Washington.-With high British and
French naval officers in conference
here with naval officials, definite steps
have been taken toward participation
of the American navy in the war
against Germany.
Patrol of the entire Atlantic sea-
board, reaching southwark to the Pan
anna Canal zone and possibly north
ward 10 include Canada, will be the
first duty of American warships. With
that goes the necessity of guarding
against the probable extension of the
German submarine campaign to in
clude approaches to major American
ports.
This development, with a statement
that the War Department has issued
instructions to recruiting officers
which are in effect a call for 100000
volunteers to fill up the regular army
and the existing units of the national
guard, hold important places in the
news relative to war preparation.
British and French ships now on
this patrol duty will be withdrawn as
soon as the American forces have their
lines established. The American
sQuadrons will operate from British
and French bases in the South Allan
tic wherever necessary.

President Wilson calls upon every
American citiZen-man, woman and
child-to join together to make the
nation a unit for the preservation of
its ideals and for triumph of democ-
racy in the world war THE supreme
test of the nation has come" says the
address. I'VE must all speak, act and
serve together"
Putting the navy on a war footing
and raising a great army are the
simplest parts of the great task ahead,
the President declares and he urges
all the people, with particular empha-
sis upon his words to the farmers, to
concentrate their energies, practice
economy, prove unselfshness and de-
mOnstrate efficiency. The address fol-
lows:
my Fellow-Countrymen-The en-
trance of our own beloved country into
the grim and terrible war for democ-
racy and human rights which has
shaken the world creates so many
problems OF national life and action
which call for immediate consideration
and settlement that / hope you will
permit me to address to you a few
words of earnest counsel and appeal
with regard to them.
I'VE are rapidly putting 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 adj
dressed ourselves. There is not a sin
gle selfish element, so far as l can
see, in the cause we are fighting for.
I'VE are fighting for what we be-
lieve and wish to be the rights of man.
kind and for the future peace and Sc
curity of the world. To do this great
thing worthily and successfully we
must devote ourselves to the service
without regard to profit or material ad-
vantage and with an energy and intel
ligence that will rise to the level of
the enterprise itself. We must realize
to the full how great the task is and
how many things, how many kinds and
elements Of capacity and service and
self-sacrifce it involves.
These, then, are the things we must
do and do well, besides fghting-the
things without which merely fighting
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 nations with whom we have
made common cause, in whose support
and by whose sides we shall be fight
