Shows Hun
Blow Is Near
Allies Are Ready to Meet
Ludendorf Blow Wher-
ever 1t Comes

Official and unofficial dispatches from
France yesterday emphasized the
general belief that the second grea+
German blow in the West cannot be
far distant. 1t is thought to be a
matter of only few days, or perhaps
hours.
Along the front the activity of the
guns has grown in violence. The
enemy has completed his prepara-
tions for a new blow and now awaits
his opportunity. His armies are
poised to strike with their full force.
But everywhere the Allies are conf
dent OF their ability to hold.
AT Morlancourt,~ on the Ancre River
before Aptiens; at Villers- Breton
neux, between the Luce and the
Somme, and from Hailles south along
the Acre River, where artillery duels
have been intense for days, the guns
Kept up their constant hammering
yesterday.
Before Ypres, where observers believe
the enemy will strike first in an at
tempt to take the town in the first
days push, the bombardmenti in
creased markedly yesterday. From
!pres along the whole front of the
Armentieres salient to Lens the Ger
man guns belched their steel at the
Allied positions.
Ludendorff now awaits only favorable
weather to launch his attack. Be-
tween the Channel and the Oise he
has massed 140 divisions, nearly two
million men, with which to strike,
according to advices received by the

stand.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson
marched with the President, as did the
Presidents secretary, Joseph Tumulty
Eight Secret Service guards were in
attendance
Crowds Almost Hysterical
Fifth Avenue was beside itself at
! sight of the erect, frock- coated figure
that headed the ,great parade, and
cheer upon cheer smote the air as the
crowd recognized the President. The
hrst impulse Of every onlooker was to
constitute himself as an informal
guard OF honor and march down
abreast of President Wilson on the
sidewalk.
Thousands acted upon this impulse
In every block, and a dozen or more
policemen had to use their utmost en-
deavors throughout the line of march
to prevent such thoughtiess enthusi-
asts from causing a dangerous jam.
AT the library, the centre of every
war activity in the city and the focal
point OF most of its parades, crowd of
enormous proportions had gathered,
and the advent of President Wilson
was the signal for a veritable salvo of
cheers.
President a Fine Hiker
He started from Sixty-seventh Street
at 2:l8 p. M, just eighteen minutes
after the parade itself had got under
way from its starting point thirteen
blocks to the north, and he arrived at
the reviewing stand, Twenty-fifth
Street, at 2:55, which is pretty good
going.
About five minutes interviewed be-
tween the arrival Of the President at
the reviewing stand and that of the
head of the parade. His hat raised in

he made his way to the box reserved
for him. AS he was about to take his
seat stentorian voice called from the
next box:
"Three cheers for the savior of the
world"
The cheers came with vim, and the
President sent for the man responsible
for them. He was Corporal Daniel
Moncure, of the 122d Canadian In
fantry, fifty-four years old and in
yalided from the battlefront. He ex-
planned that he had been accepted de-
spite his age when the authorities
learned that his son was one of those
that German soldiers crucified ON o
barn door. He declined an invitation
to seat himself with the President.

..Silent" Raiders

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 18.-The Germans at
tempted vigorous silent raid on one
OF the American combat groups within
a strong point in the Luneville sector
The raid was complete failure, and
cost the enemy considerable losses.
None of the Americans is missing.
The fight was carried on with hand
grenades. rifles and revolvers, and it
was virtually hand-to-hand.
The Germans beat hasty retreat
after ten minutes, carrying virtually
all their dead and wounded with them.
One dead German, however, was left
behind.
The scene of the encounter was about
mile and half southwest of Bre-
menil.

200 Killed by
Explosions in
TN. Plant
Volcanic Explosion Hurl
Men Fleeing for Safety
High in the Air

PlTTSBURG, May 18.-Probably two
hundred men were killed to-day when
an explosion Of TINT demolished the
plant of the Etna Chemical Company.
at Oakdale, on the Panhandle division
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, sixteen
miles west of this city.
Five hundred workmen in the plant
were startled ct noon to-day by a re-
port not much louder than the crack Of
pistol. 1t came from the soda house,
but they knew its deadly import, and
as one man they rushed forsthe nearest
exit.
Before they could gain the open the
very air seemed to burst into flames,
the earth heaved and rocked, and. with
roar that was heard for miles. the
long factory buildings were hurled high
into the air, carrying with them pom
oerous equipment and scores of men.
Injured Die in Flames
A great cloud of dust and smoke set
tled over the scene, and through it's
deadly fumes torn and mangled forms
dropped to the earth, many dead, but
others to meet their end in the flaming
debris.
The exact number of dead had not
been determined tonight and it was
possible that it would not be known
for days, is indeed it will ever be
known.
Many OF tho injured. some of whom
were found as far as half mile from
the remnants of the factory, were
brought to Pittsburgh hospitals by
special train and in ambulances dur
ing the afternoon and early evening.
In only comparatively few instances
were physicians able to hold out any
hope for their recovery.
The properly loss was estimated at
$1,50o,0oO.
Great Fire Starts

rlosion the mass Of broken beams ard

Wilson Leads Mighty
Hosts of Red Cross
Crowds Almost Hysterical in Greeting to
'President-Amy Of Workers, Men and Women,
Rich and Poor, Flows Down Avenue for Hours

