This is the last appeal the “Watch- man” will make to the Democrats of Centre county to join the popular movement to wipe out the debt that has proven the only dark spot in the glorious victory we won at the polls last November. Thus far we feel that the results have been only partially gratifying for we had hoped that long ere this the voluntary contributons would have equalled the amount that the National Committee was expecting from old Centre. We can see little use of de- voting future space to the movement. We have repeatedly presented the matter and urged a general response and feel that everything aside from a personal canvass has been done, so that if you have been holding back for any cause whatever this is the last appeal the “Watchman” will make. We will hold the last remittance to treasurer Marsh until the 15th inst, so that remittances either in person or by mail to this office before that time will be forwarded and acknowledged by the National Treasurer. Aren’t there enough Democrats in the county who feel like giving a dol- lar or so to run the total up to one hundred, at least. ! § | The “Watchman”’ $10.00 J. L.

Washington, February 7.—The | steady stream of reports telling of the destruction of merchant ships by German submarines was brought toa | climax tonight by a cablegram to the State Department from Consul Frost at Queenstown announcing that the British passenger liner California had been torpedoed without warning and that an American citizen was among the survivors. Whether this will prove to be the |’ overt act to drive the United States into war no one would attempt to say tonight. President Wilson who must make the decision had retired when the news came and officials did not wake him. Late in the afternoon he had been informed of a message from Consul Frost telling or the sinking of the California but giving no details as to warning or the presence of Americans. The President undoubtedly will wait for complete reports on the dis- aster before determining whether the time has come for him to go to Con- gress to ask authority to “use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our peo- le.” b THE OFFICIAL REPORT. The Consul’s first report said there was “one death and thirty hospital casess” among the more than 200 peo- ple on board the liner. The _ second added no information concerning cas- ualties except that the survivors were landed at Queenstown tonight among them being John A. Lee, of Mont- gomery, Ala., the only American known to have been aboard, and that some still were missing, including two women and several children. Lee is supposed to have been a member of the crew, as his name does not appear on the passenger list made public at New York. The fact that the American escap- ed lessened in a degree the excitement created by the news, but only in a degree. More than a score of mer- chant craft have been sent to the bottom in the war zone within the past twenty-four hours and fifty or more since the German proclamation of ruthless warfare on the seas went into effect last Thursday. It is real- ized that if no citizen of the United States ‘was among the victims, it merely was a fortunate accident and that it can be only a matter of hours before Americans are caught in such wholesale des ruction. LAST HOPE GONE. The California, which was bound from New York for Glasgow, is the first big passenger steamer to be destroyed since the Arabia was torpe- doed in the Mediterranean months ago. Her sinking has about swept away the last lingering hope here that Germany after all would permit passenger carriers to escape in an effort to avoid driving the United States to hostilities. ’ Ryndam Returns to New York. New York, Feb. 7.—The Holland- American liner Ryndam, which sail- ed from New York January 29, is re- turning to this port, a cable message from the Holland-American line’s of- fices abroad informed the local offices today. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. The President Announces Severance of Relations With Germany Washington.—President Wilson has broken off diplomatic relations with Germany and warned the Kaiser that ruthless lives and rights means war. Similar action is waiting for Austria should she notify this government that she joins in the campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare. Passports have been handed to Count von Bernstorff, and Ambassador Gerard with all his staff and all American consuls are on their way out of Germany. All German consuls in the United States are expected to with- draw that the severance may be complete. American diplomatic interests in Berlin have been turned over to Spain; German diplomatic interests in the United States have been taken over by Switzerland. Foreign diplomatic in- terests which the United States had in charge in Germany have been turned over to various neutrals. At two minutes after two o’clock last Saturday afternoon President Wilson addressed the Congress of the United States on a question which might ultimately become the most serious one that has ever been raised in the history of our country. Our relations with Germany had become so strained that only a few moments before he had ordered passports given to the German Ambassador and directed that Ambassador Gerard be recalled from Berlin. The President’s speech follows and explains itself. Let us pray to God, as individuals and as a Nation that though on the brink of it we may yet be saved from the plunge into the chasm of war. Gentlemen of the Congress: The Imperial German Government on the thirty-first day of January an- nounced to this Government and to the Governments of the other neutral na- tions that on and after the first day of February, the present month, it would adopt a policy with regard to the use of submarines against all shipping seeking to pass through certain designated areas of the high seas, to which it is clearly my duty to call your attention. Let me remind the Congress that on the eighth day of April last, in view of the sinking on the twenty-fourth of March of the cross-Channel passen- ger steamer Sussex by a German submarine without summons or warning, and the consequent loss of the lives of several citizens of the United States who were passengers aboard her, this Government addressed a note to the Imperial German Government in which it made the following declaration: If it is still the purpose of the Imperial German Government to prose- cute relentless and indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines, without regard to what the Government of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of interna- tional law and the universally recognized dictates of humanity, the Gov- ernment of the United States is at last forced to the conclusion that there is but one course it can pursue. Unless the Imperial Government should now immediately declare and effect an abandonment of its pres- ent methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight-carry- ing vessels the Government of the United States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German Empire altogether. Germany’s Rejected Pledges