N'lutt tins government foresaw
must happen haH happened. Trogody
hai followed tragedy on the sens in
niieh fashion, with Hticlt ntlendnnt
circumstances ni to make it grossly
evident that warfare of such a mirt,
if warfare it be, cannot be eanied on
without the most palpable violation
of the dictates alike of ngbt and Im-
inanity. Wliulover the disposition
and iiitontibu of (he imperial (leimnn
government, it has infuiifenlly proved
impossible for it to keep snob melb
odri of ilttaak upon (he commerce, of
Sin enemies within the bounds sot hyj
eilber tbe ronsnn or (he heart ol man
kiinl. Aimed Milp (VintiineiNy
In February of the present year tho
imperial Oennnn government inform
ed tliiK government and the other nftti
trnl governments of the world that it
Imd reason to believe that tho govern
ment of flrent Mnlaiu had armed all
lnorchnnl vessels of thuir ownership
and had ghen them secret onion to
nttnok nn subiuiirinc of tho enemy
they Hiilit encounter iion the sens,
and thivt lint impel inl (lerman govern
laent fell justified in tho eirettni
htanroK in treating nil merchantmen
of lielligcrent ownership as auxiliary
vessel of war, which it would have
tliu right to destroy without warning.
The law of nation has long roeog
nixed tliu right of merchnutmeti to
carry arms for nrotection and to use
them to repel attack, though to use
them iii Mich circumstances al their
own risk; but tho imperial Qenuau
government claimed the right to set
these iiiulcrtnkiiiga aside until com
merce, wh eh It deemed extraordin
ary. Kvcn the tetnis in which it an
nounced its purpose tlnis "till fuither
to relax the restraints it had previ
ously professed its willingness and
desire to put umw the operation of
its submarine carried the pliutt im
)licutin that at least vessel which
ware not armed would still be e.empt
from destruetioii without warning,
mid that persoiutl safety would be ac
corded their pflsscugers anl erews;
but een that limitation, if it wax ever
practicable to observe it, has in fact
constituted no cheek at all upon the
destruction of ships of every sort.
.Solemn Assimuiros
A train and again the imperial Her
man government im given this go
eminent its solemn assurances that at
least passenger hi would not be
thus dealt with, and yet it has again
ami again permitted its undersea
commanders to disregard those as
surauees with entire impunity, flroat
liner like tho I.uaitania and the Ar
abic and mere ferryboats like tbe
Xussex have been attacked without a
monioul's warning, feoraetinies before
they had oven beuomc nwaro that
they were in tho presence of an arm
mi vessel of the enemy, and the liven
of uoncouibntauls, imssongers and
erewn have been sacrificed wholesale
in a manner which the government of
the United States cannot but regard
as wanton and without the slightest
color of justification.
Xo limit of nuv kind has in fact
been set lo the indiscriminate pursuit
and deohuetiou of merchantmen of
nil kinds anil nationalities, within the
water, constantly extending in area
where these oeratioiis have ' hecu
enrriod on; and the roll of American
who have lost their lives on ship thus
attacked and det roved has grown
month by month, until the ominous
toll has mounted into the hundreds.

the spirit and method of warfare
which the imperial Herman govern
ment has mislnkonly adopted and
which from the first cxHcd that
government to tho reproach of
thrusting all neutral rights aside in
pursuit of its immediate objects.
l S. Voiy Patient
The government of the United
States ban been very patient. At ev
ery stage of this distressing experi
ence of t raged v after tragedy in
which its own citizens were iinolved,
it lias siuigbtto be rcstrniiied from
any extreme course of action or of
protest by a thoughtful consideration
of the extraordinary circumfctanccs
of this unprecedented war, and actu
ated in all that it said or did by the
(entiiiients of genuine friendship
which the iieoplc of the Tnilcd Stales
always have entertained and continue
to entertain toward the Herman na
tion. It has, of course, a''fptcd the
successive explanations and assur
ances of the iniierinl Oennnn uovorrc
meut as given, in entitle sincerity and
good faith, and has 1iomm1, even
against horn, that it would prove to
be jmssilile for the Herman govern
ment so to order and control the acts
of its naval commanders as to spmie
its Hilicy with (he principles- of in
humanity as embodied in the law of
nations. It hns been willing to wait
until the significance of the fasts be
came absolutely nnmistakeable anil
Misccptible of but one iuterpictation.
Crisis Is Itcnrlicd
Thnt point has now, unhappily,
been reached. The facts are suscept
ible of but one interpretation. The
imperial German government has not
been able lo put any limits or re
straints upon its warfare against
either freight or imssonger ships. It
has therefore become painfully evi
dent Hint the ivositiou which this gov
ernment took nt the very outset is
inevitable, namely, that tho iiso of
submarines for the destruction of any
en may's commerce is of necessity,
because of the very character of the
vessels employed and the very meth
ods of attack, which their employ
ment of course involved, incompat
ible with the principles of humanity,
the long-established and incontro
vertible rights of neutrals and the sa
cred immunities of noucomlHitnnts.
To Sever Itolatlons

This decision 1 have arrived at with
the keenest regret. The
of the action contemplated, I nm sure
all thoughtful Americans wilt loek
forward to with unaffected reluct
ance. Itut we cannot forget that we
are in some sort aud by the force of
eirenmstnuees the responsible smkes
meti of the rights of humanity, nnd
that we cannot remain silent while
those rights scent in pieces of being
swept utterly nwny in the maelstrom
of this terrible war.
Owe II to .Mankind
We owe it lo a due regattl for our
own rights as a nation, to our sense
of duty aa a representative of the
rights of neutrals, the world over, and
to n ju-t conception of tho rights 'of
mankind, to take this slaml'mov with
the utmost solemnity hud 'firmness.
I have taken it, and taken it in the
confidence thnt it will meet with your
approval and ttoit. All sober
minded men must unite in hoping thnt
the imperial Herman government,
which has in other circumstances aru rlaselfloU as among tho most 11
stood as the champion of nil that we literate of western llurtipo, yet are
