"We must Sl| jspeak, a<?t and serve together." Text of Address. leaddress follows: fy fellow eountrymen: . •tThe entrance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many : problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration ito consumer. , "This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are han- addbressing this word to the farmer* of the country and to alt who work op the farms: The supreme need of our own nation and of the nations withwhleh we.are oo-operattng is an abundance of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs. \ The importance of an adequate food supply, especially for the. present year, ts superlative. 'KVithout abundant -food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we halve embarked will break down and fall. Hold Fate of Nations. "The world's food reserves are low. Not,only during the present emergency but for some time after peace shall have come both our own people and a large proportion of the people of Eu­ rope must rely on the harvests in America. "Upon the farmers of this country therefore, in large measure, -rests tbe fate of the war and the fate of the nations. May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the production of their land or that will bring about fhe most ef­ fectual co-operation in the sale and distributioU of .their products? "The time is short. It is of the most Imperative importance that everything possible be done and done immediate­ ly to make sure of large harvests. I call upon young men aud >old alike and upon the able-bodied boys of the land to accept and act upon this duty--to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pains and rib labor Is lacking in this great matter. "I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant food­ stuffs as well as cotton. Trade to Be Unhampered. "The course of trade shall be as un­ hampered as it Is possible to make It, and there shall be no unwarranted manipulation of the nation's food sup­ ply by those who handle It on its way .iv w OIL ON THE WATERS * "vjfj. i ' ** „ • and settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal, with regard to them. *ffe are rapidly putgng our navy upon an effective war footing and are about to create and equip a great army, but these are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. "There is not a §ingte selfish ele­ ment, so Car as I can see, in the cause we are fighting for. We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. "These, then, are the things we must do and do well, besides fighting-- the things without which mere fight­ ing would be fruitless: . "We must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen not only,* but also for a large part of the nattons with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose sides we shall be fighting. Must Supply Ships. "We must supply ships by the hun­ dreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, subma­ rines or no submarines, what will every day be needed there, and abundant materials out of our fields and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe and equip our own forces on land and sea but also to . clothe and support our people for whom the gallant fellow's under arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufactories there in raw materials; coal to keep the fires going in ships at sea and in the fur­ naces across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammunition im* if? out railroads back of the fighting fronts; locomotives and rolling stock to take the place of those every day going to pieces; mules, horses, eattie for labor and for military service; everything with which the people of England and Prance and Italy and , Russia have usually supplied them­ selves, but cannot now afford the men. tbe material's or the machinery to make. ' " " fti \ 5 Need Greater Efficiency. S- fit is evident to every thinking man f &st our industries, «n farms, in ship- pards, in the miuus. in the factories, must be made mere prolific and more efficient than ever, and that they must be more economically managed and > better adapted to the particular re­ quirements of our task than they have •been; and what I want to say is that the mep and the women who devote their thought and their energy to these things will be serving the country and ^ conducting the fight for peace and free- 'dpin just as truly and just as effective­ ly, as. the men on the battlefield or in h , tbe trenches. Appeal to Farmers, "Thousands, nay, hundreds ,of thou- *yands of men otherwise liable to mili- s tary service, will of right and of neces­ sity be excused from that service and ^assigned to the fundamental, sustain­ ing work of the fields and factories, «nd mines, and they will be as much 'part of the great patriotic forces of t ,*he nation as the men under fire. £r "I take the liberty, therefore, of FRENCH CHURCHES IN RUINS dling our foodstuffs or our raw ronte- terials.of manufacture Or the products of our mills and factories: The eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This is your opportunity for sig­ nal service, efficient and disinterested. The country expects you, as It expects all others, to forego unusual profits, to organize and expedite shipments of supplies of every -kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their peo* pi#, not for themselves. A "I shall confidently expect you to deserve and win the confidence of%peo- pie of every sort and station. , Efficiency on Railroads. "To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be man­ agers or operative employees, letame say that the railways are the arteries of the nation's life, and that upon them rests the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no. ineffi­ ciency or slackened power. "To the merchant let me suggest the motto, 'Small profits and quick serv­ ice,' and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The' food and the war supplies mast be carried across the seas no matt ter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied at once. "To the miner let \pe say that he stands where the farmer does: The work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and states­ men are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great Service army. Every Garden Helps. "Let me suggest also that every one who creates or cultivates a garden both here and there; rails for worn- j^elps, and helps greatly, to solve the ':fe H •S& • I* j Tombs Are Rifled and Sacred Things Are Defiled by the Ger- . > ' man Troops. jM*»don,---The correspondent of the Times with the British array in France -telegraphs the following description of the desecration of a French church the Germans before they retreated; ^Though the Germans left In a sfcNjrry. they had time enough to wreak tbeir hatred on the church, to rifle the FRANCE i^Jfaunfl Gounod Is Mentioned Five Times for Deeds of Bravery A . in a Year. . ^ V..'

"This is the time for America to cor­ rect her unpardonable fault of waste­ fulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expendi­ ture as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now ex­ pect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. "In the hope that this statement of the needs of the nation and of the world in this hour of supreme crisis may stimulate those to .whom it, comes and remind all who need reminder of the solemn duties of a time such as the world has never seen before, I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give as prominent publication and as wide circulation as possible to this appeal. Supreme Test Has Come. "I venture to suggest also to all ad­ vertising agencies that they would per­ haps render a very substantial and timely service to the country If they would give It widespread repetition. And I hope that clergymen will not think the theme qf It an unworthy or inappropriate subject of comment and homily from their pulpits. "The supreme test of the nation has come.

