 Every state and every county and town should organize planting campaign and march to the front in double quick time, and every man in every community should do his bit with money or muscle to help feed the heroes who are fighting our bat ties in the trenches of France. A famine in England next winter means surrender. and surrender means death and despair for tens of millions of brave men and women. and it may mean twenty years of war for the United States.

Pleads for Universal Mili- tary Training and Ex- presses His Belief in For eign Alliances.
Especial to the Herald).

Washington, April 25.-Senator George P. Mclean indelibly stamped the seal of his approval on the uni- versal military training plan in a thrilling speech yesterday. During the course of his remarks he com pared the policy of the kaiser with the creed of the Devil in respect to the insistence of the German autoc- racy to expand itself geographically. The speech was one of the most ring ing that has been made either in sup port or disapproval of universal train ing.
 Senator McLean's address in full follows:
 .''I do not believe there is mem Der of this body whose dread of war is more profound than mine, and 1t is precisely Because I want peace above everything else in the world that shall vote for universal military training and service.
 1T can see no peace for Us or any, one else until the present war is end ed in the way we would have it end. aplssi1aI am right abeut.-7tlais it. is high time that wss aAsisfA fAak 2thdse who afe fighting our battles.
 l3"Our fathers brought with them to this country the gospel of democracy. hut they brought 1t in their p owder 4orns, and it is my belief that no 1larer, l1olier stuff was ever made 9&an the powder which those old ConA dafd farmers used at Lexington It 1T up to us to emulate their example whenever 1t is necessary.
 s'From the very beginning. the issue oG peace or war has been above and heyond the control of the president. He Is not to be blessed for the con- dftions which existed on the Eth of November last. As long as the Gen. tfAi Powers believed they could ac- cG1nplish their purposes by victories on the land they found it expedient and easy to keep us out of the war but when they realized that their only chance of ultimate victory lay in the starvation of one or more of their enemies they immediately put us into the war, and today our case is pre- cisely that of Belgium.

addition to the high cost Of living, was
too much money for the taxpayers

HERE is WHAT U. S.
MAY DO AS. PART
OF ARMED NEUTRALITY
.E.l.I..

Washington, March ARMED ncu =
trality. proclaimed by a nation as suG-
gested by President Wilson. is a warn =
ing TO all beuigerents that the cOun-
try so armed stands ready TO fight in
defense Of its rights, tho unwilling to
act Jointly with either of the beliiger-
ents and is not directly concerned
with the objects of the war.
Armed neutrality may also be de-
sCribed as a nations determination 10
engage in hoStilyties with the belliger-
cnt threading its interests, as distinct
from its rights. as measure short OF
recognition of the existence Of state
Of war. aItho IN reality a state Of war
might exist.
Administration officials name the
following among the measures winch
the armed neutrality would make ad-
visa bic and which would be justified
by internatiOna! law:
l. Laying Of contact mines off the
American coasts for the destruction of
German submarines and other com
merce raiders. The United States
would have 10 give notice to mariners
in advance and communicate its deci-
sion to other governments.
2. Effectual arming Of merchant
men. The size Of the guns and the
number may not be restricted in the
case OF neutral, for, being at peace,
the only object OF the armament would
be for defense and it could not be al
legged by any belligerent with any
basis of fact or other justification that
the armament was intended for any
other purpose. Thus it would not be
inconsistent for the United States,
which limits the number Of guns a
belligerent owned merchantmen may
