generally to Mir. Taft. President Roose- veit's part of the bargain was to sootha c the uneasiness which has existed In
 Wall Street, and to keep quiet as ,o to term. These stories were put out with out authority and presumably were in- spired by some ulterior motive. Tney
 are declared in the highest quarters to be false. The situation is just this:
 President Roosevelt believes that a reactionary candidate-Hughes Cannon, the Republican party. would inevitably be defeated by the Democratic can6t-
 date. whether that candidate by Bryan or another. He believes that Secretary be elected other than himself. He is certain that Secretary Taft is the one candidate who, if elected, would carry out the Roosevelt policies.
 He is entirely sincere in his desire to obtain the nomination of Secretary Taft. He bound himself at the outset

 Endorsement of his policies. and, there
 fore, compliment equal in effect to his own renomination.
 But he does not propose tO see what he has done overturned by the nomi- nation of a reactsonary. If it develops
 at the Chicago Convention that Taft l can not be nominated. then he will take that nomination himself. He feels
 certain that Taft will be nominated. But if that should fail he is sure that
 he can force through his nomination So far as the reports are concerned
 that he has made bargain with Wall | Street they are true only to this ex- tent: Tn discussing the situation with | various men of national prominence in | financial affairs. he has frankly stated that he considers Secretary Taft a far
 more conservative man that he Is him. self He has praised Mir. Taft's judi ctal temperament. He gives to Mir. Taft credit for keeping from him more than one mistake. He has said that
 Mr. Taft is slow to action and to an
 ger, but he declared Mir. Taft as fully
 committed to his policy as he is him | self.
 In Taft's hands he believes that what
 is known as Roosevelt policies will be carried out without q falter. The only difference may be that Taft may act more cautiously. more conservatlveiy, than the President has at times. There
 will be no step backward.
 In return the President has been told l by the men to whom he has spoken thus 1 frankly that they agreed with him. They, too, are convinced that no reac- l tionary candidate can be elected on the

MORE MONEY FOR AMERICA
BY HENRI DUBOIS.


 Paris, March 21.-No one in Europe talks or thinks of peace any more Even the smallest and least warlike na' tions are increasing their military ex' penditures.
 Spain has increased her military budget from 147 to 159 pesetas. the increase having been made to provide new field and siege guns On the Scandinavian peninsula Norway and Sweden have both increased theil army and navy.
 Switzerland has changed it's military service laws and In the future each man capable of bearing arms must serve from fifteen to twenty one days longer each year. The law was chang ed by popular vote s2e.0oo voting for and 2s6.000 against the patriotism oi this small nation.
 Holland is going to spend two mill ion francs more on her army this year than last.
 Russia is not satisfied with having an army as large as it had before the Japanese war. she wants to increase il and new law provides for an army of 100000 men during time of peace 2oo.00o more men than before. and her military budget has grown with i5c million ronbles.
 Thanks to the efforts of Mir. Har- dane. the British minister of war will be able to mobilize an army of i6s, coo without an effort. against the former limit of 100000.
 Italy has made an appropriation oi sixty million fires for extraordinary military expense. Germany's military budget for 1908 surpasses last years by nifty million marks. and has now passed the billion mark. while 6S0 mill ions marks are to be spent on the navy Altogether the German army and navy will cost the taxpayers 12s miiilOn marks more this year than last.

 President Roosevelt had no confer ence with J.
