Bell. 486 Dial. 431 THURSDAY EVENING, WILSON URGED TO DECLARE WAR ON AUSTRIANS American Defense Society Wants U. S. to Send Ten Million Men Across Seas New York, Nov. I.—President Wil son was urged to call a special ses sion of Congress at an early date to declare war on Austria in a resolu tion adopted by the trustees of the American Defense Society at a spe cial meeting here yesterday. The resolution further urges the transportation to Italy of a contin gent of American troops and war material, using all ships possible, in cluding seized Austrian ships. It sets forth that "the complete defeat of Italy's armies will endanger her national existence and imperil the issue of the war for democracy," and that "to preserve Italy's exist ence and to maintain her efficiency as a fighting force immediate moral, military and economic aid from her allies is imperative." The resolution declares that "Ger man agents throughout Italy have steadily emphasized the fact that the United States has never yet seen fit to declare war against Austria-Hun gary, Italy's great and neighboring enemy," and that "it is patent to ".lie entire world that German and Aus trian troops are working as a unit for the same end which America has de clared she will not endure." A copy of the resolution was tele graphed to President Wilson. Prior to its adoption the trustees adopted a minute which declares that an inconclusive peace would be nil insult to those who have fallen iri the war and "a betrayal of the liv ing." The sending of an "overwhelming force" to France, because. It says, "the man men we send the fewer will be slain." is counseled in the minute, which declares Jhat, consid ering the great numbers of men poured into the war in the last three years from England and France, the sending of as many as 10,000,000 from its population of more than 100,000,000 would be no more than this country's proportionate share. The minute urges that Congress at its next session be asked to declare that a state of war exists also be tween the United States and Bul garia and Turkey. SOLDIERS' PENSIONS IN CANADA Ottawa.
