 Taft Endorses Report.
 As MT. Taft had to leave the city carly. he called Professor John Bas- sett Moore, Columbia University, to the chair and, before leaving. gave hearty endorsement to the report.
 We are in favor of doing some- thing as we'll as thinking something" said MT. Taft. T believe in praying for peace and I also believe in doing something to support that prayer
 If the report of the committee measures the high water mark of it's hopes for the future, then I accept it; but question whether it ex- presses the wisdom of experienced statesmen said Congressman David J. Lewis of Maryland, who followed MT. Taft. His principal objection to the report was that 1t did not pre- scribe rule of conduct for nations. He thought the principles of the con- stitution of the United States should be embodied in the proposed plan of the League of Nations
 Report "Too Militarfstic."
 MT. Berger, who with MT. Kirch- wey, voted against the adoption of the report, characterized the report as too militaristic." You are us- ing too much force,'' he said.
 There were a half dozen brief speeches in favor of the report. John. Wanamaker did not think the report went far enough. He had hoped the conference would send out a message to the warning nations that would make them pause and think.
 It is expected that the executive committee will meet soon to adopt plans to carry out, the objects of the league. Members of the executive committee said that propaganda prob- ably would be started with view to having the United States senate

port of the committee on resolutions, which embodied the objects of the league, the ex-president of the United States expressed the hope that out of this historic building may come a measure necessary to promote the ob- jccts of the league.
 The conference was not an assem- blaze of what one participant termed "pure peace men, but a gathering of those who for the most part be- lieved in trying to bring about peace even though they had to use force to do it. There was an animated dis &cussion over the adoption of the name, and the only divisions that oc- cured on the several questions that came before the convention were on the changing of the title of the or eanization and on the elimination from the report of the resolutions committee that paragraph which bound members of the league of nations to use both their economic and military forces against any one Of their number that before the ques- tions at issue are submitted to the tribunals provided for by the league. \ Lowell Makes Vigorous Speech.
 George w. Kirchwey, professor of law. Columbia University, suggested that the name be changed to League to Establish and Maintain Peace" The proposed elimination of the word force found supporters, but it was defeated after vigorous speech hy A. Lawrence Lowell. president of Harvard University, and chairman of the resolutions committee.
 We are here to enforce peace, otherwise we have no business here at all,'' he exclaimed with spirit. When you fight forest fire, you fight it with back fire. We have here 6 means to discourage, and that means Is the thtreat to use force.
