Text of President's Speech. $"he president's speech in full fol- "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Country­ men--I should be very sorry to think that Mr. Davison in any degree cur­ tailed his exceedingly interesting speech for fear that he was postpon­ ing mine, because I am sure you listened with the same intense and in­ timate interest with which I listened to 'the extraordinarily vivid account he .gave of the things which he had realized because he had come in con­ tact with them on the other side of the waters. "We compass them with our imagin­ ation; he compassed them in his per­ sonal experience. And I am not come herfe tonight to review for you the wock.of the Red Cross. "I am not competent to do so be­ cause I have not had the time or the opportunity to follow it in detail. "I have come here simply to say a few words to you as to what it all seems to me to mean, and it means a great deal. * Won't Limit Army to 4,000,000. There are two duties with which ;M are face to face. The first duty is to win the war. And the second duty, that goes hand-ln-hand with it, Is to. win it greatly and worthily,, showing the real quality of our pow­ er not only but the real quality of our purpose and of ourselves. "Of course, the first duty, the duty that we must keep in the foreground of our thought until it Is accomplished. Is to win the war. **I have heard gentlemen recently aay that we must get 5,000,000 men ready: Why limit It to 5,000,000? "I have asked the congress of the United States to name no limit be­ cause the congress Intends, I 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. Peace Offers insincere. "And we are not to be diverted from the grim purpose of winning the war by any insincere approaches upon the subject of peace. I can say with a clear conscience that I have tested those intimations and have found tilem insincere. "I now recognize them for what they are--all opportunity to have a free hand, particularly in the East, ta, curry out purposes of conquest and exploitation. '"Every proposal with regard to ac­ commodation in the West involves a reservation with regard to the East. Mow, so far as I am concerned, I in­ tend to stand by Russi* as well as Frace."

The duty of the Red Cross is the duty of mercy and succor and friendship. ^ Itfar Uniting the World. "Have you formed a picture in your Imagination of what this war Is doing for us and for the world? "In nay own mind I am convinced that not a hundred years of peace could have knitted this nation togeth­ er .as this single year of war hns knit­ ted it together; and better even th$& that, if possible, it is knitting 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 seek­ ing selfish aggrandizement; and, against them, twenty-three govern­ ments representing the greater part of the population of the world, drawn, to­ gether into a new sense of community of Interest, a new sense of community of purpose, a new sense of unity of life. "The secretary of war told me an Interesting Incident the other day. He said when he was in Italy a member of the Italian government was explain­ ing to him the many reasons why Italy felt near to the United States. Heart of U. S. in Italy. " 'If you want to try an interesting experiment go up to any one of these troop trains and ask in English how many of them have been in Amtrica, and see what happens.' "He tried the experiment. He went up to a troop train and he said: 'How many of you boys have been In Amer­ ica?' and he said It seemed to him as If half of them sprang up: 'Me from San Francisco; me from New York; all over.' "There was part of the heart of America in the Italian army. People that had been knitted to us by associ­ ation, who knew us, who had lived amongst us, who had worked shoulder to shoulder with us, and now friends of America, were fighting for their na­ tive Italy. i Assails War Profiteers. Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. And this intimate contact of the Red Cross with the people who are suffering the terrors and deprivations of this war is going to be one of the greatest Instru­ mentalities of friendship. that the world ever knew, and the center of the heart of it all, if we sustain it proper­ ly, will be this land that we so dearly love. My friends, a great day of duty has come, and duty finds a man's soul as no kind of work can ever find it. "May I say this? The duty that faces us all now is to serve one another, and no man can afford to make a fortune out of this war. There are men amongst us who have forgotten that, if they ever saw it. Some of you are old enough--I am old enough--to remember men who made fortunes out of the Civil war, and you know how they were regard­ ed by their fellow citizens. That was war to save one country--this is a war. to save the world." Better to Give Than Lend. MAnd your relation to the Red Cross is one of the relations which will re­ lieve you of the stigma. Tou can't give anything to the government of the United States; it won't accept it. There is a law of congress against ac­ cepting even services without pay. The only thing that the government will accept is a loan, and duties per­ formed; but it is a great deal better to give than to lend or to pay and your great channel for giving Is the Ameri­ can Red Cross. Down in your hearts you can't take very much satisfaction, in the last analysis, in lending money to the gov­ ernment of the United States, because the interest which you draw •will burn your pockets; it is a commercial trans­ action, and some men have even dared to cavil at the rate of interest, not knowing the Incidental commentary that constitutes upon their attitude. "But when you give, something of your heart, something of your soul, something of yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it Is given In such form that It never can come back by way of direct benefit to yourself. You know there Is the old cynical defi­ nition of gratitude, as 'the lively ex­ pectation of favors to come.' Make World Fitter Place to Live. "Well, there is no expectation of fa- for her," he says, "for in that case one could not call it a true peace. It will only be an armistice whose burden of armaments will bring us to a state of total exhaustion. We cannot for­ ever hold the entire world under domi­ nation. "The situation of our country is most serious in spite of the successes we have won. It Is Impossible to be mistaken when one coolly considers face to face the resources which our adversaries have at their disposal.

