Ex-President Taft holds ma
ton should rejoice over
diplomatic victory.

San Francisco. Cal, Sept. 3.-The
acouiscence Of Germany in this
country's contention for the rights
Of uoncombatant citizens on CONNER
cial liners OF belligerents should be
the cause of profound rejoicing by
every patriotic American and the oc-

dent" said William Howard Taft, for
mer president Of the United States. IN
an address delivered yesterday at the
Taft day celebration at the Panama
Pacific exposition.
THE recent news from Washing

shows that the firm attitude Of Pres
ident Wilson in maintaining the rights
of our nOncombatant citizens on com
mercial lines of belligerents TO be
safe from drowning without warning
and an opportunity for rescue has
been acquiesced in by Germany.
This must and should be the cause
Of profound rejoicing by every pat
riotic American and the occasion fof
congratulatiou to the president. 1t
should not, however, lead our people
away from their duty of reasonable
preparation.
In summing up what he regarded as
necessary preparations Mr.. Taft said
First. an increase of our navy ton
mage as rapidly as possible by 30 per
cent and an immediate increase Of the
personnel of the navy by nearly 10000
sailors and 900 officers.
Second, an increase in ammunition
for our great coast defense guns, the
making of a few 16-inch guns, and the
completion Of the defense Of Chesa-
peake bay at Cape Henry. In addi-
ton, an increase Of 10000 trained
coast artillerymen and 500 officers to
man the ocast defenses properly.
Third, an increase in our regular
mobile army of $4,000 troops, and a
quadrupllng of the supply OF educat-
ed military officers. We should also
adopt a reduced term Of enlistment
with inducement to the formation Of
reserve of trained men"
