D AITDAA TC T ivfiJUjJYisriiso President Wilson's Address President 'Wilson's pddrcss to Con areas today U as follows: Gentlemen of tho Congress: Tho year that has elapsed (since I List stood before you to fulfill my constltU' tlonal duty to glvo tho Congress from time to time Information on the state of the Union has been so crowded with ovents, great processes and gicat ic sults that I cannot hope to give jou mi adequate picture of Its transactions or of the fur-reaching charges which, have been wrought In tho hfo of our nation and of tho world. You have yoursoheg witnessed these things, as I have. It Is too tspon to assess them; and we who stand In the midst of them and are part of them are less qualified than men of another generation will be to say what they mean or even what they hae boon. But some great outstanding facta are unmistakable and constitute, In a sense, part of the public business with which It Is our duty to deal. To state them is to set the stage for the legislate o and executive nctlon which must grow out of them and which we have jet to shape and determine. Unparalleled Troop MoTement A j ear ago wo had sent 145,018 men erscas. Since then we have sent 1.050,ol3, an average of 102,512 each month; tho number. In fact, llslng In May last to 215,951, In June to 278,760, in July to S07.182 and continuing to reach "similar figures In August und September In AUgust'SO.uTO and In September 257,438. No 'such movement of troops eer took place before, across 3000 miles of sea, followed-by adequate equipment and supplies, and carried safely through extraordinary dangers of attack dangers which wore aliko strange and Infinitely dlfllcult to guard against. In all this movement only 738 men were lost by enemy attacks C30 of whom were upon a single English transport which was sunk near tho Ork ney Islands. I need not tell you what lay back of this great movement of men and mate rial. It Is not Invidious to say that back of It lay a supporting oiganlzatlon of the Industries of tho country and of nil Its productive acttltles. more complete, more thorough In method and effective In results, more spirited and unanimous In purpose and effort, than any other great belligerent had eer been ablo to effect. Acted With rromplnm We profited greatly by the experience of tho nations which had already been engaged for nearly three years la tho exigent and exacting business, their ever' resource and ccry executive pro. ficlency taxW to tho utmost, We were the pupils. ,Rut wo learned quickly and acted with a promptness and a rcadlnVss of co-operation that justify our great pride that wo were, able to selve the world with unparalleled energy and quick accomplishment. But it Is not tho physical scale and executive efficiency of preparation, sup ply, equipment and dispatch that I would dwell upon, but tho mettle and quality of the officers and men we sent over and of the Bailors who kept tho seas, and the spirit of the nation that stood behind them. $0 soldiers or sailors ever proved themselves more quickly ready for.the test of battle or acquitted themselves with more splendid courage and achieve ment when put to the tost. Those of us wjho played some part In directing ithe great processes' by which ,the war was pushed Irresistibly forward to the final triumph may now, forget all that and delight our thoughts with the story of what ourmt'n did,. ifrare OlUrers and Men Their qdlcera understood tlie grim and exacting task (they had undertaken and performed with audacity, efficiency and unhesitating courage that touch tjie story of convoy and battle With imperishable jtigttaatlo.-at evyrpjriijinvwnwne tn their chiefs, Pershing and Sims, down to the youngest lieutenant; nnd their men were worthy of them such men as hardly need to be commanded, and go to their terrible adventuro blithely nnd with tho quick Intelligence of thoso who know Just what It Is they would accom. pllshf I am pioud to be the follow -counltj-man of men of such stuff and valor. Those of us wljo staj cd at homo did our duly; tho war(could, not have been won or the gallant men who fought It gien their opportunity to win It otheiwiso; but for many a long day wo shall thlnic oursehes "accurs'd wo were not there, and hold our manhoods cheap while any speaks that fought" with theso at St. Mlhlel or Thierry. Tho memory of those days of triumphant battle will go with these foitunato men to their graves; and each will have his favorite memory. "Old men forget ; yet all shall bo forgot, but he'll remember with ad vantage vjhat feats he did that day!" Turned Tide of Ilattle What wo all thank God for with deepest gratitude Is that our' men went In force Into the line of battle Just at the critical momerit wlicn the whole fate of the world seemed to hang In the balance and threw their fresh strength Into the ranks of freedom- In time to turn the whole tide and sweep of the fateful struggle turned It once for all, so that thencforth It was back, back, back for Iheir enemies. Always back, never again forward! After that It was only a scant four rribnths before tho commanders of the Central Empire's knew themselves beaten ; and now their very empires are In liquidation! Spirit of United Nation And throughout It all how fine the spirit of tho nation- was ! What unity of purpose, what untiring zeal! What elevation of purpose ran through all Its splendid display of