Of German power over the peoples Of
Austria, Turkey, the free Balkan
states. as we'll as evacuation Of Prus-
sian 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 re-arrange the Austro- Hungarian
empire He said when he spoke eight
months ago of the right of nations to
free access to the seas he had Austria
as we'll as the smaller and weaker
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 greet
ed, and his speech was received with
enthusiastic applause which grew tu-
multuoRs when he reached the recon-
mendation as to Austria
Diplomats, justices Of the supreme
court and other high officials as
sembled on the floor joined in 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 more significant because, since
his reply to the pope's peace note the
president has come to be regarded
more and more as spokesman for
all the nations fighting Germany.
BY advance arrangement, the adj
dress was made available for publica-
ton today in nearly every corner of
the globe 1t probably will not APP
pear IN full in the Teutonic press, but
the papers of neutral countries and
the work Of allied aviators will get 1t
to many Germans in unmutilated
form.
The request for declaration Of
war with Austria met with virtually
unanimous approval and congress to-
night was prepared to give prompt
response. Passage by the house on
Thursday and by the senate on Friday
OF the necessary resolution was plan
ned by the leaders, who began draft
ing the formal document soon after
the president finished speaking
Strong sentiment in favor Of in
Guiding Turkey and Bulgaria in the
new war declaration in spite of the
presidents counsel was prevalent but
administration leaders expected to
curb it by pointing to Mr. Wilson S
declarations
We shall go wherever the neces-
sites of this war carry us, but it
seems to me that we should 90 only
where immediate and practical con
siderations led US and not heed any
others"
There has been no indication of
what is to be expected from the small
group which has opposed the govern
ment's war policies.
Senator LaFollette today did not
JON in the demonstrations Of approx
al given the presidents utterances
With folded arms and contracted
brows, he sat ntently watching the
executive, bat without applause and
did not rise with the throne at var
Ious junetures.

e.gn relations committee who voted
AGAINST the first war resolution, prob

White SOx and Indians Impress
Tigers and Browns Appear Out of the Running

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The White Sox
and the Indians have made the best
impression upon the wandering Griff-
men in their hrst invasion OF the
West. The Tigers and Brownies seem
out OF the running.
The Indians, contrary to eXpects-
tions, play snappy baseball at all
times. In addition, they are danger
