Taft Says Lusitania
Was Cause for War
Likens Sinking Of Vessel to the
Landing Here of a Hun
Regiment

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.--Former
President Taft, speaking here to-day
at a mass meeting in the interest OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
S35. 900 900 War Fund, reviewed the
causes Of Americas entry into the
war, called upon all Republicans to
stand behind President Wilson and
took issue with Senator La Toilette on
the sinking of the Lustania.
1.-THE Lusitania case" said Mr.. tart
cannot be distinguished from the land
ing of Hun regiment on these shores
and the shooting into American homes
and the killing of American citizens,
but Senator La Toilette said that the
right to be on those decks under those
conditions was a mere technical right
Now, what Senator in the Congress
of the United States can speak or the
right of those poor victims OF foreign
aggression, foreign cruelty, to have
their lives preserved as a technical
right?
"Suppose this had been Venezuela
that had sunk one. OF our American ves-
sells and sent fifty Of our American
citizens to the bottom. 1t wouldn't
have been long before the President
and the Secretary of the Navy formu-
lated a demand, peremptory in charac-
ter and possibly accompanied by bat,
tleship, and every man, woman and
child in the country, pacifists and Sena-
tor La Toilette, would have approved
that action demanding reparation and
security against further murder Of
American citizens.
"Now, what is the difference? There
isn't any except one, and that is that
Germany is the greatest military ma
ton in the world and Venezuela isn't"

ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Koritza,
Albania, Oct. 30.-General Sales head
quarters are located here, ct the FUR
thest point west of the left wing OF
the Army of the Orient. 1t is where
the long front across Macedonia
tapers off and joins the Italian army
running across Albania to the Adri-
attic. This Italian occupation of A.
bania is a separate operation, with
separate army.
The junction of these two armies
the Army Of the Orient across Mace
donia, and the Italian army across
Albania-is twenty-five miles west of
here, where the last French and the
first Italian camps are side by side, the
French called Kinami-Selnica, and the
Italian, Ersek. As Koritza is well
within Albania, this gives the French
allies about fifty miles of Albanian
front and the Italians the rest. abou.
200 miles, to Santa QuarantO and Va
Iona on the Adriatic.

General Sales headquarters are in
the former residence Of the archim ede,

general directs the fighting operations

home Of Themistocle, chief Of that
band of Albanian guerillas which
rules southern Albania with an iron
hand. This power can be of great al
vantage to the Allies, and General Sale
uses it in dealing with the restless
native populations.
Koritza is distinctly Albanian, with
its streets filed with Albanians in
their picturesque costumes, full Of
color. 1t is the home also cf mary
Albanians who have been in the United
States and who have introduced a
new and progressive spirit because of
this sojourn in America.
Long Lain Dormant
For centuries this region has lain
dormant. But suddenly it has taken
on life. and a great military highway
stretches across the country to the
Adriatic. This stretch from Florina to
koritza winds over mountains 5000
feet high, running .long the edge of
cliffs where there is sheer drop of a
thousand feet.
The whole native Albanian popura-
ton has been utilized for this road
making. For miles the Albanian
women and children were strung along
the sides of the roads. breaking stone
and gathering it in heaps for the road
makers. The women were smiling.
with their faces uncovered. so different
from the witch-like Turkish women of
Macedonia, who keep their faces yelled

Woman Who Saved
British Papers Named

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The name of the
American woman, who, as related in a
military court proceeding here last
Friday, saved some important British
dispatches from capture by the Aus
TRANS when an Austrian submarine
held up the steamship on which Cap
tain Stanley Wilson was taking them
to Malta, by hiding them while men
from the submarine searched the YES
eel, was revealed to-day. She is Mrs.
h. Herbin, a widow, of New York City.
The name of Mrs Herbin was men
toned in connection with the above
story in the summer Of 1916, when she
arrived here from Liverpool Mrs. Her
bin said that when the Austrian sub
marine overhauled a Greek steamship
on which Captain Wilson was passen-
ger. the captain threw package of
papers overheard, but confded TO her
the most important dispatches and
papers. Being an American she was
not searched, and later she presented
the papers TO Lord Kitchener in per
son. For her services she was pre-
sented to King George and Queen Mary.

