United States Government . so far as possible without borrowing and on the basis of equitable taxation. All preparation, the President urged, should be made In such way as not to check the flow of war supplies to the nations already in the field against Germany. " .. Departments "Well Prepared. Measures to accomplish all these ends, the President told Congress, would be presented with the best thought of the executive departments which will be charged with the conduct of the war, and he besought considera tion of them in that light. Referring only briefly to the long diplomatic correspondence with Ger many in his effort to bring her back to the bounds of the laws of humanity and nations, the President launched into his denunciation of the course of the German government, which, he de clared, had forced the United States to become a belligerent. Wrongs Not Common Wrongs. "The wrongs against which we now arm ourselves," be said, "are no com mon wrongs. They cut to the very roots of human life." Disclaiming any quarrel with the German people and anything but a feel ing of friendship and sympathy for them, the President declared their gov ernment had not acted upon their im pulses in entering the war nor with their previous knowledge or approval. "It was a war," he said, "determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fel low men as pawns and tools." German Plots Bared. In scathing terms the President re ferred to German plots against the United States. "One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian autoc racy was not and never could be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled our unsus pecting communities and even our of fices of government with spies and set criminal intrigues everywhere afoot against our National unity of council, our peace within and without, our in dustries and our commerce." It was evident, the President added, that the spies were here even before the war began. That the German gov ernment means to stir up enemies at the very doors of the United States was eloquently proved, he said, by the revelations of the plot to embroil Ja pan and Mexico in war with the United States. German Challenge Accepted. "We are accepting this challenge -of the hostile purpose." said the Presi dent, "because we know that in such a government, following such methods, we can never have a friendship and that in the presence of its organized power, always lying in wait, to ac complish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratitc governments of the world. "The whole forces of the Nation." if necessary, the President declared, would be spent against this "unnatural foe to liberty and to check Its preten sions and power." War Not Waged on Austria. Towards Germany's allies, the Presi dent said, the United States was tak ing no action at this time, because thev were not engaged in warfare against Americans on the seas. The United States, he said, was mov ing only against "an irresponsible gov ernment which has thrown aside all considerations of humanity and of right and is running amuck." The President expressed his confi dence In the loyalty of naturalized cit izens and declared that if disloyalty rtid lift its head It would be only from '"a lawless and malignant few" and would be sternly suppressed. With a renewed declaration that the Nation must unselfishly act only for freedom, peace and humanity, the Pres ident left tha question with Congress. Cabinet to Hold War Session. While the President was speaking, word of the torpedoing without warn ing of the American steamer Aztec, the first American armed ship to be attacked in. the barred zone, was passed from mouth to mouth, but the Presi dent did not know of it until he had finished. While Congress works tomorrow on the war resolution the Cabinet will hold a war session to which Major General Scott, chief of staff of the Army, and Admiral Benson, bhlef of operations -of the Navy, may be in vited. Meanwhile, many days of hur ried preparation for the eventuality wtrich now confronts the Nation have borne fruit and remain only to be car ried further. . 0 Need of Urgency Recited. President Wilson spoke as follows -J have called the Congress into ex traordinary session because there are serious, very serious choices of policy to be made, and made 1 immediately. which It was neither right nor const! tutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making, "On February 3, last, I officially laid before you the extraordinary announce ment of the imperial German govern ment that on and after the first day of February it was Its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or humanity and use Its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe, or any of Hbe ports controlled by enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean. German Pledges Recalled. "That has seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier In the war, but since April of last year the Imperial government had somewhat restrained the commanders of Its under sea craft in conformity with Its prom ise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which Its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at - ' - . -s v. . . - ;?-: -. .. . t , ' i -J ' S - ' - 4 i1 .l V JBTfSJSSSmSBBBSBBSV ' - ' 1 - ' "BS t-(pSCI ' ' " - - -I la . If ' C - 1 - JWm ' ' " I s . - ' r , w Mil ' . - - I least a fair chance, to save their lives in their open boats. ' "The precautions taken were mea ger and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing Instance after In stance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed. All Restrictions Swept Aside. "The new policy has swept every re striction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their er rand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with belligerents. "Even hospital ships and ships carry ing relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe con duct through the proscribed areas by the German government Itself, and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or principle. "I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would, in fact, be done by any government that had hitherto subscribed to the humane prac tices of civilized nations. International law had its origin in the attempt to set up some law which would be respected and observed upon the seas where no nation had right of. dominion and where lay the free highways of th world. "By painful stage after stage has that law been built up with meager enough results, indeed, after all was accomplished that could be accom plished, but always with a clear view at least of the things which the heart and conscience of mankind demanded. Scruples of Humanity Disregarded. "This minimum of right the Ger man government has swept aside un der the plea of retaliation and neces sity and because It had no weapons which it could use at sea except these. which It is impossible to employ as it is employing them without throw ing to the winds all scruples of hu manity or of respect for the under standings that were supposed to un- derly the intercourse of the world. I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and se rious as that is, but only of the wan ton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the dark est periods of modern history. - been deemed Innocent and legitimate. Prop erty can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. Warfare Against Mankind. "The present German submarine war fare against commerce is a warfare against mankind. It is a war against all nations. American ships have been sunk, American lives taken, in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimination. The challenge is to all mankind. "Kach nation must decide for Itself how it will meet it. