Following Only Course Of Honor
In Participation In European
War.


Chicago, Oct. 15-William H. TAFT,
president of the League to Enforce
Peace, in a speech here under the aus
pieces Of the Liberty Loan committee,
attacked forces in and out OF Con-
gress that are working for premature
peace.
\ His address was the first OF sew
eral he will deliver in various cities.
Work to Hinder War.
"While we may sympathize with tho
sorrowful feelings of our loyal fellow
citizens of German antecedents," Mr..
Taft said, chow detestable is the at
titude of those with no such tradition
al and family ties who, because OF
supposed pro-German sympathies OF
their constituencies, conduct them
selves in Congress and in newspaper
columns so as to obstruct asOfar as
possible our governments conduct OF
the war against Germany.
Scorns La Toilette.
Senator La Toilette" Mr.. Taft con-
tinued, "says that while our citizens
had the right to 60 or commercial
vessels carrying supplies to the Al
lies, it was only technical right, and
one that we might we'll waive rather
than 60 to war.
"Was the right of those innocent
ia American men, women and chill
dren, sent to their death without warn
ing on the Lusitania, to life and safety
only technical right?
1T shocks ones deepest feelings to
think that a senator in the Congress
Of the United States could use words
of such an import.
Only Course Of Honor.
"Those citizens had right to be
where they were and right to life
and safety. Senator La Toilette IT,
lores the humiliation, the dishonor,
and the lasting injury to our nation
al influence of yielding the rights Of
our citizens, or of withholding pro-
lection from them in the pursuit Of
their lawful trades on the high sea
at the dictation of military power
like Germany, because of fear Of
that power.
: Fighting for Freedom.
sOur country is fighting for our life
as an independent nation and for the
independence of other nations. It
Is struggling for the peace of the

Stockholm, Oct. I'm. j. Widen,
president of the second chamber and

Darcy's Attempt to Ele-

Well Received
Ry W. o. McGEEHA\

Charlie Weinert. the pride Of Newark,
n J.. and Budapest, Hungary, faces
either elimination or considerable pu-
gilistic prominence when he meets Billy
Miske. the industrious ST. Paul boxer,
at the Harlem Sporting Club tonight.
About n year ago Weinert seemed to
be about the most promising OF the
lighter heavyweights. He had clever
ness that suggested James j. Corbett
at his best and he had considerable
stamina. Despite the fact that he was
knocked out early in his career by Jack
Dillon. he might have come along 20
the front if he had taken pugilism seri-
ously. But he took things easily, and
has not been in real fight for many
months.
Niske in a brief space of time de-
feated Dillon, Mocha, Levinsky, and, IN
fact. nearly all of the light heavy
weights worth considering. Industry
Is his middle name. A ten-round bout
10 him is part Of the weekly programme.
lie prefers two bouts a week when ne
can get them. The most recent feat OF
Miske was 10 all but hatten Knockout
Brown. who came unscathed through
forty rounds of battling with Les OAR
cy in Australia.
Weinert. who is twenty pounds heav--
Ter than Miske, has been considered
for some time by the Willard-Jones-
Curley syndicate as the Logical con.
tender" for the heavyweight title. II
ne should be beaten by Miske he will
hardly be logical much longer Bat
Ting Levinsky was almost a logical
contender" until he ran into Miske.
The curtain raiser will be a ten
round bout between Marty Cross. Of
the Fighting Cross family, and Jimmie
o'Hagan, the Albany middleweight.
Chevalier Daniel McKetrick, who
manages Alfred Badoud, the famous
