cate that his speech was possibly in
tended as a message to the people of
Germany, of Austria and Of Russia, as
we'll as of the United States. He de.

or Russia. he said that he was
amazed that some groups in that
country could suppose that "any re.
form plans In the interest Of the peo-
pie can live in the presence OF a Ger.
many powerful enough to undermine
or overthrow them by intrigue or
force"
"Fatuous as the dreamers Of Rus.
sia." were those persons in this coun.
try. he declared emphatically, who nm.
pose that "the free industry and en-.
terprise of the world a continue II
the pan.German plan is achieved and
the German power fastened upon the

Germany Started War.
The President directly asserted that
Germany had started the war and
said he would leave confirmation OF
this statement to the verdict Of his.
tory. He referred to Germany's
growth to a place in the sun" and
asked why she was not satisfied when
she gained that position. In answer,
he described the German govern.
ment's methods Of controlling the
competition OF it's industries and as.
serted that call the while there was
lying behind it's thought. in its dreams
for the future, a political control
which would enable It in the long
run to dominate the labor and the
industry Of the world.
Mr.. Wilson cited In this connection
the Berlin-to.B agdad railway which he
said, was constructed TO run the
threat OF force down the flank OF tho
industrial undertakings OF half a doz.
en- other countries, 80 that when Ger.
man connection anne in 1t would
not be resisted too far " because
there was always tho possibility OF
getting German armies into the heart
Of hat country quicker than any 9th.
er armies could get there"
Summing up. he said that Germany
Is determined that the political power
" the world shall belong to her.
