and Shlpa.
Washington, Feb. B.—President Wll
aon thla afternoon addressed a Joint
session of congress, outlining the
events that led up to tha diplomatic
break with Germany. Be aald:
"To the congress, February 8, 191 T.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
'The Imperial German government
on the 81st of January announced to
thl* government and to the govern
ments of the other neutral natlona
that on and after the lat day of Febru
ary. the present month. It would adopt
a policy with regard to the uae of
auhmarlnea agalnat all ahlpplng seek
ing to pass through certain designated
area* of the blgh aeaa to which It la
clearly my duty to call your attention.
"Let me remind the congreaa that
on the 18th of April last. In view of
the sinking on the 24tb of March of
the croii* Channel paaaenger ateamer
Sussex hy a German submarine, with
out lummon* or wsrnlng, and the con
sequent loss of the Uvea of several
citizens of tha United States, who
were paasengera aboard her, thla gov
ernment addreaaed a note to the Im
perial German government In which It
made the following declarations:
" 'lf It still be the purpose of the Im
perial government to prosecute relent
less and Indiscriminate warfare
ngulnHt vessels of commerce by the
use of subinarlnea without regard to
what the government_,of the United
Stales mnat. consider the sacred and
Indisputable rules of International law
nnd the universally recognised dic
tates of humanity, the government of
the United Ktutes Is at last forced to
the conclusion that there la but one
course Van pursue. Unleaa the Im
perlijJ'fcovAfnment should now and Im
mediately declare and effect an aban
donment of Ita present methods of
submarine warfare against passenger
and frelnht carrying vessels, the gov
ernment of tlie United States can bave
no choice but to sever diplomatic re
lations with the German empire alto
gether.' *
Recalla Assurance* Qlven
By Germany.
"In reply to thl* declaration the Im
perial Herman government gave this
government the following aaanrance:
" The German government la pre
pared to do Ita utmost to conltne the
operations of tbe war for the rest of
Its duration to the fighting forcea of
the belligerents, thereby also assuring
the freedom of' the seas, ■ principle
upon which the Qerman government
Mleve*, now aa before, to be In agree
ment with the government of the
United States.
" The German government, guided
by thl* Idea, notlflp* the government
of (he United State* that the German
naval forcea have received the follow*
IIIK order*: In accordance with the
general principle* of visit and search
and deatruction of merchant veaaela
recognised hjr International law, such
vessels, both wllhln and without the
area declared aa naval war *one,
declare*) aa naval war sons, ahall not
b« aunk without warning and without
saving human Uvea, unle** theae ahlpa
attempt to escap* or offer realstsnce.
"'But,' It added, 'neutral* csnnot
eipect that Germany, forced to tight
for her existence, ahall, for the aake of
neutral Interests, restrict the ua« of an
effective weapon If her enemy la per
mitted to continue to apply at will
methoda of warfare violating the rule*
of International law, Such a demand
would be Incompatible with the char
acter of neutrality, and the German
government la convinced that the gov
ernment of the United State* doea not
think of making auch a demand,
knowing that the government of the
United States baa repeatedly declared
that It la determined te restore the.
principle of the freedom of the aeaa.
from whatever quarter It baa been vio
lated.'
Refueed Te Be Bound
By Any Condition*.
"To this the government of the Unit
ed State* replied on the eighth of May.
accepting, of cours*. the aaaurance giv
en, but adding:
"The government of the United
State* feela It neceaaary to atate that
It take* It for granted that the im
perial German government doea not
Inteud It to Imply that the maintenance
of Ita newly announced policy la In any
way aotuingent upon the course of re
mit* of diplomatic negotiation* be
tween the government of The Uuited
State* aud other belllgereut govern
menta. ntwlth*tamllng the fact that
certain iMnniagra In the Imperial gov
erniucnt'* mite of the fourth ln*tant
might apjw r to be atiscepllbie of that
const riytlon. In order, however, to
avoid any possible misunderstanding,
the government of the United State*
notlflc* the Imperial government that
It cannot for a moment entertain,
much leaa discuss, a suggestion thai
reapect by Germaa natal author!tie*
for the right* of dtisens of the United
State* upon the high sea* should In
any way In the slightest degree be
made contingent upon the conduct of
any other government affecting the
right* of neutral* and noocombatanta.
Responsibility la such matter* I*
single, not Joint; absolute, not rota
tive.'
To thla note of the eighth of May
the imperial German government mad*
DO reply. On th* thlriy-flrst of Janu
ary, th* Wednesday of the present
week, tb* German ambassador banded
to tbe secretary of state, along with a
formal not*, a memorandum which
contains the following statements:
"The Imperial government, there
fore, doea not donbt that the govern
ment of the United State* will under
stand the situation thus forced upon
Germany by th* *ntent* allies' brutal
method* of war and by tbelr determlna-
tlonto destroy thecentral power*. and
that UM government of the United
states will farther realise that the
TIOW openly disclosed Intentions of the
entente allies give back to Germany
the fiyedom of action which ah* re
served In her note addressed to the
government of the United States on
May 4. 1010.
"'Under these circumstances Ger
many will meet the Illegal measures
of her enemies by forcibly preventing
after February 1, 1017, In a son*
around Great Britain, France, Italy
and In the eastern Mediterranean all
navigation, that of neutrala Included,
from and to England and from and to
France, etc., etc. All ships met within
the sone will be sifhk.'
No Alternative Consistent
With Country's Honor.
" I think that you will agree with me
that. In view of this declaration, whlcb
suddenly snd without prior tntlmstlon
of sny kind deliberately withdraws
the solemn aasurance given In the Im
perial government's pote of the fourth
of May, 1016. thla government has no
slternstlve consistent with the dignity
and honor of the United States, but to
take the course which. In Its note of
the eighteenth of April, 1918, It an
nounced that It would take In the
event that the German government did
not declare and effect on abandonment
of the methods of submarine warfare
which It was then employing and to
which It now purpoaes again to re
sort.
"I have, therefore,' directed the sec
retsry of state to announce to his ex
cellency the German ambassador that
all diplomatic relations between the
United State* and the German empire
are severed and that the American am
bassador at Berlin will be Immediately
withdrawn, and In accordance with
this decision to hand to his excellency
his passports.
Cannot Believe Germany
Will CarrytOut Threat*.
"Notwithstanding this unexpected
action of the German government,
thla midden and deeply deplored re
nunciation of Ita assurances, given
this government at one of the most
critical momenta of tension In the re
lations of the two governments, I re
fuse to believe that It la the Intention
of the German authorities to do In
fact what tfiey have warned as they
will feel at liberty to do. I cannot
bring myself to believe that they will
Indeed pay no regard to the ancient
friendship between their people and
oar own or to the aolemn obligations
which have been exchanged between
them and destroy American ships and
take the lives of American citizens
In the wlllfi]) prosecution of the ruth
less naval' program they have an
nounced their intention to adopt Only
actual overt act* on their part can
make me believe It even now.
"If this Inveterate confidence on my
part In the sobriety aud prudent fore
sight of their purpose should unhappily
prove unfounded; If American ships
snd American Uvea should in fact be
sacrificed by their naval commanders
fn heedless contravention of the Just
and reasonable understandings of In
ternational law and the obvious dic
tates of humanity, I shall take the lib
erty of coming again before the con
gress, to ask that authority be given
we to use any means that may be nec
essary for protection of our seamen
and our people in the prosecution of
their peaceful and legitimate errands
on the high aeas. I can do nothing
lea*. 1 take It for granted that all
neutral governments will take .the same
course.
Purpose Only Defense
Of American Rights.
"We do not destl* any hostile con
flict with the imperial Oennan govern
ment. We are the sincere friends of
the German people and earnestly de
sire to remain at peace with the gov
ernment which spenks for them. We
shnll not believe that they are hostile
to us unless snd until we are obliged
to believe It, and we purpose nothing
more than the reasonable defense of
the undoubted rights of our people.
We wish to serve no selfish ends. We
seek merely to stand true alike in
thought and In action, to the imme
morial principles of our people which
I sought to express in my address to
the senate only two weeks ago—seek
merely to vindicate our right to liberty
and an unmolested life. These are
the bases of peace, not war. Grant
that we shall not be challenged to de
fend them by acts of wilful Ihjustlce
on the part of the government of tier
many." _

