"The events of the last month

"We sent troops and warships to

We abandoned our people at Tam

The Mexican situation *ls also
acute. Both "Wilson and Secretary

t_ "Unless the Imperial German
government should immediately

warfare against passenger and \

government will have no rrw

concluding a flfteei/mlnute ad

the House and the Senate. "We
N arrive at this decision with k?en
"fegret over the possible action
contemplated and I am sure that
thoughtful Americans will look
forward with unaffected reluc
tance to it."
This is President Wilson's
ultimatum to Germany and la
considered final. He cited the
German announcement of Feb
ruary 15. declaring her Intention
of destroying the shipping of the

charged Germany with "ruthless
disregard of assurances and
