GERMANY ACCEPTS
ENEMY CHALLENGE
''We Stake Everything, and
Shall Be Victorious" Says
Chancellor.
BEFORE REICHSTAG BODY
By the Associated Preas.

By the Associated Pres.
BERLIN, January 81, via London.
February 1.-Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollweg and other ministers attended
an important meeting of the ways and
means committee of the reichstag to-
day, at which the entire war situation
was gone over and new steps planned
by the central powers were considered
The chancellor opened the sitting with
a speech. of which the keynote words
were: I'VE have been challenged to
fight to the end. We accept the chal-
lenge; we stake everything and we
shall be victorious"
The chancellor was followed by the
secretary of state for the admiralty,
who spoke of the situation from the
technical. military and naval view
point. Detailed statistical data in re-
gard to the economic position of the
world were supplied by the secretary Of
the interior, and Foreign Secretary Zim
mermann replied to several special
questions.
After the ministers had spoken the
committee went into secret session. at
which speeches were made by repre-
sentatives of the centrist. national lib
eral and progressive parties.
Time for U-Boat WARFARE.
In his address Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollwes explained why in March
and May of last year he had opposed un-
restricted submarine war, and why again
in September, according to the unani-
nous judgment Of the political and mill
tary authorities. the question was not
considered ripe for decision"
In this connection the chancellor re-
peated his previous utteranee that as
soon as he, in agreement with the su-
preme army command, reached the con-
viction that ruthless submarine war
would bring Germany nearer a victory
the U-boat war would be started.
This moment has now arrived he
continues. Last autumn the time was
not yet ripe. but today the moment has
come. when. with the greatest prospect
of success we can undertake the enter
prise. We must therefore not wait any
longer.

Wy N'hRo \ C5S WASHINGTON, June 12. - The following was written by Mrs. Antot. nette Funk, gice-chairman Of the wo- mans Liberty loan committee;
 Since the government has called ftJY'''UdS cvuntrys nfe, the woman's loan committee dares to call upon them to help supply the money to sus- tain those sons."
 The purpose of the Liberty loan is to give funds to the government so that it can conduct this war for lib erty and democracy In an efficient manner The quicker this money is supplied the quicker will come the end of the war. with its consequent saving of human life. The denominations of the bonds are as low as $50, and the payments ar easy. A subscriber can pay cash If she wants to, but she does not have to. A Liberty bond should be in every home.
 | Because so far we have been remote from the scene of war, we are inclined like the foolish ostrich, to hide ouI heads in the sand, not realizing. not believing, closing our eyes to the ac tual threats of danger that are here No man liveth to himself alone ant the time is here when no nation livetl to itself alone. We are bound up il the warp and wool of nations, par of the fabric. The welfare of one i the welfare of all.
 The gigantic struggle that has beer going on in Europe for almost thre
 years is not a struggle to settle bour
 daries, not to gain revenge for old dis putes. It is war to establish tn right to life and liberty. It is wa
 against awfulness. It is war agains . the creed of hate. It Is war in d, . fense of weak people. It Is protes ! against the savagery that sent th . Lusitania to the bottom.
 It Is our notice served upon tt

 the world. It is notice to the worl ' that we and our neighbors in tn
 hemisphere will not tolerate that u oppressor's foot be set upon o' shores. It is for the honor and safe U of our women. It is for safe al
 free home for our children. The on
