I shall not go hack to debata the
causes or the war. Tbe Intolerable wrongs
done and planned against us by the sin-
ister masters or Gennsny here long Diuca
become too grossly obvious s.id odious to
every true American to need lo be ra-
hearsed. But 1 shall ask you lo consider
again and with a very grave scrutiny our
objectives and the measures by which
we mean to attain them; lor tho purpose

Dill I know that none of these speaks for

to strut their uneasy hour and be for-
gotten. But rrom another point of view. I be-
lieve It Is necessary to say plslnly whst

to play In the settlement of Its search-

Ton catch with me the voices of bu
manlty that are in the air. They grow
oauy more audioie more articulate more
persuasive snd they come from the
hearts or men everywhere. They Insist
that tin war ahall not end; in vindictive
. i turn or any kind; that no nation nr
people ahall lie rubbed or punished be-
tsusa the Irresponsible rulers or a single
country have themselves done deep and
alximlnable wrongs. It Is this thought thst
baa been expressed In the formula: "No
annexsllons no contributions no punitive
Indruinatlon." Just because this crude
formula expresses the Instinctive Judg-
ment as lo right or plain men everywhere
It has been made diligent use or by the

people or llussis astray and . the people

and restlessly as always the right will
prove to be the expedient.
What shah we do then to push this
great war of rreedom and Justice to Ita
righteous conclusion? We must clear
away with a thorough band all Impedí
menta to success and wo must make
every adjustment or law that win rsnii
tate the full and free use of our whole

or Declare war aa AueUia-Huogary.
. ror one very embarraaalnv obstacle that
stand In our way Is that we arc at war
with Germany but not with her allies. I
therefore very earnestly recommend that
us initial wneniaieny oecisrn tne
United States In a state of war with Aus-
!r la Hungary. Does ft seem strange tn
you that this should be tlx conclusion or
the argument 1 have Just addressed to
you? It la not. Itls in ract lb inevita-
ble logic of what I have said. Austria-
Hungary Is for the time being not her
own mistress but simply the vassal or
the norman government. W must rsce
this racts as tbey are told act upon them
without sentiment in this stern business.
The government or Austr.s llungsry is
not acting upon lis own Initiative or In
response to the wishes and feelings of its
own peoples but as the instrument or an-
other nstlun. We must meet Its rorro
lia our own and regard the central pow
ers ss but one. The war can be success-
fully conducted In no other way. Th
ssme logic would lesd also to a declara-
tion or war against Turkey and Bularan.
They alao ara Ihe tools or Uermany. But
tbey are mere tools and do not yet stand
in tbe direct path or our nocesssry action.
We shall go wherever the necessities or
this war carry us but It teem to me thai
we should go only where Immediate and
practical considerations lead us and not
heed any others.
Financial and Military Measures.
The financial and military measures
which must be sdopted will (suggest

of proposing to you certain other acts of

tentlon or congress upon another oc-
casion. ir I have overlooked anything thai ought
to be done for the more efTertlve conduct
clear about Is thst In tno present session
or the congress our wnole attention and
energy should be concentrated on Ihe
vigorous snd rapid nn successful prose-
cution of the gresl task or winning th
war.
la War far High Prlaelpl.
W can do this with all the greater
irsl and enthttsissm versus we know
tint f-vr us this Is a war or high principle
debased by no selfish ambition or con-
quest or spoliation; because we know
and 11 tbe world knows Uist we have
been rorced Into It to save the very In-
stitutions we live under from corruption
and destruction. The purposes of the
central powers strike straight at the very
hosrt or everything we believe In: their
methods of warfare murage every prin-
ciple or humanity and or anlrhtlv honor;
tlielr Intrigue his rnrrupled the very
thought and spirit or msny nr our people:
their sinister and secret diplomacy has
sought to take our very territory away
rrom us and disrupt too union of the
stales nur safety would be at an end
our honor rnriver sullied and brought
into enntemnt were we to permit their
triumph. They are striking st the very
existence of democracy and I'berty.
It Is because It Is tor ns a nar of high
disinterested purpose in which sil Iho
free peoples or the world are bended to-
gether ror the vindication or right a war
ror ihe preservation or our nailon snd nr
all thst II hss held desr or principle snd
of purpose Uist we reet ourselves doubly
constrained to propose ror Its outcome
otiTy Thst which It rlgntootis and or lore-
prosehsble Intention tor our roes rs well
as ror nur friends. Tbe cause helnr Just
and holy the settlement must no or iige
mot ve snd auslltv. for this 1
right but ror nothing less noble or less
Worthv of our traditions. For this cause
we entored the war snd ror this cause
will we hsttlo until the last gnu Is tired.
People's Eye Opened.
I havo stioken plainly because this
seems to me the time when It Is most
nocesssry lo speak plainly. In order that
all tne world may snow mat even 111 tne
heat and ardor or Ihe struggle and when
hole thought is or carrying tne war
through to Its end we nsve not rorgollen
ny ideal or principle ror 11 men me tiiunc
or America has been hold In honor smong
the nations snd for which It has been
our glory to contend In the groat genera-
tion that went before us. A supreme mo-
ment of history hss mine. Tho ryes or the
people have been opened and they sea.
The hand or Uod Is Isld upon tho nailon.
He will show them Isvor. I-devoutly Ll-
ueve only ir Uioy rise to Ihe deer heights
of Ills own Justice and mercy.
