desperate straits, particularly for
manpower. There also is striking
evidence of waning morale.
Trickery Forestalled
Many officers have feared that by
some diplomatic trickery the enemy
would secure enough time to fall
back on the Rhine, shorten his lines.
redistribute his forces, reconstitute
his stocks of guns and munitions
and prepare for a long defensive
battle. President Wilson's reply mas

this program no longer is possible
to him. He must fight 1t out now or
surrender.
Should Germany as a nation cry
Hammered" 1t must be treated in
the military view substantially as
the individual German soldier who
surrenders is treated; it must be dis
armed and guarded.
To Control Rhine
Disarmament of n nation means
possibility of rehabilitation, military
necessity would require allied occu-
patton of strategic points of COM
munication. To insure suppression
of submarines, occupation of subma-
rine bases also would be essential.
Guarding, in this sense, would
mean absolute control of the mill
tary approaches to Germany, Bel
gium. and the way to the Rhine Val
ley. The great fortified zone OF
Metz z-Thionville erected by the Ger
mans as an offensive threat on the
French border, at the same time
guards the way to the Rhine in the
south. Allied occupation of this
fortress, officers believe, would be
a certain requirement.

Under date of October twelfth
the Secretary of the Treasury
has wired me to make additional
proclamation urging all our peo-
pie in Pennsylvania to subscribe
or to increase their subscription
to the Fourth Liberty Loan: Two
thirds of the time for subscrib-
ing to this loan has passed and
less than half the required sum
has been given. The army of
people at home must give money
if the army abroad is to win
battles. II this war is to result
in the unconditional surrender of
our enemies. as it should, there
can be no excuse for withhold
ing any sum that is needed to
that end. The more promptly
the money is given the more cer-
tain and speedy the victory viii
be. The American mind demands
The American people must pro-
vide the means of its sure ac-
complishment.
Therefore. I call upon all our
people. men, women and children
to purchase all the bonds for cash
purchase more bonds on the in
stalment plan. We all ought
to greatly increase and in gem
eral double our subscription. We
must buy until the sacrihce OF 1t
is keenly felt in our daily lives.
We are slackers If we do not.
We cannot evade the situation
the Nation places before US. We
cannot patriotically and worthily
claim membership in the great
family of democracy and righte-
BUSINESS If we do not heed fully
and promptly this call. Not all
our bauks and bankers carry at
the same rate of interest all the
bonds our people may under the
borrowing plan agree to take.
