MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
: (Received April 20, 3.30 p.m.) WASHINOIK>N, April 19. President Wilson, , m his message to Congress, recited how the United States had continually protested against German outrages, how patiently each fresh outrage was received, how all the rules of humanity liaH been violated, how Americans had been murdered indiscriminately, how no disavowals on the part, of the German Government were of any use. Proceeding, Mi' Wilson says: "1 havo deemed it my duty to say to the Imperial German Government that if it is still its pui-Dose to prosecute a relentless and indiscriminate war tho Government of the United States is forced to the conclusion- that 'there' is but one, course it can pursue, and that unless the Imperial German Government should now immediately declare and effect tlie abandonment of its present methods of warfare against passenger and freight carrying vessels this Government will have no choice, but to sever diplomatic relations altogether." The press generally approves of , the tone of the Note. The idea of war is not, however, welcomed. \
