WILSON URGES j. S.
DECLARE WAR ON
AUSTR|ANS
TELLS YANKEE AIMS IN ADDRESS
BEFORE JOINT SESSION
OF CONGRESS.
why AMERICA IS FIGHTING
War win End, Says Executive, When
German People are ..eady to Set
tie on Basis of Justice.

A definite statement to the world
of America 5 war aims and of the basis
upon which peace will be considered
was made Tuesday by President Will
son IN an address to congress in which
he urged immediate declaration of a
state of war between the United
States and Austriaa- Hungary-Ger-
many's vassal and tool. As to Turkey
and Bulgaria-also tools of the enemy
he counseled delay, because "they do
not yet stand in the direct path of our
necessary action.'
To win the war, the president de-
ciared in emphatic and ringing tones,
is the immediate and unalterabe
task ahead. He urged congress, just
beginning its second war session, to
concentrate itself upon it.
Premature Peace Ignored.
The president sharply dismissed the
possibility of premature peace, sought
by German intrigue and debated here
by men who understand neither its
nature nor the way it may be at
tanned. With victory AN accom-
pished fact, he said, peace will be
evolved upon ENERGY and justice -
to enemy and lend-with hope of u
partnership of nations to guarantee
future world peace.
The war will we deemed won, he
declared, "when the German people
say to us, through properly accredit
ed representatives, that they are
ready to agree to settlement based
upon justice and reparation of the
wrongs their rulers have done. y
Terms of peace, he added, would not
include ACKNOWLEDGMENT, robbery or
punishment of the enemy, but would
be based ON Justice, defined brn.y as
follows:
Freedom of nations and their PEG.
pies from autocratic domination
reparation to Belgium, reIinauish
ment of German power over the peo.
pie of Austria, turkey and the free
Balkan states, as well as evacuation
Prussian territorial conquests il
Belgium and northern France.
Tells of Purpose in War.
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 rights of nations
to free access to tie seas ne had Aus
tria, as well as the smaller and weak
er nations, in mind.
Appearing before congress in joint
session for the first time since he
asked for the war declaration against
Germany last April, the president was
more than usually warmly greeted,
and his speech was received with en-
thnsiastic applause which grew tu-
mnltuous when he reached the rec
mendation as to Austria. Diplomats,
justices of the supreme court and
other high officials assembled on the
floor, joined i'll the demonstration.
The definition of war aims and
peace terms, the most explicit ever
voiced by the head of any of the great
warning powers, was accepted as the
most significant because since his
reply to the pope's peace note the
president has come to be regarded as
a spokesman for all the nations fight.

Mrs. Dewey, Leagues
Dare" to Daniels
Gifts to Navy Men To Be
Distributed by AdmiraPs
Widow

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Secretary
Daniels is facing dare" from the
Navy League. The league announced
to-day that it would continue the oper-
alton Of its comforts committee"
which was put under ban by Mr.. Dam
iels following the leagues attack on his
delay in investigating the Mare Island
explosion.
Articles will be sent" says the
league statement tonight. "to the sail
ors under the name of Mrs. George
Dewey, widow OF the late admiral Of
the navy, who has accepted the hon
orary Craftsmanship of the comforts
committee of the Navy League
The "darc" lies in the fact that Sec
rotary Daniels had barred all officials
Of the league from navy property and
had declared that the men of the navy
could accept no more gifts through the
league.
Immediately following the announce
ment the league arranged for gifts to
be sent 20 the sailors through ndivid-
ual members This latest step is 10

Decries Effort to
Restore Press Tax
Herbert L. Bridgman Declares
Plan Destructive, Unfair
and Un-American

Declaring that the increase in the
cost Of materials which enter into the
manufacture of newspapers has seri-
ously affected the taxpaying ability Of
this industry, Herbert L. Bridgman,
chairman Of the Publishers Assoca-
ton of New York City and former
president of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, yesterday is
sued a statement strongly opposing
the reported efforts to restore a pro-
vision for an increased tax on news
papers, based on the zone system, in
the revenue bill. The Publishers As
ISOLATION Of New York City is COM
posed Of the newspapers of New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City.
The adoption of the zone system"
he said, "would operate as stimu-
liant in the promotion Of sectionaliSm.
The effect would be the creation Of
artificial areas outside of which pub
locations would have little circulation.
A few Southern newspapers may ad-
vocate the zone system because they
are not affected by its provisions.
Many New York publications circulate
widely in the West, and the inter
change Of ideas has a broadening ef-
fec: upon the people of both sections.
THE additional tax proposed, while
particularly hard on big newspapers,
cuts at the very vitals of the thou
sands Of small newspapers published
throughout the country. The proposed
rate is confscatory, destructive, un-
fair and un-American."

