Big Things Brewing. WASHINGTON, June 18 (Reuter). -A source here which la usually well-informed, expressed the belle? to-day that big things are likely to happen soon, probably this week.

They believe that the expulsion of German Consuls and ugents is not single unrelated net but the first of a Buccession of

In support of this view they point out that despite his complete re- covery from a small ailmeni, Pre- sident Roosevelt has cancelled almost all his appointments this weckt, pre- sumably to give time to matters of high importance.

Diplomatic Breach? WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuter). -First renctions here' to Mr Sumner Welles' announcement about the closing of German consulates and other organisations is that it is a big step towards breaking off diplomatic

Even so, the United States order will be a hard blow to the German cause here.

Bombshell Announcement

The administration also probably knows that the general public suspect that German consulates in the United States are less for strictly consulor business than for organising
