CONGRESS IS CONSULTED BECAUSE
OF ITS POWER TO DECLARE WAR
Only One Instance in Modern History President
Pointed Out This Morning, Where Diplomatic
Break Has Not Been Followed by Hosti|ties
Note Does Not Contain Time Limit

WASHINGTON, April l9.-President
Wilson has sent note to Germany warn
ing her that unless attacks on merchant
men carrying Americans. in violation OF
the law, are stopped diplomatic relations
will be severed The President explained
that the note practically is an ultimatum,
but does not contain time limit. A de-
mand is made, however, that Germany re-
ply Immediately.
The President revealed this fact to Sen
ators Stone and Lodge and Representa-
tves Flood and Cooper, ranking Demo
cratic and Republican members of the con
gressional foreign affairs committees, at
conference at the White House early to-
day The President went over the situa-
ton very thoroughly with the committee
leaders and told them explicitly he be-
leved the United Statees could not remain
on friendly terms with Germany if Ameri-
can lives continued to be placed in jeop-
ardy hy German submarines.
As the committeeman left the White
House they made no effort TO conceal
what the President had told them. The
President made it plain that if Germany
still cared to conduct her submarine war
fare in accordance with rules Of interna-
tonal law the American government will
be glad TO continue friendly relations.
The note to Germany went forward last
night in code by way Of Copenhagen. The
President wanted it to be in the hands Of
Ambassador Gerard or the German foreign
office when he appeared before congress.
The members who heard the President
outline it did not understand it to be an
ultmatum in the sense that term is tech
nically used, but all considered it TO have
that effect Senator Lodge asked the
President about the use OF the word i'm
mediately in that connection and wa
told that it meant Germany should b.
given an opportunity to receive the com
munication and TO make reply.
The President consults congress at thi
stage, it was pointed out, because while h
has the authority to break off diplomati
relations congress alone has power to de
clare war and there is only one instance Il
modern history where break in diplc
matte relations between two first clas
powers has not been followed by war.
is the situation between Germany an

Secretary Baker would not discuss Gen.
Scott's mission. 1t was assumed. however.
that his report after conference with Gen.
Funston will go far toward determining
the course to be pursued in Mexico.
Until the German situation is clearly
understood II IS impossible to forecast the
administration decision as to Gen. Per

pear to agree that some radical move must
be made soon, either TO reinforce the
troops IN Mexico or TO withdraw them. as
IN their present conditions officers feel
they are unable to press the pursuit Of
Villa properly and their presence only
tends TO irritate the Mexican people.
