that is said or did ty the sentiments
of genuine friendship which the PEG
pie Of the United States have always
entertained, and continue to entertain,
towards the German nation. 1t has.
of course, accepted tie successive eX-
plantations and assurances OF the Inn
perial German government, as given in
entire sincerity and good faith, and
has hoped, even against hope that it
would prove to be possible for the Ger
man government so to order and con-
troll the acts of its naval commanders
as to square its policy with the pr1nci-
pies of humanity as embodied in the
laws of nations. 1t has been willing toA
wait until the significance of the acts
became absolutely Enthusiastically and
susceptible of but one Interpretation.
THAT point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible of
but one Interpretation. The Imperial
German government has been unable
to put any limits or restraints upon its
warfare against either freight or pas
senger ships 1t has therefore become
pdIIIHtIN GNIdtHt tudI tIlt pOSAtiOu
which this government took at the
very outset is inevitable, namely, that
the use of the submarines for the de-
sIruction of an enemy's comerce is of
necessity because of the very charac-
ter of the vessels employed and the
very method of attack which their en-
ployment of course involves. ineom-
patible with the principles of humanity
the long established and incontroverti-
BILE rights of neutrals and the sacred
immunities of noncombatants.
Il have deemed it my duty there
fore, to say to the Imperial German
government that if it is still it purpose
to prosecute relentless and indiserim-
mate warfare against vessels of COM
merce by the use of submarines, not
withstanding the now demonstrated
impossibility of conducting that war
fare in accordance with what the gov
eminent of the United States must
consider the sacred and indisputable
rules of international law and the uni
versally recognized dictates of hui
manity, the government of the United
States is at last forced to the con-
clusion that there is but one course
it can pursue; and that unless the I'M
perial government should now inme-
diately declare and effect an abandon
ment of its present methods of war
fare against passenger and freight YES
sells. this government can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with the government of the Ger
man empire altogether.
81 have taken it, and taken It in the
confidence that it will meet with your
approval and support All sober
minded men must unite in hoping that
the Imperial German government,
which has in other circumstances
stood as the champion of all that we
are now contending for in the interest
of humanity, may recognize the JUS
tice of our demands and meet them in
the spirit in which they are made"

SENATE D. K. 5 ARMY PLAN
MILLION PEACE STRENGTH BILL
PASSED BY THAT BODY.
for 100000 Regular Forces, 100000
Reserves and 261 900 Guards

Washington, d. C.-Military lead
ers are discussing with unprecedented
interest what the bill passed by the
senate Tuesday, providing for nearly
million men in the regular army and
reserve militia, means as step to-
ward preparedness. The measure,
passed without a recorded vote, was
a substitute for the Hay bill passed
by the house.
The senate measure made provision
for regular standing army with a
peace strength of 100000 men, as COM
pared with 100000 under the Hay BILL
retained plan for an army reserve
force of about 261, 900 men and a fed
eralized national guard of about $780,
coo men.
In addition, an amendment was
passed to create a school and college
youths reserve corps in time of war
or threatened war, which would re-
cruit force of trained young men,
schooled by officers of the regular
army, the estimated strength of which
is estimated anywhere from zoe, 900 to
100000.
I'VE are creating here peace army
of million men," declared Senator
Myers, in supporting an amendment of
Senator Reed to make the regular
army 100000. The senate had agreed
previously, by vote of 43 to 81, to an
amendment by Senator Brandegee, in
creasing it from the proposed strength
of 10000 to 100000. The Reed redue-
ing proposal was rejected, AZ to 81,
after a brief speech by Senator Will
liams, in which he referred 70 the sol
emnity of the occasion which would
confront congress soon.
Are we or are we not threatened
with war;" asked Senator Williams.
Are we or are we not threatened with
war from Mexico? Are we or are we
not threatened with war over the SUBJ
marine controversy? Have not we
been called to assemble in Joint ses-
sion, the solemn purpose of which we
do not ourselves definitely under
stand?"