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a tem perateness of Judgment befitting our character and our motives as a Na tion. We must put excited feeling away. Our motive will not be revenge or the vicarious assertion of the phys ical might of the Nation, but only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are only a single cham pion. "When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neu tral rights with arms, our right to' use the seas against unlawful Interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is imprac ticable. Because submarines are in ef fect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it Is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea It is common prudence in such circum stances, grim necessity Indeed, to en deavor . to destroy them . before they THE PRESIDENT. WOODROW WILSON. have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. "The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has prescribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before Questioned their right to defend. One Choice Impossible. "The Intimation Is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be. Armed neutrality is Ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions It is worse than ineffectual; it is likely once to produce what It Was meant to pre vent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belliger ents. "There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making. We will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our Nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against -which we now array ourselves are not com mon wrongs; they cut to the very soots of human life. y Use of All Resources Urged. "With a profound sense of the sol emn and even tragical charcater of the step 1 am taking and of the grave responsibilities which it involves, but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the imperial German govern ment to be in fact nothing less than war against the Govern m. and peo ple of the United States; that It formally accept 'the status cf belli gerent which has thus been thrust upon it, and that it take immediate steps not only to put the country in a more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all its poweiand employ all its resources to bring the govern ment of the German empire to terms and end the war. What this will Involve is clear. It will involve the utmost practicable co operation in counsel and action which the governments now at war with Ger many, and, as Incident to that, the ex tension to those governments of the most liberal flancial credits, in order that our resources may, so far as pos sible, be added to theirs. Use of All Resources. "It will Involve the organization and mobilization of all the material re sources of the country to supply the materials of war and serve the inci dental heeds of the Nation in the most abundant and yet the most economical and efficient way possible. It will In volve the Immediate full equipment of the Navy in all respects, but particu larly in supplying it with .the best means of dealing with the enemy's submarines. It will Involve the Imme diate addition to the armed forces of the United States, already provided for by law In case of war, at least 600, 000 men, who should, in my opinion, be chosen upon the principle of uni versal liability to service, and also the authorization of subsequent additional Increments of equal force so soon as they may be needed and can be handled in training. c "It will involve also, of course, the granting of adequate credits to the Government, sustained, I hope, so far as they can equitably be sustained, by the present generation by well con ceived taxation. I say sustained so far as may be equitable by taxation, be cause it seems to me that it would be most unwise to base the credits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrowed. It is our duty, I most respectfully urge, to protect our people as far as we may against the very serious hardships and evils which would be likely to arise out of the in flation which would be produced by vast loans. "In carrying out the measures by which these things are to be accom plished, we should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of Interfering as lit tle as possible in our own preparation and in the equipment of our own mili tary forces with the duty for it will be a very practical duty of supplying the nations already at war with Ger many with the materials which they can obtain only from js or by our as- sistance. They are In the f leld and we should help them in every way to be effective there. "I shall take the liberty of suggest ing, through the several executive de partments of the Government, for the consideration of your committees, for the accomplishment of the several ob jects I have mentioned. I hope that it will be your pleasure' to deal with them as having been framed after very careful thought by the branch of the Government upon which the responsi bility of conducting the war and safe guarding the Nation will most directly fall. Objects Are Outlined. "While we do these things, these deeply momentous things, let us be very clear and make very clear to all the world what our motives and our objects are. My own thought has not been driven from Its habitual and nor mal course by the unhappy events of me last two montns, ana I do not be lieve that the thought of the Nation has been altered or clouded by them. "i nave exactly the same things In mind now that I had In mind when I addressed the Senate on the 22d of Jan uary last, the same that I had In mind when I addressed the Congress on the 3d of February and on the 26th of Feb ruary. Our object now. as then. Is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in tne uie of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of ac tion as will henceforth insure the ob servance of those principles. "Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable, where the peace of the world Is Involved and the freedom of its peo ples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in th existnee of auto cratic governments backed by organ ized force, which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of neu trality In such circumstances. Quarrel Not With German People. "We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards of conduct and of re sponsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their gov ernments that are observed among the Individual citizens of civilized states. "We have no quarrel with the Ger man people. -We have no feeling to ward them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon, their im pulse that their government acted In entering this war. It was not with their prevTous knowledge or approval. "It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined on in the old, unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed o't use their fellowmen as pawns and toois. "Self-governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies, or set the course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which shall give them an opportunity to strike and make conquest. Such de signs can be successfully worked only under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions. Russia's Example Cited. "Cunningly contrived plans of de ception or aggression, carried, it may be, from generation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light honly within the privacy of courts or behind the carefully guarded confi dences of a narrow and privileged class. They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and Insists upon full information concern ing all the Nation's affairs. - "A. steadfast concert for peace cat. never be maintained except by a part nership of democratic nations. No au tocratic government could be trusted to keep faith