marine Policy at Once Says Presl-
dents Most Vigorous Note.

Washington.-The communication
which he has drafted as the last word
of the United States to Germany on
the submarine issue was completed by
President Wilson.
The document reviews Germany's
submarine activities since the Lust
tania was sunk almost a year ago.
and makes plain that only an imme-
diate change in the German policy
can make possible the continuance of
friendly relations between the two
nations.
AS the president was putting the
finishing touches to the note. on
which he and Secretary Lansing had
been working for nearly week. offi-
cial word was received by the state
department that the lives of two
Americans had been endangered by
an attack on the Russian bark Impera-
tor by an Austrian submarine. Clark
Bailey Hurst, American consul gen
eral at Barcelona Spain. who sent the
report said the attack was without
warning. One OF the American citi-
zens on board was wounded by shrap-
mel shells fired by the submarine.
A full investigation OF the incident
was ordered at once by the state de-
partment. If the consul generals re-
port is borne out it is possible that rep
resentations similar to those about to
be made to Germany will be sent to
Austria
AS soon as the president had finish
ed the communication to Germany,
he directed that Senator Stone, chair
man OF the senate foreign relations
committee be invited to the White
House to be informed OF the intentions
OF the administration.
The President was represented as
being determined to force the aues-
tion to speedy settlement, without
quibbling or diplomatic discussions.
