PAYS RESPECT TO
TEDDY AND BRYAN
Ex-President Taft Not Sorry That They
Oppose League to Enforce
Peace

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. IS -
Former President William Howard Taft
and former-Gov. David l. Walsh spoke be-
fore an enthusiastic audience of 5000 per
sons IN the Auditorium last night as cham
plons OF the League to Enforce Peace,
Prot TAFT, who IS president of the league
was never III more jolly mood and his
chuckle was the deepest when he referred
10 the fact that his old friend TEDDY. >
had loosed his warwhoop against the or
ganization.
Prof. Taft said that Col. Roosevelt
either had never read the constitution OF
the league or had a wholly false miscon.
ceptlon Of what the organization is He
stated that the distinguished citizen OF
Oyster bay had gone on to great length in
specializing how the league of nations
was to enforce the compromise suggested
by its commissions of arbitration when
no such thing was contemplated
In view of this, he said the obligations
Of the Colonel might be passed over with
out further comment. However, the PRO
fessor did deign to suggest that it. Of
course, might be of advantage when Won
wanted TO attack a movement and to know
what its purpose was because YOU could
make il what you wanted it to be and soal
it good and hard
Prof. Taft also referred to William !
Bryan's opposition because force was t.
be applied at all. He said he did no,
think 1t helped any to abuse the pacifists
and call them mollycoddles and coward.
because he did not believe anybody cot
very far toward convincing another il he
started with the major compromise that
his subject was a fool
! However, Prof Taft submitted to hi,
audience that it was pretty good indica
ton, with Roosevelt attacking the leagu,
/ on one side and Bryan on the other tina,
the organization was IN the middle Of til.
road and not far from right
| Having finished formally with Mr.
| Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan, Prof. Taft gen
tly rubbed it into the former without men
tioning names, by saying that he did no
wish 10 he understood as Directing /,
Teddy's remarks. He said the league vel
coined suggestions of all kinds and woul,
give serious consideration to any idea
/ that were worthy of serious thought
The professors secretary coniided tn
fact that while the professor was not say
ing anything about it on the public plat
form he really considered the attack o
Mr.. Roosevelt about the best thing tina
could have happened to the league. Ii
other words, he considered It one of tho,.
knocks that Is the best kind OF boost.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES WILL
SOON Be A LUXURY

The appetizing and delicious winter
breakfast dish Of buckwheat cakes and
sausage will be classed among the
luxurles this winter. and those with
epicurean tastes will have to pay more
for 1t than ever before.
Though the buckwheat crop was a
large one this year. little Of It has as
yet reached the market A year ago
buckwheat was quoted at from $50 to
SIT0 the hundred pounds; II now sefiS
at e the hundred pounds Pork sausages
fresh is worth 2s cents a pound today !;
a year ago II sold for twenty cents a
pound. Maple syrup. without which
cakes lose their charm, Is
now selling at g gallon. and has gone
up 20 cents in the last year.
Sugar from which the maple syrup
substitute can be made. has also scared
and is very scarce, as is also the nice
yellow butter in which the buckwheat
cakes in the good old days used to swim.
All OF which goes to show why this de-
lectable American breakfast dish Is 60
Ing to be a luxury this winter.
