PRESIDENT IMLSON ASKS AUTHORITY TO Ml) HUH | President Still Desires Peace But Says There Is Some- i thing Greater Than Peace. MUST PROTECT RIGHTS OF AMERICANS AND HUMANITY Text of President Wilson's Addrees to Congress Asking For Authority to Place United Statee In State of Arm ed Neutrality. —Bill Granting Auth ority Is Introduced by Congressman Flood. Washington.—Presldont Wilson an poured before congress and asked for authority to place the United State* In a state of "armed neutrality" to re : slst the German submarine. The President spake as follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I again ask the privilege of address ing you because we are moving through critical times during which It seems to me to be my duty to keep In clone touch with the house* of con j grass *o that neither counsel nor ac tion shall run at cross purposes be tween us. 1 "On the third of February, I offi cially Informed you of the sudden and unexpected action of the Imperial German government In declaring its Intention to disregard the promise* It had made to till* government in A»rl! last and undertake Immediate subma I rlne operations against all commerce, | whether of belligerents or of neutral*, ' that should seek to approach Great I Britain aud Ireland, the Atlantic coasts ! of Europe, or the hsrbor* of the east ern Mediterranean, and to conduct | those operation* without regard to J the established restrictions of Inter- I national practice, without regard to | any consideration* of humanity evon which might Interfere with their ob ject. That policy was forthwith put Into practice. It has now been In ac tive execution for nearly four weeks. "It* practical n-Bults are not fully disclosed. "The commerce of other neutral notion* Is suffering aeverely, but not, perhaps, very much more severely than It was already suffering before the first of February, when the new policy of tho Imperial government was put into operation. Wo have ask )d the cooperation of other neutral gov ernment* to prevent these depreda tions, but I fear none of them has thought It wise to Join u* In any com mon course of action. * "Our own commerce has suffered, I* Buffering, rathor In apprehension than In fact, rather bocause so manv of our ship* are timidly keeping to their home ports than because Amer ican *hlp* have been sunk. "Two American vessel* have been sunk, the Houstatonlc and the Lyman M I,aw. The ca*e of the Hou*tatonlc which wa* carrying foodatuff* con signed to a London Arm, waa essen tially like the case of tho Frye, In which It wll be recalled, the German government admitted Its liability fof damages, and the lives of the crew, as In the case of the Frye, were safe guarded with reasonable care. "Tho case of the Law which wa* carrying lemon box *taves to Pslermo, disclosed a ruthlessness of method which deserve* grave condemnation, but was accompanied by no clrcum statics* which might not have been expected at any time In connection with the u*e of the *ubmarlne against merchantmen a* tho Oomnan govern ment has used It. "In mm. therefore, tho sltustlon we find oumolvo* In with regard to tha actual conduct of the German subma rlne warfare agalnnt commerce and It* effect upon our own ship* snd peo ple Is substantially the same that It was when I addre**ed you on the third of February, except for tho ty ing up of our shipping In our own port* because of the unwillingness of our ahlp owner* to rl*k (belr ve**els r* aea without Insurance of adequate protection and the vsry serious con gestion of our commerce which his resulted, a congestion which Is grow ing rapidly more and more serious every day. Thl*. In Iteelf, might pre* ently accomplish. In effect, what the new aorman submarine orders were meant to acrompllah. so far as we ant concerned. We can only ssy. there fore, that the overt act which 1 have ventured to hope the German com mander* would In fact avoid haa not occurred. "But while thl* I* happily true. It must be admitted that there have been certain additional Indications and ex pression* of purpose on the part of the German press and the German au ] thorltle* which have Increased rather ! than lessened the Impression that. If our ship* and our people are spared. It will be because of fortunate circum stance*, or becauee the coromandera of the German submarine* which may happen to encounter exerclae an un expected discretion and restraint rath er th*n because of the Inetructlona iinrfnr which those commandera are : acting, [ "It would be foolish to deny that the situation la fraught with the grav est possibilities and danger*. • • • • i "I cannot. In auch circumstance*, bo unmindful of the fact that the expire tlon of the term of the present con gress Is Immediately at band, by con stitutional limitation; and that It I would In all likelihood, require en un- I usual length of time to aaaemblo and organize the congreee which la tJ succeed It. I feel that I ought. In view of that fact, to obtain from jhiu full and Immediate assurance of we authority which 1 may need at aav . moment to exerclae. "No doubt. I already posaea* that ! authority without special warrant of law, by the plain Implication of my conetltutlonal duties and powers; but I prefer, In the present circumstance* not to art upon general Implication. I > wish to feel that the authority and the power of congreaa are behind mi In whatever It may become neceaaa-/ for me to do. We are jointly the ear vants of ths people and must act to gether and In their spirit, ao far as we can divine and Interpret It. "No one doubts what It la our dtt; -j|Mi i) to do. We muat defend our commerce f and the HTM of our midst of the present try la* circum stances, with discretion bat yslth clear > and steadfaat purpose. Only the method and the extent remain to be chosen, upon the occasion, if occasion . ; should Indeed arise. "Since It has unhappily proved im-1 poslble to safeguard our neutral right# . by diplomatic means against the un- I warranted infringements they are I suffering at the hand* ot Germany, 1 | there may be no recourse bat to armed ' neutrality, which we shall know how to maintain and for which there is abundant American precedent "It Is devoutly to be hoped that it will not be necessary to put armed force anywhere into action. The j American people do not desire It, and our desire It not different from theirs. I am sure that they will understand the spirit In which I am now acting, the purpose I hold nearest my heart and would wish to exhibit In every- , Jhlng I do. "I am anxious that