"The United States must build ships as rapidly as possible," he told the delegation. "If we don't fight the war on the other side, he said, we will have to fight the Germans on this sidle.'" The destruction, Secretary Lane said, was not only threatening the existence of England and France, but was alarming the United States. Study of inventions to subvent the submarine menace was being made by the interior department, he said. Secretary Lane declared he believ ed the war would last several years and that every resource of the coun try must be brought into play to bring it to a successful close. "'Many persons thought," said Sec retary Lane, "that all we had to do was to issue bonds and that Ger many would bow her head in sub mission. 'Nothing could be farther from the truth. Wje do not know when this war will end. It is my personal opinion that it will last three -years longer." Herbert C. Hoover informed the governors that Germany has "food enough to last two years, perhaps longer Germany has put up the greatest war of history and she has the chance of fighting a defensive warfare. Don't go back home and think you can end the war easily. "Your people must look to this year's crops, next year's crops and the crops after that. "We can't afford to fail in this war. Every man in the country is involv ed in this work and every man in the country is a soldier. "The French hope to break down the German mor ale. Our hope is to see to it that our own morale rises." Representatives of all state3, in cluding a number of governors, met today with the council of national de fense to promote unification of the nation's energies and resources for the war by closer cooperation be tween federal and state agencies. Among the matters discussed were: Prohiibftion during thei war to conserve food materials ordinarily used for liquor; encouragement of better crop production and better marketing; betr labor conditions, especially on the farm; industrial conditions affecting output of munition.

Germany was stated to have made advances to the entente proposing to surrender her conquests in the east on condition of Germany's retain ing her Balkan and Mesopotamian holdings. Prospects of a separate peace by any Teutonic countries are wholly discounted by the British mission on the ground that Germany's hold on her allies is altogether too firm.
