Wilson Knows His Mind


w dent from prompt public announcement
OF the way in which he will meet Germany
resumption Of ruthless submarine warfare
are known only to himself and his immediate
advisers, but that his course has been de-
cldcd there can he real doubt
There is ample evidence that President
Wilson was informed exactly of what was
happening in Germany, and that his whole
diplomatic course of the last six weeks has
5eon designed to meet that situation. When
Ambassador Gerard came home on vacation
it was reported widely that he brought the
news OF German purpose, in the event peace
efforts failed. to make every use of sub
marines against neutral as we'll as against
bclligercnt shipping, that might promise to
hurt Great Britain. When the ambassador
returned to Berlin, he lost no time in issuing
thinly yelled warning to the German people
against the violation or annulment Of the
pledge which had been given to the United
States
Meantime President Wilson made his noble
efforts To bring peace, and Secretary Lansing.
IN burst OF frankncss which may or may not
nave been unconsidcrcd, pointed out that if
peace were not obtained, this country prob
ably would be dra wn into the conflict This
had been evident all along, but what Mr..
Lansing said made it even clearer
Taking all these circumstances into con-
slderation it is Uncomfortable that Mr.. Wilson
was not prepared for Germany's announce
ment lie may have hoped that it could be
avoided, no may have believed the pending
efforts to bring about peace would have post
ponct it, but he could not have been un-
warned. lie is not the sort of man TO let
such warning go unheedod.
This country's course therefore, has been
mapped. Matters OF detail doubtless must
receive attention but the structure of policy
was completed by Woodrow Wilson at least
month ago. He knows what he is 60
ing to do
We assume the delay to make an announce
mcnt is due to the necessity OF CORES
pondence with Ambassador Gerard and to the
wisdom of apprising officers Of the United
States. in every service and in every part Of
the earth, OF the situation which has resulted
They must know where their country stands
and what their duty is to be. Furthermore.
the Democratic leaders in Congress must be
notified before anything is done finally which
will cause Il break with Germany This is in
accord with promise the President made
some months ago to Senator Stone. OF Mis-
souri,, chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. Mr.. Stone hurried back
to Washington so soon the news of Ger
manys madness printed.

can there be real question what that action

the President issued his solemn warning to