Since concrete blocks have found j
their way Into the field of home con
struction the architect has been fur
nished with a greatly increased range
6f finishing effects which may be used
without Involving a prohibitive cost to
the owner. As a first consideration,
the concrete block may be made almost
any ahape, and novel masonry la ob
tained without the necessity of a great
deal of chipping and shaping of the
blocks by the mason. It Is not neces
sary to use block* having a monotony
of size and shape* for all up-to-the-mln
ute concrete building, block manufac
turers are aware of the possibilities
which their product offers, and equip
ment for the casting of a variety of
size* and siiapes la now installed in
their plants.
A second consideration which has
placed the concrete block In favor
among those who desire a thoroughly
high-grade exterior finish Is found in
the beautiful facings whl£h may be
made an Integral part of the block.
This feature Is a development which
la largely responsible for the widening
field which the concrete
block serves. Closely allied with the
use of various crushed natural stones
In the facings is the development and
uae of white cement, which may be
used either alone or in combination
with a number of pigments, resulting
In the production of any shade of a
number of color*..
The uae of these material* enable*
the manufacturer to produce very
close Imitation* of highly expensive
stone at a reasonable cost Marble,
granite, sandstone end limestone may
be imitated with such exactness that
there la nothing gained in the use of
the true material. The surface of the
faced block is, a* a rule, finished In
one of two ways. After the cement
has taken Its initial set the crushed
atone la exposed by the use of water
and a steel wire brush. This surface
I* rough and produce* much the same
effect which Is obtained by the use of
rough natural atone. Those stones
which are capable of taking • polish
In tlleir natural state may be clo*ely
Imitated by the nse of the crushed ma
terial, which Is allowed to set firmly
In the face of the block, and then the
surface la planed down smooth and
polished. In addition to these two
methods of facing It I* possible to tool
the surface of the block in any desired
way.
In the structure, the block may be
need to carry out the effect which the
' home builder is striving rt>r. One man
may be pleased with the massive ef
fect obtained by the use of large blocks
In the entire structure. Another finds
his desires realized In the combination
of concrete blbcka with other building
' materials. In the latter class of
buildings an effect which has been well
demonstrated by the use of ornamental
brick may be obtained with equal sac
cess by the use of concrete blocks In
the construction of the porch on a
frame bouse,

