MIR. TAFT FAvORS LEAGUE.

NEW YORK. December 7.-Ques-
tioning the wisdom of turning the
German colonies over to England and
France, William H. Taft, former Pres
ident, declared. in an address .before
the committee on information OF the
League to Enforce Peace here last
night. that the safest procedure would
be to have them governed by league
of nations.
Mr.. Taft declared the United States
already is a member of a league OF
nations, into which it was driven in
defense of the freedom of the seas.
He urged that the league should be
made permanent at the peace table
Mr.. Taft made it plain that the
League to Enforce Peace, of which he
is president. does not stand for the
"eXtreme" ideas of some of its sup
porters. 1t does not, he declared. favor
'internationalism." but he believes, on
the contrary, that love of the nation
in a world league should stand in the
same relation as love of family stands
in the making up of the nation.
Mr. Taft said he had been in favor
of President Wilson's going to Europe
because he believed the trip would
strengthen the Presidents view with
respect to the necessity of the league.

DIVERS RESCUE AZ
FROM SUBMARINE
Captain of British Craft in
Tragedy Awarded Cross
After Heroic Death.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 29.-An extraor-
binary story Of the salvage of
british submarine, which went down
lin Gaerloch lock near the Clyde has
now been published. The submarine
had seventy-three persons on board,
including naval contractors and men
from the yard, where she had been
built. The order was given to sub
merge and she had descended just be-
meath the surface when water began
to pour into her aft and she descended
stern down to depth of fifteen
| fathoms.
Amazed to Hear Tapping.
An inspection showed that the ven
tilating shaft had been left open and
thirty-one persons in the rear OF the
vessel were drowned Immediately.
The fore part was shut Off and the
forty-two persons there were saved.
How their rescue was accomplished
was sensational. A few hours had
passed before divers were sent down
on what they considered Iorlorn
hope, so far as bringing any one up
alive was concerned. Getting to the
bottom they discovered that the stern
of the vessel was embedded IN many
feet of mud. Knocking at the null
they were amazed to hear a respon-
sive tapping.

SAYS LEAGUE OF NATIONS
is A "VITAL NECESSITY"
Balfour Rates Prominence Given
Subject by Mr.. Wilson Valuable
Contribution to Civilization.

LONDON, December (by the As
ISOLATED Press).-Arthur. J. Balfour.
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
in outlining his views on the peace
conference today told the Associated
Press that he thought the meeting in
Paris this month would be merely in
] formal and preliminary to the con-
/ ference of the associated govern
ments at the first of the year. which
would formulate all the important
terms of peace agreements. This con-
| important and the longest of the Sc
! ries. When it was finished the en-
envy countries would be called in to
| ratify the conclusions reached.
! Mr. Balfour said the British govern
ment had not yet made any fixed ar
rangements for President Wilson to
/ visit England, as it would be prema-
| ture to do so until more was known
| regarding the Presidents own plans.
Great Britain would be guided solely
| by his wishes.
| The foreign secretary said he be-
| lieved the question: of a league of ma
| tions was the most important work
| imposed on the conference. 'The
prominence Mr.. Wilson has given the
subject is a valuable contribution to
civilization" he declared.
II think" continued Mr.. Balfour. "a
league of nations vital necessity If
this war is to produce all the good
we expect to come out of it. The
United States would have to bear a
large share in the work it involves.
1t should be something more than a
mere instrument to prevent war. The
world is more complicated than we
are inclined to think. It would be
folly to imagine it possible to con-
stitute world with states endowed
with equal powers and rights.
| But I wish to say .emphatically, in
my opinion to devise in concert work
able machinery for them is one of the
highest functions the conference can
deal with"
