WILSON SPE4KSTO NATION URGES EVERY MAX WOMAN AX I) CHILI) TO STAX1) TOGETHER. Appeals Especially to Farmers.?Efficiency and Loyalty Everywhere is Urged.?Practice Economy. Washington. April 15.?President Wilson tonight in an address to his countrymen called upon every American citizen?man, woman and child ?to join together to make the na- J tion a unit for the preservation of its ideals and for triumph of democracy in the world war. "The supreme test of the nation has come," says the address. "We must all speak, act and serve together." The president urges all the people to concentrate their energies, practice economy, prove unselfish and demonstrate efficiency. He appealed to the farmers with emphasis on his words and particularly to the farmers of the South, to plant foodstuffs. The Southern farmers, he said, "can show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping to feed the nations and the peoples everywhere fighting for their liberties and for our own." The address follows: President's Address. "My fellow countrymen: "The entrance of our beloved country into the grim and terrible war damncranv and human rights IVt UV/1MVV*MV^ ? which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration and settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard to them. "We are rapidly putting our navy upon an effective war footing and are about to create and equip a great army, but these are the simplest parts for the great task to which we have addressed ourselves, there is not a single selfish element, so far as I can see, in the cause we are fighting for. We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this great thing worthily and successfully we must devote ourselves to the service without regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. We must realize to the fullest how great the task is and how many things, howmany kinds and elements of capacity and service and self sacrifice it involves. Things to I5e Done. "These, then, are the things we must do and do well, besides fighting ?the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless: "We must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen, not only but also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose aid we shall be fighting. "We must supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, submarines or no submarines, what will every day be needed there, and abundant materials out of our fields and our mines and our factories with which, not only to clothe and equip our own forces 011 land and sea but also to clothe and support, our people for whom the gallant fellows un- j der arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are cooperating in Europe and to keep the looms and manufactories there in raw materials: coals to keep the fires going in ships at sea and in the furnaces of hundreds olfactories across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammunition both here and there; rails for worn out railways back of the fighting front; locomotives and rolling stoci: to take the place of those every day going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle, for labor and for military service; everything with which the people oi England and France and Italy and Russia have usually supplied themselves but cannot now afford the men. the materials or tthe machinery to mo L-Q Greater Efficiency. "It is evidence to every thinking man that our industries, on the farms, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever and that they must be more economically managed and better adapted to the particular requirements of ouri task than they have and what i want to say is that the men and ine women who devote their thought and their energy to these thugs \v:Il oe seiving the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom just as truly and just as effectively as the men on the battlefield or in the trenches. The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a great national, a great in rernational service army - a notable and honored nost engage 1 in the service of the nation and the world, the elficient friends and and saviors of free men everywhere. Thousands, nay, hundreds of thousands of men otherwise liable to military service of right and of necessity be excused from that service, and assigned to the fundamental sustaining work of the fields and factories and mines, and they will be as much part of the great patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire. Word for the Farmers. "1 take the liberty, therefore, of addressing the word to the farmers of the country and to all who work on the farms: the supreme needs of our own nation and of the nations with which we are cooperating is an abundance of supplies and especially /~>f f AA^c-tn ffo Thfl imnrirtanpp r?f n ri VI 1 VVUOVU1IC* X liV VM*?VW w* V*.. adequate food supply, especially for the present year is superlative. Without abundant food, alike for armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we have embarked will break down and fail. The world's food reserves are low. Not only during the present emergency but for some time after peace shall have come both our own people and a large proportion of the people of Europe must rely upon harvests in America. Upon the farmers of this country, therefore, in large measure rests the fate of the war and the fate of the nations. May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the production of their land or that will bring about the most effectual cooperation in the sale and distribution of their products? The time is short. It is of the most imperative importance that everything possible be done and done immediately to make sure of large harvests. I call upon young men and old alike to accept and act upon this duty?to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor is lacking in this great matter. To Southern Farmers. "I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant foodstuffs as well as cotton. They can show their patriotism in no better way then by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping, helping upon a great scale, to feed the nation and the people everywhere who are fighting for their liberties and for our own. The variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehension of their national duty. "The government of the United States and the governments of the several States stand ready to cooperate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of