Declaration of War on Austria-Hungary.

wil l be . I t will be full . Impart ial jus­t ice—justice done at every point and to every nation that the f inal set t le­ment lmist affect , our enemies as well ns our fr iends.

Final ^nd Convincing Lesson. "You cut eh with we, the voices of

humanity that are in the air . They "row daily more audible, more art icu­late, more persuasive, and they come from the hearts of men everywhere. Tliey Insist that the war shall not end in vindict ive action of any kind ; that -no nation or people shall he robbed or punished because the irresponsible rulers of a single country have them­selves done deep and damnable wrong. ' I t is this thought that has been ex-. pressed in the formula 'No nnnexn-. t ions. no contributions, no punit ive in­demnities. ' Just because this crude formula expresses the inst inctive Judg­ment as to r ight of phi In men every­where, i t has been made dil igent use of by the masters of ( iermati intr igue i which must heneeforth .guarantee the to lead the people of Kussia nsiruy— j world 's peace. -That partnership must and the people of every country their 1 be a partnership of j ieoples. not a mere

false, and we must seelc l iy the ut-mp?t openaes? Mid^-caudor us to our real alms to copyjnce them of i ts false­ness. We $re lg fact l ighting for their emanclpattaj i tipm fear, along with bus own-ffQfp. |hu fear as well as frqgt tt^Q #a«t unjust at tack by nelgfyhgr§ or r ivals or schemers after worl<J empire, No one is threaten­ing the .existence of or the i i idepeii-^nge or the peaceful enterprise of th German empire.

Not Again to Be Trusted. "The worst that can happen to the

German people is this , that if they should st i l l , af ter the war Is over, continue to be obligated Ao l ive under ambit ious and intr iguing masters in­terested to disturb the peace of the world, men or classes of men whom the other peoples of the world eoutd not t rust , I t ruight be impossible to admit them to the partnership of nations

agents could reach, in order that a premature peace might be brought about before autocracy has been taught: i ts f inal and convincing lesson, and the people of the world put in control of their own destinies." - ^ ^ ^ :

Right as the Arbiter . "Rut the fact that a wrong use has

been made of a just idea is no reason why a r ight use should not be made oT i t . I t ought to be l irought under the

j patronage of i ts real fr iends, l .et i t be : said again that autocracy must f irst be

shown the utter futi l i ty of i ts claims to j power or leadership in the modern • world. I t is impossible to apply any

standard of just ice so long as such | forces are unchecked and undefeated i as the present masters of Germany j command. Not unti l this has been

done era Il lght be set t in as arbiter

Washington, Dec. 4.—President Wil­son in his message to congress today declared emphatically for a peace bas­ed ou generosity and just ice after Ger­man autocracy "shall f irst be shown the utter futi l i ty of i ts claims to power or leadership In t i le modern world."

The message follows: -"Gentlemen of the Coii 'gress—liight

months have elapsed since I last had the honor of addressing you. They have been months crowded with events of immense and grave significance fot us. 1 shall undertake to detai l or even to summari ,e these events. The pri ic- j „m l p ( , , , ( J n l i l i- r r i W U ,n s ( h ( ;

t leal part iculars ot the part we have | }• played in them will be laid before you I ' .n the reports of the executive depart- I meats. I shall discuss only our pres- j eni outl .ok upon these vast affairs , ' our present duties, and the i iamediatj . means of accomplishing the objects :

we shall hold always in view. j " I i 'Ui-11 I ' . j i go back to debate tht

caution of the war. The intolerable wrongs done and planned against us bv the sinister masters of Germans have long since become too grossly obvious and odious to every true Amur, i . ' - ju to need lo be rehearsed. Hut I shall ask you to consider again and with a very grave scrutiny our objec. t ives and the measures by which wu l i- i .un to at tain them; for the purposa of discussion here in this place is ac-ti< i , and our action must movij Straight towards definite ends.

