Taft in Kansas City Urges Actual Par
ticipation in War.

Kansas City, Mo, March 30 Actual
participation with the entente allies
in fighting Germany was advocated
here today by William Howard Taft
former president, in addressing the
Chamber OF Commerce at IT'S noon
luncheon. Mr.. Taft declared he be-
lieyes it to be the duty OF this country
to place its navy it's fighting men, its
money and its credit at the service Of
the nations at war with Germany.
IF we are going into war, we ought
to fight" he said.
Under his oath, the president is
bound to use the navy and army to
protect American citizens upon the
high seas.
Germany has announced she will
continue lawless homicide Are we
going to permit that? ! know we are
not. Every American citizen has the
right of protection from foreign inva-
sion both at home and abroad We
are on the side of the law"

The speaker then entered into the
discussion Of the League to Enforce

anty. he admitted, to the idea OF uni
versal training.
Naturally. objections have been met
with in forming the league, said Mr..
Taft. One is on the ground of consti-
tutionality in that il would take away
the power of congress to declare war.
This is a misapprehension, the speaker
said The nation would still reserve
its treaty making power and retain a
certain amount of its army for police
purposes.
The objection had also been made
that the league would be breaking
down of traditions Washington's ad
vice to keep clear Of foreign entangle
ments is cited by this class Of oppos
ers. This objection fails to take into
account the fact that we have much
