NATION MUST Fight
Pesident so Declares, Denouncing
Course of Germany

/
clare the recent course of the im-.
perial German government to be
in fact nothing less than war
against the government and peo-
pie of the United States, that it
formally accept the status of billi-
gerent which has been thrust upon
it and that it take steps not only
to put the country in a more thor
ough state of defense, but also to
exert all its power and employ all
its resources to bring the govern
ment of the German empire to
terms and end the war"
These are the words spoken by
President Wilson in bis address to
congress last Monday. He further
stated:
We are now about to accept
gage of battle with this natural foe
to liberty, aad shall, if necessary,
spend the whole force of the ma
ton to check and nullify its pre-
tensions and its power.
We enter this war only where
we are clearly forced into it, be-
cause there are no other means Of
defending our rights.
1t will be all the easier for us
to conduct ourselves as billigerents
10 a high spirit of right and fair
ness because we act without animus,
not in enmity toward a people or
with the desire to bring any injury
or disadvantage upon them, but
only in armed opposition to a ir-
responsible government. which has
thrown aside all considerations of
humanity and of right and is run
ming amuck."
The president urged congress,
assembled in joint session. to de-
clare a state of war existing be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
In dispassionate, but unmeas-
ured denunciation of the course of
the imperial German government,
which he characterized as a chal-
lenge to all mankind and warfare
against all nations, the president
declared that neutrality no longer
was feasible or desirable where the
peace of the world was involved.
and armed neutrality had become
Intellectual enough at best and was
likely to produce what it was meant
to prevent, and urged that con-
gress accept the gage of battle
with all the resources Of the ma,
ton.
When the president had finished
speaking, resolutions to declare
state of war existing were intro
duced in both houses of congress
and referred to appropriate COM
mittees.
The object Of the United States
in entering the war, the president
said, were to vindicate the princi-
Piles of peace and justice against
selfish and autocratic power"
Without selfish ends, for conquest
or domination, seeking no indemn-
tiles, or material compensation for
the sacrifices it shall make, the
United States must enter the war.
the president said, to make the
world safe for democracy, as only
one of the champions of the rights
of mankind, and would be satisfied
when those rights were as secure
as the faith and freedom of ma
lions could make them.
The presidents address was
sent in full to Germany BY Ger
man official news agency for pub.
LEGATION in that country. The text
also went to England. and a SUM-
mary of its contents was sent
around the world to other nations !.

name of "Morgan's Raiders" They
gave the flower of their youth and
strength to the cause dear to the
South, and those of them that are
left are st;ll remembered and loved
in the South and honored in the

Captain Lucas Popular.
Among these is Captain Mason B.
Lucas, who is known throughout

He is now finishing his second term as
County Tailor, and there is no moro

During the war, he was Morgan's

to call him "Morgan's Old Horse
Thief" as he was always given COM
mand of foraging parties when they
had got past the Union lines and were
In Northern territory.
"Uncle Mace" is now 20 years old
and not long ago he felt that he was
getting into the class of old men.
But he feels fine again now and says
he believes he can straddle his horse
from the ground and make as hard
q ride as he could in the days of '61,
In telling the story of how he got
back his health, he said:
"Some time ago, my stomach went
back on me, and / felt heavy and
logy after eating. got so ! couldn't
sleep we'll at night and began to get
a little nervous. My appetite WASN'T
what II used to be either. ! didn't

Morgan's Raiders, loved and hon.
cred by every man and woman in the
South, and feared throughout the
North in the days of 81, are still
remembered by their daring raids in
TO the very heart of the North. These
fearless men led by John Morgan
stopped at nothing, and time after
time they slipped past the Union lines
and back again bringing with them
thousands of dollars worth of plumber.
These men, often riding day and
night for weeks at a time, sparing
nothing to aid the cause of Dixie.
