TAFT HITS PEACE
Any-Price Variety Attacked
by Former President.
(By the International New. Service

.
Baltimore, Md. Feb. 22.-"No right
thinking man goes to war for the love Of
war; neither does he believe in peace at
any price; but in war for a righteous
cause"
Thus William H. Taft, former President
OF the United States. told today how he
regards the various types OF pacifsts.
Mr.. Taft was in Baltimore to speak at
the Johns-Hoplins University exercises
First of ALL" said Mr. Taft, speaking
OF the peace advocates, Il am net going
to be pinned down to an exact definition
OF the word pacifist, for there are too
many of him. he falls into, too many
classifications. Further, I am not going
to dinerentiate between the pacihst and
the worker for peace as such.
Let us take the extreme case, the
man who believes in peace at any
price. He holds that no matter what
Is done to him, no matter what he
suffers at anothers hands he should
submit. Then. when the other man
has killed him. the extreme pacirlst
believes that his death will serve as
moral and that by dying lie has
gained his end. He not only doesn't
believe in preparedness. but advocates
complete submission. The best exam
Piles are the old Quakers."

Clerks Must Take Smoot Clause
or Nothing, Say Senators.

Eight of the most prominent Senators
in Congress yesterday complicated the
movement to grant the Federal en-
ployes increased wages by the delivery
Of what was practically an ultimatum TO
the labor group OF the House OF Rep
resentatives.
EITHER the House will accept the Smoot
amendment on the salary increases or
we will force an extra session." was the
substance of their demand.
The House has twice refused to accept
the Smoot amendment which provides
for no employees above the 1000 grade
and there is no indication that it will
recede from its belief that and 10 per
cent graded increases should be granted.
The outlook last night was gloomy for
the Federal employees and there is pros
tween the two bodies a number of the
supply bills will not be passed and re-
solutions continuing the existing appro-
priations will he passed.
Since the President is against holding
an extra session of Congress represent
atives of the employees were hopeful last
night that he would use his influence for
a compromise schedule.
AS the situation stands the agricultural
bill, Indian ILL. legislation bill and Dis
trict bill are held up with the salaries

to adopt dilatory tactics and filbuster

TO QUIT PARADE
Mrs. J. H. Boggs and Chair
man Harper Have Big Row
Over Arrangements.

Mrs. James II. Boggs, of the Inaugural
Committee, angrily stamped her foot
yesterday.
No women will take part in the lnau-
gural parade" she declared, and her
eyes flashed.
Thus cropped out one Of the biggest
rows in the history of inaugural planning
Mrs. Boggs, who has offices at the OK
ford Hotel, claims she is in charge OF
the women's division of the parade. She
declares she has entire and final au-
thority to say what will and will not
happen on March $50 far as members of
her sex are concerned.
Her leadership IS disputed by other
members of the committee. A fine young
squabble Is the result.
If Mrs. Boggs is correct, 1t means that
the Women's Wilson Union, which fought
SO hard for the President, may be ex-
cluded from the parade, and that there
won't be single woman or a single float
in the whole procession.
"Too Late" Says Harper.

Committee and the Women's Inaugural

women's committee. has been planning
extravagant displays-of women marching
a-foot, of women on horseback, OF women
in cars, and on state floats and displays
But there isn't much money in . the
treasury!
Col. r. n. Harper. of the Inaugural
Committee, has been insisting for several
weeks on a detailed description Of just
what Mrs. Boggs was planning-what
bodies of women. what floats, what order
OF march and such things-but Mrs. Boggs
was not ready to tell him.
Col. Harper insisted that the inaugura,
committee needed this information a.
once. and several days ago wrote to
Mrs. Boggs that there had been so much
delay that his committee had decided
that there would not be time now to
prepare the floats, and that she could
drop all plans for them.
Mrs. Boggs talked over the matter yes

Schurman Urges Preparedness to Back
Acts of Nation.

