WILSON'S
ADDRESS TO CONGRESS

In concluding his address to Con-
gress yesterday President Wilson
said:
Incompatible with Humanity.
1t has, therefore, become painfully
evident that the position which this
government took at the very outset Is
inevitable, namely, that the use of sub
marines for the destruction OF any
enemy's commerce is, OF necessity, be-
cause of the very character of the YES
sells employed, and the very methods
of attack, which their employment of
course involves, incompatible with the
principles OF humanity, the long estab-
lished and incontrovertible rights OF
reutrals, and the scared immunities of
non-combatants.
have deemed il my duty, therefore.
to say to the imperial German govern
ment that IL II is still its purpose 10

ate warfare against vessels of COM
merce by the use of submarines, not

| impossibility or conducting that war
fare in accordance with what the gov
ernment of the United States must

rules of international law and the uni
1 versal recognized dictates OF humani

States is at least forced TO the conclu
sion that there is but one course II
{ can pursue. and that unless the I'M

Charles Cooper, a Western inventor,

When the car Is cranked this winds
up spring, which releases SO pounds
of air in compressed air tank, which

Through the weight of the car and
