Mrs. Kennedy At Gray's Department Store N JS & •.« -hi' President Wllaon told congress as sembled in joint session, shortly after 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, he had given Germany irrevocable notifi cation that the United States will break off diplomatic relations if Ger many's illegal submarine campaign is continued. The note, America's laBt word, and practically an ultimatum, demanding an Immediate reply was presumably in the Berlin foreign office as the presi dent iwas speaking. It was dispatched Tuesday night in accordance with Wil son's plans to have it before the German government at the same mo ment he was addressing the American congress. Wilson asked no action whatever of congress. He simply informed it of an accumulation of facts proving that Germany's assurances to the United States were being violated and that the submarine campaign, despite the earnest protests of the United States, was being conducted with renewed vigor in contravention of all laws of nations and humanity, and that he means to sever relations unless it is brought within the law. The diplomatic history of the world shows that such a course is almost certain to be followed by war. The president's note, and his address to congress are final.' They mark the end of diplomatic exchanges. A con tinuance of the long standing friendly relations, the president made clear, de pends alone upon Germany's conduct.

Lee Combs, alderman from the Third ward, was the only one to retire. His place will be taken by Oscar Al dahl, the alderman-elect. The business transacted was mostly routine, and the slate was cleaned up so that the new administration could have a clear track ahead. The only business of special importance was the decision to advertise for bids for fur jnishing new pumps for the pumping station. The bids call for pumps of the best and latest design, and will be both reliable and efficient. The new regime will take hold when the assembly is called to order tonight.
