Il have deemed it my duty. there
fore, to say TO the imperial German
gOvernn ent that if it is still it's pur-
pose to prosecute ruthless and indis-
criminate warfare against vessels of
commerce by the use of submarines,
notwithstanding the now demon
strated impossibility of conducting
that warfare in accordance with what
the government of the United States
must consider the sacred and indis-
putable rules of international law and
the universally recognized dictates of
humanity, 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 and
effect an abandonment of it's present
methods of warfare against passenger
and freight-carrying vessels this gov
eminent can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
government OF the German empire al
together.
This decision | have arrived at

ity of the action contemplated / am
sure all thoughtful Americans will
look forward 10 with unaffected reluc-
lance. But we cannot forget that we

man OF the rights of humanity, and
that we cannot remain silent while

utterly swept away in the maelstrOm

due regard for our own rights as a
nation, TO our sense of duty as a rep
resentative Of the rights Of neItrals
ton of the rights of mankind to take
this stand now with the utmost solem

Il have taken it, and taken It In
the confidence that it will meet with
your approval and support. All sober
minded men must unite in hopine
that the imperial German govern
ment. which has in other circum
stances stood as the champion of al
that we are now contending for in the
