New York.-Opening with speech
here the American Red Cross drive
for a second s1O0,000,000 war fund,
President Wilson announced the pur.
pose of the United States to set no
limit on its effort to win the war.
81 have heard gentlemen recently
say" he said, that we must get s.
100000 men ready. Why limit it to
100000?
81 have asked the Congress to name
no limit, because Congress intends,

ship that can carry men or supplies
Ihall go laden upon every voyage with
svery man and every supply she can

The United States, the President
declared, will not be diverted from

Washington Hopeful.

Washington.-With more than 500,-
600 men now in France, army officials
are more than ever hopeful that
powerful American force will be CO.
operating with the Allies there by the
end of the year. Unhappy experience
with over-sanguine estimates of what
can be accomplished makes them slow
to put their hopes into definite predic.
tions, however, and it was not possible
to obtain specific confirmation of the
report from Paris that 100000 fight
ing troops before January ! had been
promised.
The statement in Premier Clemen-
ceau's newspaper that such a promise
had been made was not believed by
army officers generally to mean that
the American Government should def
initely pledge itself to deliver a specific
number OF men within time limit.
Many factors are involved in making
such calculation months in advance.
Secreary Baker would make no com.
ment on the statement. Many weeks
ago he told the Senate Military Com
mittee, however, that the Government
then had hopes of getting 100000 to
the front during the year. Since then
his estimate that 100000 men would
reach France early in the year has
been fulfilled and since then, also the
German drive has changed the whole
course of events and brought about
speeding up of American participation,
which has already shown results.
The French article indicates that un-
der the program a total of 100000
American troops would reach France
during the year, 100000 of which
would be fighting units. Whether that
result can be obtained depends on the
shipping situation. The men and the
essential equipment for them can be
ready.
Under the authority sought by Presi.
dent Wilson TO organize as large an
army as 1t is found possible to train,
equip and transport, it is known that
officials expect at least 100000 men
to be under arms during the next IL
months. Many believe that even a
larger force can be handled, as it now
appears quite probable that total of
100000 during the year will be nearer
the mark.

Washington.-Th total of the Third
Liberty Loan is s4,17O,O19,65O, an over
subscription of SO per cent, above
the three-billion minimum sought. The
number Of subscribers was about H.
100000 Every Federal Reserve dis
trict oversubscribed, the Minneapolis
district going to 172 per cent, the
highest, and the New York district to
124 per cent, the lowest.
In announcing these figures, the
Treasury explained that the total may
be. changed slightly by later reports
from Federal Reserve banks, which
have been at work for week tabu-
lating the great number Of subscrip-
tions which came in during the last
days of the campaign.
This is the most successful loan
the United States has offered, both in
number of subscribers and in the
amount realized" said Secretary Nc
Adoo in statement. Every subscrip-
ton was made with the full knowl.
edge that allotment in full was to be
expected, unlike the first loan, when
allotments were limited to 50 1000 ,O00,-
600, and the second loan, when allot-
ments were limited to one.half the
oversubscriptions. ! congratulate the
country on this wonderful result,
which is irrefutable evidence of the
strength, patriotism and determine.

This great result was achieved not.

Total subscriptions to the second
loan were s4,6l6,000,OO0 and the
amount accepted was S3S0S,O00 000
Pledges to the first loan ran above
$4,000, 100000, but the loan was limited
to s2,000,000000. Subscribers to the
second loan numbered about $9,500000
and to the first loan about s4,5O0,0O0.
The feat of the Atlanta district,
standing forth in the final percentage
list, was the topic of favorable com.
ment about the Treasury. Through.
out nearly all of the four weeks cam
paign the district stood at the bottom,
owing to the tardiness of banks to
report subscriptions and OF subscribers
to place their pledges on record by
payment of the first per cent. install
ment.
The New York district, the largest
contributor, with s1,114,93O,7 700, more
than fourth of the total, held the bot.
tom position on the percentage table
because big business interests with
headquarters in New York, and bank.
ing institutions, failed to subscribe
heavily to the loan, owing to immi
nence of Federal tax paying time.

GEN. PERSH|NG
MAY LEAD AN ARMY
Likely to Command British amp
French Troops.
NEW POLICY of ALLIES
Any Division In Which American
Troops Predominate Will Be
Turned over To "Black
Jack"

Washington. General Pershing
probably soon will be commanding
French and British troops as the proc.
ess OF brigading American units with
their allies on the western front goes
| forward.
As If exemplifying the unity OF com
mand and action into which the Unit
ed States and It's co-belligerents have
entered, II became known here that
whenever American troops predom.
mate in the brigaded divisions as the
process goes on, these divisions, un.
der present plans, will be turned over
10 General Pershing's command.
This plan would accomplish several
things which the military authorities
consulting upon II regard as very de.
sirable. II would rapidly increase the
size OF the American fighting COM
mand on the battle line; it would con-
tribute tremendously to the spirit Of
unity and concerted effort, and at the
same time, instead of holding large
numbers of American troops behind
the lines while training, would sur
round them with seasoned veterans
and under actual battle conditions
school them to be rebrigaded later
with fresh American troops coming to
France In this way the efficiency Of
the British and French forces is ex-
pected to be increased and the work
of building up great, fully trained
and completely equipped fighting force
in France is expected TO be hastened.
In addition to this, as illustrative
of the unity of command under which
Foch directs all the allied armies, II
was stated officially here that
Foch commands the Italian troops
in Italy as fully as he does the Amer
lean, British and French troops in
France and Belgium. There has been
no question that Foch commanded
the Italian troops in France and It
had been supposed that, considering
the Italian front as part of the west
ern battle under a decision reached
at the Versailles conference, the gen.
eralissimo's authority extended there
For the first time, however, it was
stated unreservedly that General
Foch's supreme command extended to
Italy.
II was stated also that Italy, besides
now sending troops to France in num-
bers equal to those being sent from
the United States, now has on her
fighting line larger army, more per-
fectly equipped than she had before
the great Austrian drive. This may
be explanatory Of the apparent eqau-
nimity with which the Allied leaders
face recurrent reports of new drive
on the Italian front.
The information that the brigaded
Allied divisions in the west probably
will be placed under the command of
General Pershing when the numbers
OF American troops contained in them
predominate, was taken to mean that
the same principle would operate
when the predominating numbers
were French or British.

The night of the day before he
reached Bradford. No. 9, the mail and
express train going east, was held up
by train-robberies, the Wells-Fargo
messenger killed over his safe, the
mail-clerk wounded, the bags carried
away. The engine No. 6 came into
town minus wen a tender, and en-
gineer and fireman told conflicting
stories. A posse of railroad men and
citizens, led by a sheriff Duane sus-
pected was crooked, was made up be-
fore the engine steamed back to pick
up the rest of the train. Duane had
the sudden inspiration that he had
been cudgeling his mind to find and,
acting upon ii, he mounted his horse
again and left Bradford unobserved.
He rode at an easy trot most of
the night, selected an exceedingly
rough, roundabout, and difficult course
to Ord, hid his tracks with the skill
of a long-hunted fugitive, and arrived
there with his horse winded and COW
cred with lather. II added consid@-
able to his arrival that the man
Duane remembered as Fletcher and
several others saw him come in the
back way through the lots and jump
a fence into the road.
Duane led Bullet up to the porch
where Fletcher stood wiping his
beard. He was hatless, vestless, and
evidently had just enjoyed a morning
drink.

la~conically.
Duane replied. and the other man
returned the greeting with interest.
