TAFT SAYS A REPUBLIC
STRONGEST IN ALL WARS
No Form Of Government In the Worle
That Could Go Farther.

No Form OF Government In the word
That Could Go Farther.
Mr.. Taft was asked at Kansas City
last week If he believed democracy
could wage war as effectively as a
military empire, and his answer was
worthy of the exalted post of past
president of the greatest republic and
the most democratic nation in his
tory:
There Is no form of government
in the world" he replied, that can
60 farther In war than q republic. The
people will stand any degree of abso-
lutism so long as the absolutism is
their own"
This answers soundly a question
that has entered many minds since
German preparedness and military eff
ficiency have been thrown out in bold
relief by war Some who have not
reflected on the fact that German ef-
ficiency is the result Of military pol
icy rather than form Of government
have misinterpreted the lessons of the
conflict. France, liberal republic,
has the same military policy Of con-
scription as Germany, and man for
man the French army appears fully
equal to the German. Its field artil.
llery seems better than the German,
and it's soldiers fight with dash, cour-
age, intelligence and fixed resolution.
Proportionate to population the lit
tie republic of Switzerland probably
excels the Germans in numbers OF
trained reserves and preparedness fol-
quick defense.
