lere's Complete Text of President Wilson's Address On Submarine Situation

Following is the complete text of the president's address: Gentlemen of the Conre.: "A situation has arisen in the foreign relations of the country of which it is my plain duty to inform you very rankly. "It will be recalled that in February. F.U5, the imperial German government announced its intention to treat the waters surrounding Great Fritain and Ireland as embraced within the sit of war and to destroy all merchant ships owned by its enemies that might be found within any part of that portion of the high seas, and that it warned all vessels, of neutral as wtll as of belligerent ownership, to keep out of the waters it had thus prescribed, or else enter them at their peril. V. S. Government Protests. The government of the United States earnestly protested. It took the position that such a policy could not be pursued without the practical certainty of gross and palpable violation of the law of nations, particularly if submarine craft were to he employed as its instruments, inasmuch as the rules prescribed by that law, rules founded upon principles of hurnanitv and established for the protection of the lives of non-combatants at sea could not in the nature of the case be observed by such vessels. It based its protest on the ground that persons of neutral nationality and vessels of neutral ownership would be exposed to extreme and intolerable risks and that no right to close any part of the high seas against their use or to expo them to such risks could lawfully be asserted by any' belligerent government. The law of nations !n these matters, upon which the government of the United States based its proteat is not of recent origin or founded upon merely arbitrary principles set up by convention. It Is based, on the contrary, upon manifest and imperative principles of humanity and has long been established with the approval and by the express assent of all civilized nations. rrexvods With Policy. "Notwithstanding the earnest protest of our government, the imperial German government at once proceeded to carry out. the policy it has announced. It expressed the hope that the dangers involve!, at any rate the dangers to neutral vessels, would be reduced to a minimum by the instructions which It had issued to its submarine commanders, and assured the government of the United States that it would take over; possible precaution both to respect ti e rights of neutrals and to safeguard the lives of non-combatants. "What lifts actually happened in the year which has since elapsed has shown that those hopes were not Justified, those assurances insusceptible of being fulfilled. In pursuance of the policy of submarine warfare against the commerce of its adversaries, thus announced and entered upon by the imperial German government in despite of the solemn protest of this government, the commanders of German undersea pssels have attacked merchant ships with greater and greater activity, not only upon the high seas surrounding Great Fritain and Ireland, but wherever they could encounter them, in a way that has grow n more ami more ruthless, more and more indiscriminate as the months have gone by. bss and l's-s observant of restraints of any kind: and have delivered their attacks without compunction against vessels of every nationality and bound upon every sort of errand. Neutral Vo'cU Attacked. Vessels of r.eutral ownership, even vessels of neutral ownership bound from neutral port to neutral port, have been destroyed aloni? with vessels of bellUerent ownership in constantly increasing numbers. Sometimes the merchantman attacked lias been warned and summoned to surrender before be'.nc: tired on or torpedoed; sm tjmes passengers or crews have be-"n vouchsafed the poor security of being allowed to taV- to the ship's boats before she was sent to the bottom. Fut again and again, no warning has been given, no escape even to the ship's boats allowed to thoso on board. What this government foresaw or must happen has happ'-ned. Tragely has followed tragedy on the seas in such fashion, with such attendant circumstances, as t make it gr-sly evident that warfar of such a sort, if warfare it be. cannot h carried n without the most ralpaMe violation of the dictate alike of rizht and humanity. WtVttVrr the disposition and intention of the imperial German covernm'nt. his manifestly proved impossible for it to keep such methods of attack upon the commerce of its enenile-a within bound set by either th" reaon or the heart f mankind. "In February of the present jer

