ASKS PROMPT ANSWER

Washington, April 2O.-President
Wilson's long expected final warning
to Germany that the United States
will break Off diplomatic relations un:
less she abandOns her present methods
OF submarine warfare, and immediate
ly declares her intention to do so, was
delivered in a note to Berlin and was
announced by the president in an ad.
dress to joint session OF congress.
The president demands nothing less
than the abandonment of submarine
warfare against commerce.
Both the presidents address and the
American note declare in unequivocal
terms that only by Germany acceding
to the demands can the breaking off
of relations altogether be prevented.
The president considers that the
next step depends solely upon Ger
many and that three or four days con-
stitute reasonable time for a reply.
He is willing to discuss how subma-
rine warfare may be conducted within
the limits of international law and
humanity after Germany abandons her
present methods.
Note May Lead to War.
Congress received the president s
declaration of his course. with mixed
evidences of concern and appreciation
Most of the leaders, Democratic and
Republicans, thought the president
hardly could do less and some ex-
pressed the opinion that his action
would lead to war
. Republican Leader Mann, alone of
all the opposition leaders, openly. at.
tackled the president for his stand. He
characterized it rs a political play.
President Wilson's words leave no
opportunity for double meaning. In
his address to congress he said:
Il have deemed it my duty to say
to the imperial German government
that II 1t Is still its purpose to prose.

rare, the government of the
United States is at least forced to the

perial German government should
now, Immediately, declare and effect
an abandonment of it's present meth
DDS of warfare against passenger and
freight carrying vessels, this govern
mont can have no choice but to sever
diplomatic relations altogether"
The note to Berlin declares:

states has been very patient.

1T now owes it to a just regard for
it's own rights to say to the immortal

1T has become painfully evident to
1t that the position which it took at
the very outset is inevitable, namely.
the use OF submarines for the destruc-
ton of an enemy's commerce is of
necessity, because of the very charac-
ter OF the vessels employed and the
very methods of attack which their
employment, Of course, involves, ut.
terly incompatible with the PRINCIPLES
OF humanity, the long esta blished and
incontrovertible rights of neutrals and
the sacred immunities of noncombat-
ants
Copies Given NeutraIs.
Copies of the American note were
sent to representatives here of neutral
nations, on the assumption that they
are as much interested as the United
States in the protection OF. neutral
rights. The document was not given
to any of the belligerent diplomats as
the recent controversy is regarded as
being solely between the United States
and Germany.
Count Won Bernstorff already has re.
iterated to Secretary Lansing that un-
der no circumstances will Germany
give up the submarine as a weapon of
warfare, because, she contends it is a
retaliation for Great Britain's food
blockade.
The ambassador has declared, how
ever, that his government will attempt
to bring submarine operations within
the law OF nations This, the United
States is willing to discuss, after Ger

methods-not before.
