DEMANDS FULL REPARATION
Ms Desire to Interfere With Internal

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. State?
