J. s. ASLEEP, SAYS JUDGE GARY
Steel Corporation Official Warns Ger marry is More Awake
 Than Ever.

Chicago, Jan 5-Elbert H. Gar. chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corpora tion, tonight, said the United States is still asleep and Germany stronger more virile and aggressive than at any time since the war started. It is such Germany, he said, the United States, sleeping, must defeat. MT. Gary spoke before the Commercial Club. "The United States must call fer every ounce of strength every dollar every atom of skill, to win. he said He demanded more men for our ar mics, factories and farms and propos- ed importation of sailors, workmen and even soldiers from China He charged that the nation had been slow and stupid in realizing the full extent of the danger.
 MT Gary predicted ultimate vic- tory, followed by war of commerce as great as the present war of arms, in which every country would strive to gain. a part of the trade held by the United States. , Prepare this war as England. Ger many and others are now preparing was his warning
 From the beginning of the war there h2s~6een {. lack c,e information on the part of the government public in the countries opposed to the cen tral powers. But from the existence of many facts there is cause for fear. The most convincing has been the To- cation of opposing armies. As they move backward or forward they dem nostrate success or failure.
 'The fearful fact remains that at the end of nearly three years and. a half Prussian Germany is in control of the German and Austrian empires, of Turkey, Rumania, Serbia, Albania and large aerea of the richest part of Fr:nce Poland and a considerable portion of Rus sia and Italy The nat ural resources under the dominance of Germany have been augmented many folds since the war commenced.
 Germany is more virile, more ef- ficient, more determined and aggres- sive than she was at the beginning of the war. As nation, if she wins in | the near future she will be stronger financially, industrially, commercial ly and militarily with comparative ly small reunion of men. "A war policy which is no good except by pretense which knows no law, no justice, no mercy-nothing but the right which brute force com mands, has a decided advantage over ! ttose whose Hrirciples are humane, honorable and Christian Our country as whole, including 1 several branches of the government, does not appear to appreciate that in
 order to win this war it is to appro-
 priate every ounce of energy, every dollar of money and every atom of
 skill within reach.
 I We may be excused for having
 been slew in getting ready, but there
 can be no justification for failure in
 the future to push vigorously.
 If we overprepare for long war
 we shall only have done what pru- dence requires. For the labor short I
 age, the United States should imme-
 diately draw from the islands and Orient enough men including soldiers {, and sailors, to provide for every em- ergency.
 l We believe the war will end vic tcriously for the allies within two or
 three years; we hope much shorter
 time, It could not terminate in fav-
 vor of the other side within decade.
 fec, with all the means at our com mand, We would fight that long or l longer before we wol-u submit to a
 despotic rule of an autocratic ty-
 rant"
