JOINT CONGRESS TO DECLARE WAR COURSE OF GERMAN GOVERN MENT NOTHING LESS THAN I WAR AGAINST U. S. RECOMMEND FULL NAVY UNO ARMY OF 500,000 Declaree President in Dispassionate But Unmeasured Denunciation of Course of That Government, Which He Characterised as a Challenge to Mankind and a War-fare Against All Nations, Making Neutrality Neither I Feasible Nor Desirable. Washington.—President Wilson ask ed Congress. assembled In Joint sen slon, to declare a state of war exist ing between the United States and Germany. In a dispassionate but unmeasured den uncut lon of the course of the Im perial Government, which he charact erized as a challenge to all mankind and a warfare against all nations, the President declared that neutrality no longer was feasible or desirable where the peace of the world was Involved; that armed neutrality had become in effectual enough at best, and was like , ly 'to produce what it was meant to prevent, and urged that Congress HC , cept the gauge of battle with all the resources of the nation "I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial Ger man Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States," said the President, "that It formally ac cept the status of belligerent, which has thus been thrust upon it. and that it take steps ( not only to put the coun try in a more thorough state of de fense, but also to exert all its pow>>r and employ all its resources to bring the Government of the German Km pi re to terms and end the war." When the President had finished speaking, resolutions to declare a state of war existing were introduced in both hous es of Congress, referred to appropratc committees and will be debated There is no doubt of their passage The objects of the United Slates 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 dominion, seek ing no Indemnity or material, compen sations for the sacrifices It shall make, the United States must enter the war the President said, to make the world safe for democracy, as only one of the champions rtf the rights of mankind, and would be satisfied when those rights were as secure as the faith and freedom of nations.could make them CO OPERATION AND COUNCIL WITH WARRING NATIONS URGED Complete Text of President's Addresi Sent to All Nations! Washing! on.-The President's nd dress was sent in full to Germany by a German official news agency for publication in that country. The text also went to Kngland and a summary of its contents was se?!t around the world to other nations To carry on an effective warfare against the German government wlsich he characterized as a "natural foe to liberty,"' the President recom mended: "Utmost practical cooperation in counsel and action with the govern ments already at war with Germany. "Fxtension of liberal financial credits to those governments so that the resources of America may he add *d so far -as possible to theirs "Organization and mobilization of all the natural resource* of the country "Full equipment of the navy, par ticularly for means of dealing with submarine warfare "An army of at least 500.000 men, based on the people of universal based on the principle of universal liability to serrlce. and the authoriza tion of additional increments of 500.. 000 each as they are needed or can be. handled in training. "Raising neceeeary money for the United States government so far as possible without borrowing: and on the basis of equitable taxation " All preparations, the President urged, should be made In such way as not to check the flow of war supplies to 4 he nation* already in the field against Germany. Measures to accomplish all these ends the president told Congress, would be presented with the best thought of the executive departments which will be charged with the con. duct of the war. and he besought con slderatlon for them in that light. President Wilson's appearance be fore Congress was marked by a scene of the greatest enthusiasm ever shown sfnee he began the practice of deliver ing his addresses In person. Crowds on the outside of the Capitol cheered him frantically as he entered and as he left. Congress roared cheer after cheer In an outburst of enthusiasm.

The Attorney General rules that ! under the law.
