range for presenting his credentials
to President Wilson.
For months, ever since relations
with Germany became acute there
have been ominous signs of threatened
activities OF German sympathizers and
disloyal Americans if diplomatic rela-
tons were broken off The admin
stration has not been unmindful of
these. Various branches of the gov
eminent have informed themselves on
the subject far more completely than
might be thought.
Can Handle Situation.
officials express themselves as
satisfied that they will be able to cope
with the situation. In the army and
navy, and in the citizenship generally,
officials realize that the composite
character of American nationality
makes it difficult not to find some per-
sons who will express sympathy with
the land Of their birth.
The attempt to sink the torpedo
boat Jacob Jones at Philadelphia to-
day is recognized as an instance of
some Of the things which may be ex-
pected, but on the whole all the
agencies of the government believe
they have made preparations to meet
such exigencies or are prepared to
meet them as they arise.

then quoted from the reply Of the
United States which refused to con-
slider conditional pledge and gave
Germany final warning that il could
not entertain or discuss any such sug-
gestion.
The president did not refer to the
long list of submarine operations
which have been conducted in viola
ton OF the Sussex pledges, but pro-
ceeded at once to the war zone order
which became effective February |.
When he told how the German
proclamation left nothing for the
honor and dignity of the United
States but a break in relations and
that he had ordered passports sent to
Won Bernstorf and recall to Mr..
Gerard, the assemblage broke into a
cheer in which republicans and demo-
Gratis alike joined.
Waits for Avert Act.
More applause greeted his declara-
ton that only an avert act could con-
vince him that Germany intended to
violate American lives and rights, and
there was prolonged applause and
cheering when he concluded by an
nouncing that should American ships
and lives be sacrificed "In needless

congress to ask authority to use any
means that may be necessary for the

As he concluded there were cheers
of approval from both sides OF the
chamber and the president returned
to the White House to discuss meas
ures OF precaution with Secretary
Daniels of the navy and Secretary
Baker of the War department.
Diplomats Attend.
There was an unusual attendance Of
diplomats to hear the presidents ad-
dress. Practically all the South Amer
leans were represented and many
other neutrals.
The gravity of the occasion was
further pictured by the presence of
the justices Of the supreme court and
members Of the cabinet upon the floor.
When the president concluded con-

While the president was addressing
