APPEAL IS FOR LIBERTY Ei-Prcmicr VivlanI ICtes Ttusli of Trcncli Laboring Men. to De fense of Nation as Proof War Is Not to Aid Wealthy. CHICAGO. May 5. How the French army, although improperly armed and ammunitioned, met the Germans on the Marne and whipped them in 1914 was told briefly tonight by Marshal Joffre of France in his second speech in Amer ica before 15,00u shouting: men, women and children. After the large ampitheater had been filled a fire destroyed a $150,000 build ing a block from the .meeting. Fire men muffled the engines and the audi ence was not alarmed. Many work men had been allowed a half holiday to see the famous visitors comprising the French mission, and all the ad dresses appealed to them. Wild Cheer Greet Joffre. Marshal Joffre addressed his wildly cheering auditors as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen: I am happy to salute the city of Chicago in this assembly where all classes of society are represented. This assembly reminds me of France at the moment of the declaration of war in August, 1914. The German! had assailed us in a brutal at tack, hoping within a hort time to de stroy France by many barbarous blows. The danger was caught in the act. "All the French people ran to the border. The farmer, the workman, in fact, all French people were standing at the border. The fight was hard, but at last we were successful and stopped the enemy. The' battle of the Marne stopped them completely at that time. Army at Front and In Shops. "We were in need of munitions. We were in need of guns and rifles. Then we took from the ranks of the army all the special workmen to .make (guns, bullets and bombs, and from that time the French army is comprised of those who fight at the front and those who make it possible to fight at the front. There is the army at the front and the army in the shops and factories, and it is from the army at the front and the army of the shops that I bring, greeting to you. "I bring the greetings of the whole French army to the population of Chicago and atove all to the working men of this city, among whom I - am happy to find myself today. All French workmen are mobilized and all are working heart and soul in thercdm mon cause; each is accomplishing his duty in a victorious- way. I am sure that all American workmen are one in heart with their brother workmsnjn France and are ready, like them, to fight for the final victory of democracy." , . . r .'. .. Tears Dim Joffrc'i Eyes. AVhen tho Marshal of France rose to speak he was given an ovation and, despite efforts to quiet the throng, the cheering lasted seven minutes. Mean while Joffre stood stiffly at salute, moisture in his eyes. And when he had completed and the crowd again cheered madly, his colleagues of the commission embraced hi nr. and congratulated him on the speech. . M. Viviani, former Premier and head of the mission, made his appeal directly to the working people. "Cltisens," he said, "I want for my first word, coming into this great as sembly, to salute your Army already under arms. I salute their city, repre sented by the brothers of those who already have gone to the coast of France, and I want to thank and calute, in the name or the French, the iHboring classes all the laboring classes 1 see before me here today, who have quit their work to come to hear the word of France. , ' "I want, in the name of France, to take advantage of the opportunity which has been given me to answer 'one of the greatest calumnies which have been made against us; that for a few months we have tried to put you : to sleep, making you believe that the actual - war was a war of capital; that 'we were fighting to make money. Do you think . if it were true all your brothers would have rushed' to the front to fight for the' flag? 'Do you think the'French laboring: men and all the working classes would have taken the interest in it that they do take? -Wmr Not lor Conquest." "It is not a war of conquest. It is not t war where France and her allies wh to acquire territory. - It is a war for . humanity and democracy. That is why, in answer to the call of the speakers you have heard here, belonging to your own Nation, you will stand together to enter this war to help France and her allies to fight to avenge the soldiers of the Marne, who fought for right and justice.
