Quietly Informs Friends That He Is
Not to Be Regarded or Publicly
Referred to in Political Speeches
AS a Candidate for Presidency.
Will Devote His Time, Without Stint, to Reorgan-
izaton and Welfare Of Republican Party.

Washington, Nov. 6.-President Taft
has quietly Informed friends that no
matter how active his participation is
in a reorga nization OF the Republican
party may be, he is not to be regard
ed as or publicly referred TO in po-
litical speeches by Republicans as a
possible candidate OF the party. in
1916.
The President has made it plain that
he does not wish to be considered in
any way as having an eye on the first
place on the Republican ticket, four
years from now. He intends to do all
in his power to help rejuvenate the
party and probably will make many
political speeches before March 4. and
after he re-enters private life. but
according to close friends he is in the
fight to continue the party and to
try to return 1t to power as a man
who has been its standard bearer for
four years and not as man seeking
denomination four years hence.
These facts have been developed

A new WAR.
Greater Than That Be-
tween Balkans and I urkey.
Austria and Russia Both Take
Steps Towards Mobilization.
Bristish Public ConseVative-.Arival
Of Austrian Consul Quiets Matters.

London, Nov. 26-The possibility and
| danger of a greater war than that be-
tween the Balkan states and Turkey
absorbs public interest far more than
the first bout of diplomacy between
the belligerants outside Constantine
pie.
The steps towards mobilization,
which Austria and Russia are taking,
although but preliminary precautions.
have made possible a vision of the
vast consequences which, so far as
Great Britain is concerned, are con-
sidered nothing less than appalling.
The British public apparently has
no desire to sacrifice lives and money,
paralyze commerce and risk the navy
over the question of the status of the
Balkan peninsula. Yet it is uneasy,
because ignorant of how far Great
Britains Diplomatic engagements with
France and Russia extend in the di
rection of an alliance and of how
much likelihood there is that the gov
eminent will be drawn into a conflict
in which one or both of its partners
in the entent may be engaged.
The Liberal press is unanimous in
urging Great Britain to preserve neu-
trality. The majority of the Conser-
natives demand the same policy. The
Times, declaring that none of the Eu-
ropean peoples want war, says;
yet. that is whittier the nations
are blindly drifting"
The Pail Mall Gazette almost alone
speaks in a war-lille voice. It declares
England ought to act firmly with
,I,r
to he swept aside. If the conference
desired by the British government is
refused we ought to face the alterna
tive and stand by our friends.
The mobilization of the Austrian
and Russian armies requires weeks
for what Germany and France can
accomplish in days In Russia's case
this is on account of the great dis
tances the troops must travel; in Aus
tria's because the units of the army
are on a peace footing, which is only
one-third of their war strength. There
fore. considerations of safety compel
them to begin when the signals are
remote.
England. France and Germany are
playing a peacemaking role Their
efforts are directed apparently towards
keeping the Powers together in a COM
pact to refrain from taking up piece
meal tae questions which the war
raises and defer their consideration UNI
til the general conference.
The withdrawal of the Austrian war
ship at Constantinople to join the fleet
is taken as an unfavorable sign and
the imminent Serviau occupation of
Durazzo, on the Adriatic sea, tends
further to bring Austria and Servia
toward the breaking point.
