MUST QUIT SEIZED LAND.

They have done a wrong to Bel
GUM which must be repaired. They
have established a power over other
lands and peoples than their WI
over the great empire Of Australian
gary, over hitherto free Balkan states,
over Turkey, and within Asia-which
must be relinquished.
"Germany's success by skill, by in
dustry, by knowledge. by enterprise we
did not grudge OF oppose. but admired,
rather. She had built up for herself
a real empire Of trade and influence.
secured by the peace Of the world. We
were content to abide the rivalries of
manufacture, science, and commerce
that were involved for us in her sue
cess, and stand or fall as we had or did
not have the brains and the initiative
to surpass her.
But at the moment when she had
conspicuously won her triumph of
peace she threw them away to estab-
fish In their stead what the world will
no longer permit to be established
military and political domination by
arms, by which to GUST where she could
not excel the rivals she most feared
and hated.
The peace we make must remedy
that wrong. It must deliver the once
fair lands and happy peoples Of Bel
GUM and northern France from the
Prussian conquest and the Prussian
menace, but II must also deliver the
peoples Of Autria-H Hungary, the peo-
Pile Of the Balkans, and the peoples
of Turkey, alike in Europe and in
Asia. from the impudent and alien
domination Of the Prussian military
and commercial autocracy.

HAND OF GOD is LAID UPON THE
NATIONS,"

1.-THE u being Just and holy, the
settlement must be of like motive and
quality. For this we can fight, but
for nothing less noble or less worthy
Of our traditions. For this cause we
entered the war and for this cause will
we battle until the last gun is fired.
III have spoken plainly because this
seems to me the time when 1t Is most
necessary to speak plainly in order
that all the world may know that w
In the heat and ardor of the struggle
and when our whole thought Is Of
carrying the war through to its end, we
have not forgotten any ideal or prin-
ciple for which the name Of America
has been held I'm honor among the
lions and for which 1t has been u
glory to contend I'm the great genera
lions that went before us.
"A supreme moment of history has
come. The eyes Of the people have
been opened and they see. The hand
Of God is laid upon the nations. He
will show them favor, / devoutly be-
lieve, only II they rise to the clear
heights Of His Own justice and mercy"
The Presidents recommendation for
a declaration of a state of war with
Austria was followed by a moment of
silence, and then the legislators burst
into applause which grew and grew

bers rose and began cheering,
followed, then more, until all but a
dozen senator's and representatives
were on their feet joining In the demon
stration, which lasted about a minute.
Conspicuous among those who did not
rise or applaud were Senator La Fol
lette and Representatives Mason of IL
linois and Moore of Pennsylvania.

RAN bank has issued no balance
