The state department made this
plain today, declaring that neutral

war with Germany extremely near
Germany has declared that she has
spoken her last word and that she will
go ahead with her submarine warfare.
If that is true, and the United States
government has no reason to doubt it,
it is taken to officially indicate that
sooner or later clash between a sub
marine and an American shipp will be
inevitable.

that the newspapers, press services