the Imperial German government informed this gov crnt.ieflt and the other neutral governments of the world that it had reason to believe that the government of Great Fritain had armed all merchant vessels ; Fritish ownership and had given them secret orders to attack any submarine of the enemy they might encounter upon the seas, and that the imperial German government felt Justified in the circumstances in treating all armed merchantmen of belligerent ownership as auxiliary vessels of war, which it would have the right to destroy without warning. The taw of nations has long recognized the ri.uht of merchantmen to carry arms for protection and to use them to repel attack, though to use them, in such circumstances, nt their own risk; hut the imperial German government claimed the right to set these understandings aside in circumstances which it deemed extraordinary. Even the terms in which it announced its purpose thus still further to relax the restraints it had previously professed its willingness and desires to put upon the operations of its submarines carried the plain implication that at least vessels which were not armed would still be exempt from destruction without warning and that personal safety would be accorded their passen s,'ers and crews; but even that limitation, If it was ever practicable to observe it, has in fact constituted no check at all upon the destruction of ships of every sort. Disix'iianl Assurances. "Again and again the imperial German government has given this government its solemn assurances that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has again and a:ain permitted its undersea commanders to disregard those assurances with entire impunity. Great liners like the I,usltanla and the Arabic and mere ferry boats like the Sussex have been attacked without a moment's warning, some times before they had even become aware that they were in the presence of an armed vessel of the enemy, ami the lives of non-combatants, passengers and crew, 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. Vo limit of any kind has in fact been set to the indiscriminate pursuit and destruction of merchantmen of all kinds and nationalities within the waters, constantly extending In area, where these operations have been carried on. and the roll of Americans who have lost their lives on ships thus attacked and destroyed, has grown month by month until the ominous toll has mounted into the hundreds. Sussex Cas Shocking. "One of the latent and most shocking instances of this method of warfare was that of the destruction of the French cross-channel steamer Sussex. It must stand fourth, tj the sinking of the steamer Lusitania did. as so singularly tragical ami unjustifiable as to constitute a truly terrible example of the inhumanity of submarine warfare as the commanders of German vessels have for th past 1- months been conducting it. If this instance stood alone, some explanation, some disavowal by the Germ.au government, some evidence of criminal mistake or wilful lisohedienee on the part of the commander of th- vessel that fired th torpedo mi;ht be sought or entertained, but unhappily it does not stand alone. Kecent events make the nclusion inevitable that it is only one instance, i v en though it be one of the most extreme and distressing instances, of the spirit and method of warfare which the imperial German government has mistakenly adopted, and which from the first exposed that government to the reproach of thrusting all neutral r,ghts i tide in pursuit of its immediate object?. 1'. S. Has IUxni Patient. "Th government if the Unifi States has been very patient. At every state of this distressing e.erience of tragedy after tragedy In which its own citizens were involved it had sought to be restrained from any extreme course (,f action or of protest by a thoughtful consideration of the extraordinary cirrum stances of this unpre e dentd war, and actuated in all it said or lid by the sentiments of jnu:ne friendship which the people of the United States have alvvavs er.fr ta ir.ed and continue to entertain toward the German nation. It has. of cc, rs. acepteJ the mi oessive explanation and assurances of thr imperial German poverntnent a given in e:.:ir sincerity and good faith, and h.u hoped, even against hope, that it

Summary of Submarine Activities Leading to Present Crisis

On Feb. 4, 1915, the German government issued a proclamation declaring the waters around the British isles a war zone and giving notice that, alter Feb. IS, all merchant ships owned by the enemy powers would be sunk. On Feb. 19 the Fnited States sent a note of protest against Germany's submarine warfare on the ground that Americans traveling on Fritish and French ships would be imperiled. On May 7, the liner Fusitania was sunk with the loss of about I.JO' lives, more than 10 of the victims being Americans. Six days later the United States sent a note to Germany protesting. Then began an exchange of notes between the United states and Germany with United States maintaining that the German government would be, held to strict accountability. The German government on May 28 set up the contention that tne Fusitanii was armed and wa.s carrying munitions (contraband f war.) On June 10 the United States denied thi;t the husitana wa armed and insisting that Germany make proper icpa ration and promise not to sink any more ships without v. arnin. The German answer to this note ESTS IF y Gigantic Secret Service Operating For Germany Will Feel First Blows. Inrercatioi d News Service: WASHINGTON'. April 19.
