vests of America. The time Is short

Washington, May I've might az
well wake up to the fact that the stu
alton is serious"
Thus spoke Secretary OF State
Lansing in the course Of discussion
OF the plight of the allies whose Be-
curfty Is menaced at sea by German
submarines and on land by shortage OF
fighting men.
Secretary Lane told the governors
comforting here with the Council OF
National Defense on the part state
governments will take in the war, that
the federal government had heard
400 900 tons of shipping had been sunk
in the last week by German subma-
rines.
The destruction, Secretary Lane
said, was not only threatening the ex-
istence of England and France but
was alarming the United States.
Study OF inventions to combat the
submarine menace is being diligently
pursued in the Interior Department, he
said. The United States must build
ships as rapidly as possible, he told
the delegates
If we don't fight the war on the
other side" he added. I'VE shall have
to fight it on this side OF the Atlantic"
Secretary Lane declared he believed
the war would last several years and
that every resource of the country
must be brought into play to bring it
to a successful conclusion.
Many persons thought" said the
secretary, that all We had to do was
TO issue bonds, and that Germany
would bow her head in submission.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth We do not know when this war
will end 1t may not be a one-year war.
Personally l believe it will last sew
eral years. Herbert c. Hoover has in
formed this government that Germany
has food enough to last two years, per-
haps longer.
Germany has put up the greatest
fight of history and she has the ad-
vantage OF now fighting a defensive
warfare. Don't go back home and in
spire your people with the thought
that immediate action can bring this
war 10 an immediate end. You people
must look to this years crop and next
years crop, and the next after that
We can't afford to fail in this war.
Every man In this country is involved
in this work and every man in this
country is a soldier"
Secretary of War Baker told repre-
sentatiyes of the state councils that
state and federal governments must
work in the closest cooperation in the
nations history il the nation is to be
successful in the greatest of all wars.
The French commissioners were
given assurance that the American
government is willing to send troops
to France-one of the urgent recon-
mendations they brought TO this coun-
try-when the allies believe they can
afford to spare the necessary ships
for transporting an army and its
equipment across the Atlantic.
