Against Austria
A definite statement to the world
of America's, war alms and of the
basis upon which peace will be con;
sldered was made Tuesday by Presi
dent Wilson In an. addJiess to con
gress, In. which he vurged Immediate
declaration of a state of war between
the United States and Austria-Hungary,
Germany's vassal and took .
As to Turkey and Bulgaria, also
tools of the enemyr he counselled
delay, because "they do not yet stanu
In the direct path of our necessary
action."
To win the war, the president de
clared In emphatic and ringing tones,
Is the immediate and unalterable task
ahead. He urged congress, just be
ginning its second war session, to
concentrate Itself upon It.
The president sharply dismissed
the possibility of premature peace,
sought by German intrigue and de
bated here by men who "understood
neither its nature nor the way it may
be attained." With victory an accom
plished fact, he said, peace would be
evolved and based upon mercy and
justice "to enemy and friend"
with hope of a partnership of nations
to guarantee future world peace.
The war will be deemed won, he
declared, when "the German people
say to us, through properly accredited
representatives, that they are ready
to agnee to a settlement based upon
justice and reparation of the wrongs
their rulers have done."
Terms of peace, he added, would
not include dismemberment, robbery
or punishment of the enemy), but
would be based on justice, defined
briefly as follows: '
Freedom of nations and their peo
ples from autocratic domination, rep
aration to Belgium, relinquishment of
Gonrnan' power ov,er the peoples of
Austria, Turkey, the free Balkan
state aa well as evacuation of Prus
sian territorial conquests in Belgium

Thinks War Will
Last five Years
; Dr. M. M. Dow of Medford, who
recently returned- from the Clinical
College of Surgeons of North Amer
ica, held in Chicago, makes the' dire
prophecy that the war will last five
years. "I could find no one,"' said
DT Dow, "from Colonel Decle of the
French army to Sir Berkeley Meythan
of the British Medical Corps, who
thought this war would end short of
four or five years,"
Dr. Dow says the tales of atrocities
published, In this country about the
Germans do not tell, half the story.
Many distinguished French and Bngf
llsh surgeons who have seen active
service at the front were at thef meet
ing, and theytold ot actual' experi
ences which were so horrible, Dr.
Dow declared, that they could not "be
printed.
' Delayed reports of an exhibition
swimming feat. In which Miss Cora
Ueland was the star 'performe1, "are
