SENDS ULTIMATUM
Abandon Methods Of Submarine
Fighting or Break with U. S.

President Wilson Demands an Immedi.
ate Reply and Presents Case to Con-
gress.
Germany having deliberately broken
every promise made to the United
States to conduct her submarine war.
fare within the limits of law with re.
spect to the dictates of humanity, Pres
ident Wilson told congress Wednesday
that: 81 have deemed it my duty,
therefore, to say to the imperial Ger.
man government that if it is still its
purpose to prosecute relentless and in
discriminate warfare the govern
ment of the United States is at last
forced to the conclusion that there is
but one course it can pursue; and that
unless the imperial German govern.
ment should now Immediately declare
and effect an abandonment of its pres
ent methods of warfare against pas
senger and ght-carrying vessels,
this government can have no choice
but to sever diplomatic relations alto.
gether."
A note, the United States last word,
practically an ultimatum, and demand
ing an immediate reply, was sent to
the Berlin. foreign office Tuesday night.
The President asked no action what
ever of congress. He simply Informed
it of the accumulation of facts prov.
ing that Germany S assurances to the
United States are being violated; that
the submarine campaign, despite the
earnest protests of the United States,
is being conducted with renewed vigor
in contravention of all the laws of ma
tions and humanity and that he means
to sever relations unless it is brought
within the law.
Diplomatic history of the world
shows that such course has been fol.
lowed by war, but there are reasons
why it may not so result in this ease.
In fact there is feeling in Washing
ton that Germany has too much to
lose and too little to gain by declaring
war ON the United States.
1t is now up to Germany. President
Wilson has given her the choice of viz
tuallv giving up her submarine war
fare or break with the United States.
The President realized the full i'm
port of his demand when he said that
this undersea campaign cannot be con
Quoted without violation of law and
rights.
To agree to the terms of the United
States, Germany must cease her indis-
eliminate sinking of enemy and neu-
trail ships alike. Germanys present
policy is what the President terms
ruthlessness. The object is not only
to destroy British ships and prevent
food and supplies reaching England,
but to destroy as much of the world Is
tonnage as possible against the time
when there is peace and German ship
ping again enters into competition
with the rest of the world.

FRENCH ON OFFENSIVE.
Take German Trenches and Men at
Verdun-Russians Capture Trebizond
from Turks.

The French have assumed the often
sive in the fighting around Nerdun and
have captured numerous German tren-
ches and several hundred prisoners.
1t is claimed in Paris that Germany
has been obliged to bring large rein
forcements from the other battlefelds
in order to strengthen its lines on the
western front. A large force of Rus
slams have landed at Marseilles to
fight with the French army. 1t is sup
posed they made the voyage by a
roundabout way from Archangel. The
Russians have gained great victory
over the Turks by capturing Trebi-
zond, one of the most important cities
of Asia Minor, where garrison of
$4,000 men was maintained. 1t is UNI
derstood that a large number of Turk
ish soldiers fed, but it is probable
that many were taken prisoners. The
Russians made the attack by both land
and water, and the guns of the war
ships completely reduced the defenses
of shore batteries.
