'tS Under the rules tho resolution went over until tomorrow morning, at the ;t request of Senator Stone, after Senator Oliver hail raised tho question of tho ;(' absence of a, quorum. 4 A . following s the resolution: Whereas, Tho President has for the reason state din nddrcss deliv ered to the Congress in joint session of February 3, 1917, sovcerd diplo matic relations with tho Imperial German Government by tho recall of u f tho American Ambassador at Iicrlin and by handing his passports to the German Ambassador at Washington; and, Whereas, Notwithstanding this sevcrnnce of diplomatic inter course, tho President has expressed his desire to aw id conflict with the Imperial Government; and, Whereas, The President declared in his said address that if, in his judgment, an occasion should arise for further action in the premises on tho part of the Government of tho United States ho would submit tho matter to Congress and ask the authority of Congress to uso such measures as ho might deem necessary for protection of American scn- men nnd pcoplo in tho pursuit of their peaceful and legitimnto errands on tho high seas. Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the Senate, That tho Scnato approves the action taken by the President ns set forth in his nddrcss delivered before the joint session of the Congress ns stated above. Tho Senate listened quietly to the reading of tho resolution, nnd no debate ensued. The White IIouso wns deluged with telegrams from all over tho country commending the action of the Presidcntln breaking diplomatic relations. In many instances tenders of servico were made by the writers, especially former officers of the army and navy and of tho guard. These offers were turned over to tho departments nnd filed for action if needed. American manufacturers, nlso, were rising to the demands of tho nation. From plants everywhere came assurances that they were nt the service of the country in tho present emergency. This was specially true of steel manufac turers, automobile constructors and tho various munition plants. All of the resources of the Red Cross aro being mobilized. State organiza tions have been directed to be ready for any call that may be put upon them. The President mado an unexpected visit to the State, War and Navy De partments, calling at 12:20 p. m. today. Ho left his office in the White House and hurried to tho Navy Department to tho oflico of Secretary of tho Navy Daniels. En route to tho department the President met Henry Ford. "I nm very glad to see you, Mr. Ford," said the President, halting in tho street despite the bitter cold. He then went on to his conference with the Secrotary of the Navy. In addition to Secretary Daniels there were present at tho conference Rear Admiral Benson, ranking officer of tho navy and head of tho Bureau of Naval Operations. It was understood that the topics under discussion included plans to increase the navy and to effect immediate action in the program of building already approved by Congress. NAVY RAPIDLY WHIPPED INTO SHAPE It is expected 'that the Navy Department will call bnck into service many of the retired officers and officers who have resigned. They will be detailed for service at navy yards nnd for other shore duty, thus releasing for servico on ship board officers now held down by routine duty. In this manner officers can bo obtained for tho reserve fleet. No. information about naval matters was forthcoming. The naval censor ship wds.working with clock-like precision and the majority of tho newspaper correspondents ir, tho cnpital were working in unison with the department to keep secret the movements of vessels. It is sufficient to say that both on the Atlantic and the Pacific the fleets aro ready and the spirit of the men never was better, .v It is understood that nt the conference arranged by the President and Sec retary Dnnicls it was decided that it would be unwise to convoy American liners at present. The President still hopes that Germany will realize the seriousness with .which the American people have approached the present situation and will respect the rights of the United States. But if this is not done, then the Admin istration is well prepared for tho next step. It is violating no confidence to say that tho ammunition magazines of the American fleet nro filled. The attention of the United States Government now centers upon neutral rintions of the world. The President has indicated that his move in breaking relations with Ger many was designed to lead neutral countries in a great moral effect backed by arms if necessary to enforce pence. The President has formally requested full and immediate reports from American representatives in the neutral capitals on the reception of his sug gestion as to similar action. Owing to the fact that this Government had always stood out for individual or parallel action instead of joint action, there are unofficial indications that many of the countries now will decline to enter a parallel effort to force Germany into modifying her submarine war. The ruling classes of Spain and Sweden nre generally understood to bo pro- -',, 1 . ' "" " "'uiiuiimiion Luunuin ISUIl IHH Uklll'l WUy.

