PRESIDENT TALKS PEACE
In a Speech At Baltimore
Congress He Says that the
United States has Learned
What War Bought Ter
ritory Means.

Baltimore, Mr., May 3-President Taft
in his speech at the opening of the
third national peace conference here
today said the United States would
keep hands off and not seek to eX-
tend its domain or to acquire foreign
territory. He made no mention OF
Mexico but to those who heard him
it was evident that the trouble there
and the suspicion in the South Amer
lean republics as to the intention of
this country in regard to its southern
neighbors had inspired him
"One of the difficulties the United
States finds is the natural suspicious
that the countries engaged, have of
the United States, and in rendering
its good Offices" continued the pres
ident, the asseveration of good
faith helps but little where the
suspicion is real, and yet / like to
avail myself of an opportunity in
such a presence as this to assert that
there is not in the whole length and
breadth of the United States among
its people any desire for territorial
aggrandizement and that its people AZ
whole will not permit the govern
ment if it would, to take any steps
in respect to foreign peoples, looking
to forcible extension of our political
power u
I'VE have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what
responsibilities they entail, and their
burdens. losses and horrors. and we
would have none of them. We have a
magnificent domain of our own in
which we are attempting to work out
any show to the world success in
popular government and we need no
-aore territory in which to show thes.
The president was particularly in
terested in a speech by DIR. J. A. Nc
Donald, editor of the Toronto Cana
da) Globe, a warm advocate of recip-
rocity.
IF that arbitration treaty between
your country and England is ratified,
said Dr. Donald. the name of William
Howard Taft will be remembered in
world history so long as man loves
peace Above all other nations. Can
ada has the greatest at stake in the
proposed treaty; she has the most to
gain by peace. the most to lose by
war. Canada desires the pact not for
herself alone but for the sake of the
whole world. The time to do ii is at
hand If I ever had the right TO
speak for my country or for the
empire to which 1 belong. it is now,
and / ask that the parliament of Great
Britain and the congress of the UNI
ted States join to insure the peace OF
the whole world"
President Taft returned to Wash
ington Immediately after the meet
ing.

The American City Will Be More

Douglas, Ariz., May 3.-Reports
were received here today from the

rebel leaders of Sonora had succeeded

rebels must fire directly into the
American people on this side of the
line
Every shot from any angle fired by
an attacking party must be aimed
toward Douglas. Only the bullets
stopped by intervening obstructions
will fall short of the American line.
The United States army officers
here are in possession of all this in
formation. Many maps have been
made showing the topography of~the
towns and Washington has been fully
advised as to the danger threatening
American citizens.
The people here are naturally averse
to vacating their homes in the event
of renewed hostilities. The nearest
town which could shelter them is Bis
bee, thirty-five miles distant. and
north there is only treeless govern
ment land.
