DEMANDS FULL REPARATION Ms Desire to Interfere With Internal Affairs of Central Nations, but Peace Cannot Be Made With Qermany's Present Rulere , j Declaration of War on Austria-Hungary. Washington, Dec. 4. President Wil ton 1n his messngo to congress today declared craphutlcally for a pcaco bas ed on generosity and Justice after Ger man autocracy "shall first bo shown the utter futility of Its claims to power or leadership in the modern world." Tho racssago follows: "Gentlemen of tho Congress Eight months have elapsed since I last had tho honor of addressing you. They hnvo been months crowded with events of Immense and grave significance for us. I shall undertako to detail or even to summarize these events. The prac tical particulars of the part we have flayed In them will be laid before you In tho reports of the executive depart ments. I shall discuss only our pres ent outlook upon these vast affairs, onr present duties, and the Immediate means of accomplishing tho objects we shall hold always In view. "I shall not go back to debate the causes of tho war. The Intolerable wrongs done and planned against us by the sinister masters of Germany have long since becomo too grossly obvious and odious to every true Amer ican to need to bo rehearsed. But I shall ask you to consider again and with a very grave scrutiny our objec tives and tho measures by which we mean to attain them; for tho purpose of discussion here In this place Is ac tion, and our action must movo straight towards definite ends. Must Win the War. "Our object Is, of course, to win tho war; and we shall not slacken or suf fer ourselves to be diverted until It Is won. But It Is worth while asking and answering the question: When shall we consider thcr war won? "From one point of view It Is not necessary to broach this fundamental mutter. I do not doubt that tho Amer ican peoplo know what the war Is about and what sort of an outcome they will regard as a realization of their purpose In It As a nation we are united In spirit and Intention. I pay llttlo heed to those who tell me otherwise. I hear the voices of dis sent who docs not? I hear the criti cism and the clnmour of the noisy, thoughtless and troublesome. I also see men here and there fling them selves In Impotent disloyalty against tho calm, Indomitable power of the na tion. I hear men debate peace who understand neither Its nature nor the way In which we obtain It with uplift ed eyes and unbroken spirits. But I known .that nono of these speaks for tho nation. They do not touch the heart of anything. They may safely be left to strut their uneasy hour and be forgotten. No Peace by Compromise. "But from another point of view I believe th'at It la necessary to say plainly what we hero at the scat of ac tion consider tho war to bo for and what part wo mean to play in tho set tlement of Its searching Issues. "Wo tiro the spokesmen of tho Amer ican people, and they havo n right to know whether their purpose Is ours. They desire peace by tho overcoming of evil, by the defeat onco for all of the sinister forces that Interrupt pcaco and rendor It Impossible, and they wish to know how closely our thought runs with theirs, and what ac tion wo propose. They are Impatient with thoso who dcslro peace by any aort of compromise deeply and Indig nantly Impatient but they will 1o equally Impatient with us If we do not make It plain to them what our ob jectives are and what we are planning tor In seeking to make conquest of peace by arms. Menace Must Be Crushed. "I believe that I speak for them When I say two things: First, that this Intolerable thing of which the masters of Germany finvo shown us tho ugly face, this menace of com bined Intrigue and force which we now ee so clearly as the German power, Thing without conscience or honor or capacity for covenauted peace, must be crushed and, if It Is not utterly brought to an end, at least shut out from the friendly Intercourse of tho nations; and, second, when this Thing ""and Its power aro Indeed defeated and tho time comes that we can discuss peace when tho German peoplo have spokesmen whose words wo can be jllevo and when thoso spokesmen arc ready In tho namo of their peoplo to accept tho common Judgment of tho nations as to what shall hence forth bo the bases of law nnil of cov enant for tho Hfo of tho world wo rdmll lie willing tuifl glnd to pay tho full price for ponco, and pny It un criiriKlnvly. We, know what that price will be. It will bo full, Impartial Jus tice Justice done at every point and to every nation that tho final settle ment must nffect, our enemies as well ns our friends. Final and Convincing Lesson. "You catch with me, tho voices of humanity that aro In tho air. They grow dally more nudlble, more articu late, more persuasive, and they come from tho hearts of .men everywhere. They Insist that the war shall not end In vindictive action of any kind ; that no nation or people shall be robbed or punished because the Irresponsible rulers of a single country have them selves done deep and damnable wrong. It is this thought that has been ex pressed In the formula 'No annexa tions, no contributions, no punitive In demnities.' Just because this crude formula expresses the Instinctive Judg ment