Washington, April 19.-Pres-
ident Wilson today laid the sub.
marine crisis before congress,
stating that the United States
would break off diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany unless the
present submarine policy is i'm
mediately stopped.
In Joint Session.
In the hall of the house of
representatives at one o'clock
this afternoon with congress
sitting before him in a joint
session, the president spoke the
last word of the United States
to Germany in the grave situa-
tion which has kept the two ma
tions on the brink of a break
for nearly a year.
This morning the president
dispatched a note to Germany
declaring that she must change
her submarine methods immedi-
ately if friendly relations we're
to continue.
Demands Change.
"Unless the imperial govern
ment now Immediately declares
the abandonment of the present
methods of warfare against
passenger and all freight car
rying vessels this government
has no choice but to sever diplO-
matte relations with the Ger
man empire altogether" This
was the presidents declaration
at the joint session this after
noon.
He continued:
81 keenly regret the possibil-
ity of the action contemplated
which I feel sure all Americans
feel very deeply"
Rec0lls L0oO
The president opened his ad-
dress by recalling the history OF
the submarine blockade and re.

suits. He recalled the laws of
the nations, saying that some of
the laws had recently originated
and we're based on imperative
principles of humanity. He then
detailed the attacks of the sub
marines which he declared were
unwarned, unjustified and truly
cruel. He recited the Lusitania,
Arabic and Sussex cases and un-
warned attacks.
Attacks Made Frequent.
"Without a shadow of justif-
cation, again and again, has
Germany made unwarned at
tacks after assurances have been
given the United States,'' he
said. "One of the most recent
and shocking instances of this
method Of warfare was the de-
struction of the steamer Sussex.
1t stands forth as did the sink
ing of the Lusitania. It is as
singularly, tragical and unjusti-
fable as the Lusitania. It con-
stitutes truly the terrible exam
pie of submarine warfare which
the German commanders have
conducted for the past twelve
months.
Tried to Be Friendly.
eff this stood alone there
could be a disavowal, some ex-
planation, some evidence of
criminal mistakes or wilful dis
obedience of the commander of
the vessel that fired the torpedo
might be sought or entertained.
But unhappily this does not
stand alone. It is but one in
stance. The United States has
been very patient and tried to
remain friendly. I hope l have
your support"
While the president was tell
ing the joint session about the
submarine issue, Ambassador
Bernstorff was lunching at an
exclusive club.

CANADIAN NORTHERN

Traffic is almost tied up on the
Canadian Northern railroad because
culverts between Williams and Bau-
dette are washed out. No freight
moved Monday and delayed passen-

Expression of St. Paul

Nothing doing" was the unani-
nous expression of Great Northern
railway officials in st.Paul today to a
United Press representative of the
Pioneer, in regard to the reports that
car shops would be constructed in
Bemidji.
They also denied that the yards at
either Cass Lake or Devils Lake. N.
D., would be moved here.
Rumors Current.
Rumors have been current for some
time that the Great Northern would
construct shops and move their yards
to this city. Some reports were that
the Cass Lake yards would be moved
to this city and other reports were
that the shops at Devils Lake, N. D.,
would be moved here on account of
the supply of water at Devils Lake.
Rumors we're that the railway
would spend more than a million dol
lars in the construction of railway
yards and ships. If the yards and
shops were constructed here about
800 would be employed.
Local Officers Silent.
Local railway officials refused to
deny or affirm the reports, so the
Pioneer sent United Press repre-
sentative to interview officials in St.
Paul in regard to the reports.
Nothing doing" was the reply Of
the St. Paul officials.
A. G. Deverell, superintendent of
motive power, in an interview said:
II don't think that there is anything
doing. It looks inconsistent.
J. J. Lake, superintendent Of cars
and yards. said: IT never heard OF
I it and don't believe it." .s55 ~ - :, )
Never Conddered. -.-,.,-
T. The office of Vice President Cru
ber issued a statement saying:
Nothing doing. 1t would not be
necessary. No good purpose would
be gained by constructing yards at
Bemidji. It has never been oflcially
considered"
Railway officials admitted that
there is some trouble all through
North Dakota on account of alkah
water but stated that the trouble is
not sufficient to cause q change OF
shops and yards.

YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles in the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, ticking
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
allyfeveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis, or even stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. tits free from alcohol or drugs.
