TAFT'S ESTIMATION OF
 ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.
Says League to Enforce Peace is More Likely to Be Right Because of Their Opposition.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 1S.-Former President William Howard Taft, speaking at a dinner of the League to Enforce Peace here tonight, replied to criticisms of the organization made by Theodore Roosevelt. He declared that wit hthe former president attacking it on sOne side and William Jennings Bryan on the other, the scheme is more likely to be right than if the league had the support of either.
 Theodore Roosevelt has attacked the league with both hands and both feet, said Mir. Taft. He has ap- preached the enemys Notifications with his usual strategy. But he would have been more useful in testing the proposals of the league if he had found out what it was first.''
 MT. Taft pointed out that Colonel Roosevelt assumed that the league proposed that the judgments and rec concentrations of compromise reached shall me enforced by the organization which the speaker declared was wrong Mir. Taft said that members of the league believe that it will make long step forward if it succeeds in reaching world agreement by which hearings of the irritating issues may be had and a decision rendered before war is allowed to begin. It is conf dent that in most cases a war thus de- loved for a full decision of the issues and a fair decision will never come"

The advance O. the Teutonic allies in Runania apparently has been brought to a standstin for the time being at least, by the reinforced Rus sians and Rusnanians- In the latest Berlin official communication the only successes reported for the invaders were gained through a surprise at tack between the Suchitza and Putna valleys where the army of Archduke Joseph captured an officer, 230 men and one machine gun from a hostile position, and south of the Oituz road, where a strong Russian attack was repulsed with artillery and machine gun fire.
 On the other hand the Rumanians put down a German attack south of Honestar -Kachinul, on the Kasino river, and southwest of Pralea sur rounded a German position and cap tured a large number of men and four machine guns. The Russians are she'll ing the towns of Tultcha and Isak- cha, across the Danube in Dobrudja, while the Bulgarian guns are active against hostile shipping and military positions near Galatz and Isaoha.
 On the Russian front and in Gahcia there has been violent artilleryn ac- tivity and minor fights between raid ing parties at isolated points. Near Smorgen the Russians have carried put successful raids and sapping op- erattons, according to Petrograd. In the region Of Krashin, a Russian force

 General O'Ryan thought the unIver- sal service plan should provide an optional training of one year with ths regular army and five years in tho regular service, or six years in the national guard three on active service and three in reserve, or six years in some industrial pursuit.
 Sentiment for Universal Service.
 Captain Burns said the sentiment among officers and men of the ua- tional guard on the border was for universal service. He thought that feeling had come to them with wider knowledge. due to their service. adding that the guard heretofore had alwaya been a barrier to the enactment oE rational military legislation"
 The officers were not agreed as to the effect of the mobilization on na tional guard enlistments General O'Ryan said 1t differed in different Io calities in his state.

 Who Wooed Her.

New York, Jan. 1.-Two sisters of Rae Tanzer-Dora and Rose-testify- ing today at the trial for perjury of Franklin D. Stafford, declared that district attorney, and not Charles H. Wax, was the Oliver Osborne who wooed Rae Tanzer. They asserted that the lawyer dined at their home in 1914, that they each had seen him a number of times and they were sure he was the man.
 Stafford is being tried a second time on a charge of having testified before United States commissioner that James w. Osborne had accomp- anied Rae Tanzer on a visit to hotel in Plainield, N. J., in which Stafford including Rae and Dora Tanzer, also are under indictments.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Blame for de- lay In mobilizing the national guard Tor border service was placed squarely on the war department today by Major General John F. O'Ryan, commanding the New York division of the state forces, in testifying before the senate SUD p-committee on universal service AdJutant General Louis w. Stotesbury Of New York and Captain James T. Burns of the Third Illinois infantry joined in defending the guard.
 Three Officers Agreed.
 All three officers agreed in favoring universal service legislation, although they had differing ideas of how it should be applied. General O'Ryan outlined plan under which boys wodld be required in their 18th year to elect the course of service they pre- ferred, whether in the regular army the national guard or some civil ca paclty: In common with the other two officers, he declared that complete federalization of the state troops must be effected to insure efficient service and believed this could be accomplish ed by simple amendment of the na- tional defense act.
 Report on National Guard Unfair.
 Generals O'Ryan and Stotesbury de- clared the report on the national guard mobilization prepared by the militia bureau was unfair to the state service. They disclaimed any thought that army officials had issued it for the purpose of discrediting and breaking down the guard, General O'Ryan say ing the action was due to fconserva- tive prejudice and ignorance of real conditions."
 The national guard was treated by the war department as a volunteer force, not under the scheme contem- plated in the national defense act" said General Stotesbury.
 Both generals said the greatest diff hculty was the fact that under de- partmental regulations the equipment to be provided by the government was not on hand in the mastering places
 Congress Was to Blame.
 'Whtie war department regulations may have been to blame to some ex- tent Senator Chamberlain interject- ed, congress was also to blame, for recommendations of the department for this equipment had been repeated ly rejected"
 That is true" said General Stotes- bury, and I'll go farther than that. The people were to blame They did not approve proper preparation"
 N. Y. N. G. MobiIized in 20 Hours.

