fight your battles and mine.
Il was invited to meet the bankers
of Scdalia today. | have spent evocy
moment Of my time that was in your
city visiting them. Only three of them
attended the meeting. Two of them
subscribed and the other had not made
up his mind. If your love of country
is demonstrated by the activity you
have displayed in putting up your H.
lars to put behind the boys who e
fighting for you, God help our boys in
Europe. If they are to depend upon
the patriotism of Sedalians, as dem
onstrated after forty-five- days effort
they will never come back.
1--WE are in war. Whose war is it
1t is your war and mine. You and |
are part of the people Of this nation.
whose boys who have gone over to
fight for you and me. If you have a
boy over there you know how | feel.
If you have no boy over there, then
if you neglect your duty, as you have
done up to this hour, you are so yell
low, you are such a Stacker, that the
ro-German can be compared as an
angel in comparison to you. What kind
of war are we up against?
THAT was when we went to war,
but we did not go to war until thous-
ands of our men and women were as
sassinated through the instrumental
ity of the submarine, without the
slightest opportunity to protect their
lives. We are fighting the most dia-
bolical system that ever existed. We
are fighting a system that for forty
years has been educated from birth
to the hour of battle to commit dia-
bolical murder That was not suffic-
lent.
"In order to terrorize the people of
the world they took little girls and cut
off their hands in order that you and
might be afraid to fight for freedom.
They devised a gas that they could
send into the trenches in the darkness
of night and burn the eyes and lungs
out of the soldiers, your brothers and
mine.
"They sailed their Zeppelins anil
aeroplanes over uneaptured portions
of France and England, dropped down
those deadly bombs upon innocent
men, women and children-noneom-
Blatant people of the nations.
THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is not
war. That is the most diabolical muir
der ever committed by any human be-
ings of any race. They tore asunder
families and put the old men into
stockades to work for Germany or
starve to death. That, my friends, will
be your fate and mine if all of US are
as patriotic as the people of Sedalia
have shown themselves to be in this
war savings campaign"

Washington, June attempts Of
Germany to carry her submarine war
fare to America thru depredations re-
ported yesterday Of undersea craft on
coastwise shipping of the New Jersey
shore and the effort to check the In
creasing flow OF troops to France ana
put fear into the hearts of the Amer
lean people will be retroactive.
This became apparent today as gov
ei inment officials and the public viewed
al calm light the latest situation Of
the mailed fist" which. hased on what
Is believed to have been the purpose OF
German war heads, was q complete
| failure. 5sssg
The chief. purpose Of the German
raiding party. 1t was believed by offi-s
cials, was to sink transports soon after
the troop ships left their, home portA
the activity OF British and American
destroyers having made hunting in tho
old grounds on the other side OF the
Atlantic too dangerous to be pront-
able.
Fail to Terrorize America.
The other purpose Of the Germans.
it was believed. was to strike fear into
the hearts Of the American people.
There was no doubt in the minds OF
officials here that this purpose had
failed altogether of achievement.
Reports from Atlantic coast cities
showing that enlistment In the navy
and reserves had increased yesterday
and the temper in editorials in the pa
pers was the basis for the feeling that
at no other time had the American peo-
pie such a strong determination to
carry the war to successful end
In compliance with orders yesterday
armed craft and airplanes continued
search today for the raiders.
No official report had been received
to credit rumors that a submarine had
been captured or sunk Every means
of the navy department concentrated
Oh hunting down the raiders. Officials
said they would not be surprised il re-
suits were reported shortly.
Work Of One Submarine?
AS to tho number Of U-boats in the
raids officials here were undetermined
today but were Inclined to view that
all the vessels were sunk by one sub
marine. Only in one instance had II
heen reported that more than one sub
marine was seen and in that case only
the periscope of the second boat was
said to have been visible On the other
hand naval officials at Norfolk were
inclined 10 believe that from two to
FIVE uCdcrsea craft were engaged
Officials continued today to consider
the advisahility OF arming all Aoast-
wise shipping in preparation for raid
ing operations along the coast. Tho
DrecaUtion IL Is understood has been
under consideration for some time in
view Of threats by Germany to carry
