washington, Sept. 6.-"America must
declare war on Germany's allies"
This = the theme Of an appeal to
the American people issued by the Pa
triotM Defense Society headed by
Henry n Wisc Wood Of New York.
which has established headquarters In
washington to aid In creating war en-
thusia1m.
Governors Of the society, which In
sists that war against autocracy must
not leave Austria unattached, include
Perry Belmont, Martin J. Gillin, Henry
b. Joy. Albert Bond Lambert, Ray

Mr.. Wood.
more and moro clearly" the state
ment reads. 1t becomes apparent that
this countrys anomalous position In
her relations with Austria Hungary
Turkey, and Bulgaria should be ter
minated forthwith. II this Is war OF
democracy against autocracy. how can
we maintain friendly relations with the
most despotic Of tho great empires,
Austria Hungary? All Of the reasons
that made 1t necessary for America
to offer in sacrifice tho lives Of her
youth and to pledge her anAire re-
sources to war to the finish with
the Hohenzolierns, demand similar
declaration against the Hapsburgs
outrapss In Serbia.
Tho Hapsburgs have shown the
same ruthless disregard Of the rights
OF small nations AZ the Hohenzollerns.
Remembering the wrongs Of Belgium,
we have forgotten the wrongs OK
Serbia. Austrian armies have commit
ted tho Same outrages upon Serbian
women, old men and children that Ger
mar soldiers have committed In Bel
GUM. Austrian submarines sink ships
without notice, and Austria has Of
ficially indorscd German submarine
warfare.
Every days delay in declaring war
on Austria, Bulgaria, and Turkey not
only puts off the ultimate victory. but
il ~ a source Of actual danger to
American homes. The embassies Of
these allies OF Germany. with their
privileges OF sending code messages,
afford a leakage for information TO
reach Berlin. The attaches OF Bull
garia and Austria have free access to
our war. state and navy departments,
and no matter how guarded our Off
cials may be. the representatives Of
these nations, allied with our enemy,
can and do obtain information OF our
war plans, which eventually reaches
Bcrlin, through the agency Of their
home offices.

"AustrianS and Hulgarians have been
found In numerous plots against this
country. and have been instrumental
in stirring up disorder Intended TO
hamper our war efforts. This is par
iicuiarly true Ct the ]. w. W., where
few Germans are to be found.
"Austrians and Bulgars on the other
hand. are az numerous lE stirring up
disorder through this organization as
Germans were in italy before that
country got rid Of them by declaring
war on the imperial German govern
ment. Even China. the last nation to

10 profit by the mistakes OF other ma
fions and. by her declaration OF war,
has placed the Hapsburg kaiser, the
Bulgarian car, and the unspeakabla
Turk In tho Same basket, with their
