Philadelphia men and young men will be able to select from
a full stock of these fine suits at these wonderfully low prices. 1 his store will be open
every evening until Easter.

There are new club checks, new club stripes, Glen plaid checks, Tartan plaids in pure wool worsteds Finished and Unfinished, There
are 300 to 400 different kinds of light weight Summer weaves, colorings and combination of colors, and we guarantee the value of every gar
ment offered, s
