Washington, d. c., June 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson warned the American
people in a Flag day address on the
Washington monument grounds to-
day that Germany has carried into
effect the greater part of her immedi-
ate plan for conquest and now is me-
designed to end the war while her ag-
gressions are secure.
The Central empires. the president
declares, have been centered into one
great autocracy-ridden empire,
throwing a broad belt of German
military power and political control
across the very center of Europe and
beyond the Mediterranean into the
heart of Asia"
This accomplished he said it is
easy to understand why Germany is

very clearly to what point this war
has brought them. They see i'm

which they have up to this point ap-
parently gained. If they can hold
these advantages they will have justi-
fed themselves before the German

st is plain enough how we were
forced into the war. The extraordi-
nary insults and aggressions of the
imperial German government left us
no self-respecting choice but to take
up arms in defence of our rights as
free people and of our honour as a
sovereign government. The military
masters of Germany denied us the
right to be neutral They filled our
unsuspecting communities with spies
