TO ADDRESS CONGRESS AT 2 O'CLOCK Continued from r One , The prayer of tho Rev. Henry N. Coudon, tho blind chaplain in the House, wns devoted entirely to the crisis. He said: Our Father in heaven, wc appeal to Thee with all the fervor of soul for wisdom and guidance in the present crisis, that wc may he per mitted ns a neutral nation to maintain peace with all the world. Guard our President nnd ull of his advisers and nil who have tho nation's welfare at hand to an amicable adjustment of all international questions that we may pursue our way with justice and equity to nil in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Whether a diplomatic break would be followed by hostilities between the United States and Germany was somothinR that no man could say. It wai frankly declared in diplomatic circles that they hoped not. Singularly, this hopo was very strong in Entente quarters. It was said that the moral effect of a break in diplomatic relations between Gcrmnny nnd the United States would be very grent. There has been a general feeling here that In nny action that tho United States should take it would have the united support of all neutrnl nations, who nlso,nro affected by the new German attitude. It was admittedly too early to say how far this support would go President Wilson, it is known, has been hopeful nil, along that if n diplomatic break should be necessary it would stop theic, and that there would be no necessity for the United States going any further. In official quarteis generally the feeling was of tho utmost gravity. Thcie wns just it slight ruy of hopo it) one thing. It was learned that tho last words of tho President's address to Congress is u fervent prayer that God will grant that the United States even yet nay be able to avoid being drawn into the world wnr. The President called Secretary of State Lansing to the White House at 10:30 nnd informed him of his decision. Lansing looked very grave and worn as he left the Executive Mansion and would make no comment. LANSING REFUSES TO EXPLAIN Bundled up to his ears in a long, heavy overcoat and further protected with u long white muffler, Lansing stepped off the White House portico, lighted a cigarette and walked slowly over to the State Department. Under his left arm, hugged tightly, was his historic brown-leather portfolio. Ho was flnnkcd rear, front nnd sides by newspapermen, clamoiing excitedly and entirely without the usuul courtesv for official word. As he reached tho front of the White House executive ofllces, still en route to the department, he was joined by Presidential Secretary Tumulty, who had just returned from the Capitol to arrange with House and Senate leaders for the joint session this afternoon. They stopped a moment and talked together, in the face of the Littct est wind that has swept Washington this winter, but neither would make any comment further than: "The President is to nddress Congress at 2 o'clock tlm afternoon. Beyond that we can say absolutely nothing." After Secretary Lansing lclt 'ho White House, the President went over to tho executive offices into the Cabinet room and snt alone nt his vfrotk. He brought over a bundle of papers, covering loutine business and walked briskly into tho chamber where yesterday the Cabinet met with him in discussion of the historic step taken today. An interesting question has arisen as to how Von Bcinstorff will get back to Germany or whether he can get back thero at all. The United States is not under obligations, it is said by diplomats, to see that a dismissed Ambassador is landed on his home soil. There are no German boats sailing from tho United States, and if he went aboard an English liner he would probably be turned over to n British watship befoie he was landed. There is no means of trans'portation between the British ports nnd Germany, nor is it possible, since Italy went into the war, to get into Germany through Trieste. Von Bernstorff might go to Cuba or, moie likely, South Anieiica. "GOOD-MORNING, BOYS." ENVOY'S GREETING "Good-morning, boys," was the smiling giceting the German Ambassador gave the score of newspaper men who called at the Embassy after the news of the break became Tinown. Bernstorff, always suave, always polite and apparently never woriied, frisked himself into and out of sight betore any questions and thcie were hundreds ready could be asked. He sent word he might "see you boys later." Bernstorff got into touch with Doctor Rittcr, Swiss Minister, aj soon as he received tho news of the break tluough the press. At that time he had not yet been officially notified. He made provisional ariangements to cover all im .mediate details with Doctor Rittcr in tegard to the taking over of Gciman in terests in the United States by Switzerland. Doctor Rittcr will call upon Secretary of State Lansing as soon as noti fication of Bernstorff's recall has been given the Teuton envoy, to discuss with Lansing the details of his new interests. To all questions this morning Bernstorff lephed: "Please ask the Swiss Minister. I am only a pi mite citizen. I have no right to talk for my Government now. As a private citizen I have never dcsiicd to talk." When as!ed icspecting the details of his coming journey and of the transfer of Germany's interests to Switzerland's Minister, Bernstoiff said: "I don't know. This is the first experience of this kind in my life, and the method of procedure is, therefore, new to me." He jocularly suggested that "perhaps with so many ships kept in Ameiiean ports" he would be sure to have some boat to take him home. As Loon as Doctor Rittcr learned that Bernstorff had been inquiring for him at the Swiss Legation, he immediately called at the German Embassy and the two diplomats talked over the question of transference. , Whether Switzerland will take over German interests i England nnd Russia, now represented by the United States, Bernstorff was not j pared to say. If Austria-Hungary should send a note identical with the German note. Count Tarnowski, will also be handed his passports. But if the dual monarchy should pursue a different policy, moie in accord with international law, there would be room for negotiation, and diplomatic relations with tho United States might lenain unbioken. At the Austrian Embassy it wus said that no intimation had yet been received in legard to the course which Vienna intended to pursue. But in high official Austro-Hungarian circles it is certainly hoped that the Austrian note will not be1 so flatly uncompromising as the German note. There is a distinct disposition in these circles to recognize the fact that it would be the part of wisdom for the dual monaichy to conduct its small pait of the sub marine blockade in accordance with the principles of international law, and thereby to gain the United States as a friend instead of as an enemy in the peace conference which will end the war. It is pointed out that Austria-Hungary does not live by the German creed of "Anything which serves the interests of our State is right"; but, on the contrarj, is governed by a clique of gentlemen whose prin ciple is : "There are certain things that a gentleman cannot do." AUSTRIA NOT EXPECTED TO BE INCLUDED It is not yet known in Washington what promises Vienna has made to Berlin in regard to the "unrestricted" submarine warfare, and it is hoped that the strong disinclination of the Austrians nnd the Hungnrinns to place them selves before the wofld as tho moral brethren of the German junkers has Impelled them to pursue a mbre decent course of their own. Count Tarnowski will present his credentials' to Secretary Lansing tomor row morning. And there is sincere hope, both in tho State Department and the Austro-Hungarian Embassy, that his first visit will not also be his last. No communications of nny sort have been received from Turkey nnd Bul garia. It is emphasized that even if the United States should break diplo matic relations with Germany and later become involved in war with her there is no reason why friendly relations with these allies of Germany should not be preserved. The interest of official circles has turned also to the course of action which the other neutrals, European and American, will pursue. It is believed that Denmark and Holland will not dare to break relations with their powerful neighbor; but it is strongly intimated that Argentina and possibly Spain and Norway will follow the expected action of the United States and hand passports to the Kaiser's reprc sentatives.

