"Gentlemen *> ithe Congress:
"Kight nyttft-ta have elapsed "since

you. They ilMtve been months crowded
with evctoi^ of immense and grave
signifies tmc. lor us. 1 shall not undertake
to dctr.il or even to summar^
those events. The practical
particulars of thc pail \vc have play
<*t3 in them will be laid before you in
t the reports of the executive departm-ernts.
1 shall discuss only our prts c-Nib
Hit look upon these vast affairs,
' aWpresent duties, and the immediate
moans of accomplishing; the objects
we shall hold always in view.
^ shall not go bach to debate the
causes of the war. The in fob'ruble

have long* since become too grosslj

"l-Yoin one 'point ol view it is not

matter. I ik> n<ot doubt that 'lire Anierican
people know what the war is
A about and what sort of an oUtronw
they will retard i\< a reali/.atrvn of
their purpose in it. As a nation, we
arc united in :<pirit and intention. I

otherwise. ' 'Hear the voices of dissent who

"But Tom another point of view,
believe that it is necessary to sty
plainly what -we hear at tile seat of

I #
what part we mean to play in tin

Two Things.
"1 believe that I speak for then
when I say two things: First, that
tl is intolerable thing of which th*
masters of (Germany have shown as
the ugly face, this menace of combined
)A gate and force which we now]
I mo so clearly as the German power,
n thing: without conscience or honor
cr capacity for convonanted peace,
must he crushed vind, if it he not utterly
brought to an end, at least shut
out from the friendly inttercourse of
! the nations; and, second, that when
this thing and its power are indeed
'"defeated arid the time comes that wo
can discuss peace when the German
I.-vjiit-- luivc fi]iuKUMiit;n wno.se word
e can believe and when these spokes
ien are ready in the name of their

of the nations as to what shall
snceforth be the bases of law and of
rvenant for the life of the world
shall be willing and glad to pay
ic Mill price for peace, and pay h
vgrvidingly. We know what that (
'ice will be. It will be full, impar- (

"And our attitude and purpose

of a like kind. We intend no wrong

most sacred throughout our life as a
nation.
German People Misksd.
"The people of Germany arc being
told by the men whom they now permit
to deceive them and to act as
their masters that they are fighting
for the very life and existence of
their empire, a war of -desperate sel;defense
against deliberate aggression.
Nothing could the more grossly
or wantonly false, and we must seek
by the utmost openness and candor as
to our leal aims to convince them of
its falseness. We are in fact fighting |
for their emancipation from fear,
along with our own?from the fear
as wel as from the fact of unjust attack
by neighbors or rivals or schemers
after world empire. No one is;
thicatening the existence or the in- j
dependence or the peaceful enterprise
of the German empire.
Might Ostracize Germany.
"The worst that can happen to tlr* I
dotrime.rit of 'the German people i. j
this, that if they should still, after
the wai is over, continue to he obliged
to live under ambitious and intriguing
mastei s indent to disturb the I
peat> of the world, men or classes o*
men whom the other peoples of the
world could not trust it might be
impossible to admit them to the partnership
of nations which must henceforth
guarantee the world's peace.
That partnership must be a partnership
<of peoples, not a mere partneis)iip
of governments. It might be
impossible, also, in such untoward
circumstances, to admit Germany to
tlhf. Tree economic intercourse which
must inevitably spiing out of the
other partnerships of a real peace.
Elut there would he no aggression u
> th.at; and such a situation, inevitable
because of distrust, would in the very
nature of thimrv; snonrv or P.itnr rnn-o
itself, by processes which would assuredly
set in.
Must Not Wrong Teutons.
"The wrongs, the very de~p
wrongs, committed in this war will
have to be righted. That of course,
dlut they cannot and must not be
righted by the commission of simik
wrongs against Germany and her allies.
The world will not permit tk&
commission of similar wrongs as :?
means of reparation and settlement.
I Statesmen must by this time have
learned that the opinion of the
world is everywhere wide await
and fully comprehends the issues invelved.
No reprcsentatve of any sel:
governed nation will dare disregarded
to by attempting any such covenants
ol selfishness and compromise awere
entered into at the congress of
Vienna. The thought of the pHuir.
people here and everywhere throughj
out the world, the people who enjoyl
ed no privilege and have ver*: '
| simple and unsophisticated standard >
of right and wrong, is the air alv j
governments must henceforth breathe j
if they would live. It is in the fu"- ,
disclosing light of that thought thai1
all policies must be conceived and
executed in this midday hour of the j
world's life. Gei man rulers have j
been able to upset the peace of the i
world only bceause the German pec- ;
pie were not suffered under their j
titleage to share the comradeship <?r
the other peoples of the world either
in thought or in purpose. They wove
allowed to have no opinion of thenown
which might be set up as a ru?'?
of conduct for those who exercised
authority over them. Hut the congres*
that concludes this war will feel the;
full strength of the tides that ru
now in the hearts and consciences of'
free men everywhere. Its conclu
I
sions will ruv? with those tides.
Russians Need Truth.
"All these things have been tin*
from the very beginning of this stupendous
war; and I can -.not help '
thinking Mat if they had been madeplain
at the very outset to sympathy
and enthusiasm of the Russian people ]
might have been once for all enlisted 1
[>n the side of the Allies, suspicion and *
listrust swept away, and a real am*I *
lusting union of purpose effected. (
Had they believed these things at tho <.
?rery moment of their revolution and (
.ad they been confirmed in that beeif
since, the sad reverses which
lave recently marked the progress of
heir affairs towards an ordered and
.table government of free men might
?ave been avoided. The Russian peo- y
>le have been poisoned by the very I
ame falsehoods that have k^pt the s
lerman people in the dark, and the I
mison has been administered by the \
cry same hands. The only possible 1
ntidote is the truth. It cannot be \
ttered too plainly or too often. 1

