TAFT OPPOSES MAKING
PEACE AT THIS TIME

ward to a League of the World to En-
force Peace in the future can have no
patience with compromise that leaves
TIE promoting cause of the present
awful war unaffected and unmoved.
This war is nov being fought by the
allies as League to Enforce Peace.
Unless they compel it by victory, they
90 not enforce it.
when the war is won,' said Mr.
Taft in conclusion, "the United States
will wish to be heard and will have a
right to be heard as to the terms of
peace, The United States will insist on
Ia just peace, not one of material con-
quest. 1t is a moral victory the world
should win. l think / do not mistake
the current of public sentiment
throughout our entire country. in say
ing that our people will favor an in
ternational agreement by which the
peace brought about through such
blood and suffering and destruction
and enormous sacrifice shall be pre-
served by the joint power Of the world.
1 Whether the terms of the League to
Enforce Peace as they are will be
taken as a basis for agreement, or a
modified form, something of the kind
must be attempted.
Meantime, let us hope and pray that
all the allies will reject all proposals
for settlement and compromise and
adhere rigidy and religiousy to the
principle that, until a victorious re-
suit gives security that the world
shall not be again drenched in blood
/ through the insanely selfish policy of
a military power, there will be no
peace"
This was Mr.. Taft's first public ut
terance since a sudden illness last
month forced him to abandon a speak
ing tour in the central western states
/ The speech was the first Of a series
Mr. Taft will make during the fall
ard winter in support of the admins
tration's war policy, and in explanation
of the attitude of his organization re-
| garding the war.

Marching song of the Rockies, by
William Herschell, in Collier's.)
He was just log, lean conuntry gink,
From away out West where the hop
toads wink;
He was six feet two, lin his stockin'
feet,
But he KEEP gettin' thinner the more
he'd eat,
But he was as brave as he was thin;
When the war broke out he got
right in,
Unhitched his plow, put the mule away,
An then the old folks heard him say:
Goodbye, ma! Goodbye, pa!
Goodbye, mule, with yer old he-haw.
], may not know what the wars about,
But you bet, by gosh, I'll soon find out!
An, o my sweetheart, don't you fear,
I'll bring you king fer souvenir!
TIL git you a Turk an kaiser, too,
An that's about ali one fcl'er could do.
One pair Of socks was his only load
When he struck fer town by the old
dirt road
He went right down to the public
square
An fell in line with the soldiers there.
The sergeant put him in a uniform,
His gal knit mitts fer to keep him
warm;
They drilled him late, they drilled him
long;
Then he marched away to his farewell
song:
Goodbye, ma! Goodbye, pa!
tGood-bye, mule, with yer old he-haw
may not know what the wars about,
But you bet, by gosh, I'll soon find out.
An, o my sweetheart, don't you fear,
I'll bring you king fer a souvenir!
I'll bring you Turk an a kaiser too,
An that's about all one Teller could do.
