LOUISVILLE ANZEIGE Our Pres
ident contends in his message that We
have TO go to war to free the world OF
autocratic rule. The German peoples,
says he. were not asked if they wanted
TO 20 70 war or not. Even if so. let US
not make the same mistake, but give
our people. b. referendum vote. the
opportunity TO decide themselves about
the momentous question: peace or war.

surprise. There is no expectation that Con-

pressed wish Of the President. We are 10 be

Comment Of Local
German Press

GERMAN HEROLD-There are two feat
ures in the Presidents address that are espe-
cialy noteworthy. In the first place. he de-
clares that America has no quarrel with the
German people. He also says that America
will not wage war against Germany's allies
Mr.. Wilson is anxious to detach Germany's
allies from her. We fear that his endeavors
will be fruitless We are certain. for in
stance. that if the Austrian Emperor should
conclude a separate peace. he would be con-
fronted with revolution of his German sub
iects In respect TO Mr.. Wilson's declaration
that the war il not aimed at the German
people. we think he has a lurking suspicion
that they would quickly cast of their kings
and princes if they saw a strong democratic
power ready TO shield them against their enc
mics, while they set their house in order
Many of them would prefer a republican form
Of government but they feel that If they
follow their inclinations at this time the re-
sulting internal disturbances would permit
the enemy TO enter the gates and 20 deyastate
Germany. Germany will remain monarchy
till after the war. just for this reason.

ST. Louis Westliche Post.-The his
toric moment in which loosened bonds
of friendship between the United
States and Germany. which have lasted
more than $50 years have finally been
torn apart, arrived last night with the
reading of the Presidents message to
Congress.
There can exist no doubt of the
standing of American citizens of Ger
man extraction. The Gcrman-Ameri-
cans do not have to give assurances of
loyalty. They have steadily shown
themselves to be true and dutiful citi-
zens. With their blood they have
helped TO build and uphold the nation.

an army he would have Congress provide for
