TAFT DECLARES
u. S. Is NEUTRAL
President Says Nation win Not Seek
To Extend Domain Or Acquire
Foreign Propcrty-Treaty
Is Commended.

Baltimore, May President Taft
in his speech at the opening of the
Third National Peace Congress to-
day, declared that the United States
would keep hands off and would not
seek to extend its domain or seek
to acquire foreign property. The
President made no mention specf-
ically of Mexico, but he said it
seemed the situation there and the
suspicion of South American coun-
tries regarding the intention of this
nation in regards to its southern
neighbors had surprised him. The
President was speaking of the re-
currence of internal disturbances
IN the countries not so we'll able to
defend themselves and that it was
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the great nations
of this hemisphere to exercise their
kindly and peaceful influences as
much as possible.
The President spoke to several
thousand people in the Lyric thea
ter. Seated on The same bench
with the President was Secretary of
War Dickinson, Senator Gore Of
oklahoma, Cardinal Gibbons and a
dozen other prominent men in the
worlds peace movement.
Hamilton Holt, editor of the In
dependent Magazine, who spoke be-
fore the President, voiced the opin-
ion that the negotiations of the pro-
posed arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
marked the greatest step towards
worlds peace that the world has
had.
AN arbitration of a treaty be-
tween two great nations of the
world" said the speaker, would be
a very important step towards the
worlds peace"
Il do not claim any patent on any
new discovery in that suggestion
because | have no doubt it has Of
ten been said before that if such an
arbitration treaty can be concluded
there is no doubt of its Importance.
But it will not bring an end to war.
1t will be a step only and must not
defeat our purpose by enlarging the
expectations of the world as to what
will happen and then disappoint the
world"
President Taft was particularly
interested in a speech of DR.. j. A.
Mcdonald, editor of the Toronto,
Canada, Globe, who is a warm advo-
cate of the reciprocity agreement.
IF that arbitration between your
country and England is ratified"
said DR.. Mcdonald, ''the name of
William Howard Taft will be re-
membered in the worlds history as
long as the world loves peace"
In addition to the President the
distinguished speakers included An
drew Carnegie, Cardinal Gibbons,
Prof. Leo S. Rowe of the University
of Pennsylvania and DR.. Benjamin
Truebood, representing the Amer
lean Peace Society.
The session of the congress will
continue through Friday.

SHELDON FOR A CONFESSIONAL
The PASTORS Influence for Good In
creased, the Topeka Man Says.

st. Louis, May 3.-The statement
that "The protestant churches need
a confessional" made by the Rev.
Charles NJ Sheldon of Topeka, is
being discussed with interest by
st. Louis ministers. Doctor Shell
don expressed this view in an adj
dress at an annual banquet Of the
st. Louis Congregational Club at
the Southern hotel last night. He
explained that he did not subscribe
to the Catholic doctrine of the con-
fessional as a medium for the for
giveness of sins. He said he be-
lieved in the confessional, in so far
as it afforded an opportunity for a
pastors flock to make him its con-
fidant in trouble.
