"To thii the Government of the
United States replied on the eighth of

ances given, but adding:
'"The Government oi the United

that the maintenance of its newly -
announced policy is in any \7ay contin

the Imperial Government's note of thy

susceptible of that construction. In

derstanding the Government of the

Government that it cannot for a mo

Germany's Latest Stand.
"On the thirty-first of January,
Wednesday of the present week, the
German ambassador handed to the
accieuiry ul ouiic, aiuug ?;iu a. iuj
mal note, a memorandum which con
tained the following statement:
" 'The Imperial Government, there
fore, does not doubt that the Govern
ment df the United States will under
stand the situation thus forced upon
Germany by the Entente Allies' bru
tal method of war and by their de
termination to destroy the Central
Powers, and the government will fur

closed intention of the Allies gives
back to Germany the freedom of the

" 'Under the circumstances Germany
will meet the illegal measures of her
enemies by forcibly preventing after

Great Britain, France, Italy and in the
Eastern Mediterranean all navigation,
neutrals included, to and from Eng

denly and without prior intimation or
any kind deliberately withdraws tin*
solemn assurance given in the Impe
rial Government's note of the fourtfi
of May, 1916, this government has no
alternative consistent with the digni
ty and honor of the United States but
to take the course which, it in its note
of the 18th of April, 1916, it announc
ed that it would take in the event that
the German Government did not de
clare and effect an abandonment of
the methods of submarine warfare
which it was then employing and to
which it now purposes again to re
sort.
Relations Severed,
"I have, therefore, directed the Sec
reiary 01 state to announce to nis
Excellency, the German ambassador,
that all diplomatic relations betweeu
the United States and the German Em.
pire are severed and that the Ameri
can ambassador at Berlin, immediate
ly will be withdrawn, and in accord
ance to this decision to hand to his
Excellency his passports.
"Notwithstanding this unexpected
action of the German Government, this
sudden and deeply deplorable renun
uiauuu ui us ctbsuriiuces, given iiliS
government at one of its most critical
moments of tension in the relations
oi' the two governments. I refuse to
believe that it is the intention of the
German authorities to do in fact what
they have warned us they will feel
at liberty to do. I cannot bring my
self to believe that they will indeed
pay no regard to the ancient friend
ship between their people and our own
or to the solemn obligations whicn
have been exchanged hptu-APn thom
and destroy 'American ships and take
the lives of American citizens in the
willful prosecution of the ruthless
naval program they'have announced
their intention to adop't. Only overt
acts upon their part can make me be
lieve it even now.
Should flie "tVorst Happen.
"If the inveterate confidence on my
part in the sobriety and prudent fore
sight of their purpose should unhap
pily prove unfounded; if American
ships and American lives in fact be
sacrificed hv their naval fnmmpnflprs
in heedless contravention of the just
and reasonable understandings of the
international law and the obvious dic
tates of humanity, I shall take the
liberty of coming again before the

Washington, Feb. 3.?Breaking off -
liplomatic relations with Germany
toes not mean war but easily mav 1 ,
ead to war. It is an act of protest
haracterized in the usage of nations
,s a "measure short of war." j
The danger that war may follow Is'
.ccentuated by the diplomatic history ;
?f the world. Modern times show no I
nstance of a diplomatic break be
ween two first class powers that has]'
tot been followed by hostilities.
When all the measures short of war i
tave been exhausted, or either nation j
iecides to dispense with them, comes j
he eventuality?war itself.
More than 100 times since 1700 war,
ias begun ueiore it was formally de-1
lared. Only 12 times in the 216 years j
tas war actually been declared Tfefore |
lostilities began. The latest notable j
nstancs was the opening of action or j
he Russo-Japanese war when
tiiral T030 struck a Russian fleet. j
The Hague convention of 1907 took !
iotice of the situation and adopted an !
.rticie making it mandatory for a na- j
ion to declare war before beginning :
LOatilities. -Germany and the United
States agred to it.
It provided, however that thero

After the breaking of diplomai

neasures termed "non-amicat
modes of redress," which are al
'measures short of war." These mod
Df redress may include reprisals, r

state of war. There are preceder

Nq treaties are terminated or si
pended but remain in full force a

decides to denounce them, which u
der international practice genera
calls for a notice of one year.
German consuls In the'.United Stat
and American consuls in Germa
holding their places by virtue of tre;
ies continue to perform their usi
functions but they no longer wo
under supervision of diplomatic <
ficers.
There is no -change in commerc
relations, already badly crippled
the war. Individuals and corpor&tic
may continue their usual affairs, pi
vided they do not deal in conti
band and their obligations are
binding as ever. The courts still ]
main open to them for redress t
they have no facility for direct i
tervention of their diplomatic o
cials. They may, however, be re
resented by the diplomats of t
friendly power selected to care 1

There should be no sequestration
conliscation of private property eitfc
in the United States or Germany,
though it may be taken for use unc
certain circumstances.
The or more German rnerchz
ships tied up in American ports m
be used by the United States, but t
German owners ultimately must
compensated. The ships, scattered

ocean liners and aggregate 628,!
gross tons. Only in case of war
there possibility of their being ab
lutely confiscated, and even then si
action is doubtful, for the Uni

has been a leading exponent of the
violability of private property.

should be no restriction upon :he f:
movement of traveiers between i
two countries other than the rn
policy of the United States to issue
passports to Americans wishing
visit the war zone unless they hi
pressing business there.
In fact, so far as individuals i
concerned the status remains prac
cally unchanged by a break in d
lomatic relations. Upon the condi

This vast task which is being p(
"ormed by merican diplomatic repi
