This is life and death struggle
which we have entered, determined
to establish once for all that a
government of the people, by the
people, for the people shall not

not as yet fully comprehended the
magnitude of the conflict in which
we are engaged nor realized that
our own private personal liberty is
involved in the issue. We must
realize it today, for tomorrow it
will be too late.
'The war can be won only by self
forgetting devotion of the leaders
and of the people, by putting every
particle of strength and power and
purpose and will back of the Gov

helpful and abstaining from what
ever is hurtful, by holding up the
hands of constituted authority, and
infusing IL with the spirit and de-

war is upon US, and no matter how
great may be the cost in treasure

The immediate duty of the United
States is to send men and resourc-
es to the battlefelds of Europe to
help France and Great Britain win
the war before their strength is ex-
hausted and the war brought to
America. 1t is our plain duty to
fight in self-defense, and for and
with our friends while we have
them, and to the end that there
may be an end to all war forever.
We should get it out of our heads
that the only way we can show our
patriotism, that the only way in
which we can save ourselves is to
serve as soldiers, for to save the
soldiers all who are left must serve
at home. This will be long war,
and against the millions of men
that Germany is now massing on
the western front, our millions of
men must be opposed. We must
prepare for days, weeks, months
and years of struggle, of suffering
and of sacrifice, the like of which

tion of food crops. Through every
agency at our command should the
necessity for additional production
bebrought to the attention of the
people. The county agents, men
and women, afford a splendid me-
dunn through which the gospel of
increased food production can be
brought directly to all of the peo-
pie of the county.
Of no less Importance to in
creased production is the necessity
FOR conservation. Particularly is
this true of the four great essen
tials for the conduct of this war
wheat flour, sugar, fats and meats.
There is today available for home
consumption less than half of the
normal requirements of.wheatfour
If this Nation is to discharge it's OBJ
legation to it's heroic allies in this
conflict. This deficit can be met
only through the sacrifice and de-
votion of the people of the Nation.
There is an abundance of flour
substitutes available for our peo-
pie. Their uses must be encour-
aged in every way possible.
Sugar the great energizing force
necessary for our gallant fighters,
can be secured in abundance only
through the voluntary savings of
all the people of the country. Tenn
porarily the ban on meats has been
removed. This has been done large
ly to encourage further conserva-
tion of wheat -four and because of
the lack of adequate shipping to
transport it to our allies in the
quantities they would like to have.
However, as the shipping situation
improves it will be necessary again
to institute further meat conserva-
ton measures. The situation is
the same with respect to fats.
Rules and regulations issued by
our government for the control of
foodstuffs are founded upon grim
necessity and should be as Loyalty
observed as are any other laws Of
the Nation. No general attempt
has been or will be made to fix
prices to be paid the producers,
but no consideration can be shown
the profteer who would take ad-
vantage of these unhappy days to
add further to the burdens of the
consumer without in any way con-
tributing to the income of the
great producing masses. There is
no more deplorable form of disloy-
atty to the Nation than that which
finds its expression in an effort to
make the war the occasion for add
ing TO ones possessions.
Our war activities aud agencies
must not overlook the necessity for
proper conservation of the soils of
our State as war necessity. From
the fields aud focks and herds of
America must the depleted food
stocks of the world be largely re-
plenished. This duty the farmers
ofthe Nation cannot perform if soil
conservation and improvement are
neglected. The planting of le-
gumes, proper rotations of crops,
and the other recognized agencies
for soil conservation must not be-
neglected and can not be neglected
without inviting the most dire con-
sequences to the Nation.
In every possible way we must
save coal for fighting this war.
More coal than ever before is re-
quired for France and Italy, and
still larger quantities must be had
for running our railroads to full
est capacity and for speeding up