of distinctive concrete blocks. In this
case the architect has found It possible
to greatly Improve the appearance of
the structure by Including the chimney

from the walls at the ends. The heavy
beams above the porch effectively fin
ish off this part of the house. The.
flower box built beneath the wide win
dow above the porch Is flared out at
the bottom to harmonize with the
aloplng roof.
The room arrangement of the bunga
low Is almpte and effective. The living
room extends from one side to the
other of the front part of the house,
and ha* a fireplace at one end. Six
windows and the front door admit light
to the room, assuring a pleasant place
for the entertainment of afternoon
-guests. In the rear of the living room
the dining room occupies one side of
the house and the bedroom the other.
A three-window bay is built into the
outside wall in each of these »ooms.
The opening from each of the room* to
the front part of the house 1* cased.
The kitchen Is centrally located In
the rear of the house with the bath
room on one Bide and the rear porch
on the other. The rear porch Is really
built as an additional room and will
prove to be a valuable addition to the
space provided In the kitchen. The
porch floor la lower than the kitchen
floor. There are two steps In the pas
sage to the kitchen and two steps from
the porch to grade. Space Is provided
for the refrigerator on the porch,
where It may be Iced without tracking
dirt Into the house. The basement is
entered from the rear porch. Closets
■re provided in the bedroom, kitchen
and rear porch, and a cupboard is set
Into the wall In the kitchen.
The utility of this room arrangement
will be easily realized. A large, bright
living room, such as is provided In this
design. Is considered a necessity by
those who take pride In making the
most of their home. The numerous
windows are pleasant and an abun
dance of healthful sunshine Is admit
ted Into the house. The Interior Is
fully capable of furthering the good Im

FROCK FOR CHILD
FLUFFY SKIRT OF BLI/B SILK
MULL EASY TO MAKE.
■ ______
Home Dressmaker Will Find If No
Hard Task to Design and Make
Ready the Garment De
scribed Below.
....
Like a flower of spring Is this fluffy
Skirt of blue silk mull trimmed with
bias folds of blue taffeta.
Every woman who can sew at all
knows that a ruffled skirt Is the eas
iest to make. A plain foundation Is
gathered to a waist band and meas-'
ured to the length on the child; then '
ruffles are stitched around the skirt,
the upper ruffle forming the line for
those that follow.
UK will be well to lit tbe skirt'lining
and then rip the basting at the belt,
' because ruffles are mote easily stitched
on tbe lining when it is smooth.
| In this instance the ruffles must have
the bias folds stitched on the right
> side, then turned over and hemmed
down on the under side. By applying
, the folds In this manner tbe stitching
will not show,
I' A mother, perhaps. Is unwilling to
j take the trouble involved In applying
these folds on scallops. The work, of
course, Is somewhat tedious. In such
case It la a simple matter to hem the
ruffles or make them of embroidery.
For ordinary wear the wise mother
i will make , this dress of wash mate
i rials which may be frequently laun
i dered.
It Is to be remembered that little
girls may wear china silk and sport
i silk as well aa silk mull, but chiffons
and taffetas are for the "grown-ups."
; The only variation from this rule is
i in the matter of taffeta coats, which
Pretty Frock for QlrL
! sometimes are permissible for summer
J use by children,
, Sashes, too, are not tbe same for
. children and adult*. Tbe former may
. wear a soft girdle of satin or crush
, able silk, or ribbon saabes of tbe kind
manufactured especially for children,
j but it is not good taste to put on a
child a grosgraln sash or any of the
t brocaded varieties that women wear.
HAILS RETURN OF SHAWLS

The news from the fashion world
la that shawls will come back, espe
cially tbe old paisley shawls that our
[ grandmothers wore and looked so
, well In, In the Sixties and before.. It
, will be a refreshing sight to see the

. disjointed coats they have been wear
ing. Why, some of these coats have
, been frights; and if it were not for
| the women themselves, they would
have scared off the populace. We
hope the shawl will return. Hut we
I have been wondering if the fashion
will Include the men In Its sway. Many
' | of our readers will remember when
I men wore shawls. They were Indeed
■ a luxury—so handy and warm. They
i were generally of a light gray color,
, but many men affected stripes and
seemed very proud of their appear*
