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

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. We must all speak, act
and serve together! j