President Wilson led the Red Cross
parade down Fifth Avenue yesterday
marching more than two miles at the
head of the column of $1,000 men and
women, and then standing rigid fol-
hours in the reviewing stand in Madi-
son Square while rank after rank
swung past. 1t was his gift to the
Red Cross, the outward manifestation
of the esteem in which the nations

the measure of his interest in it's $780,

Immediately behind the President

of $50 we'll drilled young women whose
formation never faltered from Eigh-

rhythmic step and garb of red and

Avenue as though borne on the crest
of an irresistible flood.

marched not as ex-Presdents, as inter
national bankers or leaders of the bar.
but as officers of the great army that
carries solace to the battlefield and
relies upon the appreciation of the ma
tion for the wherewithal.
The evenly flowing ranks that filled
the stately avenue from brim to brim,
half-hysterieal spectators swirling
eddies, showed the organization of the
army. There were srimly uniformed
nurses, clad according to the branch of
the service to which they were as
signed--army, navy, tropical, etc. There
was complete field unit, ambulances,
rolling kitchens and all, and there were
thousands upon thousands of women
who marched to the sheen and click of
knitting needles.
President Surprises Crowds
President Wilson had not been ex-
pected as marcher. He was to review
the parade, but his appearance at Six
ty-seventh Street, just as the head of
the column reached that point. was q
surprise. The crowd recognized his
figure as motor car drew up at the
curb and burst into tempestuous ap-
plause.
The clamor was redoubled as Presi-
dent Wilson left the automobile and
took his place at the head of the
marchers. A young woman burst
through the Gordon Of police and Sc
cret Service men and dashed TO the
Presidents side. She carried Red
Cross nag OF silk, which she held out
to him in silence and with sh;n;n~
eyes. He took it and carried it jaunt.

Will Not Be Diverted
From Our Determi-
nation to Win the
War, He Says
Thousands Hear
Red Cross Plea
''Not 100 Years of
Peace Could Have
Knitted Nation as
Has Year of Strife"

President Wilson, opening the Red
Cross drive for $1O0,O0O,OOO at the
Metropolitan Opera House last
night, gave new emphasis to his call
for "force, force to the utmost"
II have heard gentlemen recently
say" the President declared, "tha.
we must get five million men ready.
Why limit it to five million?"
Every ship shall go on every
voyage with every man and all the
supplies it can carry" ne added.
Mr.. Wilson warned against :nsin-
cere approaches on the subject of
peace.
"We are not to he diverted from
the grim purpose of winning the
war;" he said.
Two Duties for America
There are two duties with which
we are face to face" said the Presi-
dent. "The first is to win the war.
The second is to win it greatly and
worthily."
The great audience cheered the
President long and frequently. He
was introduced by Cleveland H.
Dodge, who characterized him as
"the spokesman for all the great
spiritual forces of the world"
His call for a huge army was
greeted with tumult of applause.
And again he brought the thousands
Of men and women to their feet
cheering when he said:
II am here to stand by Russia as
well as France"
The President whose speech fol-
lowed that of Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, ended by summoning the
American people to show how ready
they are to sustain the hearts of the
world by contributions to the Red
Cross. In giving to the Red Cross,
the President said, man is giving
to himself.
Our Duty Is to Win
The Presidents speech follows in
full:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Coun-
trymen: ] should be very sorry to
think that Mr.. Dawson in any de-
gree curtailed his exceedingly inter-
esting speech for fear that he was
postponing mine, because / am sure
you listened with the same intent
and intimate interest with which /
listened to the extraordinarily vivid
account he gives of Che things which
ne had realized because he had come
in contact with them on the other
side of the waters.

ination: he compassed them in his
personal experience, and am not

am not competent to do so because
I have not had the time or the on
portunity to follow it in detail. I
have come here simply to say a few
words to you as to what it all seems
to me to mean. and it means a great
deal.
Why Limit the Army
There are two duties with which
we are face to face. The first duty
is to win the war. And the second
duty, that goes hand in hand with it.
IS to win it greatly and worthily.
showing the real quality of our
power not only, but the real quality
OF our purpose and of ourselves. OF
course, the first duty, the duty that
we must keep in the foreground of
our thought until it is accomplished
is to win the war. ! have heard
gentlemen recently say that we must
get five million men ready. Whv
limit it to Ave million?

THE SEASONS
BY F. S. Sullivan

l like a day in summer when
the sunshine's golden sheen
gives promise of a harvest
from the waving fields of
green. When the flowers
bloom on the hillside and the
birds sing in the trees and the
melody of Nature is waited on
the breeze. | like a day in au-
tumn when the suns first slant
ing ray is greeted by the farm
er as he mows the ncw-mown
hay. When the golden pump
kins waiting to be made into
pie and the geese are sailing
V-shaped away up in the sky.
/ like a day in winter when
snowflakes fill the air and the
north wind whistles shrilly
through the branches bleak
and bare. When bright-eyed
lads and lassies, with cheeks OF
ruddy glow come tripping by
in couples, the way we used to
go. When sleigh bells tinkle
gaily and children smile be-
cause the evening is approach
ing that brings old Santa Claus.
But of all the changing seasons
the one that's nearest right is
the snappy, cherry Springtime
when the fish commence to
bite. O, get your rod and line
old Top, and don't forget the
bait, and bring along your old
brier root, oh do not longer
wait. For down along the river
brink the violet's modest face
is glistening in the tmorning
dew; I'm sure you know the
place where bass and crappie
lie in wait for the deceptive
hook, and where last year we
caught the biggest ever took.
Well sit upon the messy bank,
our backs against a tree, and
smoke and watch the bobbing
corks in peace and ecstacy.