"And when you give, give absolutely aH that you can spare, and don't con­ sider yourself liberal In the giving. If you give with self-adulation, you are not giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity; but If you give until It hurts, then your heart blood goes Into it, "And think what we have here. We call It the American Red Cross, but tt is merely a branch of a great interna­ tional organization, which is not only recognized by the statutes of each of the civilized governments of the world, but It is recognized by international agreement and treaty as the reconlssed and accepted instrument of mercy and succor. " ' " "And one of the deepest stains that rests upon the reputation of the Ger­ man army Is that they have not res­ pected the Red Cross. Cross Emblem of Christianity. "That goes to the root of the matter. They have not respected the Instru­ mentality they themselves participated in setting up, as the thing which no man was to touch, because It was the expression of common humanity. "We are members, by being members of the American Red Cross, of a great fraternity and comradeship which ex­ tends ail over the world, and this cross which these ladies bore today is an emblem of Christianity itself. "It fills my Imagination, ladles an<l gentlemen, to think of the women all over this country who are busy to­ night ahd are busy every night and every day doing the work of the Red Cross; busy with a great eagerness to find out the most serviceable thing to do; busy with a fo.rgetfuiness of all the old frivolities of their social rela­ tionships, ready to curtail the duties of the household in order that they may contribute to this common work that all their hearts are engaged in, and in doing which their hearts be­ come acquainted with each other. Drawn Into Great Family. ,!When you think of this you real­ ize how the people of the United States are being drawn together Into a great intimate family, whose heart is being used for the service of the soldiers not only, but the service of civilians where they suffer and are lost In a maze of distress'and distractions. And you have, then, this noble pic­ ture of justice and mercy as the two servants of liberty. For only where men are free do they think the thoughts of oomandership; only where they are free do they think the thoughts of sympathy; only where they are free are they mutually helpful; only where they are free do they realize their dependence upon one another, and their comradeship In a common interest and common neces­ sity. "I heard a story told the other day that was ridiculous, but It Is worth re­ peating because It contains the germ of truth. An Indian was enlisted In the army. He returned to the reservation on a furlough. He was asked what he thought of it He said: 'No much good; too much salute; not much shoot.' Then he was asked: 'Are you going back?' 'Yes' "'Weil, do you know what you are fighting for?' 'Yes, me know; fight to make whole damn world Democratic party.' "He had evidently misunderstood some innocent sentence of my own. "But, after all, although there is no party purpose in it, he got It right as far as the word "party;' to make the whole word democratic in the sense of community of interest and of purpose, and if you ladies and gentlemen could react some of the touching dispatches Which come through official channels, for even through official channels there come voices of humanity that are infinitely pathetic; if you could catch some of those voices that speak the utter longing of oppressed and helpless peoples all over the world to hear something like the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic,' to hear the feet of the great hosts of liberty going to set them free, to set their minds free, set their lives free, set their children free, you would know what comes into the heart of those who are trying to contribute all the brains and power they have to this great enterprise of liberty. "I summon you to the comradeship. I summon you to say how much and how sincerely and how unanimously you sustain the heart of the world." The president marched on foot through Fifth avenue earlier in the day at the head of. 75,000 soldiers of mercy. Then, standing in the reviewing stand, he gravely saluted the colors as the women of the Red Cross filed past. They marched In a seemingly endless line, bearing their flags as bravely and wearing their uniforms as proudly as the nation's fighting men.

Six German tanks ap­ peared in front of the British line and British infantry positions. A call for help was sent to the nearest British tank camp and a squadron, Including both "male" and "female" tanks, shortly appeared on the scene. A rough-and-tumble combat ensued. The Biltish "female" tanks, which ap­ peared first, were outfought but the arrival of the heavier "male" tanks completely changed the situation and the Germans fled after receiving a bad beating. Meanwhile the British had brought up seven of the new fast­ er uisei ivue. called "WhiDDet tanks'* •, French Workers Make Pact.

