ASQUITH PLEADS FOR ENLISTMENT OF 60M00 MEN 300,000 Already Enrolled But German Successes Compel Additional Soldiers to Save British Honor. Premier Depends on France and Russia and Lauds Patriotic Devotion of British Indian Troops. BY HERBERT TEMPLE, European Manager International News Service. LONDON, Sept. 4. Premier Asquith today appealed to the men of England to volunteer for military service. Despite the enlistment that has been proceeding since Lord Kitchener called for an additional army of 600,000 men, it has not been fast enough to suit the government, which recognizes that the conflict will be long. Between 250,000 and 300,000 have already enlisted, but more are needed. In concluding his appeal to the country for more veterans, the premier says: "We are at present watching the early stages of what is going to be a protracted struggle, so we must steel ourselves to the task and persevere to the end." In the early part of his appeal Premier Asqulth had said: "England has in France and Russia two of the (Continued on Last Page.) rrfSoicfir RECEIVEHARDINALS Gibbons and O'Connell are Warmly Received by New Pontiff of Catholic Church BY BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE International News Service Staff Correspondent. ROME, Sept. 4. Clad in the full pontifical robes, Pope Benedict XV today received in audience the cardinals who yesterday elevated him to the throne of St. Peter. Though the shadow of the great war has hung low over the cardinals since they arrived here for conclave, none of the stately ceremonial incident to the first audience of a new pope was omitted today. The cardinals, filing before the pontiff, kissed his hand and foot, this terminating the ceremony of obedience that began after yesterday's election. Each cardinal was in turn embraced by the Pope, who whispered comforting words to Cardinal Mercier, the aged Belgian prelate. Cardinal Mercier was in tears as he approached the throne, but he turned away there with a smile on his face, the first that has shown since he arrived from Belgium. As soon as the coronation ceremonies are concluded on Tuesday the cardinal will return to his war torn country, for which he has been grieving since he reached Rome. Well in the forefront of the line of prelates were Cardinals Gibbons and O'Connell, who arrived from the United States too late to participate in the conclave. Each was heartily embraced by.

BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, International News Service Staff Correspondent. PARIS, Sept. 4. Within her ring of steel and granite fortresses Paris sits today awaiting the conflict at her gates. All is in readiness to meet the German attack, but there is no panic in the city. Around the capital lie the allied armies of the French and the British, massed for the epic conflict in a last stand against an invading host of such immense proportions that it might be called a nation instead of any army. The tides of life flow quietly and easily through their wonted channels, broke here and there only by the stern measures imposed by military actions. There is no fear, even at night, when the tireless searchlights play strongly and ceaselessly against the sky in search of hostile airships. Wounded Men Arrive. There is no deep anxiety when the trains from the north bring their cargoes of shattered human bodies, mute monuments of the bravery of the English and French soldiers, who are bravely fighting to dam the tidal rush of invasion. One has to go but a few miles north of the city to hear the growl of battle, but a little farther to see the devastation of war. The people of Paris dp not underestimate the strength of the German attack, but they feel secure in the abiljjtfc of te French defenders to save

PRESIDENT ASKS INTERNAL TAXES OF $100,000,000 Wilson Reads Message to Congress Showing Decrease of From $60,000,000 to $100,000,000 in Receipts. Opposes New Bond Issue and Believes Country Able to Raise Internal Revenue Taxes to Meet Deficit. BY LAWRENCE TODD International News Service Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. President Wilson asked congress today to pass measures to raise $100,000,000 additional revenue through internal taxes. Addressing a joint session of the senate and the house of representatives, he suggested that immediate action be taken in order that the sources of revenue chosen should yield a "certain and constant flow." The president stated that during the month of August there was a falling off of $10,629,538 in customs compared with the same month last' year, and pointed out that a continuation of this condition would result for the current fiscal year of a loss of from $60,000,000 to $100,000,000. This is due, he said, to a decrease in imports owing to the extraordinary extent of the European war, and not to the tariff reductions. "Hesitation and delay are the worst forms of bad policy under such condition," said the president after pointing the risk that would be run if the additional revenue were not raised. The address of the president in part follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I come to you today to discharge a duty which I wish with all my heart I might have been spared; but it is a duty which is very clear, and, there-
