Ther Is no need to call to It. -W know what th war must cost. I oar utmost sacrifice, th Uvea of our fittest men. and. If need he. all that we possess.

I have not come, therefor, to urge the loan. I hav e.m only to giv you. if I can. a mora vivid conception ot what it Is for. "The reasons for this rreat war. th reason why It had to come, tne neen to fight It through, and the Issues that hansr upon Its outcome, are more clear ly disclosed cow than ever before. It I easy to see Just what this particular loan means b-cauaa th cause we ar fla-hUna- for stands mors sharply re vealed than at any previous crisis of tha momentous struggle.

"Men In America may b mor sure than they ever wr before that the cause Is their own and that. If It should be lost, their own a,reat Nation's place and mission In th world would be lost with It. "1 call yoa to witness, my fellow I countrymen, that at no state of this terrible business hav I Judred th purposes of i.ermany Intemperately.

TV hav ourselves proposed no In justice, no aggression. W ar ready, whenever th final reckoning Is made, to b Just to th German people, deal fairly with th German power, as with all other. ' There can be no difference between peoples ta th final Judgment, if tt Is Indeed to be a righteous Judrment. To propoee anything but Justice, even bended and dispassionate Justice, to Oermany, at any time, whatever th outcom of th war. would be to re nounce and dishonor our own cause. Yct w ask nothing that we ara not willing to accord. -It haa been with this thonaht that f have sought to learn from thos who spoke for Oermany whether It waa jus tice or dominion and th execution of their own will upon the other nations I of th world that th German leaders were seeking. "They hav answered, answered rn Bnmistakable terma They have avowed that it was not Justlc. but dominion and th unhindered execution of their own wilL "The avowal has not coma from Ger many' statesmen. Jt has com from her military leaders, who ara her el rulers. atateaaaea for rear. TTer statesmen hav aald that they wished peace, and wer ready to dis cuss its terms whenever their oppo nents wer willing to sit down at the conference tabl with them. "Hr present Chancellor haa said. In Indefinite and uncertain terms Indeed, and In phrases IRat often seem to de n the'r owa meaning, but with a much plainness as he thought prudent. that he believed that peace should b based upoa the principles which we bad declared would b our own in th final settlement. "At Brt-lutvak osr civlllaa dale- gates spoke In similar terms: professed their deslr to conclude a fair peace and accord to th peoples with whose fortunes they were .dealing th right to choos their own allegiances. But action accompanied and followed th profession. "Their military matters, tha men who act for Germany and exhibit her purposa In execution, proclaimed a vary different conclusion. We cannot mistake what they have done In Kussla. in Finland. In th Ukraine, in Koumanla. Tha real test of their Justice and fair play haa com. From this we may Judge th rest. They ar enjoying In Russia a cheap tri umph in which no brava or gallant nation can Ions; tak pride. Great Pewai Prvarrate. "Th great people, helpless by their own act. Ilea for th time at their mercy. Their fair professions ara for gotten. They nowhere set up Justice, but everywhere Impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and aggrandizement: and th peoples of conquered provinces ara Invited to be free under their dominion. "Ar we not Justified in believing that they would do the same things at their western front if they wer not fac to fac with armies which even their countiesa divisions cannot over come? lf, when they hav felt their check to be final, they should propose fa vorable and equitable terms with re gard to Belgium and France and Italy, could they blame us If w concluded that they did so only to aasur them selvee of a fre hand la Russia and tha Kast? "Their purpos undoubtedly la to make all the Slavlo peoples, all the free and ambitious nations of the Baltic Peninsula, all the lands that Turkey baa dominated and misruled, subject to their win and ambition, and build upon tout domination an empire of fore upon which they fancy they oaa then erect an emplr of gain and commer clal supremacy an empire aa hostli to the Americas aa to tbJurop which It will overawe an empire which would ultimately master Persia, India, and the peoplea of th ar.

"In such a programme our Ideals, th Ideals of Justice and humanity and liberty, th people of the fre. self-de termination of nations upon which all th modem world Insist, can play no part. "They ar rejected for th Ideals of powers: for the principle that th strong must rul th weak, that trade must follow th flag, whether those to whom It Is taken welcome it or -not that the peoples of th world ar to be made subject to th patronage and overlhrdship of thos who hav th power to enforce IL "That programme oaca carried out. America and all who care or dare to stand with hsr, must arm and prepare themselves to contest the mastery of th world a mastery In which the rights of common men. th rights of women and of all who are weak, must, for the time being, be trodden under foot and disregarded, and the old. age long struggle for freedom and right begin again at Ita beginning.

"I do not wish, even In thla moment of utter disillusionment, t Judne harshly or unrighteously.

I am ready, ready still, ready oven now. to discuss a fair and Just and honest peace at any time that It Is sincerely purposed a peace In which the strong and the weak shall tare alike, but tha answer, when I proposed such a peace, came from tne oerman commanders In Hussia. and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. "I accept the challenge! I know that you accept It- All the world shall know that you accept It. It shall appear In th ntter sacri fice and self-forgetfulness with which we shall give all that wa love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it tit for free men like ourselves to live In.

"Let everything that we say. my fel low countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response, until tha majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill tha thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprise what w honor and hold dear. "Germany has once more said that force, and fore alone, shall decide whether Justice and peace shall reign In the affairs of men. whether right as America conceivsa It or dominion as she conceives It shall determine the destinies of mankind.

AIL, The Conquerers of The Road Hail the tires that triumphed in the bitterest struggle ever staged between roads and tires, a con of .4,178,744 tirey miles. . Hail Goodrich Tested Tires. Hear the story of a good fight well won. One year ago Goodrich, challenging the roads of America to a test of strength, sent f ii A V'tf forth sixTest Car Fleets to battle America's fi$! V roads in every region of the country. i 1 11 i r a ::1iH: ; . t It 1 ifM' V. 'V"" L. .1 wTTi'HX a.il: ,I..'ir HI.'" 1 L I ta. t. f ' 'lltiJ tt I The roads did their worst. East, west, north and south, as tha Test Car Fleets whirled from state to state, the teeth of the road gnawed at Goodrich Tires. ' But the tires conquered with phenom enal mileage that doubled Goodrich's pride. From that test covering millions of miles, the Test Car Fleets came bade with a new tire standard, the TESTED of Goodrich Tested Tires. Tested Tires mean certainty of service, proved service, and that means a lot 'to a tire user. It means long life in a tire, and dependability on the road, for no hidden weak ness could conceal itself in that year long test of Goodrich's'Test Car Fleets. SILVERTOWN CORDS, and BLACK SAFETY TREADS, proved themselves ' masters of the road. The spiral-wrapped, cable-cord tire body, and the tough, close -clutch, cross -barred black safety tread defied the rough going. Under light and heavy cars they proved themselves not for one car or one driver, or one road, but all cars, all drivers, all roads. Jj j A wireless J Ti t from 5 f; i - Liberty i h t w. S.
