(ey Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON. April 14.-President Wilson and the cabinet went over the submarine crisis again today and re- affirmed their determination to bring the situation with Germany to an is sue.
 ! The decision tO inform Germany that the recent accumulation of evidence of ships destroyed in submarine war | fare leads to the inevitable conclusion ! that her promises to the United States are not being fulfilled. remained un- changed. The time of despatching a communication to Berlin appeared to be the only point undecided. In Con gress today a report was widely circu- lated that the forthcoming note would in itself give notice of severance of diplomatic relations.
 There were repeated indications to- night that the note would be a state meni of the American case up to date without anything in the nature of an ultimatum, and still would leave the way open for Germany to avoid the long feared break in diplomatic rels tions. It was plain. however. that il
 
 government last word.
 Senators of the foreign relation com , mittee who have been told by the President that they would be consult ed before any drastic steps were talk en. declared tonight that they had not yet been advised of the details of the next step. Chairman Stone conferred with Secretary Lansing during the day but declared there was nothing new in the situation.
 At the State Department there was renewed evidence that the United States considers it's case complete ev- en without the affidavits which arriv- ed today on the steamer St. Paul. Sec retary Lansing acknowledged that evi- dence gathered from the French gov ernment to prove the identity of the, submarine involved in the Sussex at tack had been placed in possession of the American government.

Some officials declared the American note would go within AS hours. Tn all of the case there is evidence of the gravity of the situation.
 All officials agree that the accumu- lation of evidence has brought tho situation between the two countries to the point of break or a decided change on Germany's part. As the president and the cabinet are deter mined that the present condition can not continue. the crisis which has pre- vailed tetveen the two nations for nearly year has reached a point where action must take place.
 Germany mentions nothing in the way of time. and the President has not decided 10 narrow the case down to a matter of days, but the position of the United States will be none the less un- aherable on that account. Only a dis closure of the exact terms of the doc ument can show what are the possi- bilities for the next development.
