EARLY DAY WARNINGS
OBSOLETE, TAFT SAYS
Former President Says Wash.
ington and Jefferson Couldn't
See Present Day Problems

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE policy
of Washington and Jefferson with ref
erence to entangling alliances and the
theory that America "hSs been favored
by fortune with splendid isolation"
were declared to be utterly inapplica-
BILE to present conditions by former
President William H. Taft at a dinner
here last night. under the auspices OF
the League to Enforce Peace.
'In the light of the present crisis" he
said, prepare to disregard the warn
ings given by Washington and Jeffer-
son against entering an entangling al
lance. When this advice was given this
nation numbered but 100000 persons
and was four or five times farther re-
moved from Europe than now, in point
of time required for transportation.
Since then the United States has be-
come world power. Neither Wash
ington nor jefferson ever dreamed of
our Japanese questions, our Philappine
problem, or those raised by the Pana-
ma canal. At that time there was no
Monroe doctrine to preserve and de-
TEND"
The Marquis of Aberdeen, former
governor general of Canada, was also a
guest at the dinner.

Minneapolis Mayor Says
City Does Not Back Wilson
In Crisis But Wants Peace

Minneapolis. Mimi. Feb S-Declar-
Ing that the people of Minneapolis
want peace, that they are not talking Of
backing up the president, that news
papers are misrepresenting public SEN
timent, and that Wilson should know
the true feeling, Mayor Van Lear, So
ciafist, who took office first of the year,
has called mass meeting for Satur-
day night. He proposes to speak him
self and to. invite ether ta do SO. The
mayors move has not been slow to stir
up sentiment. Already G. A. r. mem
bers have rallied "in defense Of the
nations honor and the reputation of
their home city" There are indications,
too that many other organizations will
add their denunciations of the mayors
action.
Van Lear claims he represents the
people and that newspapers are mis-
representing them. He says he did not
have sufficient faith in Wilson'S war
policies to vote for him, and does not
'believe it right that the president
should possess power to plunge the
nation into war" He maintains social
lists are not only ones supporting his
views.

The report added that of the % ves-
sells tied up in the islands, all but six

found which could be put into condi-
tion without a large expenditure Of
tine and money.
See Order From Berlin.
So widespread and thorough has been
the concerted disabling of German
ships in American ports that some Of
ficials think it could be explained only
by a blanket order from Berlin. 1t is
suggested that such instructions might
have gone forward early in the war or
might even have been issued as
standing order before the war to cover
such eXigencies as now has arisen.
There has been no indication, however,
that the American government has au-
then;ic information on the subject.
Cecilie Badly Damaged.
Boston, Feb. 1.-THE refugee German
steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie built at
cost of S4,500,000, has been rendered
useless for months by the disabling of
her engines, it was discovered today by
Capt. John b. Coyle, an engineer of the
United states coast guard service. He
reported to Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew j. Peters that his eX-
animation indicated a deliberate at
tempt to cripple the liner.
The cylinders of the high pressure
engines, according to information, from
an authoritative source, were found to
have been destroyed. A piece of steel
about three feet long was cut out Of

was announced in a dispatch from him
to Ambassador Willard, in Madrid.

formation to the state department
From European sources outside of
Germany, the government has learned
that the German government actually

hostage until it read advices from
washington detailing the arrangement
made for the safe departure of Count
Bernstorff.
Willard Had Dispatch.
The state department had sent ia
Ambassador Willard a dispatch to be
forwarded to Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin which would be of value only in

man capital.

received dispatch from Mr. Gerard
at Berne and wished instructions as to
whether he should forward the depart
.ments dispatch to him there.
No Word from Gerard.

from Mr.. Gerard or from the American
minister at Berne, but word is ex-
lpected during the day which will clarity
the situation.

1t was disclosed today that on Mon.
day the state department sent Ions
dispatch, giving the plans worked ou
for the safe departure of the former
German ambassador and his suite ANY
plans German officials might have en-
tertained to restrain the departure o.

dropped.

believed to have been more in the ma
ture of a move to compel safe return
of Count Won Bernstorff through th'
allied blockade rather than any stel
against Mr.. Gerard or the Unitet
States.

The mayor also takes exception to
what he calls lack OF facts.
