Whether peaceful and friendly re
lations will continue between the
United State and Germany now rests
wholly with the imperial government
of Germany. In a day or so we shall
know. Tht final declaration of the
United Stales in now in the hands ot
Germany. President Wilson went
before Congress Wednesday and told
what he had elotw.
The President's Sjieech
Mr. Wilson appeared before both
houses of Congress on Wednesday,
and delivered in person his spe ecu ou
the Gerinan situation. JJe said:
"Gentleman of the Congress:
"A situation has arisen in the for
eign relations of the country ol which
It is my plain duty to inform you
very frankly.
"It will bo recalled that In Febru
ary, 1915, the imperial merman gov
ernment announced its intention to
treat the waters surrounding Great
Britain nnd Ireland as embraced
within the seat of war and to destroy
all merchant ships owned by its ene
mies that might be found within any
part of that portion of the high seas,
and that It warned all vessels, of neu
tral as well as of belligerent owner
ship, to keep out of the waters it had
thus prescribed or else enter them at
their own peril. The government of
the I'nited States earnestly protected.
It took the position that such u Poli
cy could not be pursued without the
practical certainty of gross and palpa
ble violation of the laws of nations,
particularly if submarine craft were
to be employed as its instruiuei'es. In
asmuch us Ihe-ulo prescribed by ilia
law. rules founded upon principles of
humanity nnd established for 11)9 pro
tection of the lives of non comhatuiils
at sea, could not In ihe nature of the
case be obsen ed by such vessels.
ISaeo- of Protest.
"It based iM protest on thr ground
that persons f neutral nationality
aud vessels of neutral ownership
would be exposed to extreme and in
tolerable risks, and that no right to
close any puvt of the higJi sp,v
against their use or 'o cposp lliem to
such risks could lawfully he asserted
by any belligerent, govornmmit. The
law of nations In the " matte's, uno:t
which the government of the Uni'od
Stales based Its protest, is not of r
cent oi iuii: or founded open, merei'
arbitrary priii Iples set up by conven
tion. It Is based on the contrary,
upon manifest and Imperative princi
ples cd Immunity and has long been
established with the approval and by
the express absent of all civilised na
tions. "Notwlihst ending the earnest pro
test of our (t.v, ernment, the imperial
German govenment at once proceed
ed to carry cm I. the policy it pud an
nounced. Ii "pressed the hope that
the dangers involved, at any rale tin
danger to neutral vessi Is. vvoild he
reduced ton Minimum by th- instruc
tions which it had issued to lis sub
marine coiimn. 'iders, and assured the
governmi nt ol ihe I'nited Sta'ci- that
It would take every possible precau
tion, both to n snect the rights ol ucii-t-.'als
and to i--i.fcgu.ircl the livt-s ol
noncombatnnts.
Nil Diei imimitinn.
"In pursuance- of the policy of sub
marine warfare hg.ilns! the com mem -p
of Its ad erwirie., thus announced
and entered upon by Ihe im;n ria!
German government in spite of the
folci.n protest ot thi:i government,
the commanders o! Germr.n undcrsc:,
vcssvi i have attache) I merchr.nt ships
will, greater and greater activity
only upen the high seas surrounding
Great Britain and liel.ind but whm
ever tin y could encounter them
way tdt.t nas grown more and mor.-
ruthless, mere and more imliscrriml
nnte as (he months huve gone by,
!e:s and less observant of restraint
of nny k..id; and hi?vo delivered their
attacks without rompumojon against
vessel:) cd every nationality and bound
upon every sort of errand. Vessels
of netitr.'l ownership, even vessels of
neutral ownership bound fiom neu-
fral port to neutral port, hhve been
destroyed along with vessels of bel-
ligerant ownership In constantly In
creasing numbers. Sometimes the
merchantman attacked has been
warned and summoned to surtender
before being fired on or torpedoed;
sometimes passengers or crews have
been vouchsafed the poor security of
being allowed to take to the ship's
boats before she was sent to the bot
tom. Hut again and again no warn
ing has bren given, no escape even
to the ship's boats allowed to those
on board. What this government
foresaw must happen has happened.
Tragedy has followed tragedy on the
seas in such fashion, with such at
tendant tirrumstanccs, as to make it
Crossly evident that warfare of such
a sort, If warfare it be, cannot bp
carried on without the most palpable
violation of the dictates alike of
right and of humanity. Whatever
the disposition and the intention of
the imperial Gerinan government It
has manifestly proved Impossible for
It to keep such methods of attack
upon the commerce of Its enemies
within the bounds set by either the
reason or the heart of mankind.
