TAFT SAYS PREPARE

Former President Would Av0itt
War With Honor and With

LECTURES TO NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
Says England's Course in This Con-
fict Is Reason Why a Republic
Should Have Adequate Defense.

Avoid war just as long as it can be
avoided with honor and without ma
tional sacrifice. but prepare to enforce
that peace through military strength,
because a free press and unrestricted
public opinion are not the quickest
agencies through which to overcome
the power of an assailant.
This is the advice of former President
Taft to the people of the United States,
given in his address last evening be-
fore the National Geographic Society,
at the New Masonic Temple.
Mr.. Taft was warmly received, and

lessons from present-day events that

are being melted in the crucible of

ceived theories. This process. he de-

Reason for Preparedness.

Mir. Taft declared that England
course in this war has confirmed the
view that if war is to be d normal con-
dition of national and international
life the inherent disadvantage of popu-
lar government in the outset Of the
war is not only reason why re-
public should avoid war when it can
do so with honor and without national
sa crifice, but it is also a reason why 1t
should. in times of peace, make every
reasonable preparation for national
defense consistent with individual lib
erty and control of the people
In spite of the weakness of democ-
racy, Mr.. Taft held that ii is not true
that popular government units peo-
pie for war, saps their unself1sh pa
triotism, or dulls their willingness to
make the sacrifice. pointing to the his
tory of the armies of France, raised in
the wars of the French revolution. and
of the civil war to refute such a no.
ton.
Continuing further, the former Presi-
dent declared that the American
colonies were lost to England mainly
through the blindness of George III.
and against the judgment of the more
liberal statesmen of his reign. He does
not think that the grievances which
the colonists complained of were as
acute or as oppressive as has been
taught in school histories. However.
he stated that he regards the war OF
the American revolution worth to Eng
land all that it cost her through what
it taught her.

because he is in favor of peace.
Presidents Position Changed.

The question is now. as it has been
at. all. times. Will we stand for the
citizen soldiery of our Countrywide Ma
tional Guard? That is known and un-
derstood by everybody as proper
thing to do, and I believe thar the
President has changed his position: .
that he would not in the recent past
and Will not now further continue to
uphold the recommendations of the
then Secretary of War upon this prop
osft1on. Is the cause. apparently, of the
trouble. and so we have him changing
his position again. as he has changed

Urges Soldiers to Respect Law.

The attack on the Riverside Hotel
was made in the face of an appeal by
Gen. Cruikshank, commanding the
thirteenth military district, who yes
terday visited the barracks, where the
batta lions were paraded, and urged the
soldiers to respect the law and refrain
from rioting. Gen. Cruikshank yes
terday conducted a military inquiry
into the riot of the previous night.

Similar to Civil War Experience.

To-day Canada is passing through
her baptism of fire." he said. while
there are many differences in the his
tory of that country and that of the
United States. there are many resem-
blances. In our civil war our people
divided on an issue that developed the
moral strength of the two great con-
tending sections. Both showed them
selves willing to make the ultimate
sacrifice of their own lives and the
lives of those dear to them and Of all
material possessions. In that civil war
the people of the United States found
themselves and proved to the world
their moral fiber and their greatnes
as a people. Canada is now going
through a similar experience"
In conclusion Mr.. Taft said: THE ul-
innate fact that reflects the highest
credit upon the craftsmanship and fore
sight of England is that as she has
lightened the formal hold Of the moth
err country upon these New Englands,
and ended the real suhordination to
the mother country. they have
strengthened their spirit Of allegiance
to her. 1t is an eloquent tribute to tho
living force Of a bond between peoples
formed of common inheritance of
civil liberty and the principle of the
rule of the people strengthened by
just and generous dealing of the moth
er with the daughters The supreme
test has come in the present war. 1t
has shown that there is something be-
sides the prospect of material beneht
or of material burdens and sacrifice
which controls the action of peoples.
Well may England say. as these brave.
courageous legions from the transit
lantic and from the antipodes rally to
her support cast my bread upon the
waters, and after many days it has
returned unto me-"

War a Test of Character.

raging" said Mr.. Taft, "is test Of
the character of the people engaged in
it. and of the institutions. to the wis

out that in the Canadian constitution
the guarantees of civil liberty are not
left to the courts. but to the protec-

declared. gives an opportunity for
