anyone desiring to contribute Christ
mas parcels may secure information as
to the size of the packages and how

local headquarters. All packages must
be wrapped in khaki colored hand
kerchief and must be the size of a let
ter pad, both of which may be secured
at the local headquarters at cost.

to send packages of uniform size,
each to contain gifts of the value or
not more than $3.50

son this afternoon addressed Il joint
session of congress, outlining the
events that led up to the diplomatic
break with Germany. He said:
ITO the congress- February 3, 1917.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
''Fhe Imperial German government
on the 3lst of January announced to
this government and 10 the govern
ments of the other neutral nations
that on and after the list day of Febru-
airy. the present month, ii would adopt
a policy with regard to the use Of
submarines against all shipping seek
Ing to pass through certain designated
areas of the high seas To which it is
clearly my duty to call your attention.
Let me remind the congress that
on the 18th ef april last, ir view of
the sinking on the 9th Of March Of
the cross Channel passenger steamer
Sussex by German submarine, with
out summons or warning, and the con
sequeut loss Of the lives Of several
citizens Of the United States. Who
were passengers aboard her, this gov
eminent addressed a note to the Im-
perial German government In which it
made the following declarations:
IF it still be the purpose Of the i'm.
perial government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use of submarines without regard 10
what The government Of tie United
States must consider the sacred and

course it can pursue Unless the inn
perial government should how and i'm

eminent of the United States can have
no choice but to sever diplomatic re-
lations with the German empire alto

Recalls Assurances Given
By Germany.

"In reply to this declaration the i'm
perial German government gave this
government the following assurance:
"'The German government is pre-
pared to do its utmost To eonfine the
operations of the war for the rest Of
its duration TO the fighting forces of
the belligerents. thereby also assuring
the freedom of the seas, a principle
upon which the German government
believes. now as before. to be in agree
ment with the government of the
United States.
"The German government, guided
by this idea, notifies the government
of the United States that the German
naval forces have received the follow
Ing orders: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and destruction Of merchant vessels
recognized by international law, such
vessels, both within and without the
area declared as naval war zone,
declared as naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and without
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
neutral interests, restrict the use of an
effective weapon If her enemy is per-
mitted to continue to apply at will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such Il demand
would be incompatible with the char
acter of neutrality. and the German
government is convinced that the gov
ernment of the United States does not
think Of making such Il demand,
knowing that the government Of the
United States has repeatedly declared
that il is determined to restore the
principle of the freedom of the seas,