Quoted In reply to this declaration the Imperial German Government gave this Government the following assurance: The German Government is prepared to do its utmost to confine the operations of war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents, thereby also insuring the freedom of the seas, a princi- ple upon which the German Government believes now, as before, to be in agreement with the government of the United States. The German Government, guided by this idea, notifies the Govern- ment of the United States that the German naval forces have received the following orders: In accordance with the general principles of visit and search and destruction of merchant vessels recognized by interna- tional law, such vessels, both within and without the area declared a na- val war zone, shall not be sunk without warning and without saving hu- man lives, unless these ships attempt to escape or offer resistance. But (it added) neutrals cannot expect that Germany, forced to fight for her existence, shall for the sake of neutral interest restrict the use of an effective weapon if her enemy is permitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare violating the rules of international law. Such a demand would be incompatible with the character of neutrality, and States does not think of making such a demand, knowing that the Gov- ernment of the United States has repeatedly declared that it is determin- ed to restore the principal of the freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter it has been violated. : Warning of “Absolute Responsibility” To this the Government of the United States replied on the eighth of May, accepting, of course, the assurances given, but adding: The Government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the Imperial German Government does not intend to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotia- tions between the Government of the United States and any other bellig- erent Government, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the Imperial Government’s note of the fourth instant might appear to be sus- ceptible of that construction. . In order, however, to avoid any misunderstanding, the Government of the United States notifies the Imperial Government that it cannot for a moment entertain, much less discuss, a suggestion that respect by Ger- man naval authorities for the rights of the citizens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or in the slightest degree be made contingent upon the conduct of any other Government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombatants. Responsibility in such matters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative. To this note of the eighth of May the Imperial German Government made no reply. Germany’s Latest Notice of Ruthlessness ; on the thirty-first of January, the Wednesday of the present week, the German Ambassador handed to the Secretary of State along with a formal note, a memorandum which contained the following statement: The Imperial Government, therefore, does not doubt that the Gov- ernment of the United States will understand the situation thus forced “upon Germany by the Entente Allies’ brutal methods of war and by ‘their determination to destroy the Central Powers, and that the Govern- ment of the United States will further realize that the now openly dis- closed intention of the Entente Allies gives back to Germany the freedom of action which she reserved in her note addressed to the Government of the United States on May 4, 1916. Under these circumstances, Germany will meet the illegal measures of her enemies by forcibly preventing, after February 1, 1917, in a zone around Great Britain, France, Italy and in the eastern Mediterranean, all navigation, that of neutrals included, from and to England and from and to France, ete. All ships met within the zone will be sunk. No Alternative But a Break I think that you will agree with me that, in view of this declaration, which suddenly and without prior intimation of any kind deliberately with- draws the solemn assurance given in the Imperial Government’s note of May 4, 1916, this Government has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States but to take the course which, in its note of April 18, 1916, it announced that it would take in the event that the German Gov- ernment did not declare and effect an abandonment of the methods of sub- marine warfare which it was then employing and to which it now purposes again to resort. I have, therefore, directed the Secretary of State to announce to his Ex- cellency the German Ambassador that all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German Empire are severed and that the American Ambassador at Berlin will immediately be withdrawn; and, in accordance with this decision, to hand to his Excellency his passports. Notwithstanding this unexpected action of the German Government, this sudden and deeply deplorable renunciation of its assurances, given this Government at one of the most critical moments of tension in the relations of the two Governments, I refuse to believe that it is the intention of the German authorities to do in fact what they have warned us 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 our own or to the solemn obligations which have been exchanged between them, and destroy American ships and take the lives of American citizens in the willful prose- cution of the ruthless naval program they have announced their intention to adopt. Only actual overt acts on their part can make me believe it even now. Prepared to Take Further Steps If this inveterate confidence on my part in the sobriety and prudent foresight of their purpose should happily prove unfounded; if American ships and American lives should in fact be sacrificed by their naval com- manders in heedless contravention of the just and reasonable understand- ings of international law and the obvious dictates of humanity, I shall take the liberty of coming again before the Congress to ask that authority be given me to use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our people in the prosecution of their peaceful and legitimate errands on the high seas. I can do nothing less. I take it for granted that all neutral governments will take the same course. We do not desire any hostile conflict with the Imperial German Govern- ment. We are the sincere friends of the German people and earnestly desire to remain at peace with the Government which speaks for them. We shall not believe that they are hostile to us unless and until we are obliged to be- lieve it, and we purpose nothing more than the reasonable defense of the un- doubted 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 immemorial principles of our people, which I have sought to express in my address to the Senate only two weeks ago; seek merely to vindicate our rights to liberty and justice and an unmolested life. These are the bases of peace, not war. God grant that we may not be challenged to defend them by acts of willful injustice on the part of the Gov- ernment of Germany! sacrifice of American UNCLE SAM'S HUMAN RE- .