These officials pointed to the fact that Germany nlso has largo forces grouped on the Dutch frontiers. But even these officials say they believe that if 'Holland does change her present btatus it probably will be actually to enter the war and not. merely to sever relations as tho President calls on neutral nations to do. Switzerland being an interior nntion is not directly nffected by tho new German warfare. .Hence the greatest significance will be attached to the attitude of tho South American countries, as their decision may prove to bo an influence of great weight on Spain and the Scandinavian countries. South American newspapers and some South American diplomats here have indicated that President Wilson is perhaps now too late in changing his former course of strictly isolated action. Despite the efforts of President Wilson to change Germnny's plans by moral force, there is a string belief that she will not niter. And this view had strong backing when dispatches from Berlin showed thnt close Berlin observers would be surprised if Germany modified her warfnro now. BERNSTORFF GETTING READY TO LEAVE Count von Bernstorff remained quietly at the German Embassy, awaiting the completion of arrangements for his transfer home. Tho Entente Powers will grant safe'eonduct, officials say. But with tho holdlnc ud o. all TintMi n )h NorweKian merchant travel from the United States, tho task of procuring a ship fty on which to send the Ambassador and his suite home is a difficult one.

ACKERMAN BERLIN, Feb. 5. Amcricnn Ambassndor Gerard received the United States Government's formal cablegram withdrawing him from Berlin at 10 o'clock Sunday nighti He expected to deliver tho American Government's statement to Foreign Secrotary Zimmcrmailn nt 11 o'clock Monday morning. Every Amcncnn in Berlin is preparing for war between the United Qtates and Germany. News of tho break in diplomatic relations wns first printed in nn extra1 issued yesterday by the Berliner Zcltung Am Mittng. The report spread like wildfire through Berlin. Americans telephoned tho grave news to each other nnd called up the Amcricnn Embnssy for further In formation. To observers hero any drawing back by Germnny from her announcement of unlimited submarinings would bo the greatest surprise of the war. Germany has now mobilized every ounce of her energy for the expected nnd decisive campaigns. With new troops constantly going to the front, with Zeppelins flying over tho city, with dally reports of submarine successes and the news of successful throwing off of Entente attacks on all fronts, the public is steeled to further bnerificcs. The feeling here is thnt Germany is a gigantic powder, mngazinc preparing for nn explosion in a military sense and that this explosion will shake tho universe. The American Embassy wns u picture of gloom. Secretary Joseph C. Grew,. Commander Ghernrdi, naval nttache, nnd other secretaries and cmployos paced the corridors nervously. Official word was anxiously awaited. Tho brief word issued in newspaper extras was lend nnd reread. Outside, on the streets and in tho subways, the newspaper extras sold furi ously. Announcement officially of the break was calmly awaited by the American colony, however. The question everybody in Berlin nsked was how American officials, corre spondents, Red Cross doctors nnd citizens will reach America with all Eu ropean liners stopped. Tho present indication is that hundreds of Amreicans will bo stranded. Neutral ship lines are refusing to book any passages. A great number of Americans, who had arranged to sail during February and March, were notified thnt their sailings had been cnncelcd. But the exodus of these Americans from Germany had already begun. It started in the middle of last week. With all Scandinavian nnd Dutch liners stopped, Spain nppcars to be tho only open route. On Saturday the Ambassador received a telegram from tho American Embassy in Madrid notifying him what liners were scheduled from there. Ono suggestion that wns circulated in Berlin was that Washington arrnngo for n Norwegian ship to bring Americans from Bergen, Norway, to New York, nnd, returning, to bear back from America Ambassador BcrnstorfT, his stafT and German Consuls. Newspapers huvc been pointing out daily since announcement of Germany's new policy that the small European neutrals Denmark, Holland and Scan dinavia are not expected to oppose the submarines because of fear. No comment from American newspapers has yet been printed. Discussing the general situation crented by tho submarine order, the Local Anzcigcr declared editorially: Thq public should bo satisfied with one warm room and not expect tho whole apartment. The public is warned that it must not only sacrifice more, but must expect even more discomfort by the prolonga tion of the war, if the public wants to help win. The reference to tho "warm room" wns particularly apt today, since Berlin is now in the grip of the most severe blizzard in years. There has been grent suffering. However, no deaths have yet been reported. BRAZIL