Presidrnt Wilson Makes Unex-
pected Address to Con-
gress on Subject.
APPROVES THE BRITISH STAND
Program of Fourteen Articles Pre-
sented to Which Germany Must
Agree Before Peace Is Restored.
With a statement of war aims, ap-
proving the recent declaration of the
British premier, Lloyd George, Presi-
dent Wilson recently presented to Con-
gress and the world a specific decla-
ration of America's war alms and the
terms on which it would be possible
to make peace with Germany.
An Answer to Germany.
The President spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Congress: Once
more, as repeatedly before, the spokes-
men of the Central Empires have In-
dicated their desiro to discuss the ob-
jects of the war and the possible basis
of a general peace.
"Parleys have been in progress at
Brest-liitovak between Russian repre-
sentatives and representatives of the
Central Powers, to which the atten-
tion of all the belligerents lias been
Invited, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether it may be possible to
extend these parloys Into a general
conference with regard to terms of
peace and settlement.
"The ltussian representatives pre-
sented not only a perfectly definite
statement of the principles upon which
they would be willing to concludo
peace, but also an equally definite pro-
gram of the concrete application of
those principles.
and that the people for whom he
speaks think them right and impera
tive as he does.
Russia's Voice Thrills the World.
"There is, moreover, a voice calling
for these definitions of principles and
of purposes, which, it seems to me,
more thrilling and more compelling
than any of the many moving voices
with which the troubled air of the
world is fijled. It is the voice of the
Russian people.
"They are prostrate and all but help-
less, it would seem, before the grim
power of Germany, which has hither-
to known no relenting and no pity.
Their power, apparently, is shattered.
And yet their soul is not subservient.
They will not yield either in principle
or in action.
"Their conception of what is right,
of what is humane and honorable for
them to accept, has been stated with
a frankness, a largeness of view, a
generosity of spirit and a universal
human sympathy which musn chal-
will serve to restore confidence ainont,
the nations in the laws which they
have themselves set and determined
for the government of their relations
with one another. Without this heal-
ing act the whole structure and valid-
ity of international law is forever
impaired.
8. All French territory should ho
freed and the invaded portions re-
stored, and the wrong done to Franco
by Prussia in 1S71 in the matter of
Alsace-l/oraine, which has unsettled
the peace of the world for nearly titty
years, should be righted, in order that
peace once more he made secure in
the interest of all.
ti. A readjustment of the frontiers
of Italy should be effected along clear-
ly reasonable lines of nationality.
10. The peoples of Austria-Hun-
gary, whose place among the nations

lenge the admiration of every friend ! sured, should be accorded the freest
of mankind; and they have refused to opportunity of autonomous develop-
compound their ideals or deseit others
that they themselves may be safe.
They call on us to say what it is that
we desire; in what, if anything, our
purpose and our spirit differ from
thoirs.
America Should Answer.
"And 1 believe that the people of
the United States would wish me to
respond, with utter simplicity and
frankness. Whether their present
leaders believa it or not, it is our
heartfelt desire that some way may be
opened whereby we may be privileged
to assist the people of Russia to at-
tain their utmost hope of liberty and
ordered peace.
"It will be our wish and purpose
that the processes of peace, when
they are begun, shall be absolutely
open and that thoy shall involve and
permit henceforth no secret under-
standings of any kind. The day of
conquest and aggrandizement is gone
by; so is also the day of secret cove
nants entered into in the interest of
particular governments and likely at
some unlooked for moment to upset
the peaco of the world.
"It is this happy fact now clear to
] the view of every public man whoso
rhe representatives of the Central j thoughts do not still linger^in an age
Powers, on their part, presented '
outline of settlement which, if much
less definite, seemed susceptible of
liberal interpretation under their spe-
cific program of practical terms was
fcdded.
Germans Offered Nothing.
"The German program proposed no
concessions at all, either to sover-
eignty of Russia or to tho preferences
of tlie population with whose fortunes
It dealt, hut meant, In a word, that
the Central Empires were to keep
every foot of territory their armed
forces had occupied every province,
avery city, every point of vantage—
as a permanent addition to their ter-
ritories and their power.
"It Is a reasonable conjecture that
that is dead and gone which makes it
possible for every nation whose pur-
poses are consistent with justlco and
the peace of the world to avow now
or at any other time the objects it
has in view.
Why America Is in the War.
"We entered this war because vio-
lations of right had occurred which
touched us to the quick and made the
life of our own people impossible un-
less they were corrected and the world
secured once for all against their re-
currence.
"What we demand in this war,
therefore, is nothing peculiar to our-
selves. It is that tile world be made
fit and safe to live in; and particu-
larly that it be made safe for every

