Whole regiments have deserted and .gone over to the Russian lines. Whenever this has happened and any of the soldiers have been caught no mercy has been shown them, :Yet these men die martyrs because they refuse to.fight for the oppressor of their country. The Bohemians will desert whenever opportunity offers itself, and no good American will blame them for doing so. The hope is that after the terrible war their present day opressors will be, brought to task and made recognize the inaliepable rights of smaller nations. The way for that to happen, of course, will be for the democratic powers of the earth to overthrow autocracy in all its in- vidious form. When this is done Bohemia will come into its own, God | speed the day. "WRONG AGAIN, If it is true, and we have no reasor to doubt the word of Mayor Curley of Boston, that Charles M. Schwab , was offered $100,000,000° by-the Im- veriai’ German Government to stop making_ munitions for the Allies, we | have another instance of what means the Hohenzollerns will take to attain their ends. Mayor Curley asserts he secured the information ~about the attempted bribe from Mr. Schwab some two weeks ago at the launching of a steamship at the Fore River yards in Quincy, Mass. Mr. Schwab told the mayor that the offer was made two days before Congress declared a state of war existed between Germany and the United Statés. $100,000,000 is a huge sum. But it is not big enough to buy an Ameri- can of the type/of Charles M. Schwab. i Press.

Carranza devoted much attention to the resumption of diplomatic relations with the United States severed in 1913. He touched briefly on the Ben- ton case and referred to the occupa- tion of Vera Cruz as a “lamentable Following an dtcount of the Villa raid on Columbus and the | clashes with American troops at Car- rizal and Matamoras, he said: “This can be considered as a period of war with the United States, for hostilitics had commenced. Never- theless the government continued to treat the situation by diplomacy and secured in shortest possible time the retirement of the American forces. Actually both countries were inspired with the most sincere desire to con- tinue the cordial relations which pre- viously existed. Still I am. obliged to inform congress that the American government, notwithstanding its de- sire to encourage friendship with us, has not raised the embargo on arms ‘and ammunition consigned to this government.” In regard to Mexico's neutral nation, he said: “With respect to the gigantic war which is being sustained by the groups of European nations and in which the United States, Cuba and EBrazil have now entered, the government under my charge sent to the neutral nations on February 11, a note in which, up- on the basis of the most absolute im- partiality, it invited all these coun- tries to use the necessary efforts to discourage the progress of the war and prevent its spread.

He also said it had been necessary to borrow about 20,000,000 pesos national gold from. the banks, in the nature of short time loans. FLAG FOR BUNKER HILL. Boston, April 16.—Miss Goldie Sharak, who lives on the slopes of historic Bunker Hill did not like to sec the famous monument without a flag in war times. When officials of the association which cares for the shaft informed her they were without funds for the purchase of a flag and pole, she volunteered to raise the nec- essary money. Her offer was a@- cepted and the flag will be soon float- ing over the heights uf the Charles- town district. NATION FOR | Urges His Feflnw Countrymen to Speed Thelr Energies in ] lPRESIDENT APPEALS TO CO- OPERATEON F‘leld and Factory to Ensure Success ' for the Stars and Stripes. ‘Washington, April 16.—A calt-for volunteers for a great service army to help win the battles of the nation and its allies against the German Govern- ment wae issued by Presi@ent Wilson last night. It was in the form of an appeal to “my fellow-countrymen,”" and it set forth the vital necessity for | the mobilization of all the industrial forces of the country to produce the things necessary to help the armies in the field and the warships at sea. “The supreme test of the nation has come,” declared the president. “We must all speak, act, and serve togeth- er.” The addu‘-&i is taken here to show that the president is more than ever determined that the commerce of the world shall not be paralyzed by the German submarine menace. “The food and the war supplies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ips are sent to the bot- i tife appeal is addressed | to the farmers, the middlemen of every sort, those who run the railways; | managers and operative employes in- cluded; the merchants, the ship build- | ers and shipyard workers, the miners, and those who cultivate gardens. Em- phasis is laid upon the necessity of in- creased production, and the farmers of the south are urged to raise abun- dant foodstuffs, as well as cotton, The appedl follows: s My Fellow Countymen: “The entrance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights Wwhich has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and ac- tion which calls for immediate con- sideration 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 of the great task to which we have ad- dressed ourselves. There is not a sin- gle 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 with- out regard to profit or material ad- vantage and with an energy and intel- ligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. We must realize to the full how great the task is and how many things, how many kinds and elements of capacity and service and ‘self-sacrifice it involves. ¢« “These, then, are the things we must do, and do well, besides fighting—the things without which mere fighting would he fruitless. “We must supply abundant food for curselves and for our armies and our seamen, not only, but also a large part of the nations with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose sides we shall be fighting. “We must supply ships by fhe hun- dreds out of our shipyards to carry: to the other side of the sea, subma- rines or no submarines, what wili every day be nceded there, and abun- dant materials out of our flelds and our mines and our factories _ with which not only to