New York, Feb. 22.-Jacob Gould Schur-
man. president of Cornell University and
former United States Minister to Greece,
speaking at the university day exercises
OF the University of Pennsylvania in the
Academy Of Music today, advised against
a league to enforce peace and urged pa
troll OF the seas by navies Of world pow
ers as aNneans Of preventing war.
DR.. Schurman pointed to the present
course OF Germany in emphasizing the
fact that civilization has not yet reached
the point where right is greater than
might. He earnestly warned against
craven yielding to Germany and appealed
not only for support for President Will
son but for an adequate preparation to
back stern action.
As he was touching upon Germany's
present course in regard to U-boat war
fare, a woman IN the audience arose and
cried out, What about England's ac-
tions-are they not the same?' She was
requested by attendants to leave the place
and did so in the company OF another
woman. The heckler refused to give her
name, but stated that in her opinion
England had committed just as grave
wrongs on the high seas as had Germany.
A little applause greeted the woman's in
terruption of President Schurman's
speech

STIR PATRIOTISM
Speakers, in Honoring Wash
ington, Urge Preparedness.

Facing a new crisis in its destiny,
America paused yesterday in the hour of
its trial to honor the memory of Wash
ington, the patriot-the man who led an
infant nation through the dark days of
the Revolution to day of liberty and
greatness.
Valley Forge was repeated yesterday
on a far-fiung scale from sea to sea, but
1t needed the memory of the Father of
His Country TO show America the
parallel.
With the hand of the invader almost
at their throats, Washington led his un-
prepared, starving band of patriots to
a bleak and cheerless refuge in the dales
Of Valley Forge. That was in 1777.
Today, with an army unprepared and a
people rioting for food, the United States
again faces an invaders might. 1t was
a notable Washington's Birthday cele-
bration yesterday.
This city. so gloriously named, turned
from its everyday affairs in reverence.
In the Senate, as is the custom, the fare
well address of President Washington
was read with particular stress laid by
Senator Works on that portion advising
America to avoid entangling foreign al
liances. In the House his farewell ad-
dress was read by Representative Neely,
of West Virginia. In scores Of assem-
blages through the city tributes were paid
to his devotion to his country. At Wash
ington's tomb, at Mount Vernon, services
were held by the Masonic order, of which
he was a member.

''DRY-CITY" RULE
COMES UP TODAY
House Committee Will Decide
Whether to Push Bill to
Immediate Vote.

Washington moved a step nearer the
legislation which will make It a prohibit
ton city after November j, when the
Rules Committee of the House late yes
terday afternoon voted Z to TO have a
brief hearing today on the question of
reporting a special rule bringing the
Sheppard-Barkley bill up for immediate
consideration and vote in the House.
When the hearing opens at 10 o'clock
this morning, wet" and dry forces
will be given 45 minutes each to ex-
pound their arguments for and against
the rule, which, If reported and accepted
by the House, will sidetrack other legis-
lation until vote is taken on the saloon
less city bill.
The dry" advocates were jubilant last
night over the result of the action of
the Rules Committee. and predicted that
within week the signature of President
Wilson will be fixed to the bill legislating
the Capital into the dry column.
Representative Pat Harrison. OF the
Rules Committee, brought the matter to
, an issue Unexpectedly at the meeting of
the Rules Committee when he sought to
have the Barkley resolution requesting a
rule considered by the committee.
Spirited Debate Follows.
Spirited debate followed, and the vets
on the committee urged that it was un-
fair to the District committee to take
away the Sheppard bill from this 1urIs-
diction while 1t was being considered.
When the vote came on holding a hear
ing today, Representatives Garrett, Fos-
ter Harrison, Campbell, Lenroot Ben
nett, and Chiperfield voted for the hear
ing. and Representatives Henry (chair-
mani. Pou, Cantrill, and Patten voted
against any hearing.
This lineup OF seven to four is e1-
pected to prevail at the conclusion of
the hearing when the vote comes on re-
porting the rule TO the House.
Democratic leaders declared that the
blll would probably be up in the House
for direct vote on Tuesday.
The "wets" maintain that the bill will
not be passed unless it contains a refer
endum clause and they will center their
strong fight to have this clause added.

tial move TO bring this TO an issue when
