TAFT SLOGAN: WIN WAR
FOR PERMANENT PEACE.
Calls Convention to Sustain Deter

MilitariSm Is Beaten.
SAYS WE MUST ACHIEVE AIMS
Russia's Experience Shows Futility
OF Attempting to Attain Objects
by Negotiations With Germany.
Enemy Chanccllors Hypocritcs.
LBy Associated prcus.1

NEW YORK, March 3-"win the
war for permanent peace" is the title
for a national convention called to-day
by former President Taft and a com
mittce Of prominent men and women
to meet In Philadelphia from March 16
to is. The name. according to Mr..
Taft, was chosen because it offers q;
"rallyinS cry in the present war
crisis"
The convention will be held under
the auspices of the League to Enforce
Peaoe. and Mr. Taft. as head of the
organization. will preside. Other mem
bers OF the committee include Cardinal
Gibbons. Samuel Gompers, a. Law
renee Lowell. president of Harvard
University; Or. Anna Howard Shaw.
United States Senator John Sharp Will
liams, of Mississippi: Governor Capper,
Of Kansas. and Cyrus II. X. Curtis.
Philadelphia publisher.
The call for the convention states
the object as follows:
ITO sustain the determination of
our people to fight until Prussian mill
tarism has been defeated: confirm OPP
position to premature peace and scri
Gus attention upon the only advantage
the American people are hoping to gain
from the war--a permanent peace guar
antecd by Il league of nations
The platform of the League to En-
force Peace will be considered with
view to dcvisins more definite plans
for the formation and maintenance Of
such league OF nations after the war.
Mr.. Taft, in statement to-day. said
the convention would seek to show
the diametrical difference between the
selfish aims OF Germany and our own
constructive program" as we'll as to
emphasize the necessity OF prosecuting
the war until American aims were
achieved.
Asserting Russia's experiences had
been a lesson to persons who believed
the objects for which America en-
tered the var could be attained by
negC tiations. Mr. Tai; said:
1T Is clear to every thinking
PARROT that the speeches of the Ger
nG,n and Austrian Chanccllors were
made, not in good faith with any hon
est intention Of reaching a fair ground
for settlement, but for the purpose of
encouraging pacifist sentiments among
their enemies and weakening the spirit
of the United States and of our allies
The German Chancellor hypocritically
accepts certain of the principles laid
down by President Wilson at the very
time when Germany has repudiated the
whole basis Of our peace program
and dehcd our demand for the evacua-
ton OF Russian territory and such "A
settlement as will leave the Russian
people free 10 work out their own
future"

PARIS. March 3.--Municipal authori-
tics have finally had TO abandon th.ir
scheme of cleaning UP Paris through
the employment OF kabylcs. natives
from French colonies in Central
Africa. Several hundreds of the mar
tives have been working" in the cap-
tai for more than a year and have only
succeeded in encitins countless coiti-
plants from the public.
kabylcs. unlike the ordinary happy
negroes, are the gloomicst and most
pessinistic race in the world. and all
they have done. when sent out with
brooms and brushes to sweep the
streets, has been TO stand mournfully
on corners. and gaze ruefully
world that they did not understand.
The authorities also experienced great
difficulties in inducing them to wear
shoes. many Of the natives taking off
their boots and throwing them away as
soon as they escaped for a moment
from the watchful eye of the sergeant
who accompanied them. .
Complaints were made to the civic
auth orities urging that the Kabyles be
barred from the subways and the
street cars, as it was charged that
they disseminated ncas and vermin on
neiGhborinG passengers. During an
agitation on this subject the slogan
was raised:
The kabyles may clean Paris. bur
who will clean the Kabylcs?"
Recently the natives here have been
manning the tanks" as the huge gar
bagc and ashes collecting underslunE
automobile trucks that gather up this
refuse OF tho capital are called. When
they were first assigned as crews TO
the tanks the Kabyles were proud of
their Jobs. but after a few months OF
the work they have grown dissatisfied
and lazy again.
Soldiers will hereafter be used for
cleaning up Paris. and the Kubyles
will be sent to the south OF France in a
warmer climate to work on military
roads.