within it or observe Its covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. In trigue would eat its vitals away; the plottings of inner circles, who could plan what they would and render ac count to no one, would be a corruption seated at its very heart- Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow Interest of their own. "Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for- the future peace of the world bs the - wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? . Russia Naturally Democratic. "Russia was known by those who knew it best to have been always In fact democratic at heart in all the vi tal habits of her thought, in all the Intimate relationships of her people that spoke their natural instinct, their habitual attitude towards life. The autocracy that crowned the summit .of her political structure, long as It had stood and terrible as was the reality of its power, was not in fact Russian In origin, character or purpose: and now it has been shaken off, and the great, generous Russian people have been added in all their native majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for Justice and for peace. Hera Is a fit partner for a league of honor. One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian au tocracy was not and could never be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled our unefispecting communities and even our offices of Government with spies and set criminal intrigues everywhere afoot against our National unity of council. our peace within and without, our industries and our commerce. Spies Here Before War. "Indeed, it Is now evident that its spies were hese even before the war began: and it unhappily- is not a mat ter of conjecture, but a fact proved In our courts of justice, that the In trigues which have more than once coma perilously near to disturbing the peace and disturbing the industries of the country have been ea.ried on at the Instigation, with the support, and even under the personal direction of official agents of the imperial government ac credited to the Government oi tne United States. "Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the most generous Inter pretations possible upon them because we knew that their source lay, not m any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people towards us (who were. no doubt, as Ignorant of them as we ourselves were) but only in the selfish designs of a government that did what It pleased and told its people nothing. But they have planned their part in serving to convince us at last that that government entertains no real friend ship for us and means to act against our peace aiad security at its con venience. Tiuit It means to stir up ene mies against us at our very doors, the intercepted note to the German Min ister at Mexico City s eloquent evi dence. Gauge of Battle Accepted. "We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government, following sucn methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organ ized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose. there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world. s , "We are now about to accept the gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the Nation to cheok and nullify Its pretentions and its power. We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pre tense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included; for the rights of na tions, great and small, and the privi lege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the trusted foundations of political liberty. Conquest Not Desired. "We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacri fices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been as secure as the faith and the freedom of the nations can make them. "Just because we fight without ran cor and without selfish objects, seek ing nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share as free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our op erations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punc tilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for. "I have said nothing of the govern ments alliel with the imperial govern ment of Germany because they have not made war upon us or challenged us to defend our right and our honor. The Austro-Hungarian government has in deed, avowed its unqualified indorse ment and acceptance of the reckless and lawless submarine warfare adopt ed now without disguise by the Im perial German government, and it has therefore not been possible for this Government to receive Count Tar nowskt, the Ambassador recently ac credited to this Government by the im perial and royal government of Austria-Hungary; but that government has not actually engaged in warfare against citizens of the United States on the seas, and I take the liberty, for the present at least, of postponing a decision of our relations with the au thorities at Vienna. We enter this war only, where we are clearly forced into it, because there are no other means of defending our rights. "It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness be cause we act without animus, not in enmity towards a people or with the desire to bring any injury or disad vantage upon them, but only in armed opposition to an irresponsible govern ment which has thrown aside all con siderations of humanity and of right and is running amuck. Much. Forbearance Shown. "We are, let me say again, the sln cerest friends of the German people, and shall desire nothing' so much as the early re-establishment of Intimate relations of mutual advantage between us however hard It may be for them, for the time being, to believe that this is spoken from our hearts. We have borne with their present government through all these bitter months be cause' of that friendship exercising a patience and forbearance which would otherwise have been Impossible. "We shall, happily, still have an op portunity to prove that friendship in our daily attitude and actions towards the millions of men and women of German birth and native sympathy who live among us and share our life, and we shall be proud to prove it towards all who are in fact loyal to their neigh bors and to the Government in the hour of test. They are. most -of them, as true and loyal Americans as if they had never known any other fealty or allegiance. They will be prompt to stand with us In rebuking and re straining the few who may be of a different mind and purpose. If there should be disloyalty. It will be dealt with with a firm band of stern re pression; but. if it lifts its head at all. it will lift It only here and there and without countenance except from a lawless and malignant few. Months of Sacrifice Ahead. "It is a distressing Vnd oppressive duty, gentlemen of the Congress, which I have performed in thus addressing you. mere are. it may be. , many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful country into war, into the most terrible and disas trous of all wars, civilisation itself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace,and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts for, democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by Now Playing PICTURES OF THE LAUNCHING OF THE VESTERLIDE, SATURDAY - - . j t It.

BAKER. Or., April 2. (Special.) There Is a dominant note of sacrifice in the patriotic stampede here as America verges on the brink of war.

Every merchant interviewed sK-reed to hold Jobs for those who en list. Many voluntered to personally care for the dependents. However, the consensus of opinion was that there should be an organization of the busi ness interests, including professional men. to shoulder the burden of provid ing for the families of married men and those dependent upon single men who Join the Army or Navy.
