America Ready
To Meet Crisis

f. In his note to Germany, Presi-
dent Wilson minces no words in
his warning to that country that
her violations Of international law
must end or diplomatic relations
will be severed, and that the Unit
ed States is prepared to accept
the natural consequences of that
step.
Such was the gist of the state
ment which Mr.. Wilson made to
both houses of congress in joint
session yesterday morning. He
explained that while he had pur-
.poseiy set no time limit in which
a reply must be made, the nature
of the note leaves no doubt of its
being an ultimatum. He added
that while no definite time limit
is set, he has insisted that reply
be made by, Berlin Immediately.

President Wilson had planned
so that the cabled text Of the note
reached Berlin about the same
time that he was making public
its contents to congress and the

sent night before last SO that
there might be no hitch in its
timely delivery. ~
No appeal for advice or action
was made by the President, to
congress. He outlined what Ger
