UNITED STATES SEWERS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
With GERMANY PRESIDENT WILSON EXPLAINS
ACTION TO CONGRESS- MEAN WAR.

o United States on last Saturda,
severed diplomatic relations will
q Germany. President Wilson ap
peared before Congress and ex
o planned his action. His address
. follows:
$ Gentlemen of the Congress
y The imperial German government
, on the thirty-frst of January an
! nounced to this government anC
) to the governments of the Other
{ neutral nations that on and after
the first of February, the present
, month, it would adopt a policy
with regard to the use of sub.
marines against all shipping seek.
ing to pass through certain de.
signated areas of the high seas
to which it is clearly my duty to
call your attention.
Let me remind the congress
on April 8, last, in view of the
sinking on March "a of the cross
channel passenger steamer Sus-
sex by a German submarine,
without summons or warning,
and the consequent loss of the
lives of several citizens of the
United States who were passeng-
ers aboard her. This government
addressed a note to the imperial
German government in which it
made the following declaration
If it is still the purpose of the
imperial government to prosecute
relentless and indiscriminate war
fare against vessels of commerce
by the use of submarines with
out regard to what the govern
ment of the United States must
consider the sacred indisputable
rules of international law and the
universally recognized dictates of
humanity, the government of the
United States is at last forced to
the conclusion that there is but
one course it can pursue. Unless
the imperial government should,
now Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment of its
present methods of submarine
warfare against passenger and
freight-carrying vessels, the gov
ernment of the United States can
have no choice but to sever dip
lomatic relations with the Ger
man empire altogether.
I'm reply to this declaration
the imperial German government
gave this government the follow
ing assurance:
THE German government is
prepared to do its utmost to con-
fine the operations of war for the
the rest of its duration to the
fighting forces of the belliger-
ents, thereby also insuring the
freedom of the seas, a principle
upon which the German govern
ment believes now, as before, to
be in agreement with the govern
ment 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 following ord
er: In accordance with the gen.
eral principles of visit and search
and destruction of merchant ves-
sells recognized by international
law. such vessels, both within
and without the area declared Jas
naval war zone, shall not be sunk
without warning and without the
saving of human lives, unless
these ships attempt to escape or
offer resistance.
But, it added. 'neutrals can.
not expect that Germany, forced
to fight for her existence shall,
for the sake of neutral interest,
restrict the use of an effective
weapon If her enemy is permitted
to continue to apply at will meth
DDS of warefare violating the

ernment has no alternative con
sistent with the dignity and hon
or of the United States but tt
take the course which. in the
note of the 18th of April, 1916
it announced that it would take
in the event that the German
government did not declare anC
effect an abandonment of the
methods of submarine warfare
which it was then employing and
to which it now purposes again
to resort.
II have, therefore, directed
the secretary of state to an
nounce to his excellency, the
German ambassador, that all dip
lomatic relations between the
United States and the German
empire are severed, and that the
American ambassador at Berlin
will Immediately be withdrawn,
and in accordance with this de-
cision, to hand to his excellency
his passport.
Notwithstanding this unex-
pected action of the German gov
ernment, this sudden and deeply
deplorable remuneration of its as
surances, given this government
at one of the most critical mo-
ments of tension in the relations
of the two governments, | 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.
| cannot bring myself to believe
that they will indeed pay no re-
gard to the ancient friendships
between their people and our
own, and to the solemn obliga-
tions which have been exchang-
ed between them and destroy A
merican ships and take the lives
of American citizens in the will
full prosecution of the ruthless
naval program they hava an
nounced their intention to adopt.
Only actual overt acts on their
part can make me believe it even
now.
IF this inveterate confidence
on my part in the sobriety and
prudent foresight of their pur-
pose should unhapily prove un-
if American ships and
American lives should, in fact,
be sacrificed by tehir naval com.
in needless contraven-
ton of the just aud reasonable
understandings of international
law and the obvious dictates of
humanity, | shall take the liberty
of coming again before the con-
gress to ask that authority be
given me to use any means that
may be necessary for the protec-
ton of our seamen and our peo-
pie in the prosecution of their
peaceful and legitimate errands
on the high seas. / can do no
thing less. | take it for grauted
that all nutral governments will
take the same course.
"We do not desire any hostile
conflict with the imperial Ger
man government. We are the
the sinerce friends of the Ger
man people, and earnestly desire
to remain at peace with the gov
which speaks for them.
We shall not believe that they
are hostile to us unless and until
we are obliged to believe and weI
purpose nothing more than the
reasonable defence of the un-
doubted rights of our people.
We wish to serve no selfish ends.
We seek merely to stand true a.
like in thought and action to the
immemor!al principles of our peo-
pie which / hnve sought to ex-
press in my address to the SEN

