Continued from Page one.)
T,ussian military caste OF Germany,
Must Win the War at All Costs.


Governor Cornwell declared that America and
her allies must win the war at all costs-that no
sacrifice that the peoples of the free nations oppos-
ing the Huns could be called upon to make would
be TOO great 10 achieve this object WE must have
smoplies food and ships in unlimited quantities not
only that the men in the trenches might be properly
cared for and kept up to their highest point of eff
feiency but that the people back home should
maintain their morale in the face of all peril
The free peoples of the world in death
struggle with strong, cunning and cruel foe, and
in order that this malevolent foe should be crushed
and the world made safe place in which to live
must be prepared to make the most tremendous
sacrifices OF blood and treasurer--to be ready and
willing to suffer any hardship any discomfort
that would be contributing factor toward winning
the war.
The most vital thing in our conduct of the
is the greater production of food both for ourselves
and for our allies. France, Great Britain. Italy,
Belgium and the other countries fighting the Hun
must be fed and clothed and kept warm, and there
is nation to do this but America And in order
10 do this. to maintain the spirit of the soldier at
the front and the morale Of the people back home.
there must be far greater production of food in
the United States this year than ever beforehand
for the duration of the and after
Must Produce and Conserve.
The second most vital thing is the conservation of
the food produced here. America has been known
for many years the most wastefu nation
earth-the most prodigal OF nations of all times in
its disregard OF its food supplies But the time is
here when the people of this country should
save what they have therefore, wasted or pay
price that staggers the imagination.
The third thing vitality important to the win
ming of the war is the financial support of the
ton and it's allies America must have vast sums
OF money. both for the production of its
supplies, and for the assistance of the allies the
other side Of the ocean. This can only be secured
through the medium of loans to the government by
the people. The government cannot impose too
heavy burden Of taxation upon the people because
OF the danger to the industries of Sie country and
the people therefore must loan their money to the
goyernment--the best and safest investment in the
world If win the war. III we do not win the war
then all property becomes yalueless, and America
win no longer whether it has money to loan
not.
Urges Purchase Of Liberty Bonds.
The third liberty loan campaign will be launched
April g. and it is expected that West Virginias APP
portionment will be $4,000 900 West Virginia has
yet fallen down in its subscriptions for any
purpose. On the other hand, she has oyersub-
scribed her allotment for every fund to which she
has been asked to subscribe. West Virginia must
not fail in the coming campaign-lshe win not fail.
But that she rise TO the occsaion and do her full duty,
II viii be necessary for the people to subscribethe
people of all classes and all degrees. The banks
will be unable to absorb the loans, as they have
largely done IN the past and it will be The stern
duty Of the people te save every dolaI 3sshle =
