TAFT ADVISES
 PEOPLE BE CALM
Wilson and Allow the Adminis- tration a Free Hand.

PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Ex- President w. H. Taft, in speech here last night, called upon the peo- pie of the United States to remain calm and to aid the president and the administration in it's efforts to rilot the Ship of State through the troubled waters of the present war.
 Stick to President Wilson" was the keynote of his address. and he urged all thinking people to remem- Der that President Wilson would do all in his power to uphold the honor of the United States, while, at the same time he would only resort to war when every other means at his command had been exhausted.
 The papers of this city claim edi- torially that President Taft's address was a masterly oration, tempered with goon sense and showing keen desire to uphold the administration and the government and prevent an unnecessarily war.

 WILSON POLICY
ScornfuIIy Derides Wilson's Statement That U. s. Should Be Too
 Proud To Fight.

SYRACUSE, IN. Y., May 12.-Ex- President Theodore Roosevelt scorn- fully derides the Wilson foreign pol icy of peace and states that the statement made by President Wilson that the United States should be too proud to wage g war is nonsense. Roosevelt cites the predicament of China as a condition that follows a love of peace and lack of pre- paredness to meet foreign aggression.
 Roosevelt insists that unless the United States calls a halt to German aggression and the failure of the kali ser's military and naval officers to respect American rights that the az gression will continue indefinitely and that other nations, believing we are afraid of war, will follow the ex- ample of the German nation.

TEDDY ID ROAST
 THE GERMANS
Has Written a Firey Article Demand. ing Action By Wilson Against
 the Kaiser

NEW YORK, May 12.-The Jun , issue of the Metropolitan will con- tain a long article by exPresiden. Roosevelt demanding immediate ac' tion against the Germans for sinking the Lusitania and other violations of American neutrality and treaty rights which he will claim indicates a de- sire to belittle the republic.
 The article has been widely adver- tised and the people are awaiting with interest it's appearance. Many friends of the administration " de- nounce Roosevelt for failing at this time to put his shoulder to the wheel and help the president to avoid for eign complications, instead of which he is trying to force the administra- ton to declare war without first pre- senting the demands of the American republic to the German government.
 It is feared that Roosevelt will so inflame popular opinion as to bring about war, which the administra- tion is striving, by every honorable means at it's command, to avert.
 Roosevelt will urge as the first act of the administration the stopping of all commerce with Germany directly or through neutral ports. Also the aiding of the Allies by advancing large sums of money and munitions so that the war may be brought to a speedy conclusion.
