Down Wrath of Germans. NEPHI. VTAH I.N Washington. President Wilson has broken off diplomatic relations with Germany and warned the kaiser that ruthless sacrifice of American lives and rights means war. Similar action la waiting for Austria when she notifies this government that she Joins In the campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare. The president made formal announcement of his action to the country and to the world on February 3 at a joint session of congress. Passport have been handed Count ron Bernstorff; Ambassador Gerard, with his staff, and all American consuls have been ordered out of Germany. All German consuls In the United States are expected to withdraw that the severance of relations may be complete. American diplomatic' Interests 1n Berlin have been turned over to Spain; German diplomatic Interests In the United States have been taken over by Switzerland. Foreign diplomatic interests which the United States had In charge In Oerraitny have been turned over to various neutrals. Two years of diplomatic negotiation, marked with frequent crises and attended with the loss of more than 200 American lives on the high seas, have culminated with an act which In all the history of all the world has always led to war. Every agency of the American government haa been set in notion to protect the country against acta of German sympathizers. These moves are of necessity being kept secret. With the notice of severance of diplomatic relations, the United States sent to Dwrlln demand for the ImAmert-eaa- s mediate release of sixty-fou- r taken from ships captured by German raiders In the south Atlantic. At the request of the president, Immediately after bearing his address, began work oa new laws framed by the department of Justice to check conspiracies and plots against the United States which cannot be reached under exisUnx statutes. The question of convoying American merchant ahips through the submarine blockade haa been taken up and is being considered as one of the aext moves by this government. The news of the torpedoing of the American steamer Housalonlc, coming almoet before President Wilson's words In congress bad died away, created a tremendous sensation, but It foes not necessarily constitute such an invasion of American lights as the president said be would meet by asking concrete for additional authority eon-tres- s. the United States warned Germany after the destruction of the Sussex that unless the imperial government declared and effected an abandonment of that sort of submarine warfare the United States would have no choice but to sever disploruatlc relations alThen he quoted from the together. German reply which gave assurances that no ships would be sunk without warning and provision for safety of passengers and crew. He recounted the provision the Gorman government attached, which In effect reserved to itself the right to recant Its promises If the United States did not secure relaxation of the British restraint on commerce, and then quoted from the reply of the United States, which refused to consider a conditional pledge and gave Germany final warning that It could not entertain or discus any such suggestion. The president did not refer to the long list of submarine operations which have been conducted in violation of the Sussex pledge, but proceeded at once to the new war scene order which became effective Feb- ruary 1. ( When he told how the German proclamation left nothing for the honor and dignity of the United States but a break in relations and that he had ordered passports sent to Von Bernstorff and a recall to Mr. Gerard, the assemblage broke into a cheer In which Republicans and Democrats alike Joined. More applause greeted his declaration ethat only an overt act could convince him that Germany Intended to violate American lives and rights, and there was prolonged applause sad cheering when he concluded by announcing that should American ships and lives be sacrificed "in heedless contravention of the Just and reasonable understanding of international law and the obvious dictates of humanity." he would again appear before congress to ask authority to "use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our people." A he concluded there were cheers of approval from both sides of tbe chamber, and the nrealdent reurnf to the White House to discuss meas ures f precaution with Secretary Daniels of the navy and Secretary Maker of the war department. Neutral governments have been notified of tbe action of the United Slates and have been openly Invited to follow its action if the new submarine campaign violates their lights. AMBASSADOR GERARD act. that pa iw ports bad been sent to Count iron BemaUirff. Although there was no official confirmation of the president's decision until he formally an nounced it himself to congress, the knowledge spread rapidly. Count von nernstorff heard It un officially while talking with a pre V x: J Washington. Following the break ing off of diplomatic relations with Germany. President Wilson has made a bold stroke to range the moral force of all other neutral countries along with that of the United States In the Interest of peace. The president ha suggested to all other neutrals that they break off diplomatic relations with Germany as the United States has done and has Instructed all American diplomats In those countries to report immediate ly how the suggestion la received. The opinion in dlpolmotlc quarters here la that European neutrals at the very doorstep of Germany, threatened by her military power will hesitate to take such a step. Tbe effect of the suggestion in other countries is being eagerly awaited. The presidents invitation to neutral to follow hi action was con tsined In Instruction to American dl plomata to announce the break with Germany to the governments to which they are accredited. The invitation was contained In the following order: "You will immediately notify the government to which you are accred lted tW the United States, because f the German government's recent announcement of It intention to renew unrestricted submarine warfare, haa no choice but to follow the course laid down in its not of April 18. 1916 (tbe Sussex note). "It has therefore, recalled the Amer ican ambassador from Berlin and haa delivered pasxporta to the German ambassador to tbe United States. "Say also that the president Is reluctant to believe Germany actually will carry out her threat against neutral commerce but If it be done the presi dent will ask congress to authorize use of the national power to protect Amer ican citizens engaged in their peaceful and lawful errands on the seas. "The course taken is to tb presi dent's view entirely In conflrmlty with the principles he enunciated In hi ad dress to the senate January 12. (The addres proposing world league for peace.) "He believes It will make for the pesce of the world If other neutral powers can find it possible to take similar action. "Report fully and Immediately on the reception of this announcement and upon the suggestion as to similar action." Thus It becomes apparent that In the shadow of war the president haa not abandoned his efforts for peace and sj the first step has moved to direct the moral force of the neutral world to compel Germany's return to an observance of International law at sea. The danger that broken diplomatic relations between the United State and Germany will develop Into a stste of war Is by no means minimized by President Wilson's course and neither he nor other official of Headquarters se Travel), Mm, Jrsw etegaatlr swalsl treana aid Pee tW, Mm heat. ftatta, sts. eewta ae eaat mt DONT BORROW The Time from your neighbor wbefl you caa get it for let than going forward, actively, although silently. to prevent the disPreparation abling of German snips In American ports are being taken, but they are unannounced.
