kind of life we have determined to
live. We are at war with Germany
because Germany made war on us,
sank our ships, and killed our citi-
zens who were going about their
proper business in places where they
had right to be, travelling as they
had a right to travel. We ether had
to fight or to keep our citizens and
ships from the seas around England,
France, and Italy,. or to have cur
ships sunk and our people and italy,
or to have our ships sunk and orr
people killed.
We did not make this war. Ger
many made war on America and only
after exercising great patience and
enduring grievous wrongs did we tor
mally declare tohis to be fact. For
over two years Germany had commit
ted hostile acts against our sover-
eighty, destroying the property and
lives of our citizens, acts which If
committed by any smaller power or
power nearer home would have led to
a quick demand from our people for
a belligerent response. By turns, as
it suited Germany's needs, she was

URGES DECLARATION Of War
ON AUSTR|A--ACT|0N FRIDAY
Task To Win The WarNo Wrong Intended Against
German Empire But War Must Be Won For The
Sake of Humanity

Washington, Dec. 4.-Declaration of
war with Austria Hungary was rec
commended to congress today by Pres
ident Wilson.
Immediate war with Turkey and
Bulgaria, Germans other allies, the
President told congress he did not be-
lieve necessary at this time because
they do not yet stand in the direct
path of necessary action.
Immediate war against Austria,
even though she only be Germany's
vassal and not her own mistress, the
President declared was necessary be-
cause the central powers must be con-
sidered as one and because the war
can be conducted successfully in no
other way.
Giving a plain warning, however,
that he would not hesitate to ask for
declaration of war on Turkey and
Bulgaria when he considered it neces-
sary the President said:
"We shall go wherever the necessi-
ties of this war carry us, but it seems
to me that we should go only where
immediate and practical considera-
tions lead US and not heed any others" i"
When Peace Will Come
Peace, the President told congress,
can come only when the Prussian
military autocracy is beaten down;
when the German people make peace
with the world through rulers the
word can trust, when they make
reparation for the wrongs their pres
ent rulers have done and when the
enslaved people of Belgium, northern
France and the Balkans have been set
free.
Germany's declaration that she is
fighting a war Of self-defense against
deliberate aggression, the President
declared "wantonly false" and he
reiterated anew that no one is threat
ening the existence of the indepen-
dence Of the peaceful enterprise Of
Germany.
Of those who speak Of peace with
out the overthrow of Germany mill
tary autocracy, the President declared:
II hear men debate peace who IN

way in which we may attain it with
uplifted eyes and unbroker spirits.
But l know that none of these speaks
for the nation. They do not touch the
heart of anything. They may safely
be left to strut their uneasy hour and
be forgotten"
War Only on German Arms
Declaring anew that the United
States has no war on Germany's skill,
enterprises or commercial achieve
ments, the President declared that the
United States became Germany's
enemy only when she started out to
dominate the world by force Of arms.
Stating again the war objects Of the
United States and those which he be-
lieved to be those of the allies, the
President declared:
II believe that I speak for them
when I say two things: First, that
this intolerable thing of which the
masters of Germany have shown us
the ugly face, this menace of COM
bined intrigue and force which we
now see so clearly as. the German
power, a thing without conscience or
honor or capacity for covenarted peace
must be crushed, and, if it be not ut

The hospital did not approve OF en-

Sidney was very happy all that sum