IN GREAT SECRECY
Troop Movement Has Been in
Progress for Several
Weeks Now
OTHER UNITS TO GO
AS FAST AS READY
National Army Troops Which
Probably Will Go Over
First.
\Va. hington. Announcement of
.m rival in franco of the first National
Guard units give the first official
r.otio< that an extensive troop movement
has been accomplish nl despite
hortih submarines, shortage of troop
ami .-upniy ships, and other obstacles,
lit v.ilhout the loss of a itvin.
Thou'a t Is ot re or. have been movTil

>nnt;y, 1 aided on transports and
(Y!y landed in f rente without any
. gvnc.td hnowiodgc i)t tin ?'acis hav*
(i .g been disclosed > the country at
hi i go.
War Department officials were gr vl
i'ied at Genera! IVrshing's decision
to announce the arrival of the National
Guard forces, but pornus-ion to
publish the designations of thv> giiai w
( units now at the training* centers
Franco still is withhold. Unless General
IV rshing sees l it to release th??
information, there is no present prospect
of its publication.
Going on for some time
It can be stated, however, that the
brief dispatch of today covers a large
movement that has been in progress
for several weeks. The next stage
will be actual occupation of front line
trenches.
Guard units to be sent later will ne
more sectional in character, the group
ing of the old divisional organization
having been adhered to as closely as
possible. The entire country, however,
shares in the honor of having its representative
units now at the front in
th<5 world war. . ?''
Fitrst Ready, First to Go
Secretary Baker has announced
that as fast as men ami ships are
ready they will be combined and additional
forces sent to join General Pershing.
By this means guard divisions
first to show themselves fitted for
transpoi tation to the training camps
in Franco will be first to go.
As to National Army
It appears possible that the regrouping
o!" National Army divisions,
made necessary by the use of drafted
men to fill up depleted National
Guard divisions, will detemine the
order of the first National Aimy
units to be sent over. In that regrouping,
two National Army divisions
were formed, ont< representing
the whole Kastern section of the conn
try and one equally representative oi
all Middle Western States. All of the
Far West is already in the National
Army division at Camp Lewis, Amen
can Lake, Washington.
If the same policy is followed with
relation to the National Army that
has been followed in connection with
the National Guard, it seems likely
that these throe divisions, other things
such as training a.ml cqibprnont being
equal, would he the first of the Nats
nal At my to go ove \ as every
Mat" in the I'.ion would then have
.?lM.:onal Army mm at the front as it
now has National Guardsmen.
