Washington, D. C., Feb. 3, 3:30 p. m.—Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States,
has been given his passports, and Ambassador Gerard, American Minister to Germany, has been recalled.
This was announced by President Wilson this afternoon when he addressed a joint session of Congress.
The chamber and galleries were crowded, and it was an impressive scene. President Wilson reviewed
the efforts of this country to avoid becoming involved in the European war, and in explaining the severing
of diplomatic relations with Germany said that he felt no other course could be pursued by the United Sta
tes in view of what this country has been contending for.
BRYAN S VIEW
New York. Feb. 2.—William J. Bryan declared at a
meeting in Madison Squar Garden here tonight that it
would be a crime against the nation and the warld if the
United States enters the war. He highly praised Pres
ident Wilson's efforts in behalf of peace and asserted that

the president’s recent address to the U. S. senate had plac
ed him among the nation’s immortals. No nation has
challenged the United States. Mr. Bryan declared.
Washington, Feb. 2.—Administration officials are grati
fied and surprised at what they 'interpret as practically a
unanimous opinion of the t >untry concerning Germany's
submarine warfare declaration. Not only near'y all of
the large metropolitan newspapers reaching the state de
partment. but also the small c um ry papers, are declared
to ac -f p; as a basic principle th- l lei that America’s in
terest ai d honor have been auia kt i.
th:e official said today that thus viewpoint which had
been awaited before any announcement, would have a
great effect on the formation of a decision.
The department is known to feel that while the Ger
man announcement justifies any action that may be deem
ed best, the administration could not outdo public opnion.
European sailings of ships flying the American flag should
be postponed, according to the opinion of the state depart
ment.
Sc cret a ry La n sing,
in annoimeeing that a message to
this effect had been sent to the International Mercantile
Marine, in regard to the sailing of American vessels for
England tomorrow, was empnauc m saying no orders had
been given that it would be wiser to await decision of the
countrv in the broader issue of the eontroversv with Ger
many.
Berlin, Feb. 2.—The attitude of the German people in
lespect to the new submarine policy so far as ascertained
today, from conversation.^ with persons in various walks
of life, in and out of politics, is that the inauguration of an
unrestricted submarine campaign is indicative of stern
necessity and for self-preservation, and that in such a life
and death struggle, no regard can longer be paid to other
conditions.

Peace idea.
“I had prepared this address,” he said, “before Germany
startled thjs country and other neutrals by her note. The
dangers which it brings us to face may seem to make what
I have been discussing theoretical and inapporiate. The
truth is, however, that this great crisis only emphasizes
the importance of the league in the future history of this
country.
“Of all things we should avoid war, We are not pre
pared for it. Its awful consequences we know from the
sufferings of Europe. Our prayer is for some escape
from it in t his critical hour, if consistent v ith our national
honor. But w e must face the facts.’
