Calmly, but with his usual unassailable i • logic he urged an Immediate dec t laration of war against Autria- •) Hungary. In moving words • that brought cheers from the * distinguished gathering which i listened to him, he branded v the dual monarchy as a vassal r of Germany and, as such, an e enemy of the United States. The president added that the 1 same logic would lead aUo to a a declaration against Bulgaria t and Turkey. They also are d tools of Germany. c "But.” he continued, “they t arfc mere tools and do not yet „ stand in the direct path of our ( • necessary action.’* t President Wilson's utteranc es were greeted with tremend- t ous applause and cheering from 1 the floor of the house ur>d from I the galleries. . Ambassadors, ] members of the supreme court, a members of the cabinet and the < crowded row* of citizens ex- r pressed their hearty approval. r President Wilson asked for Immediate action- He got it. <■ Congressional consideration t was started at once at both j ends of the capitol, and it is a j foregone conclusion that war , will be declared on Austria, 1 probably within a fortnight, i The declaration may come next $ week; or it may be delayed by , some possible pretext until the < holidays. j IOYS AT FORT CASWELL EXPRESS APPRECIATION Vera Glad to Sx Th.
