President. Speech
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The pres
ident's speech follows:

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The pre-:
dents speech follows:
Gentlemen OF the congress:
The imperial German govern
ment on the 31st OF January an
nounced to this government and
to the governments Of the other
neutral nations that on and after
the first day of February, the
present month, 1t would adopt
policy with regard to the use OF
submarines against all shipping
seeking to pass through certain
designated areas Of the hign
seas to which 1t is clearly my
duty to call your attention.
Let me remind the congress
that on the eighteenth Of April
last, in view of the sinking on
the twenty-fourth of March OF
the cross-channel passenger
steamer Sussex by German sub
marine without summons or
warning, and the consequent loss
OF lives of several citizens OF the
United States, who were passen-
gers aboard her. this government
addressed a note to the imperial
government in which 1t made the
following declaration:
Tho Sussex Note.
"If 1t is still the purpose OF the
imperial government to prosecute
ruthless and indiscrtminate war
fare against vessels OF commerce
by the use of submarines without
regard to what the government
of the United States must consid-
er the sacred and indisputable
rules OF international law and
the universally recognized die
tates of humanity, the govern
ment of the United States is ut
last forced to the conclusion
that there is but one course 1t
can pursue. Unless the German
government should now immed-
lately declare and effect an
abandonment of its present
methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight
carrying vessels, the government
of the United States can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic
relations with the German en-
pire altogether"
The Reply.
In reply to this declaration
the German government gave
this government the following
assurance:
The German government IS
prepared to do its utmost to con-
fine the operations oftwar for the
rest OF its duration to the fight
ing forces Of the belligerents.
thereby insuring the freedom OF
the seas, a principle upon which
the German government believes
itself now as before. to be in
Of the United States.
''The German government guild
ed by this idea, notifies the gov
ernment OF the United States
that the German naval forces
have received the following or
ders:
"Tn accordance with the general
principles of visit and search
and destruction Of merchant ves-
sells recognized by international
law such vessels, both within
and without the area declared as
naval war zone, shall not be
sunk without warning and with
out saving human lives, unless
these ships attempt to escape.
or offer resistance.
But, it added. "neutrals cannot
expect that Germany, forced to
fight for her existence, shall for
the sake Of the neutral interests
restrict the use OF an effective
weapon If her enemy Is permitted
to continue to apply at will
methods Of warfare, violating the
rules Of International law. Suoh
q demand would be ineompet1ble

able information as to how America
regards the crisis.
Anxfously Watching America.
lBy Ed. L. Keen, United Press Stan
Correspondent
LONDON, Feb. 3.-England's in
tense interest in what America Is
going to do about it, was manifest
today in the foreign office action in
keeping constantly in touch with
merican Ambassador Walter Hines
Page.
No less was it apparent in British
newspaper action, in subordinatfng
even the news of the situation with
which Great Britain is confronted
in the new BLOCKADE OF frightful-
ness to copious cabled dispatches
from America.
Germany's announcement OF un-
bridled submarinings has failed to
frighten the average Britisher. Just
such step has been anticipated for
n,crths. 1t has been prepared Tor
by the government. Detailed meas
ures to combat 1t have been long
prepared Press and public alike I'M
plicitly believe these unannounced
measures will effectively nullify the
German scheme.
Aside from the German-American
situation, interest here today center
ed in three Developments.
First was the suspension OF trafhc
from Scandinavia. In view OF this,

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 3.-The
plant of the Saxon Motor Car COM
panv burned to the ground early this
morning. The blaze threw 1000
men out of work and caused loss
of 5000, 900.

was then employing and to which
It now proposes again to resort to.
RELATIONS sEvERED.
I have therefore directed the
oeoretary Of state to announce to
has exceIIency, tho German am
bassador, that all diplomatic re-
Iations between the United States
and tho German empire arc sew
cred and that the American am
bassador at Berlin viii Immediate
iy be withdrawn; and In accord
ance Will, this decision to hand to
hIs excelleney his passports.
Notwithstanding this unex-
pected action OF the German gov
ernment. this sudden and deeply
deplorable renunciation Of Its as
surances given thfs government at
one of the most critical moments
Of tension in the relations of two
governments, I refuse to believe
that it is the intention of the
German authorities to do In fact
what they have warned us they
will feel at liberty to do. can
not bring myself to believe that
they will indeed pay no regard to
the ancient friendship between
their people and our own. or to
the solemn obligations which have
been exchanged between them.
and destroy American ships and
take the lives of American citi-
zens in the willful prosecution OF
the ruthless naval program they
have announced their intention to
adopt. Only actual overt acts on
their part can make me believe it
even now.
The FutureL
II this inveterate confidence on
my part in the sobriety and pru-
dent foresight of their purpose
should unhappily prove unfounded,
If American ships and American
lives should In fact be sacrificed
by their naval commanders in
needless contravention of the
lust and reasonable understand
Ina Of international law and the
obvious dictates Of humanity, !
shall take the liberty of coming
aqain before the congress to
ask that authority be given me to
use any means that may be neces-
sary for protection Of our seamen
and our people In the prosecution
Of their peaceful and legitimate
errands upon the high seas. can
do nothing less. take It for
granted that all neutral govern
nents Will take the same course.
We do not desire any hostile
conflict with the imperial Ger
man government. We are the sim
cere friends of the German peo-
pie and earnestly desire to re-
main at peace with the govern
ment which speaks for them. We
shall not believe that they are
hostile to us unless and until we
are obliged to believe it; and we
purpose nothing more than the
reasonable defense Of the I'M
doubted rights of our people. We
wish to serve no selfish ends. We
seek merely to stand true alike
In thought and in action to the
fmmemorial principles of our peo-
pie, which I sought to express IN
nv address to the senate only
two weeks ago-seek merely to
vindicate our right to liberty and
Justice and an unmolested life.
These are the basis of peace, not
war. God grant We may not be
challenged to defend them by
acts of willful injustice on the
part Of the government Of Ger
many.
