By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—An authority high up in the administration forecasted today President Wilson's appearance before congress within a week to announce his desire to break diplomatic relations with Germany. This action will certainly result if the German intimation is correct that Von Jagow introduced the Bernstorff play to further delay the settlement of the long discussion of the technicalities of the Lus.  It is the case and for German proclamation regarding warfare against armed merchantmen, the relations between Germany and America depend entirely upon the Ambassador's instructions which are due here in two days. President Wilson is determined not to permit any parleying. If Germany endeavors to cause further complications, the president is prepared to place the whole affair in the hands of congress.
