New York. April 2.-The South and
Southwest are ready for war with Ger
many former President william H. Taft
today declared on returning from a tour
in nine States in the interest of the
League to Enforce Peace.
The people OF the South and South
west feel that war is inevitable" said
Mr.. Taft. "and they are willing to go
into 1t to defend our rights. In fact
they do not want to stay out any longer
and feel that their battles are being
fought by somebody else. They are will
ing to pay in men. money. and munitions.
They feel as I do, that Germany has
forced the war upon u.
We must enter the war whole-heart-
edly. We must not play 1t as you would
a game in a bowling alley, where on a
tally sheet We would set down the num-
Der of submarines sunk by American
ships and our vessels sunk by the Ger
mans and which had the spare for
the week or month. We should consult
the entente as to how we can help them.
Unless the war continues a year we
cannot have an army for the trenches.
but We can aid the allies with food. sup
plies. and money credit. and the navy in
the suppression Of submarines. We
should use our regular army and Ma
tional Guard for Mexico and home de-
fense and institute without delay a COM
pulsory universal training system, so
that II the war does last more than
year we can help in the trenches"

that General Soukhomlinof was or
