PRESIDENTS MESSAGE SPECIAL SESSION
CONGRESS ADVISING RECOGNITION
BETWEEN UNITED GERMANY.
Continued From Page Three.
Just because we fight without

Just because we fight without
rancor and without selfish objects,
seeking nothing for ourselves but
what we shall wish to share as free
peoples, we shall, feel confident,
conduct our operations as belliger-
ents without passion and ourselves
observe with proud punctilio the
principles Of right and Of fair play
we profess to be fighting for.
Il have said nothing Of the gov
ernment's allied with the imperial
government Of Germany because they
have not made war upon us or chal-
lenged us to defend our right and our
honor. The Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent has, indeed, avowed its un-
qualified Endorsement and accept
ance of the reckless and lawless sub
marine warfare adopted now without
disguise by the imperial German gov
eminent, and it has therefore not
been possible for this government to
receive Count Tarnowski, the ambas-
sador recently accredited to this gov
eminent by the imperial and royal
government of Austria-Hungary:
but that government has not actually
engaged in warfare against citizens
Of the United States on the seas. and
take the liberty, for the present at
least. Of postponing decision of our
relations with the authorities at Vi
enna. We enter this war only where
we are clearly forced into it because
there are no other means Of defend
ing our rights.
1T will be all the easier for US to
conduct ourselves as belligerents in
a high spirit of right and fairness be-
cause we act without animus. not in

ings strongly endorsing the admin.
istration and urging congress to fol.
low his advice, were held in cities
large and small, all over the country
The advent Of the war congress-
was heralded by patriotic demonstra
tions OF every kind in the nationa'
capital. Thousands of flags fly from
the houses and public buildings
Many OF these huttering from govern
ment structures and the taller build
ings are emblazoned in the light o.
giant searchlights which are shor
from nearby roofs.
Hundreds Of men and women on {
pilgrimage Of patriotism came tt
town from every part of the natior
to stage a counter demonstration tt
that planned by the pacifsts in ar
effort to avert the war.
First Woman Member.
The converting Of congress marked
one Of the most dramatic scenes ir
the nations history. For the first
time in the history of any nation q
woman will vote to decide peace o,
hostilities. Miss Jeanette Rankin
from Montana, holds the RESPONSE
bility for speaking the voice OF
American womanhood. Her vote or
the war resolution has aroused the
curiosity of the country.
To prevent violent outbreaks the
most rigid police protection has been
enforced throughout the week. The
president himself has been particu.

might be attacked by some fanatic

Can Never Be Friendly.

Can Never Be Friendly.
I'VE are accepting this challenge Of
hostile purpose because we know
that in such . government, following
such methods, we can never have .
friend; and that in the presence of its
organized power, always lying in wait
to accomplish we know not what pur.
pose, there can be NO assured secur-
ity for the democratic government Of
the world.
1--WE are now about to accept the
gauge of battle with this natural foe
to liberty and shall, IL necessary,
spend the whole force of the nation
to check and nullify it's pretentions
and its power. We are glad, now
that we see the facts with no veil Of
false pretense about them. to fight
thus for the ultimate peace Of the
world and for the liberation Of its
peoples, the German peoples includ-
ed; for the rights of nations great
and small and the privilege of men
everywhere to choose their way Of
life and Of obedience. The world
must be made safe for democracy.
Its peace must he planted upon the
trusted foundations Of political lib
erty.
1--WE have no selfish ends to serve.
We desire no conquest, no dominion.
We seek no indemnities for ourselves,
NO material compensation for the
sacrifices we shall freely make. We
are but one of the champions OF the
rights of mankind. We shall be sat-
isllod when those rights have been
- secure ~ the faith and tho free.
dom Of tho nataone can mako them.

enmity towards a people or with the
desire to bring any injury or disad-
vantage upon them, but only In
armed opposition to an irresponsible
government which has thrown aside
all consideration of humanity and of
light and is running amuck.
we are let me say again, the sim
cere friends of the German people,
and shall desire nothing so much as
the early re-establishment of init
mate relations of mutual advantage
between us-however hard it may be
for them, for the time being. to be-
lieve that this is spoken from our
hearts. We have borne with their
present government through all
these bitter months because of that
riendship-eXercising a patience for
forbearance which would otherwise
have been impossible.
Cherish No Hl-Will.
I'VE shall, happily. still have an
opportunity to prove that friendship
in our daily attitude and actions to-
wards the millions of men and wo-
men of German birth and native
sympathy who live amongst us and
share our life, and we shall be proud
to prove it towards all who are in
fact loyal to their neighbors and to
the government in the hour of test.
nf hnr
loyal Americans as if they had never
known other fealty or allegiance
They will be prompt to stand with us
. in rebuking and restraining the few
who may be of different mind and
purpose. If there should be disloy-
atty, it will be dealt with with firm
hand of stern repression; but, if it
lifts it's head at all, it will lift it only
here and there and without counte-
nance except from lawless and ma
lignant few.
1T is a distressing and oppressive
duty, gentlemen of the congress,
which l have performed in thus ad-
dressing you. There are, it may be,
many months of fiery trial and sacri-
fee ahead of us.
ut is a fearful thing to lead this
great peaceful country into war, into
the most terrible and disastrous of
all wars, civilization itself seeming
to be in the balance. But the right
is more precious than peace, and we
shall fight for the things which we
have always carried nearest our
hearts-fOr democracy, for the
