Associated Press.) Mapor Raoul
Lufbery of the American flying corps
has been killed In an aerial battle.
He will be burled tomorrow with full
military honers In which both Amer

The German machine which
brought Lufbery down was armed
with two machine guns with an op

caped. Lufbc-ry'g only wound, aside
from those received when he crashed
to earth, was a bullet hole thru the
thumb. Apparently the same bullet
punctured one of the gasoline tanks
ir the machine.
The German machine was under
heavy anti-aircraft fire several times

NEW YORK, May 20. The Amer
ican Red Cross drive for a second
$100,000,000 war fund, was opened
Saturday night by President Wilson,
in an address at the Metropolitan
Opera house. 1
To win the war the United States
is determined to set no restrictions
on the number of men to be sent to
France, President Wilson In his
speech reaffirming the purpose of
America to sot no limit on Its effort,
declared.
As many men will go overseas as
ships can be found to carry them, the
president said, after referring to
statements that have been made that
3,000,000 should go.
The United States, said ho, would
not be diverted by insincere talk of
peace from the Teutonic powers.
Their proposals, he declared, spring
from a desire to have a free ! and in
the east.
"I Intend to stand by Russia as
well as Franco," he said.
Complete Speech
The president's speech in full fol
lows:
Sir. Chairman and fellow coun
trymen:
'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 intimate in
tent with which I listened to the
extraordinarily vivid account he gave
of the things which he had realized
because he had come in contact with
them on the other side of the waters.
"We compass them with Our imag
ination; he compassed them In his
personal experience and I am not
come here tonight to review for you
the work of the Red Cross; I am not
competent to do so because 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.
Duty to Win War
"There are two duties with which
we are face to face. The first duty
is to win tho -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.
"Of course, the first duty, the duty
that we must keep in 'the foreground
of our thoughts, until it is accom
plished, is to win tho war. I have
heard gentlemen recently say that
we must get 5,000,000 men ready
Why limit it to five million?
"I have asked the congress of the
United States to name no limit, bo.
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.
Ignore- Insincere Pntco
"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 them Insincere. I now recog
nize them for what they aro, an op
portunity to have a free hand, par
tlciilarly In the east, to carry out
purposes of conquest and exploita
tion. .
"Every proposal with regard to
accommodation In the west, Involves
a reservation with regard to the east.
Now, so far as I am concerned, I In
tend to stand by Russia as well as
France."
A volco from tho audience Inter
upted with:
"God bless you."
"The helpless and tho friendless
nre the very ones that need friends
and succor; and If any men in, Ger
many think we are going to sacrlflco
anybody for our own sake, I tell them
now they are mistaken.
A Kltflit for Mankind
"For the glory of this war, my
fellow citizens. Insofar as we are
concerned. Is thnt It Is, perhaps for
the first time In history, an unselfish
war. I could not bo proud to fight
for a selfish purpose, but I can be
proud to fight for mankind. If they
wish peace let them come forward
thru accredited representatives and
lay their terms on tho table. We have
laid ours, and they know what they
are.
"But, behind all this grim purpose,
m friends, lies tho opportunity to
demonstrate not only force which
will be demonstrated to the utmost,
but the opportunity to demonstrate
character, and it Is that opportunity
thai we have most conspicuously In
the work of the Red Cross. Not that
our men In arms do not represent our
character, for they do, and It Is a
character, which those who see and
recognize, appreciate and admire.
But their duty is the duty of force.
The duty of the Rod Cross 1b the duty
of mercy and succor and friendship.
What the War Ikies
"Have you formed a 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 a hundred years of peace could
have knitted this nation together as
I this slni'la Voai nf wn ha, bntttorl It
together; and better even than that,
it possible, It is knitting the world
together.
"Look at the picture. In the cen
ter of the scene, four nations engag
ed against the world, and at every
point of advantage showing that they
are seeking selfish aggrandizement;
and against them, twenty-three gov
ernments representing tho greater
part of the population of the world.
tho recognized and accepted Instru-1 extends all over the world, nnd Ibis
mentality of mercy and succor. And ! cross which these ladles bore today
one, of the deepest stains that rests i is an emblem of Christianity Itself,
upon the reputation of the German
army Is that they have not respected
the Red Cross.
' "That goes to the root of the mat
tor. They have not respected the
Instrumentality they themselves par
ticipated in setting up as the thing
which no man was to touch, because
It was the expression of common hu
manity. We aro members by being
members of the Red Cross, of a great
fraternity and comradeship which
"It fills my Imagination, ladles
and gentlemen, to think of tho wom
en u H over this country who are busy
tonight and busy every night and
every day doing the work of the Red
Cross, busy with a great eagerness
work that all their hoarts aro en
gaged In, and in doing which their
hearts became acquainted with each
other.
V Great Intlmnto Family
"When you think of this, you real

