Sir Auckland Geddes, British min
lister Of national service, In a speech
delivered at Nottingham said that the
grim work Of bombing German towns
and villages would be In full swing
before many moons had elapsed"
He said he wished 1t had been possible
to avoid inflicting that last punishment
on women and innocent children in
Germany, but that the brutal spirit
ruling Germany made 1t inevitable.

RUSSIA STANDS FIRM
TO see WAR THROUGH
People Contribute Freely to Liberty
Loan" First Day.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.
Petrograd, via London, April 20.-Al-
though the subscription lists to the
Liberty Loan" only opened yesterday
the public is already contributing freely.
according to the Officlal News Bureau.
In two hours after the lists were open
:, 500, 900 rubles were received.
The ZemIia VOLTA. the organ of the
revolutionary Socialists, declares that
the prosecution of the war Is necessary
since Germany persists in her plans of
conquest. The paper says:
"A peace formula without annexation
implies of necessity the restoration Of
the devastated countries OF Belgium. Ser
bia, Montenegro, and Rumania. Ger
many still continues to seek conquests
and 10 penetrate farther into Russian
territory. 1t is therefore necessary to
accept the Calvary of war to the end.

bitter attack on the advocates of a COM
promise with Russia and other peace
propagsndists Is made by the Hamburger
Nachrichten.
The paper asks.
What is this talk about the identity
of Russian and German aims; no an
nexations; nations living together in a
peace honorable to both sides.
These semi-oficial utterances are
bound to arouse uneasiness among the
German people. Our war aims are very
clearly defined in the east. An auton-
oInous Poland is not sufficient; Cour-
land must never return under Russian
sway. The German people must ask
the government what II means by
identity Of Russian and German aims"

adopted resolutions at a secret conven-
tion demanding that the central pow
ers make public their peace condi-
tions, excluding all forcible annexa-
tions. according to the Tagwacht, the

Wrecked German Boats
To Be Seaworthy Soon

Nine OF the seized German merchant
vessels, the machinery Of which was
wrecked by their crews before they were
taken by the United States. can be made
ready for sea within thirty days. This
was the report submitted to the Shipping
Board yesterday afternoon by engineers
who made a survey OF the ships. The
cost Of repairs will be about 10000 In
each case.
The report, the FIRST made to the board
IN the investigation, says further that
the uniformity with which the German
sailors went about their work will be of
the utmost assistance to this country in
the repairing. On each ship the same
damage was wrought. the cylinder heads
being smashed and the piston rods
nicked. The result is that the repair work
can be standardized and thus more
quickly finished.

Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

That the Germans are being defeated.
but that 1t will be about two years be-
| fore the war comes to an end is the
opinion of Herbert Corey. war corre-
spondent. who arrived in Washington
last night and is registered at the Hotel
Harrington. Mr.. Corey has been in Ger
many, Italy, France, England, Greece.
and Serbia, arriving in New York the
day war was declared by the United
States against Germany.
| Mr.. Corey states that the Germans
are being driven back little by little and
\ that they are running short Of a great
many important materials, such as cop
per, manganese, cotton. etc. He also
said that the entire German army Is
underfed, but Indications are that they
can last until the next harvest comes,
which will again put them on full ra-
tions. Neither England nor France be-
lieve the Germans can be starved out,
he said.
On account Of the perilous situation
in Russia, Mr.. Corey believes that Amer
ican troops will be in Europe before the
war ends
I'm view OF the experience in Europe
and especially in England" said Mr..
Corey, i think that the universal mill
tary system seems absolutely forced
upon US. We will have to draft. Eng
land tried the volunteer system and 1t
fell fat. We certainly have intelligence
enough to profit by other peoples mis-
takes"
According to the French and English
Intelligence offices. there is little prob
ability of a revolution in Germany until
the war ends, said Mr.. Corey.
Mr.. Corey paid high tribute to the
armies of the entente allies at the front,
saying that in spite of the tremendous
cost and the utmost suffering that never
before were they so sure and convinced
that the Germans will be defeated. That
the aeroplane has proved itself to be
absolutely essential in modern warfare
and that no army can make an often
sive or defensive move without them is
the consensus Of opinion of European
war experts, Mr.. Corey states.

indefinitely and may later return to

months" said Sydney Brooks, we'll

who is now making a brief visit here
and is at the Shoreham.
II do not believe the war will end in
| less than nine months, although the
situation now is crystallizing rapidly.
1 am convinced that Germany will not

and half. That's the time-limit for
her. 1 think her rulers realize that fact

decision.
"Of course, all England is gratified
over the entrance Of the United States

the Balfour mission arrives in Wash

new proofs of how deeply the Presidents s
action is appreciated by the British

W. woRK At NAvY YARDs

Washington, Nov. p. Nearly
$4,000 appointments were made to
the forces Of mechanics, helpers and
laborers at navy yards and other
establishments during the fiscal
year ended June 80, and since that
date appointments have been made
in increased proportion.
An appropriation Of S7,500,000 is
now being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun factory
at Washington, which, when COM
pleted, will furnish employment for
1000 or more skilled mechanics, in
addition to the 5000 already at work
in the plant. In this mammoth fac
tory, one of the best equipped and
most interesting in the world, are
built the great guns for our war
vessels, which carry to every coun-
try the message Of Americas abil-
ity to protect herself and to safe
guard the rights of her citizens
wherever they may be-
The new naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia. which will be com
pleted this month, will also employ
about 5000 men.
The workers who man such plants
are of superior class, and they
feel personal pride in turning out
products that will stand the test
of conflict with the arms of other
nations. A considerable part of the
building of war vessels is also done
in government yards.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, which is charged with
the task of recruiting the ranks of
this great civilian army, through its
widespread organization, is furnish
ing the men as they are needed. In
certain trades, particularly those
connected with shipbuilding, there is
a shortage. Sailmakers, cop
persmiths, shipftters, anglesmiths,
and machinists are es-
pecially needed. Women to operate
power sewing machines are also in
great demand. The representatives
Of the civil service commission at
the postoffices in all cities are the
recruiting agents for this
as we'll as other branches of the
civil service. The commission urges
mechanics to offer their
to the government at this
time of great need.

Upton COUNTY
RAISES OVER S5,s60

Upton county has again done her
part. Through the tireless toll Of
willing workers and the liberal Civ
ing Of a number Of our citizens. both
old and young, white and colored,
Upton county has pledged something
over $500 to the Army Y. M. G. A.,
which is $1,000 more than the amount
originally assigned to this county. OF
this amount about $500 was con-
tributed in cash. incidentally, it ap-
pears that although several counties
in West Tennessee have gone over
their allotment, Upton county has
exceeded hers by a greater percent
age than any other West Tennessee
county. However, every dollar sub
scribed will be needed to carry on
the wonderful work which the Y M.
C. A. army has undertaken. Those
who have contributed may assure
themselves that thew are taking part
in a cause which will bring comfort,
health and cheer to our soldier boys,
thereby strengthening the morals Of
our army and preparing the way for
an earlier victory.