DERI.1N Teb S In discussing and In dorsing tho Government's decision for an Intensified U-boat war. the German news papers use language of remarkable moder ation, and they evidently seek to reassure meilca. honing that President Wilson will see that this new venture Is the only way and tho cpilckest to end the war. Every discussion of the all-absorbing question shows that nvoidance of a break with the United States would be hailed with Joy by an overwhelming majority of the nation If possible In connection wl'.h tho unrestricted submarine campaign There was much excitement among Amer icans In Derlln, but little fear of serious complications between Genrany and Amer ica, most of thm believing that Germans 's provision for unmolested passage of Amer ican niallboats opens way for continuance of friendly rolatlons. The Socialist Vorwarts expresses the opinion that the U-boat note will be ap plauded by nil Americans sharing President Wilson's Ideas as expressed In his Senate speech The Socialist organ hopes that American policy will never stray from the lines defined In that- speech, since that would mean woo to the world It continues. "An overwhelming majority ot the Ger man people are In harmony with the Gov ernment's desire (o malntalp Jhe best pos sible relations with America, America's great part of triumph In the war is not to play the confederate of one of the belliger ent parties, but to be the ally of all peace lovers on both sides. . , V STILb HOPEFUL "The German peoplo are hopeful that the decision ot the Imperial Government will result In a shortening of the war.

It says the few men In high places, who have taken the decision, are answerable before their Own people and before history, "Only the most cogent nnd compelling reasons." says the newspaper, "can have Induced the Emperor and Dr. von Uoth-mann-Hollweg to" sanction the measure. Doubtless there have been negotiations be. tween Berlin and Washington, but we are Ignorant of their results. It cannot be imagined, however, that Jhere can be any new yielding to American protestations, and it, therefore must be assumed that the Imperial authorities are firmly convinced that German, strength will be able tci hold Its own against an onset by the whole world.

NUMBER l,425,00ql 1,075,000 Arc Austrians and Hungarians and 350,000 Are Germans WASHINGTON, Feb. S. There are a the United States today approximately aso,. 000 unnaturalized Germans and 1,071;, 000 Austrian nnd Hungarians who still art nllens. Theso nro tho residents of trta country who would bo subjected to the rules of war In the event of developments more serious thnn a break In diplomatic relations. But the treaty with Prussia would exempt tho CIcrmnn citizens from mo testation for nluo mopths nfter war Is de clared, and German mcrchnnts may depart without restriction. Tho samo applies to Americans In Prttssla. The foregoing figures nro based upon tha number of unnaturalized Immigrants from tho Central Powers In tho United States at the tlmo,of the last ofllclal census and on Immigration rrom thoso countries up to January 1. A combination of tho records of tho Cen sus and tho Immigration nurcaus Bhowt there nro In thlg country 2,893,638 persons of German birth. 1,763,737 of Austrian birth nnd 1.061,052 of Hungarian birth, the total for tho dual monarchy being 2,824,68!), The Inimlgintlon from Germany since 1010 was 392,205; In tho blx months ending Decem ber 31, K971, The Immigration from Austria during tho same period was 088,701 and fiom Hungary, CGG.343. Ill tho statistics of tho last otTlclal census the number of foreign boin males over' twenty-ono jcara of age Invariably equaled one-half of tho total fotclgn-born popula tion. Assuming that tho number obtaining naturalization papers In tho period sines tho last census gave official statistics Is twcnty-sK per cent, tho number of Ger mans will bo between 32r,000 rtnd 300,000 nnd the number of Austto-Hungnrlans sllghtl In excess ot 1,000,000. Tho icsl dents ghlng Austria or Hutigiry us their placo of birth lncludo n vnilcty of races mostly Poles, Lithuanians, Slovaka and some Germans. Tho peicentngo of Ger mans who hnvo become natut allied or havs taken their first papers nt tho tlmo of the list census Is much larger than that nf Germany's chief ally In tho war According to tho last census the greatest mmibci of persons of German birth reside In Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio. New York Pennsylvania, Missouri, Indiana and Mlchl. gan New York had tho gteatest number, followed by Ohio and Wisconsin. Pennsyl vania led all tho other States In tho num ber ot Austrians nnd Hungarians. New York and Illinois followed, the numbers In other States being small In comparison.
