Taft Holds Peace
Talk Is TraitOrous

Indiana, Pa, Oct. 5-"He who pro-
poses peace now either does not see
the stake for which the allies are
fghting or wishes the German mill
tary autocracy still to control the des-
tries of all of us as to peace or war"
declared ex-President Taft, speaking
at the opening of the annual Y. M. c..
A. lecture course here last night
The former President spoke before
sembled in Indiana and fiayed paci-
fists throughout his address. His ad-
dress dealt with Germany's years of
preparation for the present war for
the purpose of Germanizing the world
and showed the fallacy of peace at
this time, warning the innocent
against being impressed by pro-Ger-
man propaganda.
That the United States will have a
big say in the peace negotiations was
statement of Mr. Taft, who said this
country will insist on a just peace.
not one of material conquest. He said
he hoped the allies will reject all pro-
posals for settlement or compromise.
He said in part:
when the war is won the United
States will be heard as to the terms
of peace and will insist upon q just
peace, not one OF material conquest
Meantime let us hope and pray that
the allies will reject all proposals for
n settlement or compromise and ad-
here rigidly to the principle that unit
ed a victorious result gives security
that the world shall not be again
sanely selfish policy of a military
caste of a nation ruling a deluded
people and intoxicated with success
ard power.

and his assistants have been rented
for another month, but it is not con-
sidered likely that the recruiting
men for the Signal Reserve Corps
will remain here longer than Octo-
Der Is, at the latest.
The personnel of the Signal Corps
Battalion recruited in this city is of
a high grade. This branch of the
service is a technical unit, and de-
mands men with technical training.
The best in the country is consid-
cred none too good for the Signal
Reserve. The battalion recruited
here is a field battalion, consisting
of three companies, telegraph, radio
and outpost. When in action, every
possible means is employed to get
messages through and keep the lines
of communication open between the
quarters. This. service has all of
without the monotony of long pc
riods of waiting. 1t is the nerve
center of the army.
Opportunities for a display of per-
sonal bravery are many, and friends
of the young men recruited in this
place will not be surprised to see
their names plentifuly scattered
through the news items from the
other side, when the boys are finally
assigned to service somewhere in
France"
Fascinating Work
The fascination of telegraph, ra-
dio and outpost work, and perhaps
the dangers involved, appeal with
particular force to college men, high
school alumni and undergraduates.

AIR REPRISALS
OF FRANCE NOW
WORRY GERMANS
''Barbarity" Is Cry Raised
When Own Medicine
Is Served

Amsterdam, Oct. 5.-A dispatch
from Berlin received describes aerial
raids on German towns Tuesday
night. The dispatch shows that one
airinan penetrated as far as Dort-
mund and dropped six bombs, dam
aging the tracks between the Dort-
stefel and South Dortmund stations.
One person was killed.
Another airman dropped six
bombs near Feurbach, near Stutt-
gart. Small damage was done and
there were no casualties.
Ten airmen coming from south
ern and western directions attacked
Frankfort-on-M Main. Most of the
bombs fell harmlessly outside the
town, but others fell at thirteen
places within the city boundary. The
damage was small Five persons
were injured. None was killed.
In Lorraine says the dispatch, the
industrial region was subjected TO
numerous attacks, but owing to tho
effective measures of defense only
slight success was attained.
A German official telegram says
that one entente allied airman re-
turning from Main
was forced to descend by Ger
man antiaircraft gunfire. Other at
tacks the same night were direct
ed against Rastaph and Baden
Baden, causing material damage.
The telegram then proceeded:
For what purpose the French
make these attacks on open German
towns is not clear. In Rastaph there
are no military detectives and the
attacks on Tueringen and Baden
Baden can only be considered the
outcome of blind desire for de-
struction. The sanatoria at Baden
Baden and the hospitals at Tueringen
contain numerous severely wound
ed men who are there seeking re-
covery.
Even the French will not dare to
assert that attacks on hospitals far
behind the front are for military
necessity. BY such barbarity the
will to persevere can only be
strengthened among the German
people"

Poultry floeks Smaller.

Reports recently gathered concern
Ing 5,298 fiocks Of poultry on farms
and in small towns In all parts Of the
country show that the average number
Of hens per flock this year is LOT, as
compared with 148 in 1914. This in
formation, which was obtained by an
incubator manufacturer in the middle
West, indicates that shortage Of sup
ply had been an important factor in
producing present high prices for poul-
try and eggs. 1t appears that a very
considerable number Of poultry raisers
have sacrificed many Of their hens for
the sake Of immediate profits-a policy
the effects of which are now being felt
by the entire country.-Popular Me-