the people of the j nations at war also should understand j and not mistrust us. I hope that I »«ed give no further proofs and au surances that I have already given throughout nearly three years of anx ious patience that I am the friend ot peace and mean to preserve It for America so long as I am able. "I am not purposing or contemplat ing war or any steps that need lead to it. I m'rely request that you will accord me by your own vote and defi nite bestowal the means and the au thority to safeguard In practice the right of a great people who are at peace and who are desirous of exer cising none but the rights to follow the pursuit of pesce In quietness and good will —rights recognized time out of mind by all civilized nations of tho world. No course of my choosing or of theirs will lead to war. War can come only by the willful acta and ag gressions of others. "You will understand why I can make no definite proposals or fore casts of action now and must ask for your supporting authority In the most general terms. The form in whi'.h action may become necessary can not yet be foreseen. I believe that the people will be willing.to trust me to act with restraint, with prudence, and In the true apirlt of amity, and good faith that they have themselves displayed throughout these trying months; and it is in that belief that , I request that you will authorise me to supply our merchant ships with de fensive arma should that become nec essary, and with the means of asln; them, and to employ any other In strumentalities ar methods that may be necessary and adequate to protect our ablpa, and our people in their le , ultimate and peaceful pursuits on the seas. I request also that you will grant me at the same time, along with the powers I ask, a sufficient credit for me to provide adequate means of protection where they are lacking, In cluding adequate insurance against the present war risks. "I have spoken of our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our pe> pie on the seas, but you will not be misled as to my msln thought, the thought that lies beneath these phrai es and gives them dignity and weight. It is not of national Interests merely that we are thinking. It Is rather of fundamental human rights, confidence of all the right ot life in Its future. I am thinking not only of to go and come about their proper business by way of the sea, but also of something much deeper, much more fundamental than that. "I am thinking ot those rights of humanity without which there Is no civilisation. My theme is of those great principles of compassion and of protection which mankind has sought to throw about human lives, the lives of non-combatants, the lives of the men who are peacefully at work keep ing the lnddstrlal processes of the world quick and vital, the lives of women and children and of those who supply the labor which ministers to their sustenance. We are speaking of no selfish material rights but of rights which our hearta support and whos* foundation Is that righteous paasion for justice upon which all law, all structurea alike of family, of atate and of mankind must rest, as upon the ultimate base of our existence and our liberty. I can not Imagine any man with American principles at his heart hesitating te defend theae rights."

WILL LET COMMISSION FIX PRICEB ON PRINT PAPER. I Consent is Given By Publishers, How ever, Prosecutions Ars. Not to Be Withdrawn. I Washington.—Newspaper publishers from throughout the United States, meeting here with the Federal Trado Commission, voted unanimously to co operate with the commission If It de cided to accept the proposal by news print manufacturers that the commls alon fix a price for their products. Tha publishers agreed to reduce their re quirements, if necessary, to make tho plan successful. Francis J. Heney, speaking for tho commission, told the publishers that any of their number who would not agree to hold paper requirements to the minimum would be kept from benefitting by the price reduction if the commission could accomplish It. More than one hundred publishers, representing both large and small newspapers, were present at the meet ing. The publishers' assent to the pro posal removes virtually all doubt of \ Its acceptance by the Trade Commis alon, and after manufacturers are seen again It Is expected the commission will announce it is ready to go ahea3 with the plan. The Trade Commission believen enough manufacturers are participat ing to insure a general price break. I Publishers made it clear that In ac cepting the proposal they will not ac cept any plan carrying with It *» promise that manufacturers guilty of violating the anti-trust laws escape punishment. At a meeting held before they saw the commission, a resolution was adopted saying: . - . \ * "It Is the sense of those assembled that whatever may be the outcome of these pending conferences, there 1 should, In the judgment of this meet ing, be no suspension or interruption of the Investigation into the cases leading to the conditions now existing In the news print paper trade now pro ceedlngthrough the agency of the De partment of Justice." After the meeting, most of the pub lishers signed an agreement submit ted by the commission In which they pledged themselves to cut their "3- qulrements at least five per cent bo low their 1916 supply of paper.

Too mnny small duck growers make little or no profit from their year's la- i bor, simply because tliey are Ignorant | 1 of the proper time to market their, ducklings. Success comes only by | feeding the ducks all they can eat from the time they are hatched until they ten weeks old and then send ing them right away to market If the ducklings are hatched early, so the top prices may be secured, they can be sold when nine weeks old. But i never keep ducklings that are to be j marketed longer than 12 weeks, no | matter how backward they are. After , this period the ducklings begin to grow 1 fffrH fiialml WFS&%3BSr Runner Duck. ! their adult plumage and rapidly lose In weight and therefore will not be fit to kill until they are 18 or 20 weeks old. It Is necessary to force your duck lings to the greatest possible extent. If they are not ready for market In ten weeks, and have to be kept ten weeks longer you either will make no profit or lose on the bargain. At the older age they will not bring nearly as much , as green ducks and will have cost you 1 nearly twice their worth. * ■ FATTEN ALL SURPLUS MALES I Pumpkins Found Quite Satisfactory- Fowls Make Quick Gains—Flesh Fine In Flavor.