statement OF the war situation, pre-
pared by the State Council of
National Defense especially for
the patriotic rally throughout Ten
nessee April l, was read by C. N.
Frazier at the great meeting at the
court house auditorium Monday
afternoon:
The United States is now invol-
we'd in the greatest crisis of it's
history. The time has come for the
people to know the facts. The sit
nation must be stated in the plain,
naked truth. There are millions of
easy-going, oomplacent Americans,
to whom the war as yet has had no
real meaning, who have not real
lied what the war means. They
must be made to realize that their
lives, liberty and happiness are at
stake. They must be given to un-
derstand that whether this war is
won or lost, depends upon their re-
ali8ation of their personal respon-
sibility and whether they are will
ing or not to make the necessary
sacrifice to save themselves. This
war is life and death struggle for
the safety and existence of our
selves and for the benefit of free
people everywhere. The situation
il critical in the extreme, and we
should know it. It is time for fac
ing facts instead of fighting on IL
lusions.
Forced into the war by Germa-
ny, who violatedour rights as ruth
lessly as she did those of Belgium,
we are fighting war of self-de-
fense. We are today in peril. We
are fighting to defend our wives
and children from the defiled hand
Of the German. We are fighting
to protect our homes from the beast
who knows no mercy. We are fight
ing to preserve the institutions we
love, the liberty we cherish, the
freedom so dear to US.
We are fighting in France, be.
cause it is there we can strike the
enemy, but if we are defeated in
France, we shall be sMitten in
America, and if unsuccessful in
this struggle, we shall no longer be
free men, but the slaves of the most
merciless and brutal taskmaster the
world has ever known. Our peril
is great and only our courage and
determination can avert it. 1t is
not for glory, honor or rights that
we fight, but for liberty, (which no
good man loses, but with his life."
The magnitude of the task we
have undertaken is appalling. New
er in history have nations under
taken so great task. Allied Ma
tons are maintaining millions of
soldiers in the field, and must raise
many millions more. Our resourc-
es must be poured out y cur indus
tries, finances and institutions be
orippled and our homes scared
with sorrow.
The released German armies
from the Russian front are travel
lug by the hundreds of thousands
toward our men on the west, and
the greatest stream of all is gather
ering. The time for idle and Sc
ditious talk has passed. The time
for action is at hand, so now as

Harris's Resignation
Has Not Been Made
Nor Has Democratic State
Chairman Issued Expected
Statement

The resignation Of Edwin S. Harris
from the chalrmanship of the Demo
cratic State Committee was not forth
coming yesterday. Nor did he issue
the statement he was expected to make,
which he said would clear him Of the
charges that he had planned to use
political influence to obtain war con-
tracts for friends and political asso-
ciates.
Alfred f. Smith, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, who is said to have
given Harris until yesterday in which
to resign or Gear himself, refused to
comment on the situation, saying that
ne would not make statement until
he had seen the chairman, who as such
is the nominal manager of the Demo-
cratic campaign.
Harris yesterday morning declared
that he had no intention of resigning
and that q statement he would issue
later in the day would set himself right
before the public. At o'clock last
night he withdrew into his room at the
National Democratic Club. Shortly
afterward he was joined by Senator
Robert F. Wagner. Democratic candi-
date for Supreme Court Justice, and
Senator James A. Foley, who represents

mediate decision for the petitioner
finding that Mrs Mellen had deserted d
her husband and that he was living
apart from her for justiiiable cause.
Mr. Warner promptly appealed the
case to the Massachusetts, Supreme
Court
Mr. Warner began his argument by
declaring that the publication of the
Brown letters was the real motive of
the case brought by Mr. Mellcn. Mrs.
Mellen desired to test her husband. he
continued. Mr.. Mellen was absorbed in
business and away long lengths of
time, moving about cities with men

There had been trouble between hus-
band ard wife. This friction in the
home led the latter to make test of
her husbands love. he argued. Did he
love her? Could she arouse his jeal-
ousy!
TO make such a test she singled out
man like Brown, VINO was known to
both and had been on pleasant rela-
