AMERICA AND GERMANY.
"A RUPTURE INEVITABLE."
LONDON, April 4
The Daily Mail's correspondent «t New York says:—'"'lt is realised1 in Washington that it is the German intention to 'continue, the submarine warfare without restraint. Yon Tirpifc'z's resignation is regarded as evidence that Germany does not desiro to break with America. Whatever is the truth, the Government believes thaiTthe submarining of merchantmen will be prosecuted ruthlessly and indiscriminately, disregardful of assurances given. The Administration recognises that a rupture, is inevitable. It will come suddenly and dramatically—as- President Wilson's intimation of Count Bernstorff's dismissal. , President Wilson will show shortly a new characteristic of peremptory decisiveness. Only German abandonment of the submarining of merchantmen can divert a breach. There is no truth in the report that Washington might bo satisfied with the execution of an offending submarine commander. "The German press is arrogantly assorting that- President Wilson is responsible if Americans were lost through tho sinking of the' Sussex. Germany, the papers say, is.carrying out her declared official policy. America should warn her citizens not to travel by belligerent ships."