The Xew German Order.
"In February of the present year
the Imperial German government In
formed this government and the oth
er neutral governments of th world
that it had reason to believe that th"
government ofCreM prW!ncr
artned all merchant vessels of British
ownership and had given them secret
orders to attack any submarine of
Ihe enemy they might encounter upon
the high seas and that the imperial
German government felt justified in
the circumstances in treating all arm
ed merchantmen of belligrrunt own
ership as auxiliary vessels of war.
which it would have the right to de
stroy without warning. The law of
nations has long recognized the right
of merchant men to carry arms for
projection and to use them to repel
attack, though to use them, in such
circumstances, at their own risk: hut
the imperial German government
claimed the rii.ht to set these under
standings aside in circumstance:-,
which it deemed extraordinary. Fven
the terms iu which it announced ie
purpose thus still further to relax th
reslrain's it had previously professed
its willingness and desire to put upon
the operations of its submarines car
ried ihe plain implication that nt
least vessels which were not armed
would still be exempt from destruc
tion without warning and that per
sonal safely would be accorded their
passengers and crews; but even that
liiiiuttion, if it was ever practicable
to observe it, has in fact constituted
nti check at all upon the destruction
of ships of every soi'i.
Again an d again the imperial Ger
man government f as given this gov
ernment its solemn assurances that at
least passenger s'.iips would not be
thus dealt with, and yet it has again
and again permitted its undersea
commanders to disregard those as
surances with entire impunity. Great
liners like the Lmitania nnd the Ava
hie and mere ferry boats like the
Sussex have Keen attacked without
moments warning, sometimes lefore
they had een become aware that
they were in the presence of an arm
ed vessel oi the enemy, and ll lives
nnd noncorihatanls, passengers, am
crew, have been sacrificed wholesale
In a manner which Ihe govcriment of
the I, nlted Stales cannot but regard
..s wunter nnd without the Slightest
color ol justification. No limit of
any hind has in fact been set to tin
Indiscriminate pursuit and destine
lion of n erchantnien of all Unds am)
tiutinnrUities within 'he vfc'.ers con
Ftanlly evlcndlng the are, where
theue operations hiive been carried
on, and th.! roll of Am "tic hps who
have losi iheir lives on ships thus at
tacked and destroyed n.is grow,
month by month until the- cuuinou
toll hti mounted into the hundreds.
The Sn-ex t'iiw;
"Ont if the latest and most shock
ing instuiees of this null oil of war
rare was that of the destruction ol
(he French cross rhanm I steam
Sussex. It must stand f:rih, as the
sinking : jl the steamer Lusitania did
and so singular tragical and unjiisti
liable as to constitute a truly terrible
example; oi the Inhiinritut' of subma
rine warfare as the commanders of
Gerinan vessels have for !jie past 1;
mom hi .bee n conducting li. If the
instance stood alone, some explana
tion, some disavow,:! bv (t.o German
government, some evidence, of criini
nai mr-uiKc? or wilful tiisoix elii'iice on
tne part ci' the commander '. f the ves
sel thnt trod the torpedo might lit
sought or entertained, bin unhappi
ly il doei- not stand alone Keeent
events make Ihe conclusion Inevita
ble that il is only one jnsta:.ce, even
though it b one of (he tuoh1 extr inl
and distressing Instancy;, of the spir
it and mctiind of warfare wiilch the
imperial German government ha
mistiikaldy leloptecl, and wlie h from
Ihe ;irst exposed that government te
the reproach of thmsliti? all .neutral
right! aside in pursuit of its Imme
diate objects.
"The government of the I'nited
States ha l beer, very patient. At ev
ery since of this distressing eperl
ence of tragedy after t Rigid; In
which its own citizens were involved
it has fought to be restrained from
any extreme course of action or of
protest by a thoimhtlul consideration
ol Ihe cxtracMdinury cirruniMunct of
th.s unprecedented war, and wtuated
in ; ill that it said or did by th" sent
iments of genuine friendship which
the iteople of the I'nited States have
nlwuyrf entertained and continue to
enlc ixaln towards Hi German nation.
It hu. of course iiercpted the sure a
siva ciplanntioms and assurance of
the Imperial Gerinan government lis
given in entire sincerity ami good
faith, nod has hoped, even against
hope, that It would prove to he possl
blt for th German Rover&nient so to
order and control the nets of Its na
val commanders as to Rqusre its pol
icy with fhfl principles of humanltv
as embodied in Ihe law of nations. It
has been willing to wait until the slg
nificance of the facts became abso
lutely unmistakable nnd susceptible
of but one interpretation.
