Tho President demands not bing less than the aban donment of submarine warfare against commerce. Poll) the President's address and the American note declare in un equivocal terms (bat only by Ger many acceding to tho demand can the breaking oft of relations be prevent ed. Tho President considers that the next s-tep depends Solely upon Ger many, and that Hirer or lour days constitute a reasonable Mme for a re lily. He is willing to discuss how submarino warfare may be conducted within tho limits ol' internal ional law and humanity aller Goman ny abai - dons bor present methods. Diplomatic history records only one instance as yet whore a breaking of relations between two first-class pow ers has not eventually brought war 1'hat which now exists between (1 br utally end Italy. Attitude ol' Congress. Congress received Ibo President's declaration of lils course with mixed evidences ol' concern and approba tion. Most of tho leaders. Democrat and Republican, thought the Presi dent hardly could do less and some expressed the opinion that his action would not lead to war. Republican Leader Mann alone of all the opposition lenders openly at tacked the President for his stand, lie characterized it as a political play. President Wilson's words leave MO opportunity for double meaning. In his address to Congress he said: "1 have deemed it my duty to say to the Imperial German government that if lt ls still Its purpose to prose clilted States iii n? liiai forced .<> th* ? ci; .?in? dee t'i?. \ t - c.. jH.?

Excerpt from .Vote. The note to Perlin declares: "Tho government of tho United States has been very patient. * ' * ll bas accepted the successive cxpla i.it ions and assurances of the I m pe dal government as, of course, given Ul entire sincerity and good faith, ind has hoped even against hope thal it would prove to ho possible for the imperial government so lo order and control the ads of its naval com manders as to square its policy with the recognized principles of human ity as embodied in thc law of na tion?. * * * li has made every al lowance for unprecedented condi tions and hus been willing to watt un til the facts became unmistakable and were susceptible of only one in terpreta', lon. "it now owes it toa just regard for its own rights lo say to the imperial government that thal time has come. Painfully Evident. "lt bas become painfully evident to it that lille position which it took at Wie very outset is inevitable, na.mely, the use of submarines for the de struction of an enemy's commerce is of necessity because it is the very < haracter ol' the vessels employed and very methods of attacks which their omployment, ol' course, involves, ut terly incompatible with the princi ples of humanity, the long establish ed and incontrovertible rights Ol' neu trale and the sacred immunities of non-combata :\ i s. "li it is still tho purpose of the im perial government to prosecute re lentless and Indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use ol submarines, * * * the gov ernment of i lie Pnlted stati s is at hist forced io tlie conclusion that there is but one course it can pursue. "Unless tin? imperial government should now innmcdlately (leidare and effect an abandonment of its present .methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight-carry ing vessels, tho government of tho United Stales can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the Gorman Empire altogether." Not An Isolated Case. Had the recent attack on the chan nel Steamet* Sussex, the note tells Germany, been an isolated case the United States might have hoped that the submarine commander acted in violation of his government's sol emu pledges and that the ends of jus tice might have been satisfied by a disavowal, reparation and hts proper punishment. Put, it adds, this case "unhappily does not stand alone." "On the contrary," says the note, "the government of tho United States is forced by recent events to con clude that it is only OIK Instance * * * of the deliberate method and spirit of Indiscriminate destruction of merchant vesaels." The United States, the co mm uni ..bandon ia. Warfare ke Consequences* cation doola ros, considers the torpe doing ol' l/lie Sussex not only proved hy Ohe evidence, but actually sub stantiated hy th?; (?orinan disclaimer of responsibility, Facts in Sussex Case. Attached to tho American .note as an appendix are the lads in thc cast? ol' tho Sussex. They show that three American army and navy officers found in the bull of the destroyed siii]> not only screw bolts which cor respond in USO and identification marks with chose ow denman torpe does in possession of ?be French gov ernment at the ra val station ai Tou lon, but that the American officers actually found thirteen pieces of metal, which they have identified as parts ol' Cern?an torpedoes. I Josi d cs this evidence, the note contends, every circumstance either admitted by Corinany in her dis claimer or proved by all'davits of per sons on tho destroyed liner, prove beyond question that she was torpe doed without warning. In short, the United '.Vates pre sents the evidence as flu capstone to an accumulation ol' 'no evidence which is held to prove irrefutably that Germany's assurances to the United Slates have repeatedly been wantonly violated. To Neutral Nations. Copies of the American note were sent lo representatives here, ol' neu tral nations, on the assumption that they are as nundi interested as the Gaited States in the protection of neutral rights. Tile document was not given to any of the belligerent diplomats, as the controversy is re garded as being solely between the I ni tod States and Germany. Count Von Bornstorff already has reiterated to Secretary Lansing that under no circumstances will Germany give up tho submarine as a weapon of warfare, because, she contends, it is a retaliation for Croat Britain's food blockade. The ambassador has de clared, however, that his government will attempt to bring their operations within the law of nations. This the United States is willing to discuss af ter Germany has abandoned her present methods-not before. Clearly the President's demand ls (.hat the case of tba submarine should he restricted to operations against warships. Upon that rock the friend ly relations between the two coun tries may be rent.

The government of the United States earnestly protested. lt took the position that sich a policy could not bo pursued without Mle practical certainty of gross and palpable viola tions of the law of nations, particu larly if submarine craft WOI'C to be employed as its instruments, inas much ns the rules prescribed by law, rules founded upon principles of hu manity, and established for the pro tection of the lives of non-combat ants at sea, could not, in tho nature of the case, be observed by such ves sels, lt ba sex! its protest on the ground that persons of neutral na tionality and vessels of neutral own ership would be exposed to extreme and intolerable risks, and that no right to eino.o. any pari of tho high seas against their use or to expose them to such risks could lawfully bo assorted by any belligerent govern ment. Tho law of nations in these matters, upon which the government of the United States based its pro test, is not of recent origin or found ed upon merely arbitrary principles set up by con von lion, lt ts based, on tho contrary, upon manifest and fm po rat ive principled of humanity, and has long boen established with the approval and by the expr?s* assent of all Civilized nations. "Notwithstanding the earnest pro test of our government, the Imperial Gorman government at once proceed ed to carry out tho policy it had an nouuced.

Even the terms in which it announced its purpose thus still fur ther to relax the restraints it has pre viously professed its willingness and dosire to put upon the operations of its submarines, carried the plain im plication that at least vessels which were not armed would still be exempt from destruction without; warning, and that personal safety would be ac corded their passengers and crews; but even that limitation, if it was ever practicable to observe, has ta fact constituted no check at all upon the destruction of ships of every sort. Oft-Hr prated Assurances. "Again and again the Imperial Ger man government has given this gov ern nient its solemn assurances that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has again and again permitted its undersea commanders to disregard those as surances with entire impunity.
