They have got to be fed In continuously for a long time, and our country must realize It and make every preparation. They cannot do too much. The whole of our nation must be put to the single pur pose of winning this war and the idea of making money and doing business for money's sake will have to be sub ordinated or else we will not win. That is where the Germans have come in. They have done nothing but put their time and energy into the war while we have made business first."
