BRYAN CRITTCISES

Nebraskan Attacks Taft and 7. R.
as Leading Sponsors of 0rganiEa-
tions Inimical to Peace.
SEES COLONEL MOST DANGEROUS

NEW YORK, June william
Jennings Bryan, addressing a labor
peace meeting at Carnegie hall here
last night, attacked former Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft as leading spon.
sors of organizations which stood
for the use OF force in international
affairs and which the former secre-
tary of state declared were inimical
to the true interests OF this country
and to the cause of international
peace.
Mr.. Bryan began his address by de-
olarinB that no could find no more IA
vorable auspices than those Of tonight
for beginning the work which he felt It
his duty to perform-aiding 'in the
crystalizing of the sentiment in favor Of
peace In support OF the president in his
efforts to reach an amicable settlement
OF all differences that may. during the
war. arise between this country and
belligerent powers"
The "LaBor Element
He alluded TO the labor element as
IAN honorable apellation" and declared
that no advocate Of peace could have a
deeper interest in it's preservation than
the laboring man. who. without any pc
cuniary interest in war. recognized that
II was hurtful to him as bringing about
enforced idleness. increasing taxes and
in calling upon him probably among the
first to take up arms. and leaving the
aftermath Of war to be borne in great
measure by him or his family.
Therefore. Mr. Bryan argued, Il was
natural that a peace movement should
begin with the laboring man and that
organized labor. because of It's readily
operative machinery, should take the
lead In such a movement. Mr.. Bryan
continued:
Those who work In the cause OF
peace will find It necessary TO combat
the forces OF militarism as we'll as 10 do

ciples upon which the hope OF permanent

Speaks ne soldier.
Sir John did not make a speech. but
spoke as soldier to soldier. hesitating for
words at times in his emotion. The men
were actually seeing their commander
in-chief, who in the complicated i'm
mensity of podern war is only name
to them.
While wellington personally encouraged
his soldiers in his battle a century ago,
which occupied hardly the front of
brigade In the present trenches, this was
the only way a modern commander could
make his men feel that he was a human
leader and not a machine. AS a cavalry
man he said:
II knew what you were capable of and
you have shown that you are equal to
any work required of a soldier. 1t re-
ouires more dogged tenacity, more cour-
age, TO stand for many days in the
trenches than TO make one brave charge.
Against that dastardly attack at Ypres
with q weapon against all usages, when
the cloud of gas rolled over your trenches,
gasping, blinded and in darkness you
stood your ground with q determination
which prevented any disaster"
