"The irovernment of th I'nlted Htnle
has been very patient. At every tg
of this dlstresiilng experlenc of tragedy
after tragedy In which It own clllxen
were Involved, It haa aought to be re
atralned from any extrem course of ac
tion or of proteat by a thoughtful con

actuated In all that It ld or did by
Ilia srutlmenta, of genuine frienrlnlilp
which the people of th I'nlted Htates
have always entertained and continue to
entertain toward tho German nation. It
ha of coure accepted ' the. Ucr.rtv
explanation and aasurancea of the lin
ierlBl Uernian government aa given In
entire sincerity and good faith, nd ha
' hoped, even against hope, that It would
prove to be possible for Ih German gov
eminent to so control th acts of It
naval commander to square lis policy
with th principle of humrilty em
bodied In the law of nstlon. It has boon
willing to wait until th (tgniilcanc of
the fact became absolutely unmilakahl
sod auaceptlbl of but one Interpret t Ion.
Kaiser FU to oalrol .Navy.
"That point now haa unhappily been
reached. Th fact gr ucptlble of but
on Interpretation. The imperial Oer
man government haa not been able to
put any limit or restraints upon II
warfare against either freight or pas
senger ships. It has, therefore, become
painfully evident that th position which
thl government took at the very outset
t Inevitable; namely, that the use, of
ubmaiine for ihe destruction of en
enemy commerc I of rteceaalty,
raue of th vi r character of the- va
sel employed I nd the very method, of
attacks which thetr employment, of
course, Involves. Incompatible with Hie
principle of Immunity, the long estab
lished nd Incontrovertible right of neu
tral and th ssctd ImpiiniUe of non
combatant. '
"I hav deemed It my duty, therefore,
to say to th Imperial 'German govern
ment that If It i still it purpose to
prosecute relentless and Indiscriminate
warfare against ' vessels of commerce by
th use of submarines, notwithstanding
the now demonstrated Impossibility of
conducting that warfare In ' accordance
with whet the government of th I'nlled
Htate must consider the aaured and In
disputable rule of International law
and the universally recognlxed dictates of
humanity, the government of the I'nlted
State i at last forced to the conclusion
that there la but one course It can nut--tie;
and that unless .the Imperii, I i.cr
man government should now immediately
declare nd effect an abandonment of
ita present methods of warfare against
passenger and freight carrying vrnrla.
this government can have no cnolce hut
to sever diplomatic, relation altngethrr.
"Vhla dei'tfion I have arrived at with
th keeneat regret; th posalbllity of the
action contemplated 1 am sure all
thoughtful Americans will look forward
to wltlv unaffected reluctance, put we
cannot forget tltt w are in some sort
and by the force of ' circumstances the
respotialhle spokesmen of the rlghta of
humanity, an, that wa cannot remain
silent while these right seem In process
of being swept utterly wy In the msel

the rights of mankind lo take ttn stan.
now with the utmost solemnity and flrtn
ueas. "I hav taken It, and taken It In th
confidence that It will meet with your
approval and support. All sober minded
men must unite In hoping that the Im
perial government, which ha In other
circumstance tood as th champion of
all that we are now contending for In the
Interest of humanity, may recognize the
Justice of our demand nd meet thorn
In th plrlt In which they are made."

great. surpile lo Ih financial district,
and romnil.ioii houses with wire con

Greatest excitement prevailed on th
exchange and trmny speculative holding

Increased when It hi-camo known that
the note to ficrlln wa already on th,i
way. This feeling was belgntened when

ultimatum to fterlln were published.
Decline were extended In nearly all
direction, the munition receding 4 to t
point from yesterday's close, Anglo

GENERAL SCOTT IS
SENT J BORDER
Chief of General Staff Will Make
Report on Conditions to War
Department,
FUNSTON IS STILL IN CHARGE
WASHINGTON, April 19. Major
General Hugh h. Scott, chief of
staff of the army, will go to San
Antonio, Tex., tonight by order of
Secretary Baker In order lo get ac
curate Information a to the situa
tion on the border and In Mexico,
Hecretary Baker issued this statement:
'General Hcott leave for Han Antonio
thla evening at 6,15 t my request. He.
will spend acvcnil dejs with Ijcneral
Funston and return. This trip Is made
solely for the purpose of getting a ac
curate Information s possible for the
nso of the department. General Funston
reinnln In full charge of the affairs of
his department. Including the expedition
Into Mexico, lie ha the full confidence
of the department and his disposition
have the department' entire approval,'
Hecretary iiskcr would not discuss Gen
eral Hcott mission beyond his foimal
statement, It was assumed, however,
that .ils report, after conference with
General Kunnton, will go far toward de
termining the course to be pursued In
Mexico.
It Is known that General Kunston ha
been urging the department llist n e
permitted to shift his headquarter and
the border base in order to shorten hi
line of communication. The department
ha not thu far approved the suggestion,
although the request was before the cb-,
inct yesterday. .
4110 department apparently ha hesi
tated to authorise any radical change In
the statu of tho expedition, In the face
of request from general Crrana that
the troop be recalled, believing it might
tend to Increase anti-American feeling
among Curranza garrUon.
I'ntll th German itutlon Is clearly
understood It Is Impossible to forecast
the administration s decision a to
Pershing expedition. Military observer
appear to agree that some radical mov
must be mado onn, either to back up
the oop In .Mexico or to withdraw
them.
It I believed that General Kunston
decision to placo additional troop at
General Pershing' disposal aroused tne
department to determine upon tho coiir
to pursue with as little delay a possible.
General Scott Is acquainted with Villa
I and with many ('grranxa officials and
with his knowledge of the border and ma
'oiifldi'iitlal information General Fuimton
csn supply, he will be able to advise iticc
rctary iiaker.
