FORCE WITHOUT ANY LIMIT
RIGHTEOUS AND TRIUMPHANT
FORCE TILL RIGHT RULES.
Nations Chief Executive Warns Anew
That Triumph for German Arms
Means Ruin for Our Ideals.

Baltimore, April 6.-President
Wilson, at a great Liberty Loan cele-
bration here tonight, gave America s,
answer to the German drive on the
western battle front; to the renewed
propaganda for German made
peace; to all proposals to end the
war before Germany is awakened
from her dream of world dominion.
The Presidents answer was:
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world,
and cast every selfish dominion down
in the dust
President Wilson's acceptance of
FGermany's challenge that the issue
between the Central Powers and her
enemies be settled by force brought
$1,000 persons cheering to their feet:
The President opening the third
Liberty loan campaign, carried his
audience with him in his address.
The house cheered for several min
utes when the President arose to
speak, and it was some minutes be-
fore he could make himself heard.
At the conclusion of the Presidents
address subscriptions were opened
for Liberty bonds. The Savings Bank
of Baltimore Immediately took one
million dollars worth. Other large
amounts were subscribed.
A few hours before the President
spoke he had reviewed a division OF
citizen soldiers, called on a few
months ago from the pursuits Of
peace. now transformed into fighting
men to carry the ideals of America
to the battlefelds of Europe, at the
moment, a million more of their kind
all over the land were celebrating
the opening of the third liberty loan,
and the orders for mobilizing the
first of the great army OF second
million were going out to the coun-
try.
Those were some of the physical
facts which backed his words, when,
after reviewing briefly the evidence
that Germany seeks a peace that
would give her world dominion, the
President declared:
81 accept the challenge. l know
that you accept it. All the world
shall know that you accept it. 1T
shall appear in the utter sacrifice and
self-forgetfulness with which we shall
give all that we love and all that we
have to redeem the world and make
it fit for free men like ourselves to
live in. This now is the meaning OF
what we do. Let everything that we
say, my fellow countrymen, every
thing that we henceforth plan and ac-
complish, ring true to this response
till the majesty and might of our con-
certed power shall fill the thought
and utterly defeat the force of those
who flout and misprize what we
honor and hold dear. .-
Germany has once more said that
force, and force alone shall decide
whether justice and peace shall reign
in the affairs of men; whether right
as America conceives it, or, dominion
as she conceives it, shall determine
the destinies of mankind.
There is, therefore, but one re-
sponse possible from us; force, force
to the utmost, force without stint or
limit, the righteous force which shall
make right the law of the world and
cast every selfish dominion in the
DUST
Warning anew that a triumph OF
arms for Germany means ruin for all
the ideals America has won and lives
for. the President reiterated he was
willing to discuss at any time falr
Just and honest peace, sincerly pro-
posed, a ''peace in which the strong
and weak shall fare alike
But the answer" said he, when |
proposed such a peace, came from the
German commanders in Russia, and
I cannot mistake the meaning OF the
answer"
"They are enjoying in Russia the
President declared, cheap triumph
in which no brave or gallant nation
can long take pride. A great people,
helpless by their own acts, lies Tor
the time at their mercy. Their fair
professions are forgotten. They no.
where set up justice. but everywhere
impose their power and exploit every
thing for their own use and aggrand-
izement, and the people of conquered
provinces are invited to be free under
their dominion.
The President's declaration that
nothing j.; proposed for Germany put
was his statement that Germany's
course in Russia is cheap triumph.
The Presidents arrival had been the
signal for a great demonstration. TIE
hall was packed with about $4,000
persons.
Thousands were at the doors un-
able to gain entrance. Long lines
formed in front of the armory as
early as 6 o'clock.
Former Gov. Goldsborough, in
Producing the President, declared that
out of the war would come new
world, dedicated to liberty, Mr. Colds
borough, Republican, said that all
parties in the country must rally pc
hind the Executive.
This is no time," said said Mr..
Goldsborough, Ito criticise the gov
