TO GERMANY BY
PRES. WILSON
-1
Washington, April 19. In an address before Congress today
President Wilson told of the dispatch of a note to Germany
that may mean the severing of ail friendly relations with that
powc.
In his address the president reviewed briefly the recent
events covering the strained relations with the German govern
ment and said that the United States had been very patient.
The action of undersea commanders in the sinking of the
Sussex is absolutely unexplained he said, and to maintain
friendly relations it will be necessary for Germany to alter
absolutely the rules of submarine warfare which it has observed
during the past twelve months. The president further said:
"This decision I have arrived at
with :he keenest regret; the possi
bility of the action contemplated I
am sure all thoughtful Americans
will look forward to with unaffected
reluctance.
"We owe it to a due regard for
our own rights as a nation, to our
sense of duty as a representative of
neutrals the world over, and to a
just conception of the rights of
RAILROAD PLANS ARE
FULLY DISCUSSED
fhe plans for building Prine
ville's railroad were discussed quite
fully by Jay II. Upton or. behalf of
the committee and N. G. Wallace,
a member of the council at the,
luncheon on Friday. j
The statements made by Mr.
Wallace, which seem to be agreed
to liy other members of the coun
cil, throw more light upon the situ
ation than any utterances made up
to that date.
Mr. Wallace explained that the
citv authorities were moving asj
rapidly as possible in the matter ..fon FriJav I'vening in the Baptist

funds in shane to make the con
struction of the road possible,
After the bonds are sold and tiie
money becomes available for the
work, a survey will be made, and
plans and specifications decided up-
on, Mr. Wallace explained, for the
ro.,:l. .
Then he said, the proposition will
perhaps be let to the lowest and
'best bidder, and if suitable bids are
; not received, the city will proceed
to the construction of the road,
j "1 assure you," Mr. Wallace con
tinued, "that the only question in
the world about this matter, is the
' s de of the bonds. As soon as this
money is available, a suitable cngi-
neer will lie put to worn ton tins
mine the best place to build the

road, and the city will see to it
that the road is built, if not by con-
tractors, then by the city."
"And further." Mr. Wallace
said, "after the matter is all com-
pleted and the road is built, there
will be no transaction that will
smack of graft or questionable
methods or any Kind.

with the utmost solemnity and
firmness. 1
"All sober-minded men must
unite in hoping that the imperial
German government, which has in
other circumstances stood as the
champion of all we are now con
tending for in the interest of
humanity, may recognize the Justice
of our demands and meet them in
the spirit in which they are made."