"The secretary of war told me an
interesting incident tho other dny.
He said when he was in Italy, a mem
ber of the Italian government was
explaining to him the many reasons
" 'If you wan to try an interesting
experiment, go up toany one of
these troop trains and ask In English
how many ot them havo been in
America, and see what happens.' .
"He tried the experiment. He went
up to a troop train and said: 'How
many of you boys havo been In Anior
ica?' and he said it seemed to him as
if half of them sprang up: 'Me from
San Francisco; me from New York;

"There was part of tho heart of
America in the Italian army, people
that had been knitted to us by asso
ciation who knew us, who had lived
amongst us, who had worked shoul
der to shoulder with us, and now,
friends of America, were fighting for
their native Italy.
Itlmling Friendship -
Friendship is the only cement
that will ever hold the world togeth
er. And this intimate contact of the
Red Cross with the peoples who are
suffering the terrors and depriva
tions of this war is going to be ono
of the greatest instrumentalities of
friendship that the world ever knew,
and the center of the heart of it all,
if we sustain It properly; 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? Tho duty that
faces us' all now is to servo one an
other 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 or
you are old enough I am old enough
to remember men who made for
tunes out of the civil war, and you
know how they are regarded by their
fellow citizens. That was a war to
save one country this Is a war to
save the world.
"(five to Itl Cross"
"And your relation to tho Red'
Cross is ono of the relations which
will rollovo you of tho stigma. You
cannot glvo anything to tho govern
ment of tho United States. It won't
accept It. There Is a law of congress
against 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 greet channel for giving is the
American Red Cross.
"Down in your hearts, you cannot
take very much satisfaction, in the
last analysis, In lending money to the
government of tho United States, bo
cause the interest which you draw
will burn your pockets; It Is a com
mercial transaction and some men
havo dared to cavil at tho "rate ot
Interst, not knowing the Incidental
commentary tha constitutes upon
their attitude.
"But when yon give, something of
your heart, something ot your soul,
something of yourself, goes with the
gift, particularly when It Is given in
such form that It never can conic
back by way of direct benefit to
yourself. You know there Is the old
cynical nonnttlon of grntltudo as
"tho lively expectation of favors to
come."
"Well, there Is no expectations of
favors to come in this kind of giving,
These things are bestowed In order
that tho world may be a fitter place
In which to live, that men may be
sucenrred, that homes may bo restor
ed; thnt suffering may be relieved;
that tho face of the earth may have
the blight of destruction taken away
from It, and that wherever force goes
there shall go mercy and helpfulness.
Give All russlblo
"And when you give, give abso
lutely all that you can spare, and do
not consider yourself liberal in the
giving. If you give with self-adulation,
you are not giving at all, you
aro giving to your own vanity; hut
if you glvo until It hurts, then your
heart blood goes Into It.
"And think what we have hero.
We call It the American Hod Cross,
but It is merely a branch of a great
International organization, which is
not only recognized by the laws of
each of the civilized governments of
the world, but It Is recognized by In
ternational agreement and treaty as

"A great net of mercy drawn through
an ocean of unspeakable pain"
Another Good Investment
a 7E paid out some Red Cross money a while back.
Paid it out---and forgot it. That's how much it hurt.
Might not be a bad idea to have a look at what that money
has been doing. '
That money went, dollar for dollar, where it did a
full day's work, wherever it was.
Three cents of it may have had the honor of disin
fecting with iodine the three torn wounds of an American
soldier on the French front. Or it may have had the less
noble responsibility of pinning a warm flannel belly-band
around six-year-old Antoine out back of Noyon.
! ' No use, we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents'
worth: v j
1 There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to
Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your
Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots
and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the
repatriated people.
Three years ago these people were prosperous and
'contented self-respecting, steady, saving, hard-working,
everyday, small-town citizens.
r Now they have the "earth under them and the sky
over them" not one thing else.
i It's for you to say whether this great work of mercy
shall stop.
s The Red Cross is yours, just as our Army and Navy
are yours; yours to support with the same fervor and
loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your purse for
Liberty Bonds,
It's for your voice to say .whether your Red Cross
shall falter now or sweep onward, greater and more help
ful than ever before. ,
And it's your dollars that must answer.
Every cent of every dollar received for the Red Cross War Fund goes for War Relief.
