WASHINGTON Dec 4

WAOf1llNOlOlN, DcC. l.. President Wilson addressing Congress today and reading hls message recommended an immediate declaration of war against Austria-Hungary.
 He said this was necessa- ry to meet the anomalous sit uation which the United States IS now facing in its war against Germany, even though the dual monarchy IS not its own mistress, but merely a vassal of Germany.
 The President did not rec ommend war against Tur- key or Bulgaria. He said they did not as yet stand in the path of the American war program against Prus- slan autocracy.
 In ringing and definite terms the President declared that nothing shall turn Amer lea aside from her purpose until the war IS won and German militarism and au- tocracy are beaten. He said all peace talk was out of the question.
 The President said thaN peace could come only when the German people made it through their rulers and on such terms that the world could trust them; and when the German people made reparation for the destruc- ton the present rulers had wrought, and whenever Ger many recedes from its in- vaded territory.
 Continuing, the Presi- dent said the American na- ton was united in spirit and its intention to carry through the war, despite reports to the contrary. He said tha, all Americans know what the war IS about.
 The address was trans. mitted in advance to practi. cally every capital in tho world, as 1t IS considered O prime importance in rela ton to international affairs Sinister German Masters. President Wilson said h, would not debate the cause of the war; that the intol erable wrongs done us b, sinister German master were too grossly obvious ane odious to every true Amer can to be rehearsed."

tore Congress to discuss ac- ton and this action must move towards definite ends. He said he heard men de- bate peace who did not un- |derstand its nature. Refer ring g to these he said: They may safely be left to strut their uneasy hour and be forgotten.
 Americans Impatient. The President said Amer jeans were impatient with those who desire peace through compromise, and said he believed that the peo- pie wanted the German power crushed. He de- clared the price of peace will be full and impartial justice done at every point to every nation, enemies and friends alike.
 Voices of Humanity.
 The President said the voices of humanity were in the air and that these growing voices insist that the war shall not end in vindictive action. He said German intrigue had led Russia astray by the false for mula of mo annexations and punitive indemnities." He said it was impossible to apply any standard of justice as long as autocracy was unchecked, and that the victors will be allowed to make no unselfish claims. Belgium Wrongs. President Wilson said Ger many's wrongs to Belgium must be repaired, and that her power over Austria and Tur- key must be relinquished. "We admired Germany's conquest of peace by still in- dustry," he said, land her in- innate knowledge of enterprise, but she threw them away to establish in their stead what the world will no longer per- mit-military domination by which to oust where she could have exceeded the rivals which she most feared and hated"
 The President said the Allies do not intend to interfere in any way with the international affairs of Germany.
 Germany Not Threatened. l He said Germany falsely de- clared that she is fighting a war of self-defense against de-
 liberate aggression. He said lnone threatened Germany's
 peaceful enterprise or indepen- dence.
 The President said he would ask for declaration of war against Bulgaria and Turkey , when he considered it neces- sarry.
