Washington, April 5.-Unless Ger
many is beaten, America can hone
for no freedom-this is the note
running through statements by cab
met members given out tonight in
support of the Third Liberty Loan
Benedict Crowell. acting secretary
of war, said in part
I'VE realize the enormous task be-
fore us and we are confident of
winning, but it will take the combin-
ed punch OF the whole American peo-
pie and will require an immense ex-
penditure of men and money. If we
are beaten in France, the struggle
probably will be transferred to
American soil. Plans for the invasion
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 a few more Re-
member that the Germans issue no
bonds for the money they extort
from conquered peoples"
It's Privilege.
Secretary Daniels of the navy:
Our men in the trenches and on
the ships are counting their lives as
nothlng and are maintaining the
highest standards of American man
hood and heroism. 1t is our privilege
at home to sacrifice and sacrifice and
sacrifice to provide the government
with the means to carry on the war.
No man who values his freedom
and loves the principles upon which
our government was establihsed can
afford to not contribute the limit TO
the Third Liberty Loan"
Secretary Lansing of tho Stato l.
partment:
The United States has been at war
Tor a year. The first enthusiasm
which followed the declaration that
we would take up arms in the cause
or liberty and justice has passed. but
in its place there has come to the
nation a spirit of determination and
selt-sacrifice. Under the influence
or this spirit the republic is pressing
forward to the accomplishment of the
mlghty task which this war has i'm
posed upon it, Let there be the
same patriotic response to the Third
Liberty Loan that was made to those
which preceded it,"
Least Duty Says McAdoo.
secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department:
The least duty We can. perform
and we should be eager and hapnv
to perform it's to lend our money
every available dollar we have or
can save, to our government in order
tnat our gallant sons may be sup
America" '"'e
Attorney General Gregory
To save the lives and liberties of
ourselves and our children, we have
peen forced unwillngy to take nm
arms. To prevail we must dedicate
10 the farthest limit our every power.
ohail we give or sacrifice less fo-
freedom than our enemy gives for
despotism? What shall boarded
penny profit us if we may spend II
only as slaves?"
Secretary Houston of the DEPART

II We do not win this war we
snail lndifinitely face that interfer-

Expects Big Response
Postmaster General Burleson:
'One year ago we took UP the gage
of battle flung in our faces by Ger

by our people. No more inspiring ex.
hibition of patriotism was ever made
than the response by them to the
requests of President Wilson that
they contribute to its support by pur-

He knows us not who doubts that tie
response will be far beyond the
amount required"
