 q have heard gentlemen recently say" he said. that we must get five million men ready. Why limit 1t to flee miliiOP have asked of congress to name 10 limit, because congress in- tends. 1 am sure as we all intend4 that every ship that can carry men or sup plies shall go laden upon every voyage with every man and every supply she can carry.
 The UIitad States. the president de- clared will not be diverted from it's purpose of winning the war by in- sincere approaches on the subject or peace.

Every proposal with regard to accommodation in the west involves a reservation in regard to the east. in- tend 10 stand by Russia as well as France"
 German rulers" the president de clared are mistaken, if they think the United States will sacrifice anybody for its own sake
 The war the president declared, is a war to save the world. The conflict he said, will knit the world together. Dwelling on the duty of Americans to give .he Red Cross the president de- clared mnan could afford to make money out of the war.
 No Limit on Effort
 To, win the war >he United States is determined to set no restrictions on the number of men to be sent to France, President Wilson declared here tonight in a speech reaffirming the purpose of America to set no lim- it on its effort
 As ilany men will go overseas as ships can be found to carry thief, the president said, after referring to a statement that has been made that D. 00O,000 should go.
 The United States, he said will not be diverted by insincere talk of peace from ne TeutOnic powers. Their pro posals he declared, spring from a de- sire to have a free hand in the east.
 'I intend to stand by Russia as well as France he said.
 The presidents speech follows:
 MT Chairman and fellow country men:
 Il should be very sorry to thing that MT. Davidson in any degree cprtailed his exceedingly interesting speech for fear that he was postpOning mine, be- cause am sure you listened with the same intimate intent with which I listened to the extraordinarily vivid accoua: he gave of the things which he had realized because he had come in contact with them on the other side of te .J9tCTs
 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.
 And we are not to be diverted from the grim purpose of winning the war by insincere approaches upon the sub ject of peace. l can say with a clear conscience thta I have tested these intimations and have found them in- sincere. I now recognize them for what they are, an opportunity to have a free hand, particularly in the east to carry cut purposes of conquest and exploitation.
 Every proposal with regard to ac- commodation in the west involves a reservation With regard to the east. Now. so far as l am concerned, fn- tend to stand by Russia as we'll as France"
 A voice from the audience inter rupted with:
 "God bless you"
 "The helpless and the friendless are the very ones that need friends and succor; and if any man in Germany thinks we aer going to sacrifice any body for our own sake. I tell them now they are mistaken.
 Knits Nation Together
 Have you formed 9 picture in your imagination of what this war Is doing for us and for the world? In my own mind I am convinced that not hun dred years of peace could have knitted this nation together as this single year of war has knitted the world together.
 Look at the picture. In the center of the scene, four nations engaged against the world. and at every point of vantage showing that they are seeking selfish egregandizement. and. against them g governments repre- senting the greater of the population of the world drawn together into a new sense or community Of inteers..
