THE MAILED FIST
OMINOUSLY CLOSER
Wilson Issues Ultima
tum to Germany on Submarine
Conduct that Looks Like
Break of Friendly
Relations.

The question Of peace OF war
between this country and Ger
many is now up to Germany Pres
ident Wilson yesterday issued
what is practically an ultimatum
10 the German government in a
note that was also laid before
both houses of congress, demand
ing that the German submarine
attacks ON commercial vessels car
rying citizens Of the United States
be stopped Immediately. Failure
TO comply with this demand will
be met with the severance of dip
lomatic relations between the two
government by the president.
As a result of this unqualified
demand, congress and the entire
nation are wrought up to a high
tension of expectancy pending
Germany's reply, upon which de-
pends the entrance of the United
States, in a measure at least, into
the great maelstrom which is de
wasting Europe
The gravity of the situation be-
tween the two nations took a firm
hold upon the members Of con-
gress Tuesday when the president
gave notice that he would pass
the submarine matter up to them
af 10 o'clock Wednesday MORN
ing.
Developments vet undisclosed
and Of the most solemn import
ance are expected to follow quick
".
The oft-repeated statement
from the White House and by ad-
ministration officials that before
breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany the president
would fully advise the heads Of
the foreign affairs committees,
was recalled in connection with
the announcement of the meeting
Wednesday, and It was every
where regarded as the fererunner
of development Of utmost grav-
ity.
There is only one instance in
modern diplomatic history in |
which a breaking of diplomatic |
relations between two first-class
powers has not eventually been
followed by war. It is the separ-
ating OF relations between Ger
many and Italy and it stands |
alone against a precedent which
regard as the newt
able.
President Wilson S purpose in |
going before congress is explain
ed to be in relation to the fact
that while the executive branch of
gress alone has the power to de-
break diplomatic relations, con-
gress alone ha sthe power to de-
clare war, and the president feels,
that it should be ad- |
vised Of an action in which il
may subsequently be called upon
TO bear a part.
Baron Won Bernstoff, the Ger
man ambassador, calling upon
Secretary Lansing by direction of
his government, almost at the mo-
ment the president was arrang- !
ing the joint session of congress,
was informed that the secretary |
sould not discuss the situation
with him at this time. II was evi-
dent that the ambassador was

Paris, July 1s-The war has not driv-

thus far show that the first reports Of
men going crazy under the internal fire
Of modern artillery were exaggerated.
DR.. G. Dumas, who has treated all
the cases Of mental trouble in one OF
the French armies, says that his data,
covering the first ten months of 1915,
agrees with the reports Of German doc
tors concerning madness among COM
batants.
He finds the cases Of insanity caused
directly or indirectly by the war in
France are quite as few In proportion
as those in Germany and offers the
figures as refutation Of the theory of
German specialists that the Teutonic
race is showing greater nervous resis
lance than the Latin.
Few Cases Of General Paralysis.
DR.. Dumas report covers 1.18s cases
of arrangement of which only 81 per
cent were cases Of general paralysis,
while in most asylums in time of peace
the proportion is Is per cent. This he
takes as conclusive evidence that the
fatigues and connections of war have
no influence upon the development of
this form Of insanity
General paralytics, however, when
they become delirious, rave about the
war, the same as cases in which tie
symptoms are quite different, and DR..
