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that Germany's present orders to commanders will have to be withdrawn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