Must Win the War. "Our object: is , of course, to win ths

war; and we shall not s lacken or suf­fer ourselves to be diverted unti l i t is won. But: i t is worth while asking and answering the question: When shall we consider the war w<m?

"From one point of view i t is not necessary to broach t b1 s fumlamentu! (natter . I do not doubt Hut I the Amer­ican people know what ' the war i i about i i i id what sort of an outcome they will regard as a realisat ion ot their purpose in I t . As a nation we isre united in spir i t and intention. I pay l i t t le heed to those who tel l me-otl ierwi.se. I hear the voices of dis sent—wliu dues not? I hear the cri t i­cism and the clamour of the noisy. thoughtless and troublesome. 1 also see men here and there I ' ing them­selves in impotent disloyally against the calm, indomitable power of the nil-

partnership of governments. I t might be Impossible, also, In such untoward clrcumsiancps, to admit Germany to t i le free economic intercourse which must inevitably spring out of the other partnerships of a real peace. Hut there would be no aggression in that; and such a si tuation, inevitable be­cause of distrust , would in the very nature of things sooner or later cure i tself , by processes which would as­suredly set in.

Wrongs Must Be Righted. "The wrongs, the very deep wrongs,

commuted % thisivi l l have lotr l ie r ighted. That of course, l int they cannot and must not be r ighted by the commission of s imilar wrongs against Germany and her al l ies.

"The world wil l not permit the coin-mission of.similar wrongs as a means

winr with Austria-Hungary. Does !t seem strange to you that this should he the conclusion of the argument I have just addressed to you? I t is not . It is in fact the inevitable logic of what I have said. Austria-Hungary Is for the time being not her own mis­tress. but simply the vassal of the German government. We must face the facts as t l iey are and act upon them without sentiment in this stern business. The government of Austria-Hungary is not act ing upon i ts own init iat ive or in response to the wishes and feelings of i ts own jieoples, but as the instrument of another nation. We mast meet i ts force with our own and regard the central powers as but one. The war can he successfully conducted iu 110 other way. 8|gg»

As to Turkey and Bulgaria.?J§f! "The same logic would lead also to

a declarat ion of war against Turkey and Bulgaria. The.v also are the tools of Germany. But they are mere tools and do not yet s tand iu the direct path of our necessary action. We shall go wherever the necessi t ies of this war carry us. but I t seems to me that we should go only where Immediate and practical considerations land us and not heed on.v others.

"The financial and mili tary meas­ures which must be adopted will sug­gest themselves as the war and Its un­dertakings develop, but I will take the l iberty of proposing to you certain other acts of legislat ion which seem to me to be needed for the support of the war and for the release of our whole force und energy.

"I t wil l be necessary to extend In certain part iculars the legislat ion of the last session with regard to al ien enemies; and also necessary, I be­l ieve, to create a , very definite and part icular control over 1he entrance and departure of al l persons into and from the United States.

"Legislat ion should be enacted de­fining as a criminal offense every willful violat ion of the presidential proclama­tions relat ing to al ien enemies promul­gated under section 4007 of the Ile-vised Statutes aud providing appropri­ate punishments; and women as well as men, should be Included under the terms of the acts placing restraints upon alien enemies. I t is l ikely that as t ime goes 011 many alien enemies will be wil l ing to be fed and housed aJ the expense of the government in the detention camps, and i t would he * he purpose of legislat ion I have sug­gested to confine offenders among ll ieni in penitentiaries and other sim­i lar inst i tut ions where t l iey could be made to work as other criminals do.

Go Further In Fixing Prices. "I tecenl experience has convinced

me that the congress must go further in authorizing the government to set l imits to prices. The law of supply aud demand, I am sorry to say. has been replaced by the law of unrestrain­ed self!-hn. 'ss . While we have elim­inated profi teering 111 several branches of industry. I t s t i l l runs Impudently rampant iu others. Tin* farmers, for Example, complain with a great deal of just ice. 1h.1t while the regulat ion of ! i». i l prices restr icts their Incomes, 110 restraints are placed upon the prl ieos of most of the things the.v must them­selves purchase, uml similar i i ibi ' . i i ' ies obtain on al l s ides.

