j. S. SETS NO LIMIT
ON MEN TO WIN WAR
Says President Wilson in Open
ing Red Cross Drive.
"WAR TO SAVE THE WORLD"
Nations Chief Declares This Country
Will Not Be Diverted BY Insincere
Talk OF Peace BY
Germans.

New York.-Opening with speech
here the American Red Cross drive
for second $1O0,000,0O0 war fund,
President Wilson announced the pur-
pose of the United States to set no
limit on it's 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,
am sure, as we all intend, that every
ship that can carry men or supplies
shall go laden upon every voyage with
every man and every supply she can
carry"
The United States, the President
declared, will not be diverted from
its purpose of winning the war by
insincere approaches on the subject
of peace.
II can say with clear conscience,
he said, that have tested those in
teltions and have found them insin-
cere. l now recognize them for what
they are-an opportunity to have a
free hand, particularly in the East,
to carry out purposes of conquest and
exploitation. Every proposal with re-
gard to accommodation in the West
involves reservation in regard to
the East. l intend to stand by Rus
STA as well as France"
The statement brought the house
to it's feet cheering.
German rulers, the President de-
clared, are mistaken if they think the
United States will sacrifice anybody
for its own sake.
"If they wish peace, let them come
forward and lay their terms
on the table. We have laid ours and
they know what they are" he said.
The war, the President declared, is
a war to save the world. The con-
fict, he said, will knit the world to-
gether.
Dwelling on the duty Of Americans
to give to the Red Cross, the Presi-
dent declared 70 man could afford to
make money oft Of the war

BIG CANNON SIEGE
OF PARIS FAILS

PARIS, Aug. 21.-Convinced that
their armies would reach the confines
of Paris in their last offensive. the
German commanders, says the Peti:
Parisien, prepared special siege artil-
lery with which to render the city
untenable. The guns that were TO be
used for this purpose had never been
fired anywhere except on the testing
grounds, and even the German SOL
diers were unaware OF their exist
ence.
The largest were sixteen-inch CALI
ber, with a fattened trajectory. Each
gun was about sixty feet long and
weighed 110 tons, the range being
more than thirty miles and the shells
weighing 1.6OO pounds each. Each
shell was three feet long and charged
with seventy-ive pounds OF explo-
sives.
The guns (ere already mounted on
trucks, awaiting the signal that would
send them to their newly prepared po-
sitions. They were to have been
placed on concrete platforms, which
could be built In from ten to fifteen
days. As Paris is shaped like an
ellipse, with the major axis seven and
a half miles long, the city would have
been an easy target.
1t was intended to let the shells fall
in a haphazard manner, with the OBJ
ject OF terrorizing the people. The
journal adds: Happily fate decided
otherwise. and the Germans were
forced to retreat"
