Taft Says Russia Jumped Out OF the
Frying Pan Into the Fire-Allies,
Should Clean Up Russia.

Detroit-Safety of the world de-

formed with an international court to-
hear all justiciable disputes and an
adequate military force to keep the
peace we have fought to obtain, Will
liam Howard Taft, former president.

the world keep the treaty to be made
at Versailles from becoming merely
another scrap of paper howelse can
we clinch the purposes of the war;"
he asked.
AS examples of the imperative need
for the league, Mr. Taft declared:
"Germany's colonies must not go back.
to her. We are all agreed to that. She
was a cruel mistress and it would be.
a sorry end of the war were she per-
mitted to guide their destinies again.
But somebody must be responsible for
them. Who shall it be? England,
France, the United States? MOI It..
must be an international agency that.
run them, for il any one power took
would be sure to follow, sooner or
later
Then there is Russia, out of the
frying pan into the fire. The Roman
offs rule was bad, but the present.
situation is awful. The bolshevists,.
not majority of the people, but just
a few doctrines and the lowest OF the.
proletariat, with all the guns and am
munition in the country, are in con-
troll What could be worse? There
is no remedy for this state of affairs
but guns and bullets. An army of the
Allies must go into Russia and stamp
out this poisonous serpent, an enemy
by one nation. 1t will have to be
done by league of nations.
Then there is the Ukraine, Poland.
Finland, the several proposed Czecho.
and Jugo Slavic states, Palestine.
Armenia, that are to be set up as
independent nations. None of these
peoples are experienced in popular
self-government. There must be an
international body to befriend these.
young republics, protect them and help.
them. Constantinople and the little,
of Thrace, all that is left of Turkey
in Europe, also must be considered.
Who is to control this vital territory
that commands the Dardanelles? No
one power could be selected for this
task that would be satisfactory to all
1t must be done by league OF ma
tions.

ALLIES WAR BILL

II the Whole Wealth of Germany Was
Taken There Would Not Be
Enough to Pay the Account.

Bristol-The war bill of the Allies
against Germany is $115, 1920, 100000,
according to the British prime minis
ter, David Lloyd George, who pres
ented this and other interesting facts
before a large gathering here. The
cost of the war to Great Britain was
$38, SAC, 100000.
Before the war the estimated
wealth of Germany, said the premier
was between $72,450,000,00 and $685.
coo, 100000. So IL the whole wealth Of
Germany were taken there would not
be enough to pay the account. There
fore he had used the words:
Germany should pay to the utmost
limit of her capacity"
When the prime minister was adj
dressing an overflow meeting he said
Great Britain would be guilty of a
great folly il she gave up her navy.
A voice interrupted: "Then watch
wilson,"
The premier replied: well, hope
to meet him shortly, will tell him
what you say"
Wherever the request comes from,
we are not going to give up the pro-
lection of the navy, so far as Great
Britain is concerned"

OCCUPY RHINE LAND TILL
WAR DAMAGES ARE PAID
France Asks AIsace and Lorraine
With Frontiers AS In 1914.

Paris-France intends to demand
at the peace conference the perma-
nent incorporation, without plebis-
cite, of Alsace and Lorraine, with
frontiers as they existed in 1914, be-
fore the Vienna congress trimmed
down the French borders after Ma
poleon's fall.
Next, France proposes to demand
military occupation of the left bank
of the Rhine until Germany has paid
the war damages, which is expected
to take her a considerable period Of
time.
Third, France will ask permanent
military guarantees against Germany
using the left bank of the Rhine for
concentration of troops against
France.
These three points, say diplomatic
observers here have virtually been
agreed on as Frances demands.
Creation of a neutral buffer" state
has been discussed but it is under
stood this plan has been practically
abandoned since Belgium desires IN
corporation of the Walloon districts,
and possibly Luxembourg, with the
view to forming a continuous barrier
against Germany.

HUNS CONSERVING MEN.
Save Man Power at Expense OF Posi-
tons and Ordnance.

Correspondence Associated Press.l
With the American Armies in France,
Sept 16.-Conservation is the word one
hears coming over the German lines
now Always economical the Germans
are saving now more than ever before
in rnan-power. Since the day the Ger
mans started backward from the Marine
they have been conserving their num-
hers as never before and they have
done it in most admirable manner.
But it has been at the expense Of posi-
lions.
phe German losses in men have not
been so great IS might have been ex-
pecsed. In the fighting north of Sthe
Marine the retreat was skillfully
planned and carried out in manner
that excited admiration Machine guns
were substituted for men at almost
every point and the way in which the
German army is built around that par
ticular bit of ordnance has been very
thoroughly demonstrated.
Every backward step of the enemy
was guarded by the automatic guns.
Get back the artillery and the bulk of
the infantry was the order repeated IN
the German army as the French and
Americans prodded them. In almost
every instance the rear guard action
meant the resistance of little machine
gun units and because of the clever
manner in which the nests" were
placed they were able to hold their own
long enough to enable the main armies
behind them to fall back.
| They were not always placed in lines
| but left here and there just over the
| brow Of hill or in the deep woods,
on the ground and in the trees ano
almost always skillfuily .camoufaged.
But always their disposition was CO.
! ordinate. In the end it was up to every
machine gun crew to fight its own way
out or to resist T. the last. until. swept
away by the allies artillery or over by
| their tanks or infantry, but they were
so placed that until that time came
| their fire was so directed that it swept
| very effectuaIly the advancing lines
| The Germans have lost thousands OF
their machine guns by such tactics but
they have saved proporionately In men
1t is this evident intention to save
man power so different from their at
titude earlier in the war, that has gone
far towards convincing many that theil
big military machine is cracking and
that they will not be able to withstand
a winter campaign.

Hot Meal and
Bath First Needs
of Fighting Man

TCorraspondence Associated Press.l
With the American Army in France.
Sept. 1s.-When a soldier comes out Of
battle the things he longs for are IA
piping hot meal, a shave. path,
change of clothing and a real bed.
During the July and August offensive
when the Germans were driven across
the Marine to the Vesle and with the
Americans on the move northward day
and night 1t was no easy matter to pro-
vide the soldiers with these essentials
but day after day the task was accom-
plished and in many instances the
water for bathing purposes was hot.
Further improvement Of the system
Of providing baths for the men on the
very edge Of the battlefelds is con-
templated. American officers say that
the day Is not Tar away when the rolling
shower bath apparatus win be as COM
mon a sight along the roads back OF
tin: lines as are the rolling Kitchens
today.
One Of the divisions engaged in the
recent fighting used forty-eight sho W
ers heads and also a disinfection in
which battle soiled clothing was ster-
lized. 81.
Even with this meager equipment
we have been able to keep the, fighting
men in good condition." an officer re-
ported. "At the bathing center We can
battle 1900 to 800 men each day. Dur
ing the offensive we averaged 1!02T men
per day. AS they were relieved from
lthe line they were either marched to
battle or transported in camions and
every man was given a good hot bath
and change OF clothing. In four days
5,s42 men and 1877 officers passed thru
| the baths.
| THE effect Of the baths on the men
was wonderful. They came from the
front lines worn ont dirty, clothing
torn. and left the baths eplendffiy