who have begun to feel the force of
their own peoples' thought and pur-
pose, while tho concrete terms of ac-
tual settlement came from the mili-
tary leaders who have no thought but
to keep what they have got. Tho ne-
gotiations have been broken off. The
Russian representatives were sincere
and in earnest. They cannot enter-
tain such proposals of conquest and
domination.
German People Have No Voice,
"The whole incident is full of signi-
ficance. It is also full of perplexity.
"With whom are the Russian repre-
sentatives dealing?
"For whom are tho representatives
of the Central Empire speaking?
"Are they speaking for the major-
ities of their respective parliaments
or for the minority parties, that mili-
tary and imperialistic minority which
has so far dominated their whole pol-
icy and controlled the affairs of Tur-
key and of the Balkan states which
have felt obliged to become tlieir as-
sociates in this war?

has been audience to both unrecon-
ciled and in open and hopeless con-
tradiction. The o are very serious
and pregnant questions. Upon the an-
swer to them depends tho peace of
the world.
Challenge Answered With Candor.
"But whatever the result of tho par-
leys at Drest-Litovsk, whatever the
conclusions of counsel and of purpose
in the utterances of the spokesmen of
the i i ntral Umpires, they have again
attempted to acquaint tho world with
their objects in the war and have
again challenged their adversaries to

11. Rumania, Serbia and Montene-

relations of the several Balkan states

friendly counsel along historically es-
tablished lines of allegiance and na-
tionality, and international guarantees
of the political and economic indepen-

several Balkan states should be en-

GERARD SUMS UP SITUATION
"Germans Will Stop at Nothing, anu
the Only Thing They Respect Is
horce" — Huns' Capacity for
Cruelty Told by Whitlock.
Aroused by the indignation shown
by the whole world over the ruthless
deportations of the people in Bel-
gium and France, socialist deputies
in the reichstag protested against
the continuance of the practice. Am-
bassador Gerard's evidence shows the
extent of the horror.
In the Nordileutsehe Allgemelne
Zeiuing of December 2, 1016, the fol-
lowing protests against the deporta-
tion of Belgians to work in German,*
appeared, made, respectively, by So-
cialist Deputy Hnase and Deputy Dltt-
mann, members of the reichstag:
"Thousands of workmen in the oc-
cupied territory have been compelled
to forced labor; we earnestly ask the
government to restore to these work-
men their liberty, especially In liel
glum. In truth, we (the Germans) find
no sympathy in neutral countries: even
the pope has made a protest against
this procedure, and several neutral
states have done the same. Common
sense Itself demands that we abandon
this procedure which moreover is in
opposition to the Hague convention to
which we have agreed."
"In opposition to the secretary of
state, I must recall that when former-
ly the Belgian workman who hud Med
to Holland returned to Belgium, Gov
ernor General von Bisslng promised
that these Belgian workmen would un-
der no circumstances be deported to
Germany. This reassuring promise
has not been kept."
Ambassador Gerard's interesting tes-
timony appears in his recent book:
Ambassador Gerard's Evidence.

