President Makes II Clear That No
Action Is To Be Taken Against Aus
trian Government and Other Nations
Allied With Germany-cavaIry Es-
corts President to the Capitol.

Washington. President Wilson
Monday night asked Congress to de-
clare a state of war existing between
the United States and Germany.
While the news of the summarizing
Of the steamer Aztec-the first Amer1-
can armed ship to sail into the war
xone-was being told from mouth to
mouth in the Capitol, the President,
appearing before House and Senate in
Joint session, asked Congress to rec
ognize and deal with Germany's war
fare on America
The President made it clear that no
action was being taken against the
Austrian government and the other
nations allied with Germany.
The President said war with Ger
many would involve practical coop
Grafton with the governments now at
war with Germany, including liberal
financial credits. He urged the rails
ing of 100000 men by universal mill
tary service.
Neutrality No Longer Feasible.
The President said:
Neutrality is no longer feasible or
desirable where the peace of the world
Is involved and the freedom of it's
peoples, and the menace to that peace
and freedom lies in the existence of
autocratic governments backed by or
ganized force which is controlled
wholly by their will, not by the will of
their people. We have seen the last
of neutrality in such circumstances.
We are at the beginning of an age
in which it will be insisted that the
same standards of conduct and of re-
sponsibility for wrong done shall be
observed among nations and their
governments that are observed among
the individual citizens of civilized
states.
We have no quarrel with the Ger
man people. We have no feeling to-
wards them but one of sympathy and
friendship. 1t was not upon their i'm
pulse that their government acted in
entering this war. 1t was not with
their previous knowledge or approval.
The President left the White House
for the Capitol at 8.11 P. M. He had
been preceded by troop of cavalry,
which cleared the Capitol plaza Of
great crowd assembled there.
Troops Guard President.
Two troops Of cavalry were ordered
to the Capitol to guard against any
disorder while the President delivered
his war message. The soldiers, part
of the Second Regular Cavalry at
Fort Myer, rode through the city to
the Capitol about half an hour before
the President was scheduled to start
up Pennsylvania avenue with an es-
cort of secret service men. The high
feeling between pacifist propagandists
and war advocates who crowded the
city led to extreme precautions by the
police throughout the city.
President Wilson's war message to
Congress had been postponed from 8
o'clock until $50 o'clock because of
delay in completing the organization
of the House of Representatives in
time to assemble both Houses at the
earliest hour