NO REPLY TO RRITAIN'S
 SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE
Officials of Administration Were Grat-
 flied With Its Tone.

Washington, Jan. 18.-There proba- ply will be no separate reply to Great Britain's supplemental note to Presi- lent Wilson regarding peace, deliver cred to the state department yester- day. Officials of the administration frankly are gratifed over the tone of the communication and conStrue it as an endorsement of the presidents sug- gestion of a world league for peace, but no formal statement on the sub feet is considered necessary at this time and it has not been decided what shall be the next move on the part of She United States.
 The reference in the British note to the necessity for some form of inter national sanction behind treaty agree ments and international law drew from German sources here today an au- thoritative statement that Germany under no consideration would enter a league to preserve peace if she should emerge from the war much more greatly damaged than her enemies.

Believe German
 Raider is MoeWe
WHEN LAST SEEN SHE WAS
 PAINTED BLACK
FLEW THE DANISH FLAG
Is Equipped With Auxiliary Plates to Change the Appearance of Her bIe FunneIs-Armament Includes Four Torpedo Tubes.

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Jan. 1S.-It is considered almost certain here that the German raider which has been creating havoc among entente shipping in the South Atlantic is the Mocwe, the German armed raider which cap tured the Appam and sank numerous entente ships in Atlantic waters a year ago.
 The American consul at Pernambu- co has cabled the embassy here con- firming the landing of several Amer jeans from vessels which fell victim to the raider. He added that no American ships had been sunk by the German craft, and that all the Ameri can sailors landed were men from the crews of foreign vessels.
 Sailed Under Danish Flag.
 According to reports from an author itative source, the Moewe Is understood to have sailed from Kiel under the Danish flag, carrying a cargo of hay on the bridge ill order to conceal her armament. When last seen the Moewe was painted black, with white mark ings. Her armament included four torpedo tubes in service and several have carried mine-1aying apparatus.
 Had CoIIapsibIe Tunnels.
 The raider also carried a large num- Der of auxiliary plates which would permit her commander to change the appearance of the bridge at will. In addition she had collapSible tunnels.
 The vessel, now believed to be the Moewe, was repainted several times and under the last coat of paint were observes traces of the Danish flag which had been painted on the hull.
 Hudson Maru a War Prize.
 As yet there is no news of the British steamer Yarrowdale, which, under command of German officers, was re- ported yesterday to be proceeding for port with number of the shipWreck- ed crews aboard. The steamer Hudson Maru, which arrived at Pernambuco with survivors aboard, will remain there as war prize under the juris- diction of the German minister. The Brazilian naval authorities consider the Hudson Maru a naval vessel.
 Fantastic Reports Circulated.
 It is expected the steamers Drina and Samara, which were reported to have fallen victims to the German raider, will reach port at the end of the week, coming from the north The Germans are circulating fantastic re- ports, to which the steamship com panies and maritime authorities give no credit.
