J&-,. .. .1 ONE MORE ILLEGAL ATMCR BY U-BOATS MEANS RUPTURE, WASHINGTON OFFICIALS SAY Note to Berlin Leaves No Room for Debate and Puts Outcome Up to Germany, Is Opinion at Capital Comment at Capital Shows President Will Have' Sup port of Congress Germans Assert Kaiser Cannot Agree to Drastic Demand to Abandon Sub marine War on Commerce WASHINGTON. April 20. Washington directed attcnlion today to a conference expected some time before evening between German Ambassador von Dcrnslorff nnd Secretary of State Lansing. The outconie it is believed, would be important in its bearing on the demand of the. United States thntj Germany cease submarine warfare against all but actual war vessels. The Ambassador and the Secretary of State arc expected to discuss the United States' view of how submarine warfare should be carried on, once "present methods" are abandoned. At the State Department it was reiterated that Germany's present orders to commanders will have to be withdrawn and undersell attacks confined to warships pending any determination of a new' plan of operations against merchant shipping. PARIS, April 20. The world's greatest battle at Verdun, only 135 miles from the French capital, suddenly took second place in public interest today yvith arrival of dispatches reporting President Wilson's speech. The President's strong stand won Instant and unanimous approval here. That portion of his speech referring to his fight to uphold the principles of humanity was applauded as one of the finest utterances heard in any capital since the war began. WASHINGTON, April 2(1. One more illegal nttack on any ship, bclligcrant or neutral, whether Americans arc aboard or not, after Germany has had time to" transmit new orders to her submarine commanders, will mean the breaking of all relations this is Washington's view totlny" of the President's address yesterday to Congress and note to Berlin. Whether the break comes or not depends on.. Germany, officials insist. It has erased to be a question of words, and becomes ono of deeds. Comment in tho Capitol following the President's address shows that ho will have tho support of Congress in the course he has mapped out. Germans here in close touch with Berlin declare there will be no break that Germany will meet the President's demands. In Administration circles there is far less optimism, though many Senators and Representatives still believe that the break will be avoided, some counting on Germany's con cessions and some on. a moderate interpretation of the s,tatemgnj.5.rnadc.ui TltcinOfe 'and' address, it is agreed on all Sides, .are far stronger and morff&llfcftihX ,Thcyr tfrepjrtimlly Identical,, unds 'lawycra jpolnl, .out 'Ihaf .they" .narrow the whole, debate down to ono-issue white The question rnr law, of responsibility, of disavowal nnd of indemnity have all been set aside, nnd the President has made a single demand that submarine outrages ceaie. The gist of his whole position is iiccinren 10 uu mnitu " " ono Sentence: 'Tnless tho Imperial Government should now Immediately declare, nud effect nn ab.iudomucnt C Its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels, the Government of tho United States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German Kmplre altogether." NO ROOM I.KFr FCm DEBATE. This, oulcials point out. Is nn ultimatum In all but that It falls to name a definite timo limit It states what must be done, and what will follow if the demand Is disregarded. It does not leave room for debate. Whether a break will come. Germans hero say, depends on the evact meaning of this passage, and they see in It a way nut of tho cilsis without serious humilia tion to cither nation. Hut Administration officials see In tho passage a meaning very different from that put on It by the Ger mans. "Tim note means that Germany must declare she has abandoned tho use of sub marines against commerce," said a high official today, "or there will be a break, A promise to use submarines In future un der International law would not be accept able. Wh,en the notq saya 'present meth ods' It means the submarine warfare on merchant ships,' If this interpretation Is that of tho President. German officials say. a break is certain, Germany will not abandon tha use of the submarine, which she bojleves Is her only weapon against Britain, and which she also bellees is certain in the end to conquer Britain and end the war. But they do not accept tho Interpreta tion. "The Tresldent says we must abandon our present methods," said one high offi cial of the German Embassy- "These methods were adopted in reprisal against Continued an 1'ais Two.
