UNITED STATES SENDS
ULTIMATUM. SUBMARINE
WAR MUST CEASE

Washington, ID. G., April l9.--"l
have deemed il my duty, therefore"
president Wilson told congress, "to
say to the imperial German govern
ment that If il is still its purpose TO
prosecute relentless and indiscriminate
war o o 0 the government of the
United States is at last forced TO the
conclusion that there is but one course
IT can pursue, and that unless the
imperial German government should
now Immediately declare an abandon
ment Of its present methods Of war
fare against passenger and freight
carrying vessels this government can
have no choice hut TO sever diplomatic
relations altogether"
President Wilson was speaking be-
fore the two houses in joint session,
informing them of his final ultimatum
10 the German government relative
TO its indiscriminate policy of tor
pedoing ships at sea.
A note, Americas last word, prac-
tically an utimatum, and demanding
an immediate reply, presumably was
in the Berlin foreign Office as the pres
ident was speaking. II was sent last
night in accordance with the presi-
dents plan to have il before the Ger
man government at the same moment
he was addressing the American con-
gress
The president asked no action what
ever Of congress. He simply informed
IL of the accumulation Of facts which,
he said, prove that Germany's assur-
ances TO the United States are being
violated; that the submarine campaign
despite the earnest protests Of the
United States, is being conducted with
renewed vigor in contravention Of all
the laws OF nations and humanity,
and that he means to sever relations
unless it is brought within the law
Diplomatic history shows that such
a course is almost certain To be follow
ed by war.
The presidents note and his addres s'
to congress are final They mark the
end of diplomatic exchanges. A con.
tinuance Of the long standing friendly
relations. the president made clear
depends alone on Germany future
conduct.

MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL

Realizing that n successful Choral
Society in any town indicates that the
better class of people predominant
(for Benjamine Ide Wheeler, Presi-
dent Of the University of California,
said: Wherever you find good music
cultivated and encouraged, there will
you also find the best and the most
lawahiding people. II is there that
our best citizens will make their
homes.") The higher officials Of the
L. r. & s. w. Railroad have suggested
running special excursion train from
III Paso to Tucumcari next year, gath
ering people up from all the towns
along the line and bringing them to
the great May Musical Festival at
Tucumcari. As Tucumcari Philhar-
monic Society's concert is proving
such tremendous success this year
II is more than probable that the
dream Of Tucumcari becoming the
Oberammergau of New Mexico will
be realized.

FIELD CLEARS in
RACE FOR AUTOS

the Telegram for it easily predomi-
mates the field through its many
merits. Money conditions are bet
ter than ever before, and the recety-
ing tellers in the banks are getting
writer's cramps from writing entries
in pass books True there are peo-
pie who croak that these prosperous
times cannot last, but this ridiculous
propensity to see and borrow trouble
is overworked. They are the kind
that do not believe that the Tele-
grams big $4,350 club is an oppor-
tunity for themselves.
Should Not Worry.
You should not worry because
you do not obtain the results you
think you should all the time. Every
thing worth while takes time to ac-
complish. Therefore, give yourself
and friends time, always bearing in
mind that the close Of the big cam
paign and the time for the distribu-
tion of the six-cylinder Overlands and
the other big prizes is less than three
weeks away.
Attend to your campaign for the
car just as you would any other
proposition. Use judgment and sys-
TEN, and you absolutely cannot fail
to obtain your profit from the cam
patgn. Your spare time is all that
is required to obtain your choice Of
any prize that you want. Just do as
much as you can each day and don't
borrow trouble. You will come out
la winner in the end. 4.