Big Guns Open Way. German prisoners taken in the drive thus far total more than four hun­ dred, Field Marshal Haig announced In his official dispatch from head­ quarters In France. At every point the French struck they gained ground, although the ob­ jectives set before the attacks were limited.' Late in the afternoon the French and British guns began a bombard­ ment of the German positions which steadily grew in violence as the night set In. By midnight the big guns had at­ tained their maximum output of shells, and the lighter artillery be­ gan to beat the deadly drum fire which preceded the series of dashing charges the Pollus later made with cold steel. Berlin Says Attack Failed. As a result of the brilliant stroke, the allied line has been greatly im­ proved, and the French and British occupy much more valuable and stronger positions for the offensive which military experts are confident will follow with the recapture of Mount Kemmel as the objective. The French victory reported by Marshal Halg is not admitted by the communique from German general headquarters, which claims that "strong French attacks ^on Mount Kem­ mel broke down with heavy losses." General Van Arnim captured Mount Kemmel on April 25, after an all-day battle. British Make Gains.

With the American Army in France, May 18.--Troops of the new American army have arrived within the zone of the British forces In northern France and are now completing their training in the area occupied by the troops which are blocking the path of the Germans to the channel ports. They are not troops detached from General Pershing's present forces, but are part of the new movement of troops from the United States fore­ cast by Premier Lloyd George some time ago. Left Home Two Months Ago. Washington, May 18.--Evidence of the success of emergency measures to move American man power to aid the French and British in repelling the German drive came with the an­ nouncement that American troops had gone into training behind the British lines in Flanders. General Pershing's men have been in line with the French and British in front of Amiens for some time, but the decision to send additional forces from this country .direct • to the Brit­ ish army was made after the great German drive was well under way. Men Are "in Training." Less than two months has been re­ quired to get the first of these troops across the sea and into position. Nothing Is available to Indicate the identity or numbers of the men in Flanders. It is probable, however, that the National army regiment re­ viewed recently by King, George is included. The men are described as being "In training" in the British zones. That is taken here to mean that they are being brigaded with British divisions in reserve and will get their final seasoning quickly through close asso­ ciation with the veterans of Sir Doug­ las Haig's army.

The statement reads: "Six P. M., Headquarters American Expeditionary Forces--Northwest jf Toul and In Lorraine there was a marked increase in artillery activity on both sides. "Our aviators brought down three German machines. There Is nothing else of importance to report. "In Lorraine, May 12, three snipers' scouts of the intelligence service went out in camouflage sniping suits to find German snipers and encountered 18 of the enemy at a strong point near a dugout. They shot four, of whom one appeared to be >an offlcet*, secured val­ uable papers and retired under heavy fire. "On May 12 three officers of our aviation forces were cited in orders by the commanding general of a French army corps and decorated with the Croix de Guerre: Maj.

One hundred German airplanes were shot down Wednesday and Thursday by the French and British--fifty-seven by the former and forty-three by the latter. The British accounted for fif­ ty-seven on Wednesday, destroying twenty-five. The Berlin war office claims thirty- three French and British airplane# were shot down in the fighting on Wed­ nesday.

RaoarLufl^ry, the first American ace to be killed as the result of an aerial fight, was bur­ ied on Monday with full military hon­ ors by French and American detach­ ments. With the American Army in France, May 22.--Maj. Raoul Lufbery, who has been regarded as the best aviator in the American service, was shot down in flames and killed Sunday morning by a big German triplane which he was attacking. Lufbery jumped from his flaming machine when 800 yards above the ground. He had 17 victories to his credit. Lufbery's home was in Wailingford, Conn. The German machine which brought Lufbery down was armed with two machine guns, with an operator for each piece. Lufbery's only wound, aside from those he received when, he crashed to earth, was a bullet hole through the thumb. Apparently the same bullet punctured one of the gasoline tanks of his machine. The German machine was under heavy antiaircraft fire several times both before and after the air fight, and one explosion of a shell upset the enemy plane, but it managed to straighten out again. . It was about ten o'clock in the morn­ ing when a German triplane suddenly descended from the clouds, apparently because of engine trouble, until it was only. some 1,500 meters over the city of Toul. The American flyers were on the alert and some of them headed for the fighting line to await the enemy on his return. Lufbery and the pilot of another ma­ chine made after the Germans, who quickly ran away from the direction of the line, the two American ma­ chines following him. Eight miles away from the enemy's line Lufbery •was seen to attack from under the tal, but then he drew off, as'if his ma­ chine gun had jammed. Two minutes later he attacked again from the same position, and almost immediately his machine burst into flames. With the American Army in France, May 22.--A French aviator shot down a „ German plane back of the Lunevllle sector. Two men from the plane were captured by the Americans.' The Ger­ mans came from somewhere In the rear. It Is reported, although not con­ firmed, that this is the machine which brought down Major Lufbery. There has been extraordinary aerial activity all day In this sector. Two hostile airplanes have been brought down by American aviators, says ^n official announcement issued at American headquarters. One of the airplanes shot down carried two officers. Both had been riddled with bullets. FORMS NEW U. S. AIR BODY President Splits Aviation and Signal Corps--Organization Headed by John p, Ryan.
