the financial situation of Great Britain
and Germany, the chancellor stated
that the daily expenditure of Germany
was SS1 100000, virtually the same as

Secretary in Speech at Washing
ton Says Army viii Do
Its Share.
MESSAGE FROM TRENCHES
1--WE viii Do Our Part; You Do
Yours" Is Message From Ameri-
can Soldiers in France to
the American People.

Washington, April 23.-"We will do
sage from the American army in
France to the American people that
Secretary Baker delivered here on
Saturday at Liberty loan rally in
his first public address since his re-
turn from Europe.
I'VE are fighting an adversary MIR.
Baker declared, ''who has elected to
make force the center of his political
philosophy and belief-pure, naked
force
at is not the doctrine upon which a
permanent and beautiful civilization
can be built, but we accept that chal-
lenge as it has been made. There is
no answer except cold, relentless, ade-
quate force"
A tremendous crowd that packed
Liberty Hut, the great Y. M. c. A.
building, to its capacity roared with
applause as the war secretary reiter-
ated the purpose of America and the
allies
when force is divorced from NOR
atty" he continued, "there is some
thing in morality that engenders the
force to overcome it.
There is no doubt as to the out
come"
Turning to the German drive Mr..
Baker said the people watched the
bulletins from day to day and hour to
hour, always with the question in
their hearts, "Will the line hold?"
1.-THE end of that war will not come
when line is broken. This war can
not end until a peoples heart is
broken. and those who have looked
into the faces of the people of Eng
land, of France or of Italy, who have
looked into the faces of those refugees
leaving territory to be occupied,
know that mere force can never
break that heart"
Again the great crowd roared its
appreciation.
Mr.. Baker spoke briefly of the
events of his trip along the Ameri-
can lines in France. He pictured for
his hearers the greatness of the task
the country faces in setting up new
army there, 5000 miles from home.
and paid high tribute to General Per-
shing and his officers for the work
they have done.
The aid of France and England and
Italy had been generous. he said All
allied and American men and re-
hu hnnn nnnInH until fhpU
were merged in one great identity.
All the nations had lost their sense
Of distinction between what is theirs
and what is ours" The common
purpose of all to beat back and crush
German force, he said, had welded
all into one.
Going from the ports where Ameri-
can troops land to the front line
trenches Mr.. Baker said, he had seen
American soldiers by the tens of
thousands and under every condi-
ton.
''And l found them big and strong
and brave and filed with fine deter
mination," he said ''In all that time
| saw not one of whom I was not
proud that he was an American"
"We must put our hands on the
shoulders of those boys in the
trenches" Mr.. Baker declared "They
hear what goes on in America. They
hear what we are talking about.
They learn whether our hearts are as
stout rs theirs.
when an opportunity comes for
America to express her spirit, as she
always has in this war. they hear it.,
and it is a hand on their shoulders on
the dark and moOnless nights, saying
Hold 'em ."
