WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-President
wilson spoke to congress this afternoon
as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Congress: The
imperial German government on the
a1st Of January announced to this gov
ernment and to the governments of the
other neutral nations that On and after
the first day Of February the German
government would adopt a policy with
regard to the use of submarines against
all shipping seeking to pass through
certain designated areas Of the high seas
to which it is clearly my duty to call
your attention.
"Iset me remind the congress that on
April ID last, IN view of the sinking on
the gath of March of the cross channel
steamer sussex by German submarine
without summons or warning and the
CONSEQUENT loss of lives OF several oit4-
zens Of the United States who were
passengers aboard her, this government
addressed a note to the imperial German
government in which it made the follow
ing declaration;
If it is still the purpose Of the I'M
per1aI German government to prosecute
ruthless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels Of commerce by the use
Of the submarine without regard to what
the governments OF the United States
must consider sacred and indisputable
rules of international law and universal
" recognized dictates, the government
of the United States Is at last forced TO
the conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue.

I'm reply to this declaration the Ger

the following assurance:
"'The German government is pre-.
pared to 40 its utmost to conhne the
operations of war for the rest of it's

dom Of the seas, freedom, a principle,
upon which tho German government be-
Iieves itself now as before to be in
agreement with the government of the
United states.
1.-The German government, guided by
this idea, notifies the government Of the
United states that German naval forces
have received the following order:
""In accordance with the general
principle Of search and destruction Of
merchant vessels recognized by inter
national law, such vessels both within
and without the naval war zone shall
not be sunk without varning and with
out saving human lives, unless these
ships attempt to escape or offer resist
ance," but IN its latest note it added
that neutra1s cannot expect Germany,
forced to fight for her existence, shall
for the sage Of neutral interests restrict
the use Of an effective weapon If the en-
emy Is permitted to continue at will to
apply methods Of warfare violating the
rules Of International law. such de-
rnand would be incompatible with the
character Of neutrality ard the German

Licensed Liquor is Going Out

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 3.
Since yesterday Indiana politics
faces a situation that it never faced
before. No such sudden trans
formation as this one can be found
elsewhere in the annals OF Indiana
history. Liquor is going out of IN
diana politics. That's the change
that has taken place in the last
forty-eight hours.
What 1t Means.
When the senate passed the
state wide prohibition bill which
already had been passed by the
house in a slightly different form.
it gave the liquor business a Jolt
from which it viii perhaps never
recover in Indiana. After April 2.
1918, the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquor in any form will
be prohibited III Indiana, except
that pure grain alcohol may be
prescribed for medicinal purposes

TumultY Was Grave.

The president arose early this morn
ing, had preahfast as Usual ard then
called for Secretary Tumulty.
When Tumulty came back from the
mansion his face was very grave, but
the only comment he would make was
that the president would address a
joint session of congress at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Beyond this the White
House was officially silent. The presi-
dent had worked until far into the
night completing the messabe he is TO
deliver this afternoon. He wrote it on
his own typewriter and made the last
corrections and changes this morning.

A similar course of action
