GERMANY'S ACTS
TOWARD AMERICA
HELD UP TO LIGHT
Denied Us the Use of the Seas,
and Tried to Incite Nations
Against Us
FILLED LAND WITH SPIES
AND SPREAD SEDITION
Now Using Austria-Hungary,
But In the Outcome Plans
to Destroy Her
Washington, June 14. America, is at
war "in defense of our ritrhts as a free
Ppie ana or our honor as a sovereign
J mwnmmanl II
6. t
President Wilson this afternoon thus
stated why America is fighting in a
speech solemnly vibrant with warning
of the blood and suffering the country
must endure, but deep with the convic
tion that the nation fights for the right.
The president's address was a re-consecration
of Flag day. It was a speech
that stung in the bitterness of his ar
raignment of Germany not of the Ger-j
man people, but of Germany's autocrats.
He pictured Germany's "military mas-j
ters" in a sinister plot for years of in
cubation reaching out, corrupting, in
triguing, scheming to deceive their own
people and master the people and pow
er of other small nations "to throw a;
bread belt of German military power
and political control acrsis the very
center of Europe and beyonrl the Medi-,
terranean into the heart of Asia."-
The president named Austria-Hungary
as the dupe of Germany's "autocrats; ":
Bulgaria and Turney, tneir catspaws.
He earnestly inveighed any considera
tion of alleged German peace feelers
put out now by these who, having set
their not and reached the scnith of their
domination, now see their power slip
ping and their sinister plans about to
come to naught. iiicewise, ne oiueny
assailed German propagandists in the
United States who are seeking by in
sidious means to undermine the nation
here at home.
America, the president said, wars for
the first time across the seas because
the principles for which she now fights
are exactly those for which she has
waged every other victorious war in her
history and because she was forced to
fight "in defense of our rights as a free
people ana or our nonor as a suvuieigu
government."
"For ns there is but one choice," the
president solmcnly concluded.' We have
made it. Woe to the man or group of
men that seeks to stand in our way in
this day of high resolution when every
principle we hold dearest is to be vindi
cated and made secure for the salvation
of the nations. We are ready to plead
at the bar of history and our flag shall
wear a new lustre. Once more we shall
make good with our lives and fortunes
the great faith to which we were born
and a new glory shall shine in the face
of our people."
A Bitter Arraignment.
The president said:
My Fellow citizens: we meet to

silent, it sneaks to us speaks to us

it has witnessed a great history. It has

what purpose it is we seek to serve.
"It is plain enough how we were
forced into the war. The extraordin
ary insults and aggression of the Im
perial German government left us no
self respecting choice but to take up
arms in defense of our rights as a iree
people and of our honor as a sovereign
government. The military masters of
Germany denied us the right to be neu
tral. Ihey filled our unsuspecting com
munities with vicious spies and consip
rutors and sought to corrupt the opinion
of our people in their own behalf. When
they found they could not (Is that, their
agents diligently spread sedition

citizens from their allegiance and
some of these agents were men connect
ed with the official embassy of the
.German government itself in our own
capital. They Bought by violence to
destroy our industries and arrest, our
commerce. They tried to incite Mexico
to take up arms against us and to draw
Japan into a hostile alliance with her
and that not by indirection, but by
direct suggestion from the foreign of
fice in Berlin. They impudently denied
us the use of the high seas and repeat
edly exocuted their threats that they
would send to their death any of our
people who ventured to approach the
coasts of Europe. And-many of .our
own people were corrupted- Men began
to look upon their own neighbors with
suspicion and to wonder in their hot re
sentment and surprise - whether there
was any community iiv which hostile
Intrigue did not work. What great na
tion in such circumstances w.ould not
have taken up armsf Much as we de
sired peace, it was denied us and not of
our choice. This flag under which we
serve would have been dishonored had
we withheld ' our hand.
Not Enemy of German People.
"But that is only part of the story.
We know nir as clearly as we knew
before we were ourselves engaged that
we were not the enemies of the Ger
man people and that they are not our
enemies. They did not originate, or de
sire this hideous war or wish that we
should be drawn into it; and we are
vaguely conscious that wo are fighting
their cause as they will some time see,
as well as our own. They are themselves
in grip of the same sinister power
that has now at least stretched its ugly
talons out and drawn blood from us. The
whole world is at war . because the
whole world is in the grip of that power
and is trying out tho great battle which
shall determine whether it is to be
brought under its mastery or fling itself
free.
"Tho war was begun by the military
masters of Germany who proved to ih
also the masters of Austria-Hungary.

has seen.