"I t Is Imperatively necessary that the consideration of the full use of t .h»

inanity and of knightly honor; their Intr igue has corrupted the very thought and spiri t of many of our people; their s inister and secret diplo­macy has sought to take our very ter­r i tory away from us and disrupt the union of the states. Our safety would be at an end, our honor forever sull ied when o

Cause Is Just and Holy. "I t is because i t is for us a war of

high, disinterested purpose, in which al l the free peoples of the world are banded together for the vindication of r ight , a war for the preservation of our nation, and of al l that i t has held dear of principle and of purpose, that we-K; fel t ourselves doubly constrained to,- : purpose for I ts outcome only that , which Is r ighteous and of irreproach- j |h , | ( ) I

can fight , but for nothing less .noble Cramer slarled work this morn in or less worthy of our tradit ions. For this cause we entered the war and for this cause will we batt le unti l the last gun is f ired.

"I have spoken plainly, because this seems to me the t ime when i t is most necessary to speak plainly, in order that al l the world may know that even In the heat and ardor of the struggle and when our whole thought Is of carrying the war through to i ts end we have not forgotten any ideal or principle for which the name of Amer­ica has been held in honor among the nations and for which i t has been our glory to contend In the great genera­t ions that went before us. A supreme moment of history has come. The eyes of the people have been opened, and they see. The baud of God is laid upon the nations. He will show them favor, I devoutly believe, only If t l iev r ise to the clear heights of his own just ice and mercy."

the ( iermon empire; 110 Interference with her internal affairs . We should deem either the one or the oil ier ah-j solutely unjustif iable, absolutely con-j t rary. to the principles we have pro- | fessed to l ive by and to hold most | sacred throughout our l ife us 'a rin- | tlon. j

German , People Deceived. "The people of Germany are being

told by the men whom they now per­mit to deceive them and to act as their masters that they are fighting for the very l ife and existence of their etn-

t l ie consideration of the systematic and yet economical development of such of the natural resources of the country as are st i l l under the control of the federal government should l ie f tpnuediately resumed and atl ir i i ial ively alnd constructively dealt with at the earl iest possible moment. The press­ing need of such legislat ion Is dully be-ieonting more obvious.

A Word to the Lawmakers. "The legislat ion proposed at the last

session with regard to regulated com­binations umong our exporters, in or­der to provide for our foreign trade a more effective organization and metl i-•od of co-operation, ought by al l means to be completed at this session.

"And I beg that the members of the "house of representat ives will permit me to express the opinion that i t wil l l ie impossible to deal in any but a very wasteful and extravagant fashion with 1 he enormous appropriat ions of the public moneys which must continue to be made, if the war Is to he properly s u s t a i n e d , u n l e s s t h e h o u s e w i l l c o n ­

sent to return to I ts former practice of ini t iat ing and preparing ail appro­priat ion bil ls through a single commit­tee, in order th«t responsibil i ty may be centered, expenditures standardize,! and made uniform and waste and du­plication as much as possible avoided. ' "Addit ional legislat ion may also be­come necessary before the present con­gress again adjourns In order to effect the most efficient co-ordination and op­erat ion of the rai lway and other trans­portat ion systems of Hie country: but to that I shall , i f circumstances should demand, call the at tention of the con­gress upon another occasion.

Concentrate on Winning War. "If I have overlooked anything that ,

ought to be done for the more effective conduct of the war, your own counsels wil l supply the omlsslou. What I am perfectly clear about Is that In the present session of the congress our whole at tention and energy should he concent rated on the vigorous, rapid and successful prosecution of the great task of winning the war.

"We can do this with al l the greater zeal and enthusiasm because we know-that for us this as n war of high prin­ciple, debased by no self ish ambit ion o f c o n q u e s t o r s p o l i a t i o n ; b e c a u s e w e
