Secretary Ta$t's Campaign.

Oxford, Ohio, June Is Secretary
of War Taft delivered a carefully pre-

national and domestic issues of the
day at the annual commencement ex-
ercises of Miami University today.
Referring to the successful part
the United States is playing in the
effort to bring about peace in the
Far East, he said: s'The President
felt justified in speaking to the BEL
ligerents a message from the world
that the time had come for q settle
ment by peaceful means of the con-
troversies between the two nations,
and for ending the awful loss of life
and property, and of the woeful d.
sturbances to business thata contin-
uance of the war entails. The per-
sonality of the President had much
to do with the willingness of the
powers to allow him to intervene"