Suffrage Meetings
In Streets Tonight
Speakers Will Emphasize
War Note Throughout
Campaign
By BRIGGS

Suffrage street meetings will begin
in New York tonight. In every AS
sembly District in the city the suf-
fragists will mount the stand for the
first of series Of stump speeches
that will be repeated until midnight Of
November 5.
The 1917 street meetings will be diff
ferent from those of 1915, the suf-
fragists say, as the war note which will
be emphasized so forcibly this year
had no part in the suffrage theme OF
two years ago. Suffrage as war
measure, to be given 20 the sex whose
merit has been shown by war service,
is to be the chief point brought before
the man in the street this year. And
since suffrage needs only one more
man out of nine in addition to those
who voted for the amendment in 1915,
the street speakers feel that theirs is
not an impossible task.
Among the women from other cities
who will speak in New York are Miss
Margaret Hinchey and Mrs. 7. T. Cot
nam, of Arkansas.
In addition to the women, there is a
brigade OF men speakers on the pro-
gramme, and others will be added TO
the list as election day draws near.
On the present list are Professor c..
B. Briggs, Philip Comstock, Dan Fell
loves Platt, former mayor Of Engle-
wood, n. j.; Frank A. Bryne and r. c..
Beadle.
Speakers who will enter the campaign
later are William Jennings Bryan, Ev-
erett Colby, DR.. John Lovejoy Elliott,
j ohn A. Kingsbury, Owen Lovejoy, Sec
rotary of the Treasury William G.. Nc
Adoo, W. Y. Morgan, Thomas Mott Os-
borne, Samuel Untermyer, Frank A.
Vanderlip, DR.. Jacob Gould Schurmau,
DR. Stephen S. Wise and Charles B.
Smith.
A corps of speakers in foreign lam
guages have been specially equipped to
instruct the East Side crowds in suf-
frage.

shift to Cover Waste" in
City Land Deals

Of the Gary system in the public schools
was launched yesterday at a meeting
Of the AntiGsry League at the Hotel

dent William G.. Wilcox of the Board

TEN. the league sent out letter re-
Iterating its charges:
That while John Purroy Mitchell was
Mayor the administration Of the Board
Of Education was changed through the
action OF the men representing the
Rockefeller interests.
THAT the Gary system Of education
is a maheshift and political institution
TO cover the waste of the city's millions
in land deals which should have been
devoted to education.
That the system reduces the quality
of education.
That the quality Of education will
result in the failure of public schools
TO meet the requirements of the
Regents of the State of New York, as
the committee appointed By the Board
Of Education Of the city of Syracuse
has already said"
A statement of II. f. Miles. Of Ra-
cine, Wis, highly commencing the
work play-study system as introduced
under the Mitchell administration was
given out by the Public Welfare Com
mittec. Mr.. Miles is chairman of the

Ballot Association
Warns Against Bipartisan
Frauds at the Primaries

The Honest Ballot Association,
through George B. Kessler, its secr..
tary, made public yesterday a rumor
that a bipartisan plan existed 70 per-
petrate primary frauds on Wednesday,
primary day, with anti-organizaton
candidates as the victims Mr.. Kessler
warns election officers that his associs.
ton will do its best 10 see that all Of.
tenders of this sort are sent 70 the
penitentiary, reminding them that i
secured the conviction Of twenty-five
election officers belonging TO both par
ties who participated IN such a con-
spiracy in 1915.
Election officers" Mr.. Kessler says,
ARE appointed by the controlling or.
carnations OF the two dominant polt-
zeal parties, and IL IL often a tempts-
ton for these organization representa-
tlyes 10 combine in defeating antl-or-
ganlzatlon candidates, regardless Of
party. This temptation IS increased BY
the absence OF watchers from the polls
In this connection let me remind elee-
ton officers that in the districts where
twenty-five Of their fraternity were
convicted of fslonious practices in con-
nectlon with the constitutional conven.
ton election there were no watchers
present at the polls. Ine evidence wa,
collected by the Honest Ballot Associs-
ton after the election was over. and il
was so convincing that every one Of the
election officers pleaded guilty Of the
offences with which they we're charged.
: is said that a word TO the wise is
sufficient"
The Mayor also renewed his warning
10 all city department heads regarding
the collection Of political assessments
from city employees. In circular let
ter he inclosed a copy of the civil SER
vice law prohibiting any such assess
ment for political purposes, and he
promised TO ask for the vigorous pros
ecution" Of any one attempting It's
violation.
