SHORTEST HOT WAR

vienna.-Turkey's admission of de-

marking the conclusion Of the shortest
and at the same time one of the fierc-

The declarations of hostilities issued

''e''N'''
New York.-President Taft sang his
"Swan Song" as chief cxccutice of the
nation. AS the guest of the Lotus Club
the President responded to the toast
THE President" in speech which
1aany of hfs hearers considered the
most remarkable he has ever made. He
shifted from grave to gay and from
the philosophy which. he said. -four
years in tho White House had taught
him to a discussion of the problems
which face the nation. He laughed at
the outcome of the election, smiled
when he spoke of sCIne of the plans oi
the president-elect, Wilson. and
touched with gentle sarcasm William
Jennings Bryan.
His chief regret, the President said
was that he had been unable to influ
encc the United States Senate to rati'
fly the arbitration treaties with France
and Great Britain. In spite Of that fact
he asked his audience to believe that
he would leave office with the deepest
gratitude to the American people for
the honor they had given him and with
the belief that enough progress had
been accomplished in his administra.
tion to warrant his feeling that he had
done real good for his country.
President Taft said in part:
~ saw in tho name of your club the
possibility that you were organized to
furnish an opportunity for a swan song
to those about to disappear. con-
cluded that 1t was well to cast an an
chor to the windward and accept as
much real coincidence as could gath
er in such hospitable presence as
this, and therefore, my friends, ac-
cepted your invitation and am here.
You have given me the toast of The
President 49,
''In these days of progress, reform,
uplift and improvement man does
not show himself abreast of the age
unless he has some changes to sug-
gest. 1t is the recommended change
that marks his being up to date. 1t

change, but-it is responsive to pub
lie demand and therefore let's propose

ut is contrary ito my own love for
the dear old constitution to suggest
any alteration in its terms, lest 1t be
regarded as a reflection on, or a criti-
cism of that which has been put to the
sacred use for 1875 years of maintain
ing liberty regulated by law. and the
guarantees of the rights OF the minor
ity and the individual under the rule
of the majority. But yielding to the
modern habit, and Just to show that
am conservative and not reaction