as to right of plain men every where, It has been made diligent use of by the masters of German Intrigue to lead the people of Russia astray and the people of every country their agents could reach, In order that n premature peace might be brought about before autocracy has been taught Its final and convincing lesson, and the people of tho world put In control of their own destinies." Right as the Arbiter. "But the fact that a wrong use has been made of n Just Idea Is no reason why a right use should not be made of It. It ought to be brought under the patronage of Its real friends. Let It be Raid again that autocracy must first be shown the utter futility of its claims to power or leadership In the modern world. It Is Impossible to apply any standard, of Justice so long ns such forces are unchecked and undefented as tho present masters of Germany command. Not until this has been done can Right bo set up as arbiter nnd peacemaker among tho nations. But when that hns been done as, God willing, It assuredly will be we shall at last be free to do an unprecedented thing, nnd this the time to avow our purpose to do It. We shall bo free to base peace on generosity nnd Justice, to tho exclusion of all selfish claims to advantage even on the part of the vic tors. To Win War Our Present Task. "Let there be no misunderstanding. Our present and Immedlnto task Is to win the war, and nothing shall turn us aside from It until It Is accomplished. Every power and resource we possess, whether of men, of money, or of ma terials, Is being devoted and will con tinue to bo devoted to that purpose until It Is achieved. Those who de sire to bring pence about before that purpose Is achieved I counsel to carry their ndvlco elsewhere. We will not entertain It. We shall regard the war as won only when tho German people say to us, through properly accredited representatives, that they are ready to agree to a settlement based upon Jus tice and tho reparation of tho wrongs their rulers havo done. They hnvc dono a wrong to Belgium which must be repaired. They have established n power over other lands and people than their own over tho great empire of Austria-Hungary, other hitherto free Balkan states, over Turkey, and within Asia which must be relinquished. Must End Qerman Autocracy. "Germany's success by skill, by In dustry, by knowledge, by enterprise, we did not grudge or oppose, but ad mired, rather. Sho had built up for herself a real empire of trade and In fluence, secured by tho peace of the world. We were content to abide the rlvnlrlcs of manufacture, science and commerce that were Involved for us In her success and stand or fall ns we had or did not have the brains nnd the Initiative to surpass her. But at the moment when she had conspicuously won her triumphs of peace she threw them away, to establish In their stend whnt the world will no longer permit to be established, military and pollticnl domlnntlon by arms, by which to oust where she could, not excel the rivals she most feared and hntcd. Tho peace wo make must remedy that wrong. It must deliver the onco fair lands and happy peoples of Belgium and north ern France from tho Prussian conquest and the Prussian menace but It must also deliver the peoples of Austria Hungary, tho peoples of tho Balkans, and tho peoples of Turkey, alike In Europo nnd In Asia, from the Impudent nnd alien dominion of tho Prusslnn mllltnry nnd commerclnl nutocracy. To Mnnage Their Own Affairs. "We owe It, however, to ourselves to sny that wo do not wish In any way to Impair or to re-arrnnge tho Austro Hungnrlnn empire. It Is no nffnlr of ours what they do with their own life, either Industrially or politically. We do not purpose or desire to dlctnto to them In any wny. We only dcslro to see that their affairs aro left In their own hnnds, In all matters, great or small. We shall hope to secure for the peoples of tho Balkan penlnsuln and for the people of tho Turkish empire tho right nnd opportunity to make their own lives safe; their own for tunes secure against oppression or In justice and free from tho dictation of foreign courts or parties. "And our attitude nnd purpose with regard to Germany herself are of a like kind. Wo Intend no wrong against tho German empire; no Interference with her Internal nffnlrs. We should deem either tho one or the other ab solutely unjustifiable, absolutely con trary to the principles wo hnvo pro fessed to live by nnd to hold most snored throughout our Ufo ns a nation.