 IF GERMANY SHOULD MIN WAR, STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Unless Germany is beaten, America can hope for no freedom-this is the note running through statements by cab- inet members given out tonight in support of the third Liberty loan.
 Benedict Crowell, acting secretary of war; said in part:
 We realize the enormous task before us and we are confident of winning, but it will take the com bined punch of the whole American people and will require an immense expenditure of men and money. If we are beaten in France, the strug- gle probably will be transferred to American soil. Plans for the in vasion and subjugation of the United States are now on file in the office of the German general staff This we know definitely. l strongly urge you to buy all the Liberty bonds that you can afford and then some more. Remember that the Germans issue no bonds for the money they eXtort from conquered peoples"
 Secretary Daniels of the navy:
 Our men in the trenches and the ships are counting their lives as nothing and are maintaining the highest standards of American man. hood and heroism. It is our privi- lege at home to sacrifice and sacri- flee and sacrifice to provide the gov ernment with the means to carry on the war. No man who values his freedom and loves the principles upon which our government was estab- lished can afford to not contribute the limit to the third Liberty loan.'
 Secretary Lansing of the state de- partment:
 The United States has been at war for a year. The first enthusiasm which followed the declaration that we would take up arms in the cause of liberty and justice has passed, but in it's place there has come to the nation a spirit of determination and self sacrifice. Under the influ- ence of this spirit, the republic is pressing forward to the accomplish ment of the mighty task which this war has imposed upon it. Let there be the same patriotic response to the third Liberty loan that was made to those which preceded it."
 Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department:
 The least duty we can perform and we should be eager and happy to perform it-is to lend our money every available dollar we have or can save, to our government in order that our gallant sons may be SUD- piled with all they need to save America"
 Attorney General Gregory:
 ITO save the lives and liberties oi ourselves and our children, we have been forced unwillingly to take ul arms. To prevail we must dedicate to the farthest limit our every power Shall we give or sacrifice less foI freedom than our enemy gives for despotism? What shall a hoarded penny profit us if we may spend il only as slaves?"
 Secretary Houston of the depart ment of agriculture:
 If we do not win this war we shall indefinitely face the interference of the Prussian autocracy or beal permanently the intolerable burdens of militarism. To win this war WI must have both men and money"
 Postmaster General Burelson:
 "One year ago we took up tho guage of battle flung in our faces by Germany. It is righteous war WaBeu Dy our people. NO more m spring exhibition of patriotism wa. ever made than the response by then to the requests of President Wilson that they contribute to its suppor by purchasing our governments op legations. He knows us not wh, doubts that the response will be ia beyond the amount required"
 Secretary Redfield of the depart ment of commerce:
 Buying Liberty bonds makes ou homes safer. our business more SC cure. helps maintain America agains enemies who mock at our power ant think us weak because we respec the rights of others"
 Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of labor:
 The third Liberty loan has al even greater significance than tn first two. They were the expression of instant and responsive patriotism This serves a grim notice on the fo that America is in the fight until tn lives of it's people are safe from tn assaults of barbarism, its institution secure against the attacks of autoc racy and the nations of the cart including our own, are assured tn opportunity of living their own live undisturbed by the power of mill
