PATRIOTIC PLEA
Speaker Asks for Enlist
ments in Army Be-
hind Army"
George w. DriscoiI Of New York Sees
Greatest Menace in Shortage of
Food-Says Any Peace Other Than
by Force Of Arms Would Be Mere
Truce

An appeal to the spirit Of patriot
ism and sacrifice rather than detailed
instructions as to how foo economy
should be put into effect-facts with
which nearly everyone is already ia
millar-comprised for the most part
the address last evening al City hall
by George w. Driscoll Of New York.
upon the subject of Conservation"
OF big and impressive physique and
Of striking and pleasing personality,
Mr.. Driscoll was heard with Gloss at
tention, and his remarks must have
awakened many to the real and press
ing need Of the measures advocated by
the food administration. 1t was not q
large audience that heard the speaker,
but the number was of fair size and
included many women-mistresses OF
households. Judge Will c. Atkins Of
Gardiner. acting. he said. as a. substi-
tute for r. p. Hazard, chairman Of
the Kennebec county committee on
food conservation. introduced the
speaker and explained the methods Of
organization for prosecuting the con-
sarvation campaign in Maine.
War means service" said Mr.. Dris-
coll, "and 1t means sacrifice on the
part of each and every one of us. Those
who render the supreme service and
renoer the great sacrifice are the
young men from our schools and coll
leges. who go forth to gamble with
death on the battle fields Of France,
or even with a worse fate-and come
back manned. to live out their lives
broken in body and in spirit. Yet
sometimes I think it's the mothers that
make the sacrifice. We can't all be war
fathers and war mothers. We can't all
wear the army uniform. But we can
all be members Of that army behind
the army, and do all in our power to
bring this war to a speedy end"
The speaker expressed his sympathy
with those fathers and mothers who
say that the morale Of the German
people is breaking. that their re-
sources are waning. that our boys
won't see any fighting, and the war
Will be over by spring: but HI con-
demned as almost reasonable that 9TH
er class, who. saying that it is too bad
to keep UP the slaughter, urge the ac-
ceptance of German peace terms
simply on the grounds that they did
not demand indemnities. Such people.
he said. are making this talk because
they want Germany to win.
Mr.. Driscoll frankly admitted his be-
lief that the submarine is still a seri-
u n and maintained that star
walton is the most serious threat con-
fronting the enemies of Germany.
There is no peace in sight, he said. We
can't make peace around any peace
table; it's got to be a peace made by
men, guns and %bayonets. A peace now,
said Mr.. Driscoll, would be simply an
armed truce with every nation ready
to spring at another's throat.
