Washington, April 19.-President
Wilson has sent the note to Ger
many warning her that unless
attacks on merchantmen carrying
Americans in violation of interna-
tional law are stopped diplomatic re-
lations will be severed.
The president reviewed this to Sem
ators Stone and Lodge and Represen-
tatives Flood and Cooper, ranking re-
publicans and democrats of the con-
gressional committee, in conference
at the White house early today
The president in his address to con-
gress at l p. m. today will reveal
fully what he has told Germany. The
note and his address, the congress
sional leaders said, contains the plain
statement that the alternative is the
breaking off of friendly relations.
Note an Ultimatum.
The president explained that the
note practically is an ultimatum, but
does not contain time limit. A de-
mand is made, however, that Germany
reply Immediately.
The president went over the situa-
ton very thoroughly with the COM
, mittee leaders and told them explicit
ly he believed the United States could
not remain on friendly terms with
Germany If American lives continued
to be placed in jeopardy by German
submarines He laid before them all
information he will convey in his ad-
| dress to congress. The demand for d
stop to illegal warfare, the president
told the leaders, is unequivocal. AS
| the committeeman left the White
I house they made no effort to conceal
what the president had told them.
VIII Give Germany Chance.
| The president made 1t plain, how
ever, that if Germany still cares to
continue her submarine warfare in
accordance with the accepted rules OF
international law, the American gov
eminent will be glad to continue
friendly relations. 1t was disclosed
that the president In his address to
congress will not go into extended de-
| tail about the incidents which have
caused the American government tc
view the situation with such gravity
The president takes 1t for granted that
members of congress are familiar
with them.
i Sent Last Night.
The note went forward last night IL
code by way OF Copenhagen. Thu
president wants 1t to be in the hands
Of Ambassador Gerard or the German
: foreign office when he appears befor,
congress.
The members who heard the presf
dent outline it did not understand |
to be an ultimatum in the sense tina
the term is technically used, but al
considered it to have that effect.
/, Senator Lodge asked the presiden
about the use of the word 'immedi
ately'' in that connection, and wa
told that It meant that German.
should be given an opportunity to re
ceive the communication and to max
I reply.
The evidence in the Sussex cas-
e was referred to and the presiden
pointed out the apparent similarity 4
the accounts OF the time and place G

admitted by Germany to have bee
, made by one of her submarines on
ship In that vicinity. The presider

This decision I have arrived at
with the keenest regret. The pos
sibility of the action contemplated,
am sure all thoughtful Ameri-
cans will look forward to with un.

Declares Relations Will Be
Cut if Kaiser Does Not
Alter Policy.

Washington, April 19-Presi-
dent Wilson told congress. as.
sembled In Joint session shortly
after 1 o'clock this afternoon, he
had given Germany irrevocable
notification that the United States
will break Off diplomatic relations
If her illegal submarine campaign
is continued.
A note, Americas last word,
practically an ultimatum and de-
manding an immediate reply pre-.
sumably was in the Berlin for
eign office as the president was
speaking.
The president asked no action
whatever of congress. He simply
informed it Of the accumulation of
facts proving that Germany's as
surances to the United States are
being violated; that the subma-
rine campaign, despite the earnest
protests of the United States is
being conducted with renewed
yig0r 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 of the
world shows that such a course
is almost certain to be followed by
war.
The presidents note and his
address to congress are final
They mark the end of diplomatic
exchanges. A continuance of the
long standing friendly relations,
the president made clear, depends
alone on Germany's conduct.

1t puts the next move mp to
Germany and does not necessarily
mean a break.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-19

Unless the German government
should now Immediately declare
and effect an abandonment Of its
present methods of warfare
against passenger and freight car
rying vessels, this government
has no choice but to sever dipl0-
matte relations.

