|RED CROSS
DRIVE OPENED
President Wilson in His Speech
Denotes that Force to the
Uttermost
WILL NOW BE USED

New York, May 20-Opening with
la speech here Saturday night the
Red Crosss drive for a second $780,
100000 war fund, President an
nounced the purpose of the United
States to set no limit on it's efforts to-
win the war.
II have heard gentlemen recently
say," said he, that we must get five
million men ready. Why limit It to
five million? I have asked of Con-
gress to name no limit, because Con-
gress intends, am sure, as we all
intend, that every ship that can car
ry men or supplies shall 90 laden
upon every voyage with every man
every supply she can carry"
The United States, he said, viii
not be diverted by insincere talk Of
Ipeace from the Teutonic powers.
Their proposals, he declared, spring
from a desire to have a free hand in
the east. ttI
II can state with clear con-.
science" he said, that I have tested
those intentions and have found
them insincere. I now recognize
them for what they are, an opportu-
nifty to have a free hand, particular
ly in the East, to carry out purpos-
es of conquest and exploitation. Ev-
cry proposal with regard to accom-
mediation in the West, involves .
reservation in regard to the East. l.
intend to stand by Russia as well n
France"
The statement brought the House
to its feet cheering.
German rulers, the President de-
clared, are mistaken If they think
the United States will sacrifice any
body for its own sake.
IF they wish peace, let them
come forward and ray their terms on
he table. We have laid ours and
they know what they are," he said.
The war, the President declared
a war to save the world. The COZ
flict, he said, will knit the world to-
gether.
Dwelling on the duty Of Amer1-
cans to give to the Red Cross, the
President declared no man could a.
ford to make money out Of the war:
A universal conviction among the.
military and civilian forces of the.
entente that the only way to attain.
peace is to fight on, was reported BY
Henry P. Davidson, chairman of tn
war council Of the American Re6
Cross.
Mr.. Davidson said the military sit
,ation was serious, but he left Eu-
ope confident of the outcome.
Demands on the Red Cross for as
sistance to soldiers and relief Of civ
ilians have increased, he said, and
the organization was meeting those
needs so we'll that American militia
ry and naval leaders were anxious
that it's work be continued and
broadened.
Mr.. Davidson said that relief for
civilians made destitute by the war
necessary as assisting American SOL
diers, since if the soldiers of the al
lies had to drop from the ranks be-
cause of the condition of their fam
lilies, their places would have to be
taken by American men.