Against lrlm lples of Humanity.
"That point has now unhappily
been reached. The farts are suscep
tible of but one Interpretation. The
Imperial German government has
been unable to put nny limits or re
straints upon Its warfare against ei
ther freight or passenger ships. It
has therefore become painfully evi
dent that the position which this gov
ernment took at the very outset is In
evitable, namely, that the use of sub
marines for the destruction of an en
emy's commerce Is of necessity, be
cause of the very character of the
vessels employed and the very meth
ods of attack which their employment
of course Involves, incompatible with
the principles of humanity, the long
established and Incontrovertible
rights of neutrals, and the sacred Im
munities of nnn-combataonta.
"I have deemed It my duty, there
fore, to aay to the imperial German
government that if It la ctill iU pnr
pog to prosecute relentless and In-j
of commerce by the use of subma
rines, notwithstanding the now dem
onstrated impossibility of conducting
that warfare in accordance with what
the government of the I'nited States
must consider the sacred and indis
putable rule of International law and
the universally recognized dictates of
humanity, the government of the
I'nited is at last forced to the con
clusion that there i. but one course it
can pursue; and that unless the im
perial German government should
now immediately declare and effect
an abandonment of its present meth
ods of warfare against passenger and
freight carrying vessels this govern
ment can have no choice but to sever
diplomatic relations with the govern
ment of the German empire altogeth
er. "Thin d "cision I have arrived at
with the keenest regret; the pcwsiuil
i'y of Ihe action contemplated I am
sure all thoughtful Americans will
look forward to with unaffected re
luctance. Hut we canned forget that
we are in some sort and by the force
of eicvunistanccs, the responsible
spokesman of l he lights of humani
ty, and that we cannot remain silent
while those whose i ights seem In pro
cess of being swept utterly away in
the maelstrom of this terrible) war.
We owe it to a clue regard for or
own rights as a nation, to our sense
of duty as a representative of the
rights of neutrals the world over, and
to a Just concel ion of the rights of
mankind to take 1'iis stand now with
the utmost solemnity aud firmiKss.
"1 have taken it. and taken it in
the confidence that it will nuvt with
your approval and support. All sober-minded
men must unite in hoping
that the Imperial German govern
which has iu other circumstances
stood as the 'champion of all that we
are now contending; for In the Inter
est of liumtnlty, may recognize the
Justice of our demands and meet
them In the spirit in wt"ch they are
made."
What Mr. Wilson Says, to Geinmny
The wire to licrlin dc lares:
"The .;ovcrnment of the I'nited
States l.as been very indent. . . It
has accepted the sncce; ive explana
tions :!id assurances d I ho Imperial
GovcTic icnt as, of course, given In
entire Miicerity npcl ft,ood faith, and'
hss Itr.iicd even agtin.st hope, that It
weiild prove to be possible! for the
Imperial Government so to ord-.T and
con I ml the acts of Vts naval com
manders as to square Its policy with
the .i-iceigiii.iil principles of hiiiiiani
l as embodied in the law of tmtioiiN
It hie; made every fcllownlice fur UP
prec' .elected conditions and has hem
willing to wait until the facts beci'tnc
unmistakable and were susceptible tf
on 1 j one interpretMi in.
"H now owes it to a just regard
for its own rights ! say to the Im
perial Government that that time l.e,s
f mn.
"SI has become painfully eviileiif fee
it that the position which It took at
Ihe very outset is Inevitable, rmmeiy,
the use of v.iV.mannes for Ihf Jc
striiction of an enemy's commerce is
of necessity because nf the very clt.W
acicci of the vessels employed find
ver methods ol attack, which itc ir
employment ot court e involves, utte-r-ly
incomputable wit it the principles
ol humanity, the long established
and 'incontrovertible I ights of hcm
I nils, and the sacieii immunities of
non-cMiiihatants,
"11 i! is slill (he purpose of the Im
perial government to prosecute iv-
lcnthfs and indi.icriiiiiiiate warfare'
p.gainst vessels of commerce by the
use id .submarines, wli.Mout regard t
what the government of (he Vnltcl
States must consider nie sacred an !
indisputable rules of international
law an. I the universally recognized!
dictates of humanity, tie1 government j
of the T nited State- is it last feire-
cd to tl.t: conclusion thin there Is buf
on course it can pursue.
