Washington, April > President
Wilson tonight asked Congress, as
scmblcd in Joint session, TO declare a
state OF war existing between the
United States and Germany.
In a dispassionate but unmeasurcd
denunciation of the course of the I'm
perial German Government, which he
characterized as challenge to all
mankind and a warfare against all
nations. the President declared that
neutrality no longer was feasible or
desirable where the peace of the
world was involved that armed nCu-
.tra!ity had become Intellectual
enough at best, and was likely to
produce what ii was meant to pre-
vent, and urged that Congress accept
the gauge OF battle with all the re
sources Of the nation.
Il advise that Congress declare
the recent course of the Imperial
German Government to be i'm fact
nothing less than war against the
government and people of the United
States" said the President, that il
formally accept the status OF bellig
erent. which has thus been thrust
upon it, and that it take steps not
only to put the country in a more
Thorough state OF defense, but also TO
exert all its power and employ all its
resources TO bring the Government
OF the German Empire to terms and
end the war" When the President
had finished speaking, resolutions TO
declare a state of war existing were
introduced in both houses of Con
gress, referred to appropriate com.
mittees and will be debated tomor-
row There is no doubt of their
passage.
The objects of the United States in
entering the war, the President said,
were to vindicate the principles OF
peace and justice against selfish