merely to vindicate our right to

Flag Raising
At Catholic Church

Among the events of last week was
the raising of the national ensign on
the grounds of the Catholic church
at the corner of Sixth and G streets,
on Fourth of July morning, after a
special service held in the church, at
which the pastor, Rev. 3. ]. Conaty,
delivered brief address on "The Day
and Its Significance. a synopsis of
Rev. Conaty's address is as follows
This is the natal day of our nation,
and with grateful hearts, with hearts
big with emotion, we recall the names
of the great, good and brave men
who, less than $50 years ago, pledged
their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor to the cause of liberty,
that government might arise under
which men could enjoy in safety and
tranquility their natural rights and
the blessings of life.
On this great day while the banner
of our country rises heavenwards we
reaffirm our unswerving, unmixed
and undivided allegiance to the re-
public, its flag and its president.
More than on any other anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence,
because Of the momentous and world
wide war in which we are engaged,
We are called upon to evince in no un-
certain manner the sterling and un-
wavering quality of our citizenship.
Our citizenship must be distinctly and
unequivocally American in its charac-
ter and purpose, in the recognition of
the tremendous responsibility which
It imposes and in complete self-de-
votion to the great cause Of democ-
racy.
At such time there Is no place for
dissension and he who would from
any motive, political or religious,
seek to SOW the seeds of discord is as
much an enemy to the republic as the
paid spies Of hostile power. There
can be, there must be, no division, no
rending of the seamless robe of Amer
lean citizenship. "Who loveth the
flag Is a man and brother, no mat
ter what birth or what race or what
creed"
II our flag speaks to all of civil
liberty 1t must always speak to every
Catholic in an especial way, for, he
will remember that hundreds of years
before the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, at Runnymede, a Catholic car
dinal, Langton, with the Catholic
barons of England, wrung from King
John the great charter OF civil rights
which is found in the web and woof
of the constitution and laws of our
nation and states. II we exult at the
vast expanse Of our national domain
the Catholic will remember that this
great continent with its vast lakes
and mountains, its almost limitless
territory, It's teeming population, its
measureless wealth, and its stupen-
dous possibilities was opened to man.
kind and civilization by the personal
generosity Of a Catholic queen who
financed the genius Of Columbus, by
which he was enabled to realize the
magnificent vision which carried him
westward until he planted the cross
on the shores Of San Salvador. and It
Is especially fitting that the symbol
OF political liberty should float side

by side with the emblem of spiritual
redemption.
If that flag speaks of equality and
rights we recall the fact that 1t was
the Catholic Lord Baltimore, years
before Thomas Jefferson quoted the
words, "All men are born equal" who
wrote into the statute of Maryland
that there should be no taxation with
out representation"
II we think of religious freedom we
find that 1t was a Calvert, Catholic,
who gave universal freedom to the
state of which he was ruler, as did
DUNCAN, another Catholic, who was
governor of New York.
Catholics made superb sacrifices
for the cause Of liberty at the time
of the Revolution and gave to Wash
ington unflinching and enthusiastic
support their loyalty being so pure
that If there was any Catholic traitor
as Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who
risked more than any other man who
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, said history makes no record
of it. Benedict Arnold, who has not
yet been declared a Catholic, sold his
country for $4,000 and the commits
sion of brigadier general in the Eng
lish army, but when Lord Howe Of
fered Jack Berry, a Catholic and a
first admiral of the American navy,
100000 to sell the vessel of which
he was commander he returned the
answer: "Tell King George l am
not for sale and that If he were to
offer me the entire wealth of his
realm | would not betray my coun-
try"
Not to speak of the army of Wash
ington and the number of Catholics
in 1t during the Revolutionary war,
1t might be we'll to remember that
more than one-half were Irish, and at
that time Irish came pretty near
meaning Catholic, and to remember
also that at the eliminating event Of
the battle for freedom al Yorktown
were Lafayette, Rochambeau and De
Grasse, who with their soldiers and
sailors amounted to little more than
one half of the army which compelled
the surrender Of the English forces
and secured forever the triumph of
free government on this continent,
were Catholics.
We have not fully realized our his
tory and rights, or there would not
prevail at the present moment such a
perversion of history, and 1t is our
duty to dispell this pitiable ignorance,
not because of any harm 1t can do us,
but because of the delusion and dark
ness which are found here and there
among those whose knowledge Of us
is founded on falsehood. Let our cit
izenship be vigorous, open and proud.
Let 1t live in action, in service and in
sacrifice, making every effort to ad-
vance the principles of rs and 81,
the principles of truth, justice and
liberty. that this government Of the
people, for the people, and by the
people may not perish from the
earth"

company, to Father Conaty.

into service labor not heretofore reg
ularly or fully utilized. We have had
large numbers Of boys and girls or
ganized in clubs rendering useful
service. There is an army of nearly
10000 of them. I have no doubt
that it can be extended; that its num-
Der can be increased; and that its
services can be used in additional di-
rections.
1T has been estimated that there
are over 100000 boys in towns and
cities, some Of whom have been in
touch with rural life, who could be
utilized especially in harvest season.
If proper steps to organize them were
taken. There are many in rural com
munities whose service has not been
fully utilized. 1t might be found to
be desirabel and feasible for schools
and colleges in certain sections Of the
country not to resume their sessions
so early in the fall so that the BOYS
may help on the farms during the
harvest season. In some directions
girls may render valuable and valiant
help.
"I am not trying to indicate all
the methods we might employ or
persons we might utilize but simply
to give some hints. Whether 1t will
be necessary to go further I can not
now say, but since ample food is so
fundamental a need in this crisis no
step to render aid should be omitted
which the emergency may require,
and the farmers should know this"

Northwest Corn Show, December 9

Northwestern bankers are now be-
ing furnished with pamphlets giving
full details regarding the third an
nual "First National" Corn Show for
distribution among their former cli-
ents. The show will be held in St.
Paul, Mimi, December to Is, 1917.
The growing of more corn and the
raising of more fine stock is espec-
tally desirable at this time. While
the increased production of wheat,
grains and vegetables Of all kinds is
imperative to meet the demands of
the people, the products and manu-
factured by.products derived from
the corn and cattle industries are alb
solutely indispensable.
y Men and boy corn growers in Min
nesota, western Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Washington,
Oregon and Idaho are invited to com
pete in contests in connection with
this corn show, which is held under
the auspices of the First National
Bank and Northwestern Trust Com
pany of St. Paul and bankers of the
