 many into the hope that war could never occur again and gave this despot of Germany his opportunity. He took advantage of that belief, that expectation, that hope, and proceeded with a remOrseless preparation for war designed to make him the con- queror of the world. And so when the time came to strike, he had an immense initial advantage, and had 1t not been for that unconquerable thing which makes a nation, that thing which is greater than guns, that thing which is greater than every thing else-the spirit and soul of a people-he would already have sue ceeded in enslaving the people of England and France and would haze had America at his feet.
 
 to arrest the invasion by the most gallant and prolonged defense ever made and America finally found her self brought into the conflict She came just in time to rescue them, be- cause the odds were against them. And now that we are in it, we must go forward without hesitation or turn l ing. We cannot for one instant think | of peace unless it is founded upon 1 justice. Never will we submit to a peace that is supported and main tained by the bayonets of the Ger man Kaiser.
 This war cannot be won by Ameri- can men alone. We must have the equal support of the women of Ameri- ca. I would not have you infer that the women of America are not already supporting this war. They are SUD- porting it. But I want you to un- derstand that there is no more inn portant partner in this enterprise of Liberty than the American women.
 Gratitude to Women
 I desire to acknowledge my debt of gratitude for what the women of America have done in the great Liberty Loan campaigns; and I want especially to thank the women here for having organized in such splendid fashion. If the men want co-ad- tutors more powerful than any other they can get in these Liberty Loan campaigns, they must enlist the SUD- port of the women of the country.
 I say this not in the spirit of idle compliment, but as a merited tribute to the women of America for the work they have already done in supporting the country in these colossal opera tions.
 We cannot wage wars of course without money. The treasury of the United States underlies every govern mental activity. The man who is sec retary of the treasury of the United States must be at all times able tC meet any drafts or demands that may be made by any other department o1 the government; and while that is true, he has no control whatever ovel the estimates of expenditures of other departments of the government. Oth- CTS control the bung hole; others handle the spigot. The duty of the secretary of the treasury is to keeI the tank full of liquid credit or money so that those who turn on the spigo will never find the tank dry.
 Now my problem, ladies and gentle men, is your problem. The problem O your secretary of the treasury is tho problem of the American people, an( it is upon you that we must finally rely if these great operations are to be car ried to successful conclusion. It i! for that reason that I have gone to tn , country with every Liberty loan ant have asked the people of Americ; themselves to do this great thing fo

 of the treasury. but to do it for them , selves, because it is their business tha . am engaged in. I am merely tryini
 to serve you and protect your interest
 Lending Money Not All e But lending money to the govern
 ment will not alone win the war-w F must do more. It is by economy, b f saving, by prevention of waste and b e using the savings thereby effected, an Q lending them to your government, S q that it may have the means to buy tn
 things required for the gallant soldier . and sailors who are shedding thei a blood for your lives and liberty. tha , we can help more.
 V 1 should like to explain to you in a S simple way as I can the importanc n of saving and economy. At this tim : we have the double burden of carryin l. our own part in this war, financing tn e colossal part that we must play in i 1t and also of extending credit to tn e allies who are fighting with us, becaus e their credit has been so eXhauste
 that they have not the means to bu l. in our market the goods and supplie : essential to the maintenance of thei e armies in the field and the support r. their civilian population. Therefor . we must raise immense sums of none " to take care of them. In addition { n that we must produce the things whic l. they must have. and which they pa e. for with the credits we extend to then l. It is a question of production and "a saving, and the civilian population tt who do not carry guns, are just 6 Ie essential in this great conflict an d have just as important a part to pla ,e as the men who actually fight in tf d trenches. They do not have the san al sacrifices to make. There is no sat IS rifice so noble. no sacrifice comparabl i'd to that of giving ones life for one le country. But in order that those WI le give their lives for their country ma of.l not give them in vain, the duty q, al wolves upon every man, woman ar m child in America to do with equ ,n patriotism and ferver of soul back g. the lines what must be done in ord at that our soldiers and sailors may wal sh1 for nothing that will enable them
 fight this battle successfully and vi
 toriously.
