12 BERLIN CALLS WILSON SPEECH SPUR FOR LOAN German Newspapers Look Lightly on Strong Deliver ance of President Amsterdam, April B.—A semi-offi cial stutement v>as Issued in Berlin commenting on the speech made by President Wilson at Baltimore, on Saturday night. It says: "President Wilson turns historical events upsklo down. The world knows that the gigantic struggle now being fought in the west Is a conse quence of the will of the Entente for war. "President Wilson now calls for force to the utmost, and in so doing at last clearly describes the policy of the Americans and their Allies; namely, force against everything that opposes them. Germany will not suf fer from this yoke of force. "Mr. Wilson's speech is a propa ganda speech for the new American war loan. It is the best possible prop aganda for our own loan, since it shows what it- would mean for Ger many to lose the war." Nearly all the German newspapers received hero contain long articles devoted to the anniversary of the entry of the t'nited States into the war. Many journals indulge in specu lation regarding the wisdom of drag ging America into the conflict against Germany and some come to the con clusion that it wits unwise to array the United States against the father land. should Have Defeated Wilson The Taegllsche Rundschau says Germany lost her last chance to keep the United States out when she "failed to prevent President Wilson's re-election because of his anti-Ger man leanings." "But," says the news paper. "it is well to remember that Mr. Wilson will soon come forward with another peace proposition." The Kreuzzeitung says: "The Ü boat was a useful pretext for Ameri ca to enter the war and we supplied it. It enabled President Wilson effec tually to conceal his true war mo tives." The Berliner Tageblatt refuses to believe American help can bring vic tory to the Kntente. The Weiser Zeitung says America has fallen short of the Entente's ex pectations and cannot fulfill them.

Mauk N ho t TH t PRIVATE AMBULANCE PHONES MONDAY EVENING, President Wils Speech in Baltimore, Aid., April 7.—The text of President Wilson's speech here last night is as follows: Fellow-citizens: This is the anni versary of our acceptance of Ger many's challenge to light for our right to live and be free, and for the sacred rights of freemen every where. The nation is awake. There is no need to call to it. We know what the war must cost, our utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men, and, if need be, all that we possess. The loan we are met to discuss is one of the least parts of what we are called upon to give and to do. though in itself imperative. The people of the whole country are alive to the necessity of it, and are ready to lend to the utmost even where it involves a sharp skimping and daily sacritlce to lend out ol' meager earnings. They will look with reprobation and contempt upon those who can and will not, upon those who demand a higher rate of interest, upon those who think of it as a mere commercial transation. I have not come, therefore, to urge the loan. I have come only to give you, if I can, a more vivid conception of what it is for. Tlit= reasons for this great war, the reason why it had to come, the need to light it through, and the issues that hang upon its outcome, are more clearly disclosed now than ever before. It is easy to see just what this particular loan means, be cause the cause we are fighting for stands more sharply revealed than at any previous crisis of the momen tous struggle. The man who knows least can row see plainly how the cause of justice stands, and what the imperishable thing he is asked to invest in. Men in America may be more sure than they ever were before that the cause is their own, and that, if i' should be lost, their own great ration's place and mis sion in the world would be lost with it. I call you to witness, my frUow countrymen, that at no stage of this •terrible business have I judged the purposes of Germany intemperateiy. I should be ashamed in the presence of affairs so grave, so fraught with the destinies of mankind throughout all the world, to speak with trucu lence, to use the weak language of liatre-I or vindictive purpose. We must judge as we would be judged. I have sought to learn the objects Germany has in this war from the mouths of her own spokesmen, and to deal as frankly with them ae I wished them to deal me. X have laid bare our own ideals, our own purposes, without reserve or doubt ful phrase, and have asked them to say as plainly what it is that they seek. We have ourselves proposed no injustice, no aggression. We are ready, whenever the final reckoning is made, to be just to the German people, deal fairly with the German power, as with all others. • There can be no difference between peoples in the final judgment, if it is indeed to be a righteous judgment. To propos<? anything but justice, even handed and dispassionate justice, to Germany at any time, whatever the outcome of the war, would be to renounce and dishonor our own cause, for we ask nothing that we are not willing to accord. Germany's Itcply It has been with this thought that I have sought to learn from those who spoke