Washington, April 18.--The Argen­ tine embassy handed Secretary of State Lansing a note from its governmebt strongly supporting the position this country has taken in going to war with Germany. It was as follows: 1 "The government of Argentina in view of the causes that have prompted the United States of America to de­ clare war against the government of the German empire recognizes the jus>- tiCe of that declaration, founded as it is upon violation of the principles of neutrality established by the rulgs of International law which have been con­ sidered definite conquests of civili­ zation."'

Meanwhile he has initiated a wide in­ quiry In France, England and Italy re­ garding the food situation, having the co-operation of the various govern­ ments in this work. The Inquiry Includes examination of the* prospects of the coming harvests, import necessities, methods of food regulation and • control novV in opera­ tion in the allied countries and the results achieved through tfeese meth­ ods. and Bftlieved by This Plan That Feasibility of Depending Upon Volunteers Be Determined: ~ . " Washington, April 14.--The war de­ partment prepared -to issue Instruc­ tions to recruiting officers which will be In effect a call for 500,000 volun­ teers to 'fill up the regular army and the; existing units of the National Guard. All recruits enlisted since the dec lamtlon of war and those to be en­ listed henceforth will be notified that they will be discharged at the close of the war, putting them In the status of wartime volunteers. , Four thousand three hundred and fifty-five men ulready have been en- roiled Into such a status. This Is the number of recruits since the passage of the war resolution. Analysis of the pending administra­ tion bill as It affects the regulnr army and the National Guard shows that provisions is made for the absorption of 517,868 volunteers. Of these 161,519 will be needed to fill up the regular army and 206,349 for the National Guard. As 150,000 men* must be with­ drawn from these two services within six months to train the first 500,000 increment of the selective conscript artny, their places must be taken by- that number of additional volunteers* By this plan it is thought the feasi­ bility of depending entirely upori vol­ unteers will be determined. Army offi­ cers are certain that It will show con­ gress where there are some doubts of the selective conscript plan, that conscription Is necessary to maintain an army adequate to meet the present situation.

It now goes to the senate, where it is expected to be passed by Wednesday at the latest. There was not a vote cast In opposition In the1 house. Minority Leader Mann demand­ ed a yea and nay vote. Three hundred- *and eighty-nine affirmative votes were1 cast. Meyer London, New York Social-^ 1st, voted "present." Majority Leader Kltchin and Mr. Mann then announced that all of the absentees of all parties were in favor of the bill. Under the terms of the bill bonds to the sum of $5,000,000,000 will be is­ sued, and if found necessary the gov­ ernment is authorized to issue certifi­ cates of indebtedness to the sum of $2,000,000,000. ' > Both bonds and certificates are to bear 3^ per cent Interest. The date of their maturity is left to the deter­ mination of the president and Secre­ tary of the Treasury McAdoo. " They also will decide the denomina­ tion of the bonds. It Is probable many bonds of small denominations will be- issued in order that all of the people of the country may share In the loan. An amendment by Representative Fitzgerald of New York, which was adopted, reduced from one fifth of 1 per cent to one-tenth of 1 per cent tbe proportion of the proceeds of the bonds which may be used for the purpose of ^ dotation. Huge Fund to Allies. ^Three billion dollars of the bonds will be used to take up a like amount of bonds af the nations vfrth which the United States now Is joined in prosecuting the, war against the Ger­ manic allies.^ The nations which are to benefit by this huge loan are not named spe­ cifically, but an amendment written into the bill by the administration rep­ resentatives and passed provides that none of the money shall go to any nation which is neutral at this time and that authority to make loans shall ceuse at the close of the war. This amendment was forced by Rep­ resentative Lenroqt» who asserted thai some of the South American govern­ ments might enter the war in order to share in the credit. The bill forbids the sale of the United States bonds "at less than par" and permits the purchase of the foreign bonds "at par." The other two billions of the bonds will,be used to finance the part which the United States will take in the war. The two billion dollars in cer­ tificates also will be used for this purpose if it is found later that they afce necessary. The certificates really are L O. U.'a? Issued by the' federal government. Tliey will be issued, to banks and will be payable when the special taxes td be raised by the forthcoming reve­ nue bill are available. Oue of the debate in the house stood ttVo big facts--America, regardless of politics, proposes to help the allies as much as possible and as sbon as pos­ sible, for tis own interest and theirs; France, godmother of the suffering American colonies during the revolu­ tion, can have almost anything she really needs that we dan give her. In this connection there is a strong ind growing sentiment In congress for emitting all Interest on any loan made to France. Stome members even sug­ gest that the amount sent, to France be made a gift Instead of a loan. "Only Way We Can Help." Representative Fitzgerald, chairman of the house appropriations committee, and frequeently referred to as "the watchdog of the treasury," announced that he would not care» if the money hatred over to tbe allies was never paid back. "We loon this to conduct our own war," said Representative Fitzgerald. "I would loan $6,000,000,000 If we nev­ er'got back a cent." "We are not prepared to put men. In the field," said Minority Leader Mann.
