rage against the lives OF American
people who may be exercising theif
rights under international law to sail
the seas. Such an overt act, partl-
cularly, if it is committed against an
American ship, would bring the crash.
It is known, of course, that Presl-
dent Wilson has weighed carefully
everyone of these possibilities; that
he understands exactly what the fu-
ture may hold for the country, and
that he realizes the gravity OF the
move. his is about to make. He has
concluded, however, that it is USE
less under present circumstances to
negotiate further with Germany along
the lines he has followed since the
sinking of the Lusitania. The Berlin
Government has broken faith with
the United States just as often as
it has given a pledge and the pres'-
dent has decided to force issues once
and for all.
What it is that has happened with
in the last "a hours to bring the
German negotiations to a sudden end
nobody outside the Cabinet circles
seems to know. Until Monday the
President was willing to make one
more effort to reach satisfactory
understanding with Germany. Before
deciding to lay the whole case before
Congress, he worked two days and
NIGHTS, in conference with Secretary
Lansing, on the draft of note which
he projected with the hope of arrV-
inp at such an agreement.
Yesterday, however, the whole SIT
nation changed. When the Cabinet
met the decision of the President to
end all parley was announced. a few
hours later Secretary Tumulty was
directed to 20 to the Capitol and re-
quest Congress to sit in joint session
at / o'clock today to hear this de-
cision publicly proclaimed. That some
new phase developed is certain, but
inst what it was remains to be seen.
