GERMANY AND AMERICA.
WAR NOT INEVITABLE.
WASHINGTON, February 4
There is the highest authority for saying that President Wilson does not regard the sundering of diplomatic relations as the inevitable prelude to war. Washington circles fear war, and consider it likely, but hope it is avoidable, because the American people, though they will follow the President in anything, do not want war. Furthermore, President Wilson thinks he can best help the cause of humanity by remaining outside the war.
LONDON, February 4. The newspapers are not surprised at President Wilson's decision. Its promptness is interpreted as meaning that America's amour propre lias been sharply affronted by Germany's insolent dictation, also that President Wilson is conscious that the whole nation is behind him.
