Conclusions Set Comments From
Out in Appendix Leading Papers

DALLAs Observation-Disclosures
II dent Wilson has taken a stand in
the interests and ideals of the whole
nation. There is but one thing for
the people to do-stand by our presi-
dent.
dents address to congress is in reality
an address to the country and to the
world. without reciting the indict-
ment of Germay the people
of the United States feel. IL unhapply,
they must go to war with Germany, at
least they have exhausted every hon
orable means of averting that
calamity.
The Oklahoman-Whot Germany
is to lose the only friend she now has
among the major nations of the world
will be determined by Germany s
actions following the receipt OF the
note. There can be no
doubt but that the note is an ulti-
matum and final word from the
United States relative to Germany's
barbarous submarine warfare.
San Antonio Light-President Will
son has finally said to Germany what
he should have said Immediately aft
er the sinking of the Lusitania. While
the text and spirit of his message to
congress will be applauded by the
American people. 1t is question If
his great delay in approaching any
thing like positive action has not
not heavily discounted anything he
may say The danger of the situation
lies in the fact that Germany may be-
lieve that this note means no more
than those that preceded it.
Kansas city Star-President Will
son has waited with infinite patience
in the hope that the intolerable con-
dition would be remedied. There is
still a possibility that Germany may
recognize the correctness of the
American position. All Americans
must hope for this outcome. But If it
should not come. the president can
count on the backing OF united
America.
Baltimore Sun-There are only two
types of men who could follow the
course Wilson has adopted: The first
is the weak. opinionless, invertebrate
fellow who in no circumstances can
make a decision. The second Is the
man of exceptional strength and de-
termination. If Germany has suspect
ed the president of the United States
to be of the former class she will be
quickly made to realize her mistake.
Cleveland Leader-The meaning OF
this message to Berlin is plain. 1t can
not be misunderstood. The president
has spoken too strongly now to fall
back into a maze OF diplomatic cor
respondence. Congress will support
the president The country will stand
by its official representatives.
Muskogee Phoenix--A masterful
analysis of the situation. The lam
guage Is extremely courteous. unnec-
essarily so ii seems to us. but force
full The president has pursued the
only possible course open unless he
should choose to beat an ignominious
retreat. This. as we understand It, and
rightly, IS the last word.

not save his life. When the local doc

ored to stop by tightening belt
around Stratton's waist so tight that
his wife removed it to ease her hus-
bands suffering, she said at the in

25 years in the Canadian parliament

of the three men arrested at Hardee-

The Speech That
Congress Heard
The president said:

The president said:
"Gentlemen OF the congress. A
situation has arisen in the foreign re-
my plain duty to inform ycu very
frankly. 1t will be recalled that i'll
February. 1915, the imperial German
government announced its intention
to treat the waters surrounding Great
britain and Ireland as embraced with
in the seat of war ANA to destroy
all merchant ships owned by It's enc
mics that might he found within any
part of that portion OF the high seas
and that II warned all vessels If neu-
tral as well as OF bclligerent owner
ship to keep out of the waters 1t had
thus prescribed or else enter them
ut their peril The government OF
the United States earnestly protested.
L took the position that such Il policy
could not be pursued without the
practical certainty of gross and pal
pable violations of the law of nations,
particularly If submarine craft we're
tu be employed as its instruments. IN
asmuch as the rules founded on prin-
ciples of humanity and established for
the protection of the lives of noncom-
batants at sea, could not in the nature
OF the case, be observed by such YES
sells 1t based its protest on the
ground that persons of neutral ma
tionality and vessels of neutral own
ership would be exposed to extreme
and intolcrable risks and that no right
to close any part of the nigh seas
against their use or to expose them
to such risks could lawfully be as
serted by any bclligerent government.
The law of nations in these matters,
upon which the government of the
United States based its protest. is not
of recent origin or founded upon
merely arbitrary principles set up by
convention. 1t is based, on the con-
trary, upon manifest and imperative
principles Of humanity and has long
been established with the approval
and by the express assent of all civil
liZed nations.
Promises Not Kept.
Notwithstanding the earnest pro-
test of our government, the imperial
German government at once pro-
oeeded to carry out the policy 1t had
announced. 1t expressed the hope that
the dangers involved, at any rate, the
dangers to neutral vessels, would DC
reduced to n minimum by the instruc-
tions which II had issued to its sub
marine commanders ana assured the
government of the United States that
II would take every possible precau-
ton, both to respect the rights Of neu-
trails and to safeguard the lives of
noncombatants

year which has since elapsed mas

Congress Concerned.

II have deemed 1t my duty to say
to the imperial German government
that If 1t is still its purpose to prose-
cute relentless and indiscriminate
warfare. the government of the
United States is at last forced to the
conclusion that there Is but one
course II can pursue; and that un-
less the imperial German govern
ment should now. Immediately. de-
clare and effect an abandonment OF
its present methods of warfare
against passenger and freight-ca
vessels this government can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic rela-
tions altogether"
The Note to Berlin declares:
Note Is Explicit.
The government of the United
States has been very patient It
has accepted the successive eXplana-
tons and assurances of the imperial
government as. of course. given In
entire sincerity and good faith, and
has hoped even against hope that it
would prove to he possible for the
imperial government so to order and
control the acts of its naval COM
manders as to square its policy with
the recognized principles of human
ity as embodied in the law of nations.
