 Sympathizes With Germany
 In regard to the war situation. Gem eral scully expressed himself as con fident that the Germans would be ex- ceedingly difficult to conquer even con- sldering the fact that half the world is arrsyed against them. Since the Japan government has seen proper to become elnbroiled. the sympathy of the general it is believed, Is with the Ger mans. At any rate. he expressed an opinion to the effect that the Japs have engaged in the trouble for political reasons, having behind them the desire of the orientals to acquire German ter ritory in the far east. ae

 Germany has proceeded slowly into France Tor the reason that 1t has fortified against a probable retreat as it ad- vanced. WheE the big battle is fought between the Germans on the one side and the French and English on the other, the Germans will be in better position to lose than the allies. This is because of the fact that they have fortified behind them.

TAFT EATS APPLE PIE
Guest of Aunt Della" Torrey
On Her 89th Birthday
SAYS U. S. WON'T GET into WAR
Former President Tells of Seeing TIE
Troops Leave Canada For Europe,
But at Was Not Pleasant Sight''-
Asserts Great Care Should Be Ex-
ercised in Making Mediation Offers.

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 3.-In eel
ebration of the S9th birthday of Miss
Della Torrey, aunt of ex-Presideht
Taft, the members of the Taft family
gathered at the old Torrey home in
Millbury yesterday and enjoyed one
of Aunt Della's" apple pies, for which
she became famous when Mr.. Taft oc-
cupied the white house.
Included in the family reunion be-
sides Mr.. Taft and his family were Mr.,
and Mrs. Charles Taft and their daugh-
ter, Louise, of Cincinnati; Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry W. Taft, of New York, and Hor-
ace B. Taft, of New Haven.
In speaking of the European war,
the former president said Il am ek-
tremely grateful we are not in it, and
to my mind we will not get into it.
The president has offered mediation II
, the warning nations, and they have ii
under consideration. The plan is to
offer at the right time and yet not too
often, so that we will not lose our in
fiuence in helping to settle it.
"It is a useless war, and l think ', G
certainly should all be grateful that
we are living in peaceful land. Last
week l was in Quebec, with Mrs. Taft,
and we saw the Canadian troops en-
barking for the seat of war. They
were fine looking lot of boys, but i;
was not pleasant sight.
War is a terrible thing, and while
this country is fortunate enough to be
out of it, we will have to bear our
share Of the burden just the same. We
are so closely allied with European ma
tions in our trade that we cannot es.
cape having to shoulder some of the
| financial burdens. To my mind, We
should do this willingly, however, III
view Of the fact that the very flower
of our nation is not being sacrificed
on the battlefelds, as is the case with
European nations.
"The war, of course, is the one in
1 teresting topic just now. The man
who knows most about our position
knows that it requires careful action
and his attitude may have a great
bearing in bringing the strife to all
erd. 1t would be useless for me to
discuss the situation because there is
nothing / could say that has not al
ready been said. l am just a plain
professor now, and I am out of poll
Tics entirely"
