DECLARATION OF WAR
URGED BY PRESIDENT.
STATES THAT PEACE WITH GER
MANY IS NO LONGER FEAST
BILE OR DESIRABLE.

MANI NV AoINoSkA
BILE OR DESIRABLE.
Washington, April 2:-President
Wilson tonight urged Congress, as
sembled in joint session, to declare
a state of war existing between the
/ United States and Germany. In a
dispassionate but unmeasured de-
nunciation of the course of the I'm
perial German Government, which
he characterized as a challenge to
all mankind and warfare against
all nations, the President declared
that neutrality no longer was feas-
ible or desirable where the peace of
the world was involved; that armed
neutrality had become Intellectual
enough at best and WIS likely to
produce what it vas meant to pre-
vent, and urged that Congress ac-
cept the gage of battle with all the
resources of the nation.
Il advise that the Congress de-
clare the recent course of the I'm
perial German Government to be in
fact nothing less than war against
the governpent and people of the
United States" said the President;
that it formally accept the status
of belligerent 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 en-
ploy 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
state of war existing were intro
duced in both houses of Congress,
referred to appropriate committees
and will be debated tomorro
There is no doubt of their passage.
The object of the United States in
entering the war. the President said,
were to vindicate the principles of
peace and justice against selfish
and autocratic power" Without
selfish ends, for conquest or domin-
ion, seeking no indemnities, or ma
terial compensations for the sacri.
fees it shall make, the United States
must enter the war, the President
said, to make the world safe for de-
mocracy, as only one of the cham
pions of the rights of mankind. and
would be satisfied when those rights
we're as secure as the faith and free
dom of nations could make them.
The Presidents address was sent
in full to Germany by a German off,
cial news agency for publication in
that country. The text also went to
England, and a summary of its con.
tents was sent around the world to
other nations.
To carry on an effective warfare
against the German Government.
which he characterized as a natural
foe to liberty, the President recon-
mended:
Utmost practical cooperation in
council and action with the govern
ments already at war with Germany.
Extension of liberal financial Gre
dts to those governments so that
the resources of America may be
added 80 far as possible to theirs.
! Organization and mobilization of all
the material resources of the country.
Full equipment of the navy, par.
ticularly for means of dealing with
submarine warfare.
An army of at least 500, 900 men,
based on the principle of universal
liability to service, and the authori.
zation and additional increments of

ANTHRAX AMONG CATTLE

An outbreak of anthrax on several
ranches in the Truckee meadows
near Reno is causing speculation
among ranehers and stockmen and
the seriousness of the outbreak has
led some ranchers in the district to
charge the outbreak to one OF an
extensive plot to destroy cattle in the
district. 1t is the first outbreak OF
anthrax in that section in II years.
That the epidemic was caused by
some German or other agent inoeu-