for Germany whether it was justice or dominion and the ex ecution of their own will upon the other nations of the world that the German leaders were They have answered answered in un mistakable terms. They have avowed that it was not justice, but domin ion and the unhindered execution of their own will. The avowal has not come from German's statesmen. It has come from her military lead ers, who are her real rulers. Her statesmen have said that they wished peace, and were ready to discuss its terms whenever their opponents were willing to sit down at the conference table with them. Her present Chancellor has said— in indefinite and uncertains terms, indeed, and in phrases that often seem to deny their own meaning, but with as much plainness as he thought prudent—that he believed that peace should be based upon the principles which we had declared would be our own in the final settlement. At her civilian dele gates spoke In similar terms: pro fessed their desire to conclude a fair peace and accord to the peoples with whose fortunes they were deal ing the right to choose their own allegiance. But action accompanied and followed the profession. Their military masters, the men who act for Germany and exhibit her pur pose in execution, proclaimed a very different conclusion. We can not mistake what they have done —in Russia, in Finland, in the Ukraine, in Rumania. The real test of of their justice and fair play has come. From this we may j idge the rest. They are enjoying in Russia a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people helpless by their own act, lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair profes sions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice, but everywhere im pose their power and exploit every thing for their own use and aggran dizement. and the peoples of con quered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion. The West Front Are we not justified in believing that they would do the same things at their western front if they were not there face to face with armies whom even their countless divisions cannot overcome? If when they have felt their check to be final, they should propose favorable and equit able terms with regard to Belgium ahd France and Italy could they blame us if we concluded that they did so only to assure themselves of a free hand in Russia and the East? Their purpose is, undoubtedly, to make all the Slavic people, all the free and ambitious nations of the Baltic Peninsula, all the lands that Turkey has dominated and misruled, subject to their will and ambition, and build upon that dominion an empire of force upon which they fancy that they can then erect an empire of gain and commercial su premacy—an empire as hostile to the Americas as to the Europe which it will overawe —an empire which .will ultimately master Persia, India, and the peoples of tho Far East. In such a program our ideals, the ideals of justice and humanity and liberty, the principle of the free self-determination of nations, upon which all the modern world insists, can play no part. They are rejected for the ideals of power, for tho principle that the strong must rule the weak, that trade must fol- low the flag, whether those to whom it is taken welcome it or not, that the peoples of the world are to be made subject to the patronage and overlordship of those who have the power to enforce it. That program once carried out, America and all who care or dare to stand with her must arm and pre pare themselves to contest the mas tery of the world—a mastery In which the rights of common men, the rights of women and of all who are weak must for the time being "be trodden underfoot and disre garded and the old, age-long struggle for freedom and right begin again at its beginning. Everything that America has lived for and loved ar.fl grown great to vindicate and bring to a glorious realization will have fallen in utter ruin and the gates of mercy once more pitilessly shut upon mankind. The thing is preposterous and im possible: and yet is not that what the whole course and action of the German armies has meant wherever they have moved? 1 do not wish, even In this moment of utter dis unrighteously. I judge only what unrighteously. I judged only what the German arms have accom plished with unpitying thorough ness throughout every fair region they have touched. What, then are we to do? For myself, I am ready still, ready even 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 fare alike. But the answer, hen 1 proposed such a peace, came from the German commanders in Kussia and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. I accept the challenge. I knaw that you accept it. All the world shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self-forgetfulness with which Dives, Fomeroy Spring Sweaters ~ a ~-f u;' 1/ cnw, 4 Many new knitting ideas arc presented in the ' ' ' NeiV Draperies For Su sweaters that are presented this week and when CrPHPK f Tlict ihJf GcOrOCtteS AU nature is niakin S U P at this time-putting the new stitches and the smart shapings arc taken I 1 IIU.LOLI ULI IU to \JfLUI y ll f . 0 011 new clothes for spring and summer, liven marvel* o£beautr.

Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore, but one re sponse possible from us: Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant which shall mAke right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust. Cold Water Men Are First For Governor The Prohibition State Committee to-day filed the petitions for places on the primary ballot of its three leading state candidates, the men who were endorsed at the Pittsburgh convention. They arc: E. J. Flthlan, Grove City, for Governor; E. L Whit tlesey, Corry, for Lieutenant-Govern or, and Thomas H. Hamilton. Ilar risburg, for Secretary of Internal Affairs. The first petition for Superior Court was filed by Stephen H. Husel ton, Pittsburgh lawyer, who stated that he "advocated" the prohibition and suffrage amendments. Scores of petitions were filed to day and fourteen were rejected be cause of defects. No petitions from this section of the state were filed to-day. * Red Cross Notes Harrisburg chapter proposes mak ing the forthcoming drive for the melting pot one of the most success ful ever staged in Pennsylvania. The tirst melting pot in the window of the original Red Cross headquar ters at 22ti Walnut street converted ihany otherwise useless articles into, good United States currency—and this without a concerted effort on the part of the chapter. The tin foil, old jewelry and other metals) netted $278 foi* the Ked Cross; and| the local chapter now wishes to ace] a big incrdase over that total. Mrs. ! Chamberlain and Mrs. Plank are fanning the flames under the meU-| ing pot and the rest of the lied Cross members, it is hoped, will hunt for junk to smelt. The committee started this drive with a nest egg of S4B worth of platinum returned from the mint as the alloy from the jewelry melted down last summer, which was con verted into $l6B worth of cash. Dur ing the last week $7.5G has bean realized from the sale of tinfoil, at 27 cents a pound. The membership committee urges that the men of liarrisburg specialize in foil-wrap ped cigars and tobacco and the wo men in chocolate buds and foil wrapped chocolate bars. The men, of course, will save the foil from their cigaret boxes. On a recent trip to Philadelphia Mrs. Chamberlain learned a great deal about the value of old coins. Instead of melting a number of them for old metal she visited a numismatist. An old Moroccan cc-in dated 1288 had been responsible tor certain golden air castles, which were dashed to the ground, how ever, when the numismatist said that the year represented the 1,288ih year of the liegira, so that by mod ern reckoning, after adding r>7B years, the coin became a young thing born in 18ti and worth seven cents. An insignificant Jersey penny, however, dated 1788, helped to make up for this disappointment when it was sold for $3 —because it had the Indian head turned to the left In stead of the right. Watches have afforded a surpris-j ingly large source of income, through ! the valued assistance of K. G. Iloov-i er, who has taken out the works, 1 selling them to dealers for more than the cases are worth: and then selling the cases with the rest of the gold and silver. A search for crippled watches is suggested! The Kaiser is asking his subjects for their jewels and valuable family heirlooms—and is getting them. The Red Cross is requesting only the odds and ends and discarded bits of your jewelry and household junk. Bring them in! Let the pot boil over! The American Red Cross in France has distributed among the French departments $1,000,000, which is to be spent for the families of soldiers in dire distress. What this has mea'nt to the French peasants is seen very vividly in letters which have come to American Red Cross headquar ters. This was written by a little girl: "My little sister and I thank the American Red Cross so very much for the gift of a hundred francs to our Mamma. Our Papa died for France, and. Monsieur, long live America, our ally, who has come to help us drive those nasty bodies and who will revenge the death of our papa." A woman writes: "This gift will enable me to send a parcel to my poor husband, who, a Lprisoner, writes from Germany to 'say that he is starving. God bless i the American Red Cross that •_ , amo l at such a sad time to brighten our lives with a ray of sunlight and to help us reach the harbor of peace. I shall keep the remembrance of this all my life and teach it to my wee ones wjien they are old enough to learn how to love America." i\PRIL 8. 1918 Murderer Gets New Lease ] of Life at Eleventh Hour By Associated Press llrllrfontr. Pa.. April B.—An elev enth-hour respite to-day saved Wil liam Warren, colored, from Chester county, from the electric chair. War ren was to have been put to death J ir the Itockview Penitentiary this' morning along with Mike Uptic, of j Westmoreland county, but word came . just before execution time that the ( Governor had granted an indelinite respite. Uptic was electrocuted ac cording to schedule. According to statements made at llie office of the Governor, no repite was issued in the case of Wil liam Warren, Chester county, sen tenced to be electrocuted this week. Appeals for a reprieve were recelvd at the Capitol and, pending an inquiry into them, the Governor's office no tified the warden that he could use lits discretion as to the time of exe cution.
