Makes Fervent Appeal to
the People of Globe.

Globe. Ariz, Oct. 19.-Secretary Of
( labor William B. Wilson last night de-
clared in a public meeting that in the
success Of the second Liberty loan lies
one Of the biggest opportunities that
the American people can make to
bring the present great struggle 10 a
successful and expeditions end. After
dwelling upon the submarine policy
OF Germany. secretary Wilson laid
bare the German intrigue that was
aimed to bring Mexico and Japan into
the war on her side.
Germany sought 10 engage the gov
eminent OF Mexico to come to her aid
and as a bait held out to the Mexican
government it proposed TO hand back
TO Mexico all OF the territory now
part Of the United States that for
nerly belonged 10 Mexico, the secre-
New Mexico and Arizona"
Offered Coast 20 Japan
ANA then Germany held out as q
pant 10 Japan. to gain her assistance
tn9J Germany would hand over the
balance Of the territory that formerly
was Mexico. that is. the state Of Cali.
Iornla and, in addition TO that. all of
the Pacific coast Of the United States
and back into the Interior as far as
the eastern line Of Montana Fortu-
nateiy FOR US, the governments Of
Mexico and Of Japan were friendly to-
wards US and the scheme Of the Ger
man imperial government failed Of
execution Now what was the purpose
OF endeavoriug to secure Mexico and
Japan TO come to her assistance
FIRST that she might dismember the
United States. that she might parcel
United states that young. vigorous
manhood and wOmanhood of the west
and put them under another govern
mental Jurisdiction Then. if Germany
succeeded in carrying out her design
OF a great central European empire D.
many succeeded in winning the pres
ent war and taking over the British. ;
the Italian and the Russian fleets, ma
val and commercial, IL would be in a .
position TO dominate the commerce Of.
all the seas Of the world and if the .
United States would not submit TO I
that domination, would be in a posi-
ton to bring her great trained army
70 our shores and compel US to submit !
Only One Course Left.
Under those circumstances there
was only one course left for the Unit
cd states TO pursue in defence Of de-
in defence Of our own demOc-
raCy and that OF the other democra-I
up the cudgel and declare war upon
1arbarism that was seeking TO impose
itself en- US and TO carry that war. as
we viii carry it. to a successful ter
mination- Our quarrel is only with
the imperial German government that
has sought TO impose the power Of
upon the people Of the
world rather than the viii OF the ma
'ority."