Secretary Baker issued this state
ment:
General Scott leaves for San An
tonic this evening at 6:15 at my re-
quest. He will spend several days
with General Funston and return. This
trip is made solely for the purpose
of getting as accurate information as
is possible for the use of the depart
ment General Funston remains IN
full charge of the affairs Of his de-
partment including the expedition in
10 Mexico. He has the full confidence
of the department and his dispositions
have the departments entire ap-
prevail"
May Determine Course.
Secretary Baker would not discuss
General Scott's mission beyond his
formal statement. 1t was assumed,
however, that his report after confer
ence with General Funston will go
far toward determining the course to
be pursued in Mexico.
Il is known that General Funston
has been urging the department that
he be permitted TO shift his head
quarters and the border base in order
to shorten his line of communications.
The department apparently has
hesitated TO authorize any radical
change in the status of the expedition,
in the face Of requests from General
Carranza that the troops be recalled,
believing il might tend to increase
anti-American feeling among CarranZa
garrisons. For the same reason the
sending Of heavy achievements TO
the border has not been resorted to as
yet
Mexico Situation In Doubt.
Until the German situation is clear
ly understood it is impossible to fore
cast the administration decision as
to Pershiug's expedition. Military
observers appear 10 agree that some
radical move must be made soon4
either 10 back up the troops in Mexico
or 10 Withdraw them.
General Scott is acquainted with
Villa and with many Carranza off
Gals and with his knowledge Of the
border and the confidential informa-
ton General Funston is able TO supply
he will be able to advise Secretary
Baker.
Confirm Concentration Report
Confirmation OF the reports that the
American expeditionary force was be-
Ing concentrated at three points in
Mexico preparatory either for the
Withdrawal Of the troops or the organ
lzation Of a new and more extensive
campaign was received here today from
Mexican sources.
1t was said that General Pershing
mad Withdrawn all outlying detach-
ments south Of Namiquipa and that in
the neighborhood Of 5000 men were
camped at San Antonio, II miles west
OF Cusihuiriachic, and that a force esti-
mated at almost double this number
was being concentrated near Nami-
quipa.
Troops TO Withdraw.
The belief that the American troops
are about TO leave Mexico is widespread
among the Mexicans in Juarez and has
completely changed the attitude Of the
people, who after the Parral incident
gave marked indications Of hostility

OKLAHOMA WILL HAVE CHAIR

COMMITTEE - ONE OF MOST
IMPORTANT IN CONGRESS.

The defeat of Judge John H. Ste.

in Texas will advance Congressman
Charles d. Carter, from this district,
to the craftsmanship of the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs. Judge Ste
| phens has been chairman of the In
dian affairs committee since democ-
racy gained control of the house in
1910. Congressman Carter ranks next
to the chairman and his consistent
support of Woodrow Wilson's poll
cies and the democratic house organ
ization makes his appointment to the
craftsmanship practically certain.
This Craftsmanship Is one of the
most important positions in the gift
of the house for the reason that the
Indian committee has the authority to
both legislate and to appropriate mon
ey On account of the many unset
tied Indian problems this chairman
ship is the most important appoint
ment that could come to Oklahoma.
If the democrats carry the next
house, which it is conceded is almost !
certain. Charley Carter will be the
first American Indian who has ever
risen to the distinction of the chair
of the Indian affairs commit
tee in the national house of represent
atives and it will result in giving
Oklahoma greater prestige and great

KNIGHTS ARE
PREPARING A
BIC EVENT
COMMITTEE MEETINGS BEING
HELD AND EVERYTHING is
BEING PUT IN SHAPE FOR THE
COMING EVENT.

An an enthusiastic meeting of tn,
entertainment, financial and puhlicit,
committee of the Knights of Pythias
last evening it was decided that the
coming home folk musical comedy
The Follies Kabaret," which will be
presented with large cast of local
ladies and gentlemen comprising Ard
more's prettiest girls, sweetest sing,
ers and cleyerest comedians for the
benefit of the lodge, will be given at
the convention hall Corner c and
Broadway, August 8, and the price of
tickets will be fifty cents for adults
and twenty-five cents for children
under twelve,-any seat in the house.
Special arrangements are being
made for scenic and electrical effects
which, when complete, will make this
one Of the prettiest and most pleasing
shows ever seen in Ardmore.
Every Knight is giving his earnest
support to this event, and the Pythian
Sisters are putting forth every effort
to show their brothers that they are
with them in anything that will in
any way benefit the Pythian cause.
One of the novel features will be
a new departure in advertising.
Through the courtesy of Ardmore's
leading merchants an elegant eight
page souvenir program will be gotten
out and will be distributed from house
to house throughout the city and
neighborhood. Positively none Of
these programs will be givnn away
at the theatre, and therefore those
attending the performance should see
that they secure one of these pro.
grams and bring it along for refer
ence.
The Knights of Pythias is one of
the oldest, largest and most highly
respected lodges in Ardmore and
numbers in its ranks men who have
spent unceasing efforts for the good
of the community,-men who have
helped and are helping to place Ard
more in the first and foremost ranks
of Oklahoma's enterprising cities, and
these men feel every assurance that
their many friends will rally around |
them in this their first appeal to the
public and furthermore they have no
hesitation in saying that with the as
sistance of those who have already |
promised their active cooperation
they will give their friends and pa
irons more than their moneys worth
