unless Congress acts.

FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
JUSTIFIES PRESENT WAR
Addresses Student Officers in Camp
at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ex-
planning Attitude Of o. S.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, August A.
Former President William H. Taft was
a guest at Fort Benjamin Harrison to-
men are completing the Oflcers' Re-
serve Corps training course. In speak
ing to the men Mr.. Taft said that his
extensive travels about the country had
shown that many people have not a
clear idea of why this country is in the
war. He reviewed briefly the acts lead
ing up to the declaration of war and
then said:
Suppose that Venezuela had. by some
use of the submarine, torpedoed one of
our commercial vessels and sent q num-
Der of our citizens to death on the high
seas. Would 1t have been twenty-four
hours before the President and the Secre-
tary OF the Navy. would have ordered q
battleship to Venezuela to thunder at her
ports. demand restitution. threaten war
and call for securities for her future
good conduct? In doing so the Presi-
dent and Secretary would have at their
backs the whole nation and even paci-
fists. What Is the difference between
the case Of Venezuela and that of Ger
many? Nothing except that Germany
Is the greatest military power in the
world and Venezuela is not.
Tn indicating the rights of our
citizens against Germany's defiant bru-
tality 1t may cost us millions of lives
and there are those who would en-
phasize the discrepancy between the
loss of 200 American lives by Ger
many's act and the sacrifice Of a million
in resenting 1t. This is to ignore prin-
defending its rights and unfolding its
honor and protecting its citizens de-
pendent upon the question OF how much
does 1t cost"
