How ever, certain land attorneys and agents supply plats to the public showing vacant lands in a township, etc. Probably the best course for a landseeker to pursue is to have some plats made by a reputable land office attorney of the section of the country in which he is interested and then ascertain the desirability of the vacant tracts by personal investigation.

Especial to The Times.)
WASHINGTON, ID. O.,
April 8.-It is generally
agreed here today that Presi-
dent Wilson's war message
''went the full way"
He told the two houses of con-
gress assembled in joint session
that neutrality was no longer
feasible or desirable, that armed
neutrality was Intellectual and
that 1t had become the nations
duty to join In the world war on
the side of the allies with the In
tention of crushing autocratic,
dynastic rule which interferes
with world peace and refuses to
recognize the rights Of other peo-
pies.
He made clear that Americas
quarrel is with the Prussian war
machine and not with the Ger
man people.
He forecast a league Of nations
to enforce peace as an outcome OF
the conflict.
For Universal Training.
He approved the idea OF uni
versal military training and re-
Quested congress to raise an army
of 100000 men and bring the
navy to the highest state of eff
feotiveness.
In beginning his address the
president reviewed the inexor-
able train of events that has led
up to the present crisis.
He then plunged into the heart
of his subject, outlining un-
reQuivocally what, in his opinion,
the United States must do.
The vital part of his message
follows:
His Address.

solemn and even tragioal character

grave responsibilities which 1t in

ence to what l deem my constitu-
tional duty, / advise that the con-
grsss declare the recent course Of

to be in fact nothing less than
war against the government and
people OF the United States; that

thrust upon 1t; and that 1t take

Indeed. 1t is now evident that its
spies were here even before the
war began; and it unhappily is
not a matter of conjecture, but a
fact proved in our courts of JUS
tice, that the intrigues which
have more than once come peril
ously near to disturbing the peace
and dislocating the Industries of
the country have been carried on
at the ihstigation, with the sup
port, and even under the personal
direction of official agents of the
imperial government accredited
to the government of the United
States.
Selfish Clique.
Even in checking these things
and trying to extirpate them, we
have sought to put the most gen.
erous interpretations possible
upon them because we knew that
their source lay, not in any hos
tile feeling or purpose of the
German people towards us (who
were no doubt as ignorant of them
as we ourselves were), but only
in the selfish designs of a gov
eminent that did what 1t pleased
and told its people nothing.
But they have played their part
in serving to convince us at last
that that government entertains
no real friendship for us and
means to act against our peace
and security at Its convenience.
That 1t means to stir up enemies
against us at our very doors, the
intercepted note to the German
minister at Mexico City Is elo-
quent evidence.
No Veil of Pretense.
We are accepting this chal-
lenge of hostile purpose because
we know that in such a govern
ment influencing such methods
we can never have a friend. and
that in the presence of its organ
ICED power. always lying in wait

no other means Of defending our
rights.
1t will be all the easier for us
to conduct ourselves as belliger-
ents In a high spirit of right and
fairness because We act without
animus, not in enmity towards a
people or with the desire to bring
any injury or disadvantage upon
them, but only In armed opposi-
ton to an irresponsible govern
ment which has thrown aside all
considerations of humanity and of
right and is running amuck.
Friends OF Germans.

pie and shall desire nothing so

ever hard 1t may be for them, for

Is spoken from our hearts.
We have borne with their pres

bitter months because of that
friendship, exercising a patience
and forbearance which would
otherwise have been impossible.

shall be proud to prove it toward
all who are in fact loyal to their
neighbors and to the government
in the hour OF test.
Months of Trial.
They are, most of them, as true
and loyal Americans as If they
had never known any other
fealty or allegiance. They will
be prompt to stand with us in re-
buking and restraining the few
who may be of a different mind
and purpose. If there should be
disloyalty, it will be dealt with
with a firm hand of stern repres-
sion; but, IL 1t lifts Its head at
all, it will lift 1t only here and
there and without countenance ex-
cept from a lawless and malig-
nant few.
| 1t is a distressing and oppress-
ing duty, gentlemen of the con-
gress, which | have performed in
thus addressing you. There are,
it may be, many months of fiery
trial and sacrifice ahead of us.
1t is fearful thing to lead this
great peaceful country into war,
into the most terrible and disas-
trous of all wars, civilization itself
seeming to be in the balance.
Can DO No Other.
But the right is more precious
than peace, and we shall fight for
the things which we have always
carried nearest our hearts-for

who submit to authority to have

! for the rights and liberties of
/. small nations, for universal

To such a task we can dedicate
our lives and our fortunes, every
thing that we are and everything
that we have with the pride OF
those who know that the day has
come when America is proud to
spend her blood and her might
for the principles that gave her

which she has treasured. God
