It is admitted in these quarters that since the Sussex sinking there has been

And Germany further added that if the United States was unable to lift tho

which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision."

Germany called yesterday's, note notice of this "new decision."

GERMAN EMBASSY FORESEES BREAK
German embassy officials admitted they had little hope that a break between
the United States and their Government could bo avoided. The last move has
been made by the Embassy, it was stated, until President Wilson has acted on
the latest German note.
Said one high official in the Embassy today:
"My Government reserved the right to change the pledge it made in the
Sussex case if new conditions arose. New conditions have arisen in that the
fc Entente Allies rejected Germany's peace
tS,vTlie Allies Insist that there shall be no peace without victory. Germany takes
ip" them at their word and is going to make the victory hers.

" "Germanv has counted the cost."

TAFT ASSAILS GERMANY'S
NEW U-BOAT WAR POLICY
CON'COnn. N". II., Feb. 1. Former Tresl
dent Tuft, speaking before the Legislature
here today, denounced Get many's declara
tion of uniestralncd naval warfare, calling
It u "grossly unwarranted expansion of the
lights of blockade."
Mr. Tnft said:
"Tho dangcious crisis In our relations
with Germany, forced by her declared In
tention to sink neutral vessels engaged In
trade with France nnd Hngland, their crews
nnd passengers without warning by subma
line warfare. Is a grossly unwarranted ex
pansion of tho rights of blockndo which
belligerents hao In International law
ngalnst neutrals.
"It greatly emphasizes the necessity for
hastening adequate military and naval pre
paredness ngalnst unjust aggression. It
also takes away the flattering unction that
we are now so remote from a Kuropean war
that we should decllno to enter a world
league to enforce peace, fuch a league In
tho future will be as useful and needed a
protection to us as our leadership and
participation in it are necessary for Its
foi niatlon nnd wise guidance. It is our
duty to oursehes nnd to tho world to help
It piotect Itself against tho horrors of an
other war "