seed, an adequate force of laborers when they are most needed, at harvest time, and the means of expediting shipments of fertilizers and farm machinery as well as of the crops themselves when harvested. The course of trade will be as unhampered as it is possible to make it and there shall be no unwarranted manipulation of the nation's foodstuffs by those who handle it on its way to the consumer. This is our opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency of a great democracy and we shall not fall short of it! to tu? Middlemen. "This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are handling foodstuffs or our raw materials of manufacture or the products of our mills and factories: the eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This is your opportunity for signal service, efficient and disinterested. The country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego unusual profits, to organize and expedite shipments of supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their people, not for themselves. I shall confidently expect you to deserve and win the confidence of people of every sort and station. To the Railroad Men. "To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be managers or operative employes, let me say that the railways are the arteries of the nation's life and that upon them rests the immense responsibili tv or seeing to it tnat tnose arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackened power. To the merchant let me suggest the motto, 'small profits and quick service.' and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The food and the war supplies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does: the work of the world awaits I on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and statesmen are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great service army. The manufacturer does I not need to be told, I hope, that the ! nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process; and I want only to remind his employes that their service is absolutely indispensable TO AVOID ALLIES' MISTAKES. , Men Seasoned in War to Give Uncle Sam Benefit of Experience. Washington, April 13.?The international war council to assemble here within the next week and to which Great Britain and France are sending eminent statesmen, soldiers and sailors, was stated officially today to have very largely for its purpose the , enabling of the United States to avoid the mistakes and difficulties which beset the allies when they entered the war. ' American officials in all depart- < ments will have the opportunity, it < was stated, to meet the foreign com- ^ missioners personally, discuss with them the immense lessons taught by the war, and consider the broad prin- ' ciples whereby the United States can < marshal its forces for the great strug- < gle. First-Hand Information. Closely allied to this phas6 of the conference will be the information gained at first hand as to how America's resources can best be directed towards meeting the common enemy. The entente statesmen are expected to disclose the fullest details of the present war situation, especially as to their own needs in continuing their operations against Germany. A close study will be made as to how this country's power can be dove-tailed into that of the entente, so that the United States will be free to dedicate itself only to the essentials and save duplication of effort. There will be some discussion in the conferences of the attitude of the United States toward ultimate peace terms. It is understood that the entente powers plan to agree to such terms as will warrant the United States in fighting unreservedly with them to a common end. Highest Honors. The highest honors that the United States can offer are planned for the British and French commissioners. The chiefs of the commissions, including Foreign Secretary Balfour and others of the English group, and Minister of Justice Rene Viviani and Field Marshal Joffre, of the French, will be welcomed by the highest officials of the government and entertained for the first three days as guests of the United States. The leaders of the British party, who are expected here several days 4 before the French commissioners, < will be given the use of the hand- < some home of former Secretary of the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh. Commodious hotel quarters have been engaged for the other members of the commission. Knglisli as She is Spoken. The late Lord Minton used to tell a story about a famous art connoisseur who once sat next to a rather illiterate alderman at a public banquet. In the course of conversation the alderman mentioned that his grandfather had known the great Napoleon. "Indeed!" said the other. "That's very interesting!" "Yes," the alderman went on. "And I still have the fine snuffbox that Napoleon gave him. It has a hen in diamonds on the lid." "A hen!" exclaimed the other. "Oh, I see! You probably mean an eagle?the imperial eagle?" "No," insisted the alderman. "It's a hen plain enough. I've got it with me. Look!"?and he pulled from his pocket a splendid gold box with an "X" in brilliants on the lid.?Topeka State Journal. and is counted on by every man who loves the country and its liberties. Plant Gardens. "Let me suggest also, that every one who creates or cultivates a garden helps greatly, to solve the problem of the feeding of the nations; that every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation. This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and everv woman assume the \ duties of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. "In the hope that this statement of the needs of the nation and of tne world in this hour of supreme crisis may stimulate those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminder of the solemn duties of a time such as the world has never seen before. I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give as prominent publication and as wide ' circulation as possible to this appeal. I venture to suggest also to all advertising agencies that they would perhaps render a very substantial and timely service to the country if they would give it widespread repetition. And 1 hope that clergymen will not think the theme of it an unworthy . or inappropriate subject of comment and homily from their pulpits. "The supreme test of the nation has come.