strength, Its untir ing accomplishment. I lme said that those of ua who stayed at homo to do the work of organization and supply will always w Ish that wo had been with the men whom we sustained by our labor; but wo can never be ashamed. fTKhas been an Inspiring thing to be here In the midst of fine men who had turned aside from every private interest -ot their own and devoted the whole of their trained capacity o the tasks that supplied the sinews of the' whole great undertaking! The patriotism, the unsel fishness, the thoroughgoing devotion and distinguished capacity that marked their toilsome labors, day after day, month after month, have made them fit mates and cdmrades of the men in the trenches and on the sea. t Mighty Industrial Army And not the men hero In Washing ton only. .They have but directed the vast achievement. Throughout Innu merable factories, upon Innumerable farms, In the depths of coal mines and Iron mines and copper mines, wherever tho stuffs of Industry were to be ob tatned and prepared; lir the shipyards, on the tallways, -at the do.cks. on tho sea, In every labbr that was needed to sustain the battlellnes, mer have vied with each other to do their part and" do It well. They can look any, man-at-arms In the face and say we also strove to win and gave Uie besf that was In 4js to make our fleets and armies sure of their triumph. And what shall we siy of the wo men" of their Instant intellegcncc, quickening every task that tljey touched ; their capacity for organization and co operation', which gave their fiction disci pline and enhanced the effectiveness of everything they attempted! their apti tude at tasks to which they had never before set their hands (.their utter self sacrifice alike In what they djd and In what the" gave? Their 'contribution, "to JHJlp.BTt ruH litwoai ttftrtiMl,'rayV4a TXTTM7T uiiiriv to Congress a new luster to tho annals of American womanhood, Tl'io least trlbuto wo can pay them is to make them tho equals of men In political rights as they have pnncd themselves their equals in ovcry field of practical work they hae entered, whither for themselves or for their coun try. These great days of completed Jthlevcnicnt would be sadly marred were wc to omit that a'.', of justice. Women Lead in Ik'onomlrt Besides tho Immense practical Menkes they hao tendered, the women of tho country have been the moving splilts In tho systematic economies bj which our people have oluntarily assisted to supply, the suffering peoples of the woild and the aimics upon eery front with food and everything else that wo had that might scro the common cause. The detnlls of such a story can neer bo fully written, but we cairy them at our hearts and thank God that wo can say that wc are tho kinsmen of such Triumph I, Complete And now we are suro of the great triumph for which cciy sacriflco was made. It has come, come In Its com pleteness, and with the prido and In spiration of these days of achlecnient quick within us wc turn to the tasks of peace again a peace secure ugainstHhe violence of h responsible monarchy and ambitious 'military coteiles anj-'malvo ready- for a new order, for new founda tlonsW Justice and'falr" dealing? '" Seek lulerffatlonal JnIIi Wo aro about to give order and or ganization to this puace not only for ourselves but for the other peoples of tho woild as well, -0 far as they will suffer us to servo them. It is Inter national Justice that we seek, not do mestic safely merely. Our thoughts hac dwelt of late upon Europe, upon Asia, upon the Xcar and the Par East, vciy little upon tho acts of peace and accommodation that wait to be per formed at our own doois. Whllo we are adjusting oui wlations with tho lest of tho woild, Is it not of capital lmpoitanco that we should clear away all grounds or mlsundci standing with' our immediate neglhbois and glvo proof of the frlendthtp we really feel? I hope that the members of the b'cnati wills permit me to speak once moie of tho unratified tceaty of friendship and adjustment with tho republic of Colom- 1 bla. I very earnestly urge upon them an early and favorable action upon that vital matter. I believe that they will feel, with me, that the stage of affairs Is now set for such action as will not only be Just but generous and In the spirit ot the new age upon which we have so happily entered. Problems of l'euce So fur as our domestic affaiis are concerned, the problem of our return to peaco Is a problem of economic and industilal readjustment. That problem lsess serious for us than It may turn out to be for the nations which havo suffered the disarrangements and the losses of war longer than we. Our peo ple, moreover, do not want-to be coach, ed and led. They know their own busl ness. are quick and resourceful at every readjustment, definite In purpose, and self-reliant in action. , No "lteeonitructlon" .Scheme Any leading strings we might Eeek to put them In would speedily become hopelessly tangled because they would pay no attention to them, and go their own way. All that we can do as their legislative and executive servants Is to mediate tho procjees of- change here, there and elsewhere as we may, I have heard much counsel as to the plans that should ho formed and personally con ducted to 'a happy consummation, but from no quarter hae I seen any general scheme of "reconstruction" emerge ,wliteh,T,thuij;tatlttllk.ely we could folfjp .