America in 1010) Impressed upon me

"In regard to these essential rectifi-
cations of wrong and assertions of

"We cannot be separated in inter-

ly that unless justice be done

Peace Only on This Basis.
"The program of the world's peace,
therefore, is our program; and that
program, the only possible program,
as wo see it, is this:
1. Open covenants of peace, open-
ly arrived at, after which there shall
bo no private international under-
standings of any kind, but diplomacy
shall proceed always frankly and in
the public view.
2. Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territorial
waters, alike in peace and in war, ex-
cept as the seas may be closed iu
whole or in part by international ac-
tion for the enforcement of interna-
No More Economic Barriers.
3. The removal, so far as possible
of all economic barriers and the es-
tablishment of an equality of trade
conditions among all the nations con-
senting to the peace and associating
themselves for its maintenance.
4. Adequate guarantees given and
taken that national armaments will !
be reduced to the lowest points con
sistent with domestic safety.
5. A free, open mill led and abso
lutely impartial adjustment of all
colonial claims based upon a strict
observance of the principle that in
determining all such questions of sov-
ereignty the interests of tho popula-
tions concerned must have equal
weight with the equitable claims of
sort of settlement they would deem the government whose title is to be
Just and satisfactory.
"There is no good reason why that
challenge should not be responded to
and responded to with the utmost
candor. We did not wait for it. Not
once, but again and again, we have
laid our whole thought and purpose be-
fore the world, not in general terms
only, but each time with sufficient
definition to make it clear what sort
of definitive terms of settlement must
necessarily spring out of them

continue to fight until they are ach-
I ieved; but only because we wish the
right to prevail and desire a just and
stable peace, such as can be secured
only by removing the chief provoca-
tions to war, which this program does
remove.
Germans Equal, but Not Masters.
"We have no jealousy of German
greatness and there is nothing in this
program that impairs it. We grudge
her no achievement or distinction of
learning or of pacific enterprise such
as have made her record very bright
and very enviable.
"We do not wish to injure her or
to block in any way her legitimate in-
fluence of power. We do not wish to
light her either with arms or with
hostile arrangements of trade, if she
is willing to associate herself with us
and the other peace loving nations of
the world in covenants of justice and
law and fair dealing.
"We wish Germany only to accept a
place of equality among the peoples
of the world—the new world in which
we now live—instead of a place of
mastery.
"Neither do we presume to suggest
to her any alteration or modification
A her institutions. But It Is neces-
sary, we must frankly say, and neces-
sary as a preliminary to any intelli-
gent dealings with her on our part,
that we should know for whom her
spokesmen speak when they speak to
us. whether tor the Reichstag major-
ity or for the military party, and the
men whose creed is imperial domina-
tion.
"These Terms Can't Be Misunder-
stood."
"We have spokeu now. surely, in
terms too concrete to admit of any
further doubt or question.
"An evident principle runs through
tho whole program I have outlined.
many in thus carrying a great part of
the male population of Belgium into
virtual slavery had roused great indig-
nation In America. As the revered
Cardinal Farley said to me a few days
before mv departure, 'You have to go
back to the times of the Modes and
the Persians to find a like example of
a whole people carried into bondage.'
"Mr. Grew had mnde representations
about this to the chancellor and, on my
return. I Immediately took up the
question.
"I was informed that it wns a mili-
tary measure, that Ludendorf had
feared that the British would break
through and overrun Belgium and that
the military did not propose to have a
hostile population at their backs who
might cut the rail lines of commum
cation, telephones and telegraphs, and
that for this reason the deportation
had been decided on. I wns, however,
told I would be given permission to
visit these Belgians. The passes, nev
ertheless. which alone made such visit
lng possible were not delivered until a
few days before I left Germany.
Belgians Forced to Make Munitions.
"Several of these Belgians who were
put to work In Berlin managed.to get
away and come to see me. They gave
me a burrowing account of how they
hn«5 been selred in Belgium and made
to work In Germany nt making muni
tlons to be used probably against their
own friends.
"I said to the chancellor. 'There are
Belgians employed in making shells
contrary to all rules of war and the
Hague conventions.* He said, 'I do
not believe It.' I said, 'My automobile
is at the door. I can take you. In four
minutes, to where 30 Belgians are
working on the manufacture of shells.'
But he did not find time to go.

the Germans will stop at nothing to
win this war. and that the only thing
they respect is force."—Jaines W. Ge-

A similar point of view Is expressed
In an article entitled "Vae Victls"

jects of the war. lies with Germany
and her allies. The issues of life and
death hang upon these definitions. No

