And New Note to Berlin Is Now
Almost Ready.
WILSON TAKES STAND
AGAINST THE KAISER
Note Will Declare That Ger
mans Have Violated Rights
of America and Must Live
Up to Their Pledges.

Washington, April 1.-THE inior-
nation in possession Of the United
States, which proves the president
and his advisers believe that German
promises and pledges that submarine
warfare would be conducted in ae-
cordance with International law have
been ruthlesslg Vi lated has been
completed. The rev nete To Berlin is
finished with the exception OF the fl
nal polishing now being given Il By
the president. II states the issue in
explicit terms, and makes it plain
that this government will no longer
be satisfied with promises ef good
faith The issue IS placed squarely
before Germany. If that government
insists that its st note to the Unit-
ed States is an exact statement Of
the facts and that it intends CON
tinuing its present campaign, a dip
lomatic break cannot be avoided. It
is now up 10 the kaiser's govern
. ment.'
This was today's position in the
submarine controversy. as outlined by
one of the closest advisers of the
president: The situation could hard
ly be more grave, he said. The only
bright spot. he said. is the reitera-
ton in press dispatches that the Ger
man government is ready to make
concessions to meet the views Of
the United States government, but
these concessions must be more than
mere form. officials say They must
be assurances that cannot be violat-
eli by individuals. Otherwise the
friendly relations between the two
governments are sure to be interrupt
ed. The only changes made in the
note, as the result of confidential com
munication sent by Ambassador Ger
ard, has been the elimination of sew
eral sentences The note still charges
that German good faith is still ques-
toned as the result of the acts Of
German submarine commanders, and
cites the fact that the evidence held
by the administration proves beyond
reasonable doubt that unarmed YES
sells have been sunk without warning.