clothe and equip our own forces on land and sea, but ; also to clothe and support our peo- ple, for whom the gallant fellows un- der arms can no longer work; to help clothe and equip the armh-;s with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufac- tories there in raw material; coal to keep the fires going'.in ships at sea and in the furnaces of hundreds of factories across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammuni- tion both here and there; ralls for wornout rallways back of the fighting fronts; locomotives and rolling stoclk 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 of England and France and Italy and Russia have usually supplied them- selves, but cannot now afford the men, the materials, or the machinery to make. “It is evident 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 §ver, and that they must be more economically man- aged and better adapted to the partic- ular requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to say is that the men and women who devote their thought and emergy to these things will be serving the coun- try and conducting the fight for peace and freedom just as truly, and just as effectively as the men on the battle- field or in the trenches, The indus- trial forces of thé country, men and.; women alike, will be a great national, a great intematlofinl service army—a notable and honored host cngaged in the service of the nation and the world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere Thousands, nay, hundreds of thousands; of men otherwise Hable to military servies will of right and of necessity be ex- cusedl from that servicé and assigned to the fundamental, sustaining work of' the fields and factories and mines, and they will be as much part of the areat patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire. 1 “I take the libertly, therefore. of ad- dressing this word to the farmers of the country and to all who work on the farms: The supreme need of our own nation and of the nations with which we are co-operating is an abun- dance of supplies, and “éspecially of foodstuffs. The importance »f an ade- quate food supply, especially for the e presemt year, is superlative. Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now atiwar, 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 emergen- ¢y, but for some time after peacq | and a large proportion of the people of -‘Europe must rely upon the hatvests n Aamerica. “Upon the fav | theretore, ir. < of this country, measire rests the ! fate of the war und the fate of the! | nations. May the nation not count i\lpon them to omit no step that will (s T i increase the production of their land | or that' will bring about the most ef- { fectual co-operation in the sale and distribution of tneir products? The time is short. It is of the most im- | perative importance that everything i poszible he doie, and done imme- \dia'el,\'. to make sure of large har- | vests. T call upon voung men and old vl\lll\e and upon the ahlebodied boys of | the land to accept and act upon this | duty-——to turn in hosts tc the farms i&n(l make certaln that no pains and no labor is lacking in this great mat- i ter. { I particularly appeal to the i mers of the uth to plant abundant foodstuffs, as well as cotton. They can sihow their patriotism in no oetter jor more convincing way than by re- sisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping, upon a great scale, to feed the nation and the peoples everywhere who are fighting for their liberties and for our own. The variety of their crops will be the visihle measure of their comprehension of their national duty. “The government States and the several states stand operate. They will of the United ready to do |an adequate supply of seed, fettilizers and farm machinery, as harvested. “‘arranted manipulation of tion's food the This is our opportunity strate the efficiency of a g cracy, and we shall not fallsifort of it! “This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are handling our foodstuffs ar our raw materials of manufacture or the pro- ducts of our mills and factorles: The eves of the country will be especlally upon you. 'This is vour oppartunity for signal service, efficlent and disin- terested. The country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego un- usual 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 (#anks, for their people ,not for them- selves. I shall confidently expect you to deserve and wifi the confidence of people of every sort and station. “To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be man- agers or operative employes, let me say that the rallways are the arteries of the nation’s life and that upon them rests the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackened power. To the merchant let me suggest the motto, ‘Small profits and quick ser- vice,’ and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war de- pends 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 ance. To the miner let me say that he stands where th farmer does: the work of the worl waits on him. If he slackens or fails armies and statesmen arec helpless. He also is cnlisted in the great Service Army. The manufacturer does not neced to be told, I hope, that the nation looks to hfin to spced and per- fect every process; and ! want only; ta remind his emploves that their counted on by every man who loves the country and its liberties. “Let me suggest, also, that every one who creates or cultivates a gar- den helps, and helps greatly, to solve the problem of the feeding of the nations; and that cvery 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 every woman assume ihe duty of careful, provident use and | expenditure as a.public duty, as a dic- tate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be excused or for-; given for ignoring, ' “In the hope that this statement -of the needs of the nauon and of the i world in this hour of ‘supreme .erisis | .mav stimulate those to whom it !'comes and remind all who need re- | minder of the solemn duties of a time {such as the world has never seen’ be- i fore, I beg that all editors and pub- | lishers everywhere will give as promi- i nent publication and as wide circula- tion as possible to this appeal.
