STATES FORCED TO
BEGIN WAR: IN OLD MEXICO
President Wilson Delivers Special Message to Joint Session of
Congress Explaining Why Decisive Action
Must Be Taken There.
SAYS HUERTA HAS SINGLED OUT THE
UNITED STATES FOR MANY INDIGNITIES
No Formal Declaration of War, But Action Amounts to the
Same Thing Except for Technical Points Wilson's
Speech Lauded by Congress and Action Taken.
Qiij Associated Press to the Coos Bay Times.)
WASHINGTON, 1). C, April 20. President Wilson
late today willed a conference with the Secretaries of
State, War and Navy tor 8 o'clock tonight at the White
House, lie cancelled a trip to New York tonight to ad
dress the animal luncheon of the members of tho Associat
ed Press there' tomorrow.
(Bit Associated Press to Coos Ban Times.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 20. At 3 o'clock sharp
this afternoon President Wilson delivered a special mes
sage to a joint session of Congress, asking for approval
to use the armed forces of the United States in such ways
and to such an extent as may bo necessary to obtain from
General LLuerta and his adherents the fullest recognition
of the rights and dignity of the United States.
President Wilson finished reading his address at 3:12
and left the chamber amid a roar of applause and cheers.
President Wilson said, in part:
"It is my duty to call to your attention a situation which
has arisen in our dealings with General Hucrta at Mexico
Uity, winch calls ior action, and to ask your advice and
co-operation in acting von it."
President Wilson then retold the story of the arrest of
the marines at Vera' Cruz and continued :
"Hucrta urged that orders had been issued that no one
he allowed to. ltuuL Our naval eoinniaudei's. should not
have been notified of any such prohibition, and even if
they had been, the only .instil lablo course open to the local
authorities would have beeli to request the paymaster and
his crew to withdraw and to lodge a protest with the com
manding officer and his fleet. Admiral Mayo regarded the
arrest as so serious an affront that he was not satisfied
with (he apologies offered and demanded a salute to the
flag. The incident is regarded as a trivial one, but un
fortunately it was not an isolated case. A series of in
cidents have occurred which cannot but create the impres
sion that representatives of Huerta were willing to go out
of their way to show a disregard for tho dignity and rights
of this government and felt perfectly safe in doing what
thoy pleased, making free to show in many ways their
contempt"
The .President then repealed the story of the arrest of
an orderly at Vera Cruz and the holding up of official
dispatches.
"1 have heard of no complaints of other governments
of similar treatment. The manifest danger of such a situ
ation was that such offenses might grow from bad to
worse. I therefore felt it my duty to sustain Mayo in his
demand for a salute. Such a salute Hucrta refused ana
1 come to ask your approval and support in the courso J
now propose to pursue."
"If an armed conflict," .President Wilson concluded,
"should unhappily come as a result of his attitude of per
sonal resentment, 'we should be firing only on Huerta and
those who adhere to him, and our object would be only
to restore to the people of this distracted republic an op
portunity to set up again their own government. I come to
ask your approval that I should use armed forces in such
ways as are necessary to obtain from Huerta the fullest
recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States.
There can be in what we do no thought of aggression or
selfish aggrandizement."