- Qerman People Deceived. "Tho people of Germany nro being told by the men whom they now per mit to deceive them and to net as their masters that they nre fighting for the very' Ufo and existence of their em pire; a wnr of desperate self-defense against deliberate aggression. Nothing could bo more grossly or wantonly false, and wi must seek by the ut most openness and candor ns to our real alms to convince them of Its false ness. Wo nro In fnct fighting for their emancipation from fenr, ulong with our own from tho fenr as well as from the fnct of unjust attack by neighbors or rivals or 'schemers nftcr world empire. No one Is threaten ing the existence of or .tho Indepen dence or the penccful enterprise of th German empire. Not Again to Be Trusted. "The worst that con happen to the German people Is this, that if they, .should still, after the wnr Is over, continue to be obligated to live under ambitious and Intriguing masters In terested to disturb the peace of tho world, men or classes of men whom the other peoples of tho world could not trust, It might bo Impossible to ndinlt them to the partnership of nations, which must henceforth guarantee the world's peace. That partnership must he n partnership of peoples, not n mere partnership of governments. It might he Impossible, also, In such untoward circumstances, to admit Germany to the free economic Intercourse which must Inevitably spring out of the other partnerships of a real pence. But there would be no aggression In that; and such n situation, Inevitable be cause of distrust, would in the very nature of things sooner or later cure Itself, by proresscs which would ns suredly set In. Wrongs Must Be Righted. 5 "The wrongs, the very deep wrongs, committed In this wnr will have to be righted. That of course. But they cannot and must not be righted by the commission of similar wrongs against Germany and her allies. "The world will not permit tho com mission of similar wrongs as a means of reparation and settlement. States men must by this time have learned thnt the opinion of the world Is every where wide awake and fully compre hends the Issues Involved. No repre sentative of any self-governed nntlon will dare disregard It by attempting nny such covennnts of selfishness and compromise as were entered Into at the congress of Vienna. The thought of the plain people here nnd everywhere throughout the world, tho people wlu enjoy no privilege nnd hnvo very sim ple and unsophisticated standards of right and wrong, is the air all govern ments must henceforth breathe If they would live. It Is In the full disclos ing light of thnt thought that all poli cies must bo conceived and executed In this mid-day hour of tho world's life. People Have No Say. "German rulers hnvo been nble to up set the peace of the world only because the Germnn people were not suffered under their tutelage to share tho com radeship of the other peoples of the world cither In thought or In purpose. They were nllowcd to have no opinion of their own which might be set up ns n rule of conduct for those who exer cised authority over them. But the congress that concludes this war will feel the full strength of the tides thnt run now In the hearts and consciences of freedom everywhere. Its conclu sions will run with these tides. "All theso things have been true from the very beginning of this stu pendous war; and I cannot help think ing thnt If they had been made plain nt tho very outset the sympathy and enthusiasm of the Russian people might have been onco- for all enlisted on the side of tho allies, suspicion and distrust swept nwny, and n real nnd lasting union of purpose effected. Had they believed these things nt the very moment of their revolution and had they been confirmed In thnt belief since, the and reverses which have re cently marked the progress of their affairs towards an ordered nnd stable government of freemen might have been nvoided. "Tho Russian people hnvo been poisoned by tho very snmo falsehoods that havo kept the Germnn people In the dnrk, nnd the poison has been ad ministered by the very snmo hnnds. The only possible antidote Is the truth. It cannot be uttered too plainly or too often. Freedom of the Seas. "From every point of view, there fore, It hns seemed to bo my duty to speak these Ueclnratlons of purpose, to ndd these specific Interpretations to whnt I took the liberty of snyln'g to the sennto In January. Our entrance Into the wnr has not altered our nttltude towards the settlement that must come when It Is over. When I said in Jnnu nry thnt the nntlons of tho world were entitled not only to free pathways up on tho sen but'nlso to assured and un molested nccess to those pnthways I was thinking, nnd I nm thinking now, not of tho smaller nnd weaker nations nlnne, which need our countenance nnd support, hut also of the great and pow erful nations, and of our present ene mies as well as our present associates In the wnr. I was thinking, and nm thinking now, of Austrln herself, among the rest, ns well as of Serbia nnd of Holnnd. Justice nnd equality of rights can be had only nt a great price. We aro Reeking permanent, not temporary, foundations for the peace of the world nnd must seek this can didly and fearlessly. As always, the right will prove to bo expedient. Declare War on Austria. "Whnt shnll we do, then, to push this great wnr, of freedom nnd Just to Its righteous conclusion? We must clear nway with u thorough hnnd nil Impediments to success nnd wo must mnko every adjustment of law tlmt will facilitate the full and frco uso of nur whole capacity and force as a fighting unit. "One very embnrrnsslng obstacle that stands in our wny Is that we nre t war with Germany hut not with her allies. I, therefore, very earnestly rec- -n.u.iil At.. ,1m aahkhiii. I nmiAil I t t ill . IIMlllllt'llll HUH 1(115 UIIIKII'W IIMIlll-lllllll-1,1 declare tho United States In a state of tr with Austrln Hungary- es It eem strange to you that ti3 should he the conclusion of the