Old Men and Boys Taken.
The news dispatches indicate that
the deportation and forced labor of
Belgians still continue. In a dispatch
from Havre (New York Evening Post.
September 13, 1017) It is stated: "The
removal of the civilian population of
Belgium continues, according to ad-
vices received here. The town of Rou-
lers, immediately behind the battle
line in Plunders, has been evacuated
completely. Ostend is being emptied
gradually, and two thousand persons
already have been sent from Courtrai.
In another dispatch from Havre
(Washington Post, September 24, 1017)
it is stated that "the German military
authorities at Bruges. Belgium, are
conscripting forcibly all the boys and
men of that city between the ages of
fourteen and sixty to work in munition
factories and shipyards. The rich and
poor, shopkeepers and workmen, all
are being taken, only the school teach-
ers, doctors, and priests escaping."
German Officer Rebuked Men.
The following "Order of the Day"
shows how the town of Huy escaped
the fate of so many Belgium and
French towns. Drunken German sol-
diers were frightened and began to
shoot men and burn houses. The
commanding officer condemned this be-
cause it was not done by his order and
because two German soldiers were
wounded. It is evident that massacres
and arson were permitted only when
commanded by the officers.
"Last night a shooting affray took
place. There is no evidence that the
inhabitants of the towns had any arms
in their houses, nor is there evidence
that the people took part in the shoot-
ing; on the contrary, it seems that the
soldiers were under the influence of
alcohol, and began to shoot In a sense-
less fear of a hostile attack.
"The behavior of the soldiers during
the night, with very few exceptions,
makes a scandalous impression.
"It is highly deplorable when officers
or noncommissioned officers set houses
on fire without permission or order of
the commanding, or, as the case may
be. the senior officer, or when by their
attitude they encourage the rank and
file to burn and plunder.
"The miserable behavior of the men
caused a noncommissioned officer and
a private to be seriously wounded by
German bullets.
".MAJOR VOX BASSEWITZ."
Report of Minister Whitlock.
"One interesting result of the depor-
tations remains to be noted, a result
that once more placf^s In relief the
German capacity for blundering, al-
most as great as the German capacity
for cruelty. Until the deportations
were begun there was no Intense ha-
tred on the part of the lower classes,
i. e., the workingmen and the peasants.
The old Germans of the Landsturm
had been quartered In Flemish homes;
they und the inmates spoke nearly the
same language; they got along fairly
well; they helped the women with the
work, the poor and the humble having
none of those hatreds of patriotism
that are among the privileges of the
upper classes. It is conceivable that
the Flemish population might have
existed under German rule; It wns
Teutonic in its origin and anti-French
always. But now the Germans have
changed all that.
"They have dealt a mortal blow to
any prospect they may ever have bad
of being tolerated by the population
of Flanders; In tearing away from
nearly every humble home In the land
a husband and a father or a son and
brother they have lighted a tire of
hatred that will never go out; they
have brought home to every heart In
the land, in a way that will Impress
Its horror indelibly on the memory of
three generations, a realization of
what German methods mean, not. as
with the early atrocities, in the heat
of passion and the first lust of war,
but by one of those deeds that make
one despair of the future of the hu-
man race, a deed coldly planned, studi-
ously matured, and deliberately and
systematically executed, a deed so
cruel that German soldiers are said
to have wept in Its execution, nnd so
monstrous that even German officers
are now said to be ashamed.

I have been often called upon for a

I have neither the desire nor the

which have heated my blood through
the two and a half years that I have
spent In work for the relief of these
10,000.000 people.
The sight of the destroyed homes
and cities, the widowed nnd father-
less. the destitute, the physical misery
of a people but partially nourished at
best, the deportation of men by tens
of thousands to slavery In German
mines und. factories, the execution of
men nnd women for paltry effusions
of their loyalty to their country, the
sacking of every resource through
financial robbery, the battening of
armies on the slender produce of the
country, the denudation of the country
of cattle, horses, and textiles; nil these
things we had to witness, dumb to
help other than by protest nnd sympa-
thy. during this long and terrible time,
and still these are not the events of
battle heat, but the effects of a grind-
ing heel of a race demanding the mas-
tership of the world.
