J.
 Today" said MT. Taft, there are no democrats or republicans We are all only Americans. The president Was criticised for his patience and sioWness to make war, That is now past and we are AlncTlcanS-so We are in the war"
 "Who are VIC at war with? 2" he asked.
 ''Germany. Never mind Austria and Bulgaria and Turkey. They are only the pccwee nations the me toos,' Germany is the finest and most brutal example of military autocracy tho world has ever seen. The kaiser backed up by tradition, by the Pots- damaging, is q pure type of the mili- tary tyrant with a lust for world power.
 "On our side is democracy. Eng land, France, Ttaly--alI democratic governed countries, as democratic as we The kings of England and Italy have as little to do with determining the policies of their respective coun- trleS as, over here, have W. J. Bryan and the two living ex-presidents
 We do not wish to force >democ- racy down the throats of the German people. They can do as they please in their own country. but they must Sh1nny on their own side. We are going to end Germany's power of war domination iii the world.
 The war will be won by changing the heads and the minds of the Ger man people, The way to change the heads is by surgical operation known as hitting them over the head with a club
 When the scales fall from their eyes, they will look for scapegoat and they will find one in that Pots- dam gang.
 "I thank God that we are in the war now, and for our allies. I pray that they will hold out-as they will until we get there.
 There can be no basis for per- manent peace until we beat Germany first"
 Then holding out his hands to his audience, Mir. Taft concluded by say ing:

No Trade Depression In War.
{ Brooklyn Eagle )

England has been in war for aIm lost three years longer than we have, and she is so near the scene of the con t1ict that the Germans can throw, and do throw air bombs every now and then on her metropolis. Yet she has not found any trade depression in war conditions, and the American business man may well be treasured by the words of IT. Gordon Selfridge owner of one of the biggest London depart 1nent stores, as to what has happened;
 When the war broke out we in London thought that business, and specially the dry goods business, was going to suffer. But such was not the case. On the contrary, business nctU- ally improved, and today trade is bet ter in London than it was in 1914, when hostilities began. Prices are higher and profits are higher, and all this notwithstanding the fact that wages are higher. In my store, for example our people get wages now practically equal to those you pay over here l think that America will find the same thing is true. The only sort of business that will be hurt will be that which deals exclusively in lux uricS."

 The pay of an \Amcrican Second Lieutenant, disrega Hling all allow ances, is s100 a year greater than that of a Licutcnant-Colon in the British army, s73 moro than that of a full Colonel in the French army, s62 more than that of a German Jieutenant~C Colonel, $2G0 more than Colonel of Austrian troops, and only St00 less than that of a Major General of the Italian army, while to a full General of the Russian army the AmericaT's s1,70O would seem fortune, as the Muscovito of the high est rank sets only $1,212.
 The pay of an American Captain compares favorably with that of British Colonel, q French Brieadicr- General, a German Rriga dicr-Gen- eral, an Austrian rigadier- General. a Japanese Lieutcnant- General, and an Italian Lieutcnant-Gc
 
 jean army, drawing a minimum sal ary oi $6,0o0, receives nearly $40 more than a Marshal of France, $2,- 900 moro than full General and Field Marshal in the German army, s2, ,250 moro than a full General of Japan and nearly five times as much as Russian General or the highest rank. Italy's highest army officer at the beginning of this war was a Lieu tenant General whose annual com- pensation was s15O less than that of an American major.
 Since the outbreak of the war the French government has revised it's scale of pay for the army. The man in the first line trenches now receives franc day, SC a month; but he is not permitted to draw all of this amount He is paid partly in cash and for the balance receives certif- cate of deposit in reserve fund which is to be dsbursed at the end of the war. All those not in the ' first line trenches still receive their 2o centimes, five cents, day. It is thus seen that our boys in France have an Uncle at home who appre- ciatcs them in more ways than one