argument I have Just uddrcssed to you? It Is not. It Is In fact the Inevitable logic of whut I have said. Austria-Hungary Is for tho tlmo being not her own mis tress, but simply the vassal of the German government. We must face tho facts as they are and act upon them without sentiment In this stern business. The government of Austria Hungary Is not acting upon Its own Initiative or in response to the wishes nnd feelings of its own peoples, but ns the Instrument of another nntlon. We must meet Its force with our own nnd regard the central powers as but one. The war can be successfully conducted In no other wny. As to Turkey and Bulgaria. "The same logic would lead also to n declaration of war ngalnst Turkey nnd Bulgaria. They also are the tools of Germany. But they nre mere tools and do not yet stand In the direct path of our necessary action. We shnll go wherever the necessities of this wnr carry us, but It seems to me that we should go only where Immedlnto nnd practical considerations land us and not heed nny others. "The financial nnd mllltnry meas ures which must be adopted will sug gest themselves ns the wnr and Its un dertakings develop, but I will take the liberty of proposing to you certain other nets of legislation which seem to me to be needed for the support of the war and for the release of our whole force nnd energy. "It will bo nccessnry to extend In certain particulars tho legislation of tho last session with regard to alien enemies; nnd also nccessnry, I be lieve, to create n very definite nnd particular control over the entrance and departure of nil persons Into nnd from the United States. "Legislation should be enncted de fining us a criminal offense every willful violation of tho presidential proclama tions relating to nllen enemies promul gated under section 4007 of the Re vised Statutes nnd providing npproprl ate punishments: nnd women ns well as men, should be Included under the terms of the acts placing restraints upon nllen enemies. It Is likely that as time goes on many nllen enemies will be willing to be fed nnd housed nt the expense of tho government In the detention camps, and It would be the purpose of legislation I have sug gested to confine offenders nmong them In penitentiaries nnd other sim ilar Institutions where they could be mnde to work as other crlmlnnls do" Go Further In Fixing Prices. "Recent experience has convinced me thnt the congress must go further In authorizing the government to set limits to prices. Tho law of supply nnd demand, I nm sorry to sny, has been replaced by the Inw of unrestrain ed selfishness. While wo have elim inated profiteering In several branches of Industry, It still runs Impudently rampant In others. The farmers, for example, complain with a great deal of Justice, that while tho regulation of food prices restricts their Incomes, no restraints nro placed upon the prices of most of the things they must them selves purchase, nnd similar Iniquities obtain on nil sides. "It Is Imperatively necessary that "the consideration of the full use of the water power of the country nnd also tho consideration of the systematic and yet economical development of such of the natural resources of the country ns nre still under the control of the federal government should be Immediately resumed and affirmatively and constructively dealt with nt the earliest possible moment. The press ing need of such legislation Is dally be coming more obvious. A Word to the Lawmakers. "The legislation proposed nt the InRt session with regard to regulated com binations among our exporters, In or der to provide for our foreign trade n more effective 'organization nnd meth od of co-operation, ought by nil means to bo completed nt this session. "And I beg thnt tho members of tho house of representatives will permit me to express the opinion that It will bo Impossible to deal In nny but n very wasteful nnd extravagant fashion with the enormous npproprlntlons of the public moneys which must continue to bo mnde, If the war Is to bo properly sustained, unless tho house will con sent to return to Its former practice of Initiating nnd propnrlng nil nppro prlntlon bills through n single commit tee, In order thnt responsibility mny be centered, expenditures standardized nnd mndo uniform and waste and du plication ns much ns possible avoided. "Additional legislation may also be come necessary before the present con gress again adjourns In order to effect the most efficient co-ordlnntlon nnd op eration of the rallwny and other trans portation systems of tho country; hut to thnt I shall, If circumstances should demnnd, cnll the nttenttnn of tho con gress upon another occasion. Concentrate on Winning War. "If I have overlooked anything thnt ought to be dono for the more effective conduct of tho war, your own counsels will supply tho omission. Whnt I am perfectly clear about Is that In the present session of tho congress our "whole nttentloh nnd energy should he concentrated on the vigorous, rapid nnd successful prosecution of the great task of winning the wnr. "We enn do this with nil tho greater zeal and enthusiasm because wo know that for us this as a war of high prin ciple, dehnsed by no selfish nmhltlnn of conquest or spoliation; hecauso