The manhood and WOmanhoOd of our country must unite in Wholesouled and patriotic endeavor to defend our liberties and sustain the honor of our flag. We shall need the cooperation of all our people. We must give our time, our strength, and our money to the cause of our country. In com rarison with this paramount duty, all other matters are of little concern all other questions, social and indus trial, of minor importance. Their dis cussion and settlement must be post poned until this great national peril has been averted by the defeat of the military despotism that seeks to tcrrorize and enslave the world.
 "Our industrial resources and our industrial energies must all be mo- bilized for the support of this war. They are the factors vital to its suc- cess. We must see 1t through. To leave unsupported the boys we have

 1T am confident that we only need tc realize the imminent dangers of the situation to make a hearty re- sponse to the call of our country, and the call we are now considering is the call to the industries of our lond-to the employers and employed alike. Without their full and efficient co operation, we must accept the de- gradation of defeat. This is especial ly true, at this time, of the shipbuild- ing industry.
 "I do not fail to appreciate the rart to be played by the employers of labor, or the importance of the duty imposed upon those who direct these great industries; nor do l un- dervalue the patriotism which, for the most part, they have shown and are showing in this unprecedented crisis, but my appeal is to all concerned.

JUDGE GRAY TALKS
 ON SHIPBU|LDING
Interesting Talk Given Out by Member of Shipping Committee

Washington, Nov. B. A pressing need of the country is set forth in a statement upon the shipbuilding in dustry by Judge George Gray of Wil- mington. Del. a member of the War Shipping Committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. fudge Gray, who Is we'll known for his part in settling the anthracite coal strike in 1902 and as former United States senator. addresses the Ihipbuilders of the country as follows:
 "There Is no exaggeration in the statement that the necessity for an adequate production of ships is the most serious matter that now con- fronts us in this the greatest crisis in our country's history, or in the his tory of the world. We have entered this war for just cause. and we must prosecute 1t with all our might and with all the resources of our country. Otherwise, we cannot win 1t.
 We have not chosen the path of submissions to the arrogant demands of the German governing class, in

for that cooperation which is ahsO- luiclN necessary to produce the de- >irrN results.
 My long time sympathy with the efforts of the labor of this country tr better it's conditions and to raise the standards of it's life and conduct, emboldens me to appeal to all those concerned with the shipbuilding work of the country, to illustrate the worth of their American citizenship by ral- lying with local devotion. in these days of stress and danger, to the splendid appeal recently made by our president to the patriotism of or Ganized labor. It is your country and it is my country, and it is your duty and it is my duty to defend its life and it's liberty.