Sev er Diplomatic lie ,'nt ions
'l.'nlesM the Imperial government
should nor lniniPdintly declare and
effect ;in Mianilonment cd Rs present
methods of submarine warfare
igainst passenger and freight-carry
Ing vessels, the government of tin
I'niled Ptiitcb can have no choice but
to i-ever diplomatic relations with the
German Imipue altogether. This ac
tion the government of the I'niteil
tilates contemplates with the greatest
reluctance, but feeds const ram-d to
take In behalf of humanity and tin
rights of neufrnj nations."
Siisse'x Only the Lust Thread
lLid the attack on the chancel
steamer Sussex, the note tells Ger
many, been an Isolated case, the I'nit
eul States might have hoped that the
submarine commander acted In viola
tion of his government's solemn
pledges and that the ends of Justice
might have been satisfied by a disa
vowal, reparation and his proper pun
ishment. But, It ndds, this case un
happily does not stand alone.
"On the contrary." says the note.
"the government of the United States
forced by recent events to conclude
that It is only one Instance, even
though ono of the most extreme and
most distressing instances of the de
liberate method and spirit of Indis
criminate destruction of merchant
vessels of alt sorts, nationalities and
destinations which have become more
and more unmistakable as the activi
ty of German undersea vessels of war
has In recent months been quickened
and extended."
The United States, the communica
tion declares, considers the torpedo
ing of the Sussex not only proved by
tha evidence, but actually aubstanti
ated by the German disclaimer of re
sponsibility.
Attached to tha American note as
an appendix are the facts In the case
of the Sussex. They how that three
American army and nsvy officer
ship not only screw bolts which cor
respond in use and identlticatlon
marks with those on German torpe
does in possession of the French gov
ernment at the naval station at Tou
lon, but that the American officers
actually found lifteen pieces of metal
which they Identified as parts of Ger
man torpedoes. Four of tlirm, steel
parts of the "war head" of the torpe
do, still bear th distinctive red paint
common to On.ian "war heads."
Beside this evidence, the note con
tends, every circumstance either ad
mitted by Germany in her disclaimer
or proved by affidavits of persons on
the destroyed liner, prove beyond
quesilon that she was torpedoed
w ithout warning.
F.vidcncc t'oiu lusixc
In short, the United States presents
the evidence as the capstone to an a'
cumulation of evicleiu'e extending
over a period of months which is
held to prove irrefutably that Ger
many's assurances to the I'nited
States have been repeatedly and wan
tonly violated.

BBVAV IN WASHINGTON
KISSI.W
Former Secretary Goes let the Capitol
lei Help Kwi IVuce With Germany
War Would be Unspeakable.
William Jennings Bryan, former
Secretary of State, went to Washing
ton yesterday afternoon. He said he
had come to render any aid possible
to prevent trouble between the Unit-:
il States and Germany. i
"I was on my way to New Orleans :
to deliver an address." he said.
'when the news reached me that a i
crisis in the submarine controversv I
with Germany had arise n. I cancelled i
all engagements and hurried to
Washington, not with any definite
plan, but in the hope that 1 could h
of some assistance in preset vim;
peace.
Met l'voiuiiieut Democrat !
Since my arrival today I have had '
se-veral conferences with prominent.
Democrats. I expect to havo more
conferences within the next two clays.
Beyond that time my plans are indefinite.
"I am hoping for two things in (his t
present grave situation first, that
Germany will accedo to the posh ! en
of the United States; second, that i. I
she does not, diplomatic relations I
will continue with a view to reaching t
an amicable settlement of the trou
ble'. War Would In- Unspeakable
"We must remember that there is
nothing filial bi'tween friends. A rup
ture between this country and Ger
many would Indeed be unfortunate.
If this dispute should end In war it
would be unspeakable.
"We are going to work to preserve
peace if possible. Our plans are ten
tative und I cannot discuss them at
this time.
Suyt Wilson Shouldn't Umlmrrnss
Congress.
"The responsibility for declaring
war i:; upon Congress, not upon the
President." said Mr. Bryan in his
statement, "and it is fair to assume
that when the duty of acting falls
upoe Congress, the President will be
willing to refrain from embarrassin ;
Congi'eiss, as he was anxious that he
should not he embarrassed."
Dec lares It Would be :i Crime
Last night Mr. Bryan nilemhel a
testimonial dinner given to lie wi
dow ol' JoM'ph Feds of Philadelphia.
In a spevcli al ilie dinner l.i..' riglii
Mr. Bryan declared ii v.nui.l h, ,

toward war. and inilftariMs and mun
