Taft Calls On
Nation to Buy
Liberty Bonds

CHICAGO, Oct. 10. Forces, both in
and out Of Congress, working for a
premature peace were attacked by
william II. Taft, president Of the
League to Enforce Peace, in a speech
delivered here tonight under the
auspices Of the Liberty Loan Commit
tee.
while we may sympathize with the
sorroWful feelings of our loyal fellow
citizens OF German antecedents," said
Mr.. Taft, "how detestable is the atti-
tude Of those with no such traditional
and family ties. who, because Of the
supposed pro-German sympathies Of
their constituencies, conduct themselves
in both houses Of Congress and in
newspaper columns so as to delay and
obstruct as far as possible our govern
ment in its conduct Of the war against
Germany.
Senator La Toilette" said Mr.. Taft,
speaking of Germany's unrestricted
Submarine warfare, says that while
our I4ti"eith ia" .HS 4'o"N :" Z" W."
commercial vessels carrying supplies
to the Allies, it was only a technical
right. and one that we might well waive
rather than 20 TO war.
Those citizens had a right to be
where they were and a right to life and
safety. Senator La Toilette ignores
the humiliation, the dishonor and the
lasting injury to our national influence
Of Welding the rights of our citizens,
or OF Withholding protection from them
In the pursuit of their lawful trades
on the high sea at the dictation Of a
military power like Germany, because
OF fear Of that power"
Mr.. Tafts address tonight was the
first Of several he will deliver IN diff
ferent parts of the country on behalf
Of the second Liberty Loan.
