Declare War Immediately On Austria
siis Hungary.
One very embarrassing obstacle that
stands in our way IL that We are at
wlr with Germany, but not with her
allies. therefore very earnestly
recommend that the Congress imme-
diately declare the United States in
state Of war with Austria-E ungaTy.
Does 1t seem strange to you that this
should be the conclusion kbe argu,
ment have just addred TO you?
It is not. It is, in fact Inevitable
logic OF what l have ID. Austria
Hungary is for the I 8 being not her
own mistress, but simply the vassal
Of the German Government. We must
face the FACTS a.. they are and act upon
thesa without Continent in this stern
business. The Government of Aus
|tria-I1ungary Is not acting upon its own
initiative orsin response to the wishes
and feelings Of its own peoples, but
as TIE instrument of another nation.
Turkey and Bulgaria Also Germany's
Tools"
We must meet it's force with our
own ind regard the Central Powers as
but one. The war can be successfully
conducted in no other way. The same
logic would lead also to declaration
Of war against Turkey and Bulgaria.
They also are the tools of Germany.
But they are mere tools and do not yet
stand in the direct path of our neces-
sary action.
We shall go wherever. the neces'
stiles Of this war carry US, but it seems
to me that we should go only where
immediate and practical considerations
lead us, and not heed any others.
The financial and military measures
which must be adopted will suggest
themselves as the war and its under
takings develop, but will take the
liberty of proposing to you certain
other acts of legislation which seems
to me to be needed for the support of
the war and for the release of our
whole force and energy.
It will be necessary to extend in GER
tain particulars the legislation of the
last session with regard to alien
enemies: and also necessary, l believe,
to create very definite and particular
control over the entrance and depar-
ture of all persons into and from the
United States.
To Restrain Female As Well AS Male
Enemies.
LEGISLATION should be enacted defln-
ing as a criminal offense every wilful
violation of the Presidential proclama-
ton relating tosalien enemies promul-
gated under Soetion 4067 of the Re-
vised Statutes and providing appro-
pirate punishment; and women as well
as men should be included under the
terms of the acts placing restraints
upon alien enemies. It is likely that
as time goes on many alien enemies
will be Wiling to be fed and housed at
the expense of the Government in the
detention camps and it would be tho
purpose of the legislation have sug-
gested to conf1ne offenders among them
in penitentiaries and other similar in
situations where they could be made
to work as other criminals do.

the fact that the town is supplied with
