PRESIDENT URGES
WAR ON AUSTRIA.
ALSO STATES TERMS UPON WHICH
THE UNITED STATES WILL
CONSIDER PEACE.

4 definite statement to the world
of Americas war aims and OF the
basis upon which peace will be con-
sidered was made by President Will
son. in an address to C CongressTuesday
in which he urged immediate declara-
ton of a state of war between the
United States and Austria-Hun-
gary-Germany's vassal and tool.
AS to Turkey and Bulgaria also
tools of the enemy. he counseled de-
lay because they do not yet stand
in the direct path of our necessary
action"
To win the war. the President de-
clared in emphatic sand bringing
tones, is the immediate and unal-
terable task ahead. He urged Con-
gress, just beginning 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 understand
neither its nature nor the way it
may be attained. With victory an
accomplished fact, peace will be
evolved based upon mercy and
justice''-to enemy and friend
with hope of a partnership of ma.
tions to guarantee future world
peace.
The war will be deemed won, he
declared, when the German people
say to us, through properly accred-
tied representatives. that they are
ready to agree to a settlement based
rpon Justice and reparation of the
wrong 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, as defln-
ed briefly as follows:
Freedom of nations and their
peoples from autocratic domination.
reparation to Belgium. relinquish-
ment of German power over the
peoples of Austria. Turkey. the free
Balkan States, as we'll as evacuation
of Prussian territorial conquests IN
Belgium and Northern France
Emphasizing the purpose OF the
United States not to interfere IN the
internal affairs of any nation, the
President asserted that no wrong
against the German empire was in
tended, and that there was no desire
to rearrange the Austro-Hungarian
empire. He said when he spoke
eight months ago of the right of ma
tions to free access of the seas ne
had Austria, as well..as the smaller
and weeker nations. in mind.
Approval of the Presidents de-
claration of war on Austria Hun.
gary was voiced by practically eV'
cry member of Congress who com.
mented upon it. Many of those
who approved it regretted only that
it did not recommend also declara
tions of war on Turkey and Bulgaria.
Many pronounced the address the
greatest State paper ever prepared
by the President. and Hdeclared:: it
sounded the keynote for the Win
ninp of the war.

General Maistre, who commanded
the French army that conquered the
last remaining position of the ia
nous Chemin des Danes and thus
earned promotion to the rank OF
Grand Officer in the Order of the
Legion of Honor, began to serve his
country when he was twelve years
old by purloining powder from the
Prussian soldiers who were quarter
ed in the house of his parents in the
Franco Prussian war of 1870. The
boy who was afterwards to lead the
French army in one of the hardest
fought battles of the great war. laid
away the stolen powder for cunning
expeditions in the forest near his
home. There was some of this bor'
rowed ammunition left when the
present war began.

An Atlanta Fish Story.

An Atlanta fisherman whose rep
utation for veracity has (hitherto)
never been questioned tells this
tragic tale; Whilelfishing in Florida
lake he noticed large fish, about S
feet in length, floating about half out
of the water and apparently suffer
ing great pain and laboring under
intense excitement. He caught it
with a hand net, cut it open and
found it's interior mechanism shot
all to pieces by the vicious fins of a
catfish it had swallowed, which was
still alive and on the job.-ftors''ce
