First. When motor stands nil

Accordingly, Instructions were given,

chantmen were 10 be warned when
such action, in their judgment, was

Wilson's Stand.
It was realized, however. after the
prompt and rcjolute stand taken by
President Wilson that these orders
could only be palliative and only de.
fer, not avoid. IN ultimate break.
Also that if President Wilson stood
by his announcement that the destruc-
ton of American lives or ships would
be regarded ar an act of hostility,
casus belli must come sooner or later
probably sooner on account OF the
number of Americans on enemy ships.
Moreover, there was the discretionary
nature of The Instructions to Sub

toward neutrals was recommended
and desired, they would no longer be

It is considered that the only poSsibil-
