CONDITION IS LIKE INVASION
TAFT Makes Address and Denounces
Ruthless Program Of German
Authorities.

New York, N. Y.-Former Presi-
dent Taft in an address to the Corset
Manufacturers Association Of the
United States at the Biltmore, said:
Both England and Germany have
4ransgressed our rights. England has
affected only our property rights.
Germany has sunk ships and has
caused to be drowned fellow-citizens
who have found it convenient to be
on the high seas on pressing bust
ness.
IF these conditions are to be con-
finued under a declaration of ruth
less program, it is our duty to resist
the invasion because it is the same
as if they had attacked our land"
