WHEN DID THE
WAR BEGlN7
(From Kansas City Star

(From Kansas City Starr
To the Star: Mr. Roosevelt keeps
on saying: Germany went to war
with us" l supposed we went to Var
with Germany and notice that both
Senator Owen and Congressman Bor-
land in speeches last night said. We
entered the war against Germany"
What is the straight of it?
A. l.. p.
The straight of it is that on Januar!
81, 1917, the German government in a
formal note to this government re
voked all it's former pledges with re-
gard to the conduct OF its submarine
warfare and notified us that, begin
ming the next day, February l, II
would resume the sea war on neutrals
with "all the weapons which are at
its disposal"
Colonel Roosevelt holds that This
notice was. in effect, a declaration OF
war on the United States. and that the
submarine sinkings which followed II
were acts OF war. President Wilson
had notified the German government
in advance that a resumption of unre-
stricted submarine warfare would be
so regarded. In his note OF April Is.
1916. following the sinking of the
steamer SUSSEX, he warned the Ger
man government that If It were its
purpose ito prosecute relentless and
indiscriminate warfare against vessels
Of commerce by the use Of submarine
without regard to what the govern
ment OF the United States must con.
slider the sacred and indisputable rules
OF international law. and the uniycr.
sally recognized dictates Of humanity
the government of the United States
sever diplomatic relations with tho
German Empire altogether"
Germany's notice of January 81 wa.
a direct challenge to the Unite
States to carry out this announced
purpose, and on February 3 the Pres
idcnt severed diplomatic relations.
That the president and congress
deemed the German notice a declara
ton OF war upon us is adduccd hoti
from the language of the president il
his address to congress on April ant
the phrasing of the war resolution
which congress adopted on April 6 |:
his address the president said: witt
a profound sense of the solemn an,
even tragical character of the step
am taking | advise that tn
congress declare the recent course O
imperial German government to be il
fact nothing less than war against tn
government and people of the Unite
States" And congress in followin
that advice declared tEat, Whereas
the imperial German government ha
committed repeated acts Of Wa
against the government and the pee
pie Of the United States of Americ
the state of war between tn
United States, is hereby formally d,
clared ."
April 6, the day upon which col
gress adopted this declaration, Is, {
course the official date OF the hegir
ming Of the war on our part. That wa
when we entered the war" as Il L. 5
frequently expressed. But the pres
dent in advising congress to act a
vised, not declaration Of war. but
recognition of a state of war alread
existing by reason of the "rccer
