Text of Wilson's Address. , Tint president spoke as follows: "tieullctntm of the congress: The Imperial German government on the Hat of January announced to this government and to the governments of the other neutral nations that on and after the 1st day of February, the present month, It would adopt a policy with regard to the use of sub marines against all shipping seeking to paas through certalu designated areas or the high scss, to which It la clearly my duty to call your at tention. "l-t me remind the congress that on the 8th of April last, In view of the sinking on the Nth of March of the cross chsnttel passeoger steamer fiussei by a German submarine, with out summons or warning and the con sequent loss of the lives of several cltltens of the ( 'tilted Btales. who were passengers aboard her, this gov ernment addressed a note to the Im perial German government. In which It made the following declaration: Sussex Ultimatum Recalled '"If It la still the purpose of the Imperial government to prosecute the relentless and Indiscriminate warfure against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to what the government of the United mates must consider the sacred and Indisputable rules of International law and the universally recognized dictates of Immunity, the government of the United States Is at last forced to thf conclusion that there Is but une course It can pursue. " Tnless the Imperial government should now Immediately declare and effect an abandonment of Its present methods of submarine warfare against passenger and freight-carrying vessels, the government of the I'nlted States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German empire altogether.' "In reply to the declaration, the Imperial German government gave thla government the following assur ances: " 'The German government is pre pared to do Its utmost to confine the operations of war for the rest of Its duration to the fighting forcea of the belligerents, thereby also Insur ing the freedom of the seas, a prin ciple upon which the German govern ment believes Itself now, us before, to be In agreement with the govern ment of the Untied .Stales. " 'The German government, guided by this Idea, notifies the government of the United Slates that the German naval forces have received the fol lowing orders: ) In accordance with the general principles of visit and search and de struction of merchant vessels recog nized by International law, such ves sels, both within unil without the area declared a naval war tone, shall not be sunk without warning and without saving human lives, unless these ships attempt to escape or offer resistance." Reservation In Pledge. " 'But,' It added, 'neutrals cannot si pec t 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 la permitted to continue to apply at will methods of warfare violating the rules of international law. Such a demand would be Incompatible with the charaoter of neutrality, and the German government Is convinced that the government of the United States has repeatedly declared that it Is determined to restore the princi ple of the freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter it has been violated. "To this the government of Uie United States replied on the 8th of May, accepting of course the assur ances given, but adding: " 'The government of the United Utates feels It necessary to state that It takes It for granted that the imper ial German government does not in tend to Imply that the maintenance of Its newly announced policy is In any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and any other belligerent gov ernment, notwithstanding the fact lust certain passages In the imperial government's note of the 4th instant might appear to be susceptible of that construction. " In order, however, to avoid any Btlsunderatandini, the government of the United States notifies the Imper ial government that It cannot lor moment entertain, much less discuss a suggestion that respect by German naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the I'nltcN Slates up m the high seas should In any way or In the slightest degree be made com In i; ill upon the conduct of any otl.r gover-unent affecting tne rights of neutrals and non '(i(tibslsnts K spousiblllty lu mu ll matters Is single, not Joint, absolute, not relative.' "Tu this note of the "hth of May the Imperial German government made no reply. U Boat War Oeclared "On the 31st or January, the Wed nesday of the present week, the Ger man amhssssdor hsuded to the secre tary of slate, along Villi a formal note, a memorandum Which contained the following statement: "'The Imperial government, there fore, does not doubt tbat the govern ment of the t'ulleil Status will under stand the situation tntls forced upon Germany by Ilia entente allies' brutal methods of war and by their deter mination to destroy the central pow ers, and lhat Hie government or the United Stales will further realize that the now openly disclosed Intention or the entente elites gives back to Ger many the freedom of action which she reserved In tier note addressed to t tie government of the United States on May 4. 1SI6. " 'Under these clrcCmaiancea Ger many will meet the Illegal measurea of her enemies by forcibly prevent ing after February 1, JU 17. In a lone 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, etc., etc. All ships met with in the ton will be sunk.' "I think tbat you will agree with me that In view of thla declaration which suddenly and without prior In timation of any kind deliberately withdraws (he solemn assuranca giv en Id the Imperial goTernment's sot or the 4th of May, lt16, thla govern ment has no alternative consistent with, the dignity and' honor of the United States but to Inks the course which, In Its note or the lltn or April, 1916. It announced that It would take Id the event tbat the German govern ment did not declare and effect an abandonment of the methods or sub marine warfare which It waa then em ploying and to which it now purposes again to resort. ' "I have, therefore, directed the sec retary of state to announce to his ex cellency, the Geriimu ambassador, that all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German empire are severed and that the American ambassador at Berlin will be Immediately withdrawn: and, in accordance with thla decision, to baud to his excellency his passports.
