Important Points in
Presidents Message

n UR object is to win the war
10 and we shall not slocken or
he diverted until il is won.
Pays little heed to those who
say we are not united solidly to
this end.
Pacifists ''may safely be left to
strut their uneasy hour and be
forgotten"
People have right to know just
what government will regard as
sufficient to bring about peace.
Demands "fuII impartial JUS
ticc-justiCc done at every point
and to every nation that the final
settlement must affect, our enc
mics as well as our friends"
Autocracy must he shown the
utter futility of its claims to pow
er or leadership in the modern
world.
I'VE shall regard the war as
won only when the German peO-
pic say to us, through properly
accredited representatives that
they arc ready to agree to set
tlcment based upon justice and
the rcpaPation of the wrongs their
rdlers have donc.'
Power of Germany in Austria
hungary, the balkans, turkey
and within Asia must be relin-
quiShcd.
We do not wish in any way to
impair or rearrange the Austro-
Hungarian empire.
German ruling classes lie when
they say we are fighting for the
ruin of Germany.
Danger is that if Germans con-
tinuc present form of government
after war they may NOT be adj
mitted to new partnership of ma
tons.
The Russian people have been
poisoned by the same falschoods
rs have been fed to the German
people.
Recommends immediate decla-
ration of war with Austria: pos
sibly with other German allies
later.

price will be. 1t will be full i'm
partial justice-justice done at every
point and to every nation that the
final settlement must affect. our
enemies as well as our friends.
You catch, with me, the voices of
humanity that are in the air. They
grow daily more audible. more ar
come from the hearts of men every
where. They insist that the war shall
not end in vindictive action of any
kind: that no nation or people shall
be robbed or punished because the
irresponsible rulers of a single coun-
try have themselves done deep ana
abomlnable wrong. 1t is this thought
that mas been expressed in the for
mula, mo anneXations. no contribu-
tions, no punitive indemnities."
Russia Led Astray
Just because this crude formula
expresses the instructive judgment
as to right of plain men everywhere
IL has been made diligent use of by
the masters of German intrigue to
lead the people of Russia astray--
and the people of every other coun-
try their agents could reach in order
thai a premature peace might be
brought about before autocracy has
been Taught it's final and convincing
lesson and the people of the world
put in control of their own des-
TIMES.
But the fact that a wrong use
has been made of Just idea is no
reason why a right use should not
be made of it, 1t ought to be brought
under the patronage of it's real
friends Let it be said again that
autocracy must first be shown the
utter futility of it's claims to power
or leadership in the modern world.
1t is impossible to apply any stand
ard of justice so long as such forces
are unchecked and undefeated as
the present masters of Germany
command. Not until that has been