we know, nnd all tho world knows, tha' wo have been forced Into It to save the very Institutions we live under from corruption nnd destruction. The pur poses of the cen'ral powers strike straight nt tho very heart of rvery thing we believe In; their methoiN or wurfaro outrage every principle of hu manity and of knightly honor; their Intrigue has corrupted tho very thought nnd spirit of many of our people ; their sinister nnd secret diplo macy has sought to take our very ter ritory nwny from us nnd disrupt the union of the states. Our safety would be rif an end, our honor forever sullied nnd brought Into contempt were wo to permit their triumph. They are strik ing nt the very existence of democracy and liberty. Cause Is Just and Holy. "It Is becnuso It Is for us a wnr of high, disinterested purpose, In which nil the frco peoples of the world nre banded together for the vindication of right, n wnr for the preservation of our nation, and of all that It has held dear of principle and of purpose, thnt we felt ourselves doubly constrained to purpose for Us outcome only that which Is righteous and of Irreproach able Intention, for our foes as veil as for our friends. Tho cause being Just nnd holy, tho settlement must be of like motive nnd quality. For this we can fight, but for nothing less noblo or less worthy of our traditions. For. this cause 'we entered the wnr nnd for this cause will we battle until the laBt gun Is fired. "I hnvo spoken plainly, because this seems to me tho time when It Is most nccessnry to spenk plainly, In order thnt nil the world may know that even In tho heat nnd ardor of tho struggle nnd when our whole thought Is of cnrrylng the war through to Its end we hnvc not forgotten nny ideal or principle for which tho name of Amer len has been held In honor nmong tho nations nnd for which It hns been our glory to contend In the grout genera tions thnt went before us. A supremo moment of history has come. Tho eyes of the people have been opened, nnd they .see. The hnnd of God Is laid upon tho nntlons. He will show them favor, I devoutly believe, only If they rise to the clear heights of his own Justice nnd mercy." PARSIMONY IS NOT ECONOMY Many People Able to Buy What They Want Use Situation as Excuce for Going Without. 0 It Is n curious nnd mortifying con dition of tho prevailing "economy" thnt ninny people nbundnntly nble to buy whnt they want use the situation ns nn excuse for going without. Whnt does this profit them? It merely mnkes them richer at a time when the talk Is of being poorer, says the Hartford Cournr.t. Food Is one thing nnd clothes and other articles thnt shoppers buy nre In n distinctly other class. When Smith cut down tho sugnr, there Is more sugar for Jones, nnd the supply of sugnr Is limited. But when Mrs. Smith goes without a clonk for which she can easily pay and which she expected to buy this senson, she Is not helping Mrs. Jones to get It; she Is pimply ralserlng along In her own wny, and to her small nblllty driv ing poor people out of work nnd dis couraging merchants whose capital Is Invested. This Isn't economy, It Is par simony. . If everybody should quit making purchases, what would become of manufacturers or dealers and of tho larger number of workers? It Is a good time to keep n level head. Many who watch the tendency of business say frankly that people of limited means are less saving than those who can well afford to get what they want. The Mystery Explained. Clifton Hess, nn employee of the Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyvlllc, Ind., relates the Indianapolis News, looked out the window of the freight depot the other day nnd noticed a woman. A half hour later he looked again nnd still saw the woman. Sho had changed her position only slightly, moving down tho railroad track a few feet. She seemed to be strolling leis urely along, covering nbout a foot minute. Curious to determine the reason for her actions, Hess walked outsldo to get n better"" view. Then It was nil explnlncd. The woman had a big Rhode Island Red rooster with a string tied to his leg. There hnd evidently been n lenky car of wheat nlong the rnllrond, nnd tho rooster, ob-llvlous-to rill else, wns calmly filling his crnw while the woman kept up with tho procession. Later on during tho day tho good news must hnve spread, for there ap peared on the scene Beveral other chickens with owners attached to them by strings. As the ground be came clean tho procession slowlj moved from view. Cantonment It Is Fnld that the reason why sev eral high officials of the United States government continue to pronounce It "enntone-ment" Is because they got started that way and are now unable to stop. The president, however, says "can-t'n-m'nt," with the accent on tho first syllrihle. .-It is worthy of men tion that Professor nunt of Princeton puts It "con-tonn-ment," with the ac cent on the second syllable, thus dis agreeing with a former head of that Institution, nnd that while tho presl dent has tho latest revisions of the Century, Webster's, Worcester's, and the Standard dictionaries on his side. Doctor Hunt Is backed by Sir James A. M. Murray's new English nnd Stnr month's dictionaries. It Is estlmnted that W) per cent of tho United.
