Governors Asked to
 Cooperate

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May 2.-Secretary Lane said today that study of inventions to combat the submarine is being diligently pursued by the interior de- partment and that the United States must build ships as rapidly as possible.
 "If we do not fight the war the other side" said Secretary Lane i've shall have to fight it this side Of the Atlantic"
 Secretary Lane declared it his belief that the war would last several years and that every resource of the country must be brought into place to bring 1t to sue cessful conclusion He further asserted that something more than the issuing of bonds is required and could foretel when the war would end Lane said that Hoover reported Germany had food enough for two years and declared:
 Germany has put up the greatest fight of history and even now has the advantage in wagg defensive war fare"
 The secretary of the interior urged the of all states and territories to arouse the people to realization of what we called upon to do.
 Lane told the governors conferring with the council of national defense on the part the state governments will take in the war; that the had heard that 4OO 900 tons of shipping had been sunk last week.
 The destruction said the secretary, was threatening the existence of England and France and is alarming the United States He said it the imperative duty oi every man in America to help. Concluding his remarks Secretary Lane said
 we are 5000 miles away from the fighting lines and we must get there somehow The shpyards o this nation surely can speed up construction of ships to mount this emergency And am sure that the inventive genius Of the nation will yet find of successfully combating the submarine menace.
 "The hope of the French people is that the morale of the German armyw continue to fall and their hope for this nation that the morale of the American people will continue to rise"
 Secretary of War Baker in addressing the governors, said that man can't tell how many increments of 50OOOO will be needed, adding:
 "The world must have peace, but there cannot be any until we go out and get it, and the harder we fight the sooner it will come."
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels appeals to the gover- nors to keep the boys who under military age on the farms. He concluded by saying:
 "They can be of more aid to their country between corn rows than they can in the navy"
