NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

uniform, and waste and duplication
as much as possible avoided.
Additional legislation may also BE-
come necessary before the present
Congress again adjourns. in order to
effect more efficient coordination
and operation Of the railway and
other transportation systems OF the
country; but to that l shall. II cir
oumstances should demand, call the
attention of the Congress upon an
other occasion.
II have overlooked anything that
ought to be done for the more effect
i've conduct of the war, your own
counsels will supply the omission.
What l am perfectly clear about 10
that in the present session OF the
Congress our whole attention and en-
ergy should be concentrated on the
vigorous, rapid and successful prose-
cution of the great task of winning
the war.
We can do this with all the great
err zeal and enthusiasm because We
know that for us this is a war OF
high principle debased by no selfish
ambition of conquest or spoilatton;
because we know, and all the world
knows, that we have been forced in
to it to save the very institutions we
live under from corruption and de-
struction.
The purposes of the central pow
ers strike straight at the very heart
of everything we believe in; their
methods of warfare outrage every
principle of humanity and of knight
ly honor; their intrigue has corrupt
ed the very thought and spirit OF
many of our people; their sinister
and secret diplomacy has sought to
take our very territory from us and
disrupt the union Of the States.
Our safety would be at an end
our honor forever sullfed and
brought into contempt were We
to permit their triumph. They
are striking at the very exist
| ence Of democracy and liberty.
1t is because 1t is for us war of
high, disinterested purpose, in which
all the free peoples of the world are
banded together for the vindication
of right, war for the reservation OF
our nation and Of all that 1t has held
dear of principle and of purpose,
that we feel ourselves doubly con-
strained to purpose for its outcome
only that which is righteous and OF
irreproachable intention, and our
foes as we'll as for our friends. The
cause being just and holy, the settle
ment must be of like motive and
quality.
For this we can fight, but for moth
ing less noble or less worthy of our
traditions. For this cause we en-
tered the war and for this cause will
we battle until the last gun is fired.
have spoken plainly because this
seems to me the time when it is most
necessary to speak plainly. in order
that all the world may know that
even in the heat and ard0ur of the
struggle and when our whole
thought is of carrying the wal
through to its end We have not for
gotten any ideal or principle fol-
which the name of America has been
held in honor among the nations and
for which it has been our glory to
contend in the great generations that
went before us.
A supreme moment of history has
come. The eyes of the people have
been opened and they see. The
hand of God is laid upon the nations
We will show them favor, / devoutly
believe, only il they rise to the cleal
heights of His own justice and
mercy.

committed in this war will have to
be righted. That Of course. But
they cannot and must not be righted
by the commission of similar wrongs
against Germany and her allies. The
world will not permit the commits
sion OF similar wrongs as means
of reparation n settlement.
Statesmen must by this time have
learned the opinion of the world IS
everywhere wide awake and fully
comprehends the issues involved. No
representative Of any self-governed
nation will dare disregard it by at
tempting any such covenants Of self
ishness and compromise as were en-
tered into at the congress OF Vienna.
The thought of the plain people here
and everywhere throughout the
world, the people who enjoy no privi-
leges and have very simple and I'M
Sophisticated standards of right and
wrong, is the air all governments
must breathe if they would live.
1t is in the full disclosing light OF
that thought that all policies mas1
be conceived and executed in this
midday hour of the worlds he.
! German rulers have been able to up
set the peace of the world only be
| cause the German people were not
suffered under the tutelage to share
| the comradeship CT the other Peep g;
Of the world either in thought or IL
purpose. They We're allowed to have
no opinions of their own which
might be set up as a rule Of conduct
for those who exercised authority
over them. But the congress that
I concludes this war will feel the fill
strength of the tides that run now
/ in the hearts and consciences of free
men everywhere. Its conclusions
, will run with those tides.
All these things have been true
from the very beginning of this stu
| pendous war, and l cannot hep
! thinking that if they had been made
plain at the very outset the sympa-
people might have been once for all
enlisted on the side Of the allies, sus-
picion and distrust swept away, and
a real and lasting union of purpose
effected. Had they believed these
things at the very moment of their
revolution and had they been con-
firmed in that belief since, the sad
reverses which have recently marked
the progress of their affairs toward
an ordered and stable government
might have been avoided.
The Russian people have been
poisoned by the very falsehoods
that have kept the German peo-
pie in the dark, and the poison
has been administered by the
very same hands. The only
possible antidOte is the truth.
1t cannot be uttered too plainly

DANGER IF
HIGH WATER

Grand Rapids, Wis, Mar. 15.-With
the approach of spring and warmer
days, apprehension is felt over the
danger of floods when the @pring thaws
set in Word here from all parts of
northern Wisconsin indicates the
heaviest snowfall in years. If the
thaw is rapid, farmers are fearful
that floods cannot be averted. In re-
gions around Wausau, Biron Nekoosa,
and other northern points, show av-
eragas Ct three feet IN depth, it is
said, and the entire seasons fall of
snow, which began in November, is
still on the ground. The snow is
densely packed and contains a good
deal of moisture. The hope of all
farmers and villagers along the riv-
ers of northern Wisconsin is that the
thaw will be gradual enough to permit
the streams to carry off the water
without overlooking their banks.
