WILSON AND THE WAR
1917 Feb. 3 President Wilson
broke off diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany on her
renewal of ruthless sub-
marining. .
April 2 read hij war mes-
sage to congress.

senate his 14 points.

S ho st mid at the clerk's desk in
the hall of tho house of repre
sentatives on the evening of April 2
1917 President WUfoii was the qentral
figure in one of the great moments of
world history. Not only hl own people
hut mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been re-eleted
only Ave months before because "he
kept us out of the war." Alas
war would not keep out of the Or t'-l
States.
The war took on new fury with tho
resumption of ruthless submarining;
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passport and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The filibustering sen-
ate failing to give him this authority.
Tie proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping .-wished from the sea with
its hidden terror and at last he called
tho newly elected congress in extraor-
dinary session to "receive a communi-
cation concerning grave matters of
national policy."
No other president in the wholo
course of hite service has had to ranko
so many momentous decisions n3