enceau, the breaker of governments,
has lust constructed one which is radl-
cal, but not socialistic. 9,
His independence and individual
bravery are shown in the personnel OF
his ministry, but if the Socialists re-
vive the old bloc of the Left, as they
threaten, Clemenceau will need all ms
brilliant, tfgerlike qualities to hold ms
Cabinet together.
Slight Improvement in Italy
Politically. the situation has i'm
proved slightly in Italy, but here near.
" everything depends on the power Of
the Italian and Anglo-French armies
TO hold,
If Venice falls the political conse-
duences will be infinitely greater than
any purely military value it may have
for the enemy.
Second to saving it from the enemy's
clutches. il is highly essential to post
pone it's capture until there is an I'M
provement in the morale of the people
and until they have an opportunity to
readiust themselves to the changes OF
the last month.
Nothing solidifes a nation like vic
tory or defeat, but there is point be-
yond which it is dangerous to go. The
test will come when the Central Powers
present their peace terms, which they
are certain to do as soon as the mill
tary advance halts. The bigger the
military push the bigger the peace
push.
Here is where the wisdom of Presi-
dent Wilson's policy is so strikingly
apparent. Americas war aims have
been clearly defined and they remain
unchanged, as they are based on prin-
ciples and not on territorial questions.
Good Fighting Platform
Principle is good fighting plat
form, however changeable the military
situation may be, whereas territorial
questions are always open 20 COM
promise, adjustment and concession.
America has no European alliances,
whatever be her European responsible
ties. She is giving freely of money,
food and supplies, she is sending her
fighters. but none of these are sent to
Armegeddon for political purposes.
Italy may ultimately reconsider and
redeclare her war aims. That won't
affect America. France may do the
same, also England, but Americas war
policy will be unaltered.
However, no change can be made in
France without modifying British
policy. America remains free to con-
tinue fighting so long as she is able
and considers it necessary.
America is in highly valuable posi-
ton. Without allying herself with any
of the belligerents, without accepting
any embarrassing engagements, with
out forming any entanglements except
those based on questions of justice and
right, America can assist all in fighting
the same enemy.
Her power and her resources give her
a dominating position, which she need
not emphasize to make her friends ap-
preciate. All the Allied armies are now
leaning on her, all are turning to her
for help and advice. This is the mo-
ment when she can steady all her
comrades in arms.

German Intrigue in
Ireland Denounced
United Irish League Calls the
Promises Of Teutons
Hypocritical

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 1S.-German
intrigue in Ireland was denounced in
a manifesto adopted here tonight by
the Lowell branch Of the United Irish
League, and mailed to party leaders in
ireland.
"As loyal American citizens, we are
most deeply interested in the cause
for which the United States has en-
tered the war, and we are utterly and
irrevocably opposed to any policy that
might injure the United States or her
allies by giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, and thereby prolonging the
war;, says the manifesto.
After declaring the party's support
Of the constitutional movement the
manifesto continues:
GAS for any promises of independence
for Ireland coming from Germany, with
ell our souls we denounce them as hypo-
critical and insincere, but equally to be
spurned if they were sincere. Never IN
her history has Ireland been arrayed
against human freedom, and she would
be unworthy of freedom If she lined
up with the modern Attila. Germany
is trying TO make q catspaw Of Ire
land, and unfortunately some Irishmen
are helping her horde OF paid agents in
that direction.
"The wrongs which England inflicted
Upon Ireland in past ages, and even
the recent betrayal of Ireland and her
leaders by Premier Asquith, followed
by the brutal execution Of the Sim
Fein leaders. can never be excused or
forgotten. Yet we would a thousand
times rather have Ireland remain under
England than TO pass under the sway
of Germany to suffer later such bar
barous infamies rs were practised upon
Poland and BelRium"
