Washington, April 19.--It was learns
ed this morning that the presidents
new note to Germany, supposed to ba
his last word in the submarine cons
troversy, had been cabled to Berlin.
No intimation as to its contents was
given by officials here.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, has an appointment to
meet Secretary Lansing at 1880
o'clock this morning. At this hour ha
is still hopeful that the crisis will ad.
just itself
The administration is confident Of
the support of the nation in whatever
course is taken. An indication OF this
support was seen in last nights pass>
age of the army bill by the senate, in
creasing in general way the active
reserve forces to one million men.
Washington is tense with excite.
ment this morning as 1t awaits the
hour when President Wilson will ap-
pear before the joint session of con-
gress and deliver his message which
is expected to answer Europe's ques-
tion, What will America do?" deter
mining Americas place in the great
struggle.
Every seat in the house chamber
where the president will speak was
spoken for last night. Though admis-
sion to the galleries is restricted to
persons holding tickets, there was a
tremendous crush of persons seeking
seats or standing room.
Before the joint session opened
most of the people in Washington be-
lieved that a break in diplomatic re-
lations was imminent It was held
possible, however that the president
might mean merely to issue an ulti-
matum to Germany, advising the Ber-
lin government of his Intentions to
sever relations at the next offense.