MAY CUT RELATIONS WITH GERMANY, REPORTS SAY LONDON. Feb. fi. A meeting between tho President of Brazil, Dr. Wenccslau Braz, and the Brazilian Foreign Minister, at which the terms of a protest by the Brazilian Gov ernment to Germany are snld to have been drafted, Is reported In n Ilcuter dispatch from Illo Janeiro. Tho correspondent says that Informa tion obtained from n trustworthy Kourco confirms the opinion that tho Brazilian Gov ernment Is convinced tho tlnfo has como to abandon the attitude of an Impartial spec tator. If the measures indicated In tho Ger man note should Inflict direct harm on vital Interests of Brazil Tho Government Is of the opinion, he says, that If tho United States enters the conflict the only logical course for South American nations will bo to attempt to establish geneial uniformity of continental policy niO JANEIRO, Feb. C. - Tho -Foielgii Minister, Dr Lauro Muller. has been In conference during tho laBt twenty-four hours with President Wenceslau Bruz and with membcrH of tho diplomatic corps He In also In constant communication with tho Brazilian Kmbassy at Washington. The Brazilian reply to tho German noto re garding naval warfare probably will bo mado known tomorrow There Is reason to believe that the attitude maintained by Brazil up to the present ilmo will un dergo a change us a rcsu.t of recent dt velopmcnts. In this city the brenk In relations be tween tho United States and Germany created n deep Impression, and tho action of the American Government was approved enthusiastically. The Leaguo of tho Allies adopted n resolution urging tho President of Brazil to put an end to tho "criminal neutrality which shames us before the world, and Injures us economically and financially, while causing us to bo suspected by tho Allies as passive accomplices of tho Gorman Government." Medclros do Albuquerque, n member of tho Chamber of Deputies, in commenting In his newspaper on the current opinion that Brazil will follow tho present policy of the United States, expresses regret "that Bra zil has missed tho opportunity to tnko the nctlon which the dignity of her tiudltlons commanded her to do long ago; namely, to take her position on tho side of the Allies." "With the force of such a policy," he con tinued, "we should have gained economic advantages, for wo would have found our selves bound up with the commercial In terests of tho greatest nations In the world. But against this noble aspiration of tho Brazilian people, cowardice on tho one hand and, the activities of Germanism on the other, humiliating Brazil, havo reduced us to the unfortunate situation In which we find ourselves today." Deputy Gonzalez says In tho newspaper O'Pnlz: "Under International law the declaration of Germany Is equivalent to a declaration of war against Brazil, and the Government should hand their passports to j LATIN-AMERICAN PEOPLES WITH WILSON; RULING CLASSES BALK By CHARLES P. STEWART Bptcial Cable Stnice of tht Unllril 'l'rtt and Kvtnlng Ledger BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 5. President Wilson Is most likely to receive much South American Bupport In his sug gestion for Joint neutral action If editorial comment is any standard by which to Judge. In Argentine It is necessary to differ entiate between the lower and tho upper class opinion as to America's step. It Is noticeable that the former class the most numerdus Is pro-United States because it is pro-Ally. But the upper class controls the policies of the nation.

We should nt once confiscate tho German steamships In Brazil ian ports." HUKNOS AinnS, Teb, &. La Prcnsa says: "Tho rupture between the United States and acrmany will havo nn enormous moral effect, particularly In view, of the power and prestige of the United States. The step taken by tho Washington Govern ment will compel other countries to emerge from the conditions of relative tranquillity In which they havo been living." La Argentina says: "The nttltudo of Ger many made the rupture Inevitable. Neither the pacific desires of President Wilson nor tho good sense of tho American pcoplo could be harmonized with this insolent Ger man declaration." La Vanguardla says: "The breaking of relations does honor to the Government of the United States. It now becomes neces sary for all neutral States to compel the Central Powers to respect tho rlchta of man cal of tho preponderating opinion of South American newspapers. It epitomized tho statement of former Foreign Minister Mura tore expressing hope that tRe United, States "will be wise enough to avoid war" Im plying that sho can avoid hostilities If she wishes. The editorial was likewise typical In its Intimation that the United States Is re sponsible for the present situation, owing to its alleged attempt to monopolize the credit and prestige of peace making. In pursuance with this attempt the United States, was charged with defeating the con solldatlon of neutrals with the ABC nations proposed early In the war, and to the formation of which the United States at first pledged its aid. of0'!
