many Tuesday for her submarine op r-
ations and it w ill go forward at once
to Berlin.

those who have seen it, w ill leave
nothing to the imagination. It is vir

and give complete guarantees that
submarine operations hereafter shall
be conducted in accordance witl^ the
principles o f humanity and interna
tional law. Ambassador Gerard w ill he
withdrawn from Berlin.
It develops that the President has
been considering three courses to pur
sue with reference to Germany. They
are:
1. To present all the facts in pos-
session o f this government to Germany
and to demand an explanation o f how
that nation can square its deeds with j
its promises.
2. To send a note reciting that
Germany has violated the solemn as- i
suranees made to the United States, !
and notifying her that unless prompt
reparation be made Ambassador G e r-)
ard will be withdrawn.
3. To break off relations without j
discussion.
It is not understood the President is
prepared at this moment to adopt the i
third proposal. It is the second which '
appeals to him and which probablj w ill
meet with his approval.
