Says America, as In Last
Catastrophe, Must In

Atlanta. Feb. 2S-Former President
Taft. before the Southern Congress
of the League of Nations here today.
warned that another war is inevitable
unless the nations of the world en-
gage in a common covenant to main
tain peace.
I'VE shall go through the same sad
course of events which the history
of this war records" said Taft m
which we shall attempt to be a neu-
trail and then be inevitably drawn
in. The next war will be as much
more horrible in it's destructiveness
as this one was more horrible than
any preceding war.
People VIII Forget Horrors.
1T is a mistake to suppose the de-
structive character of one war will
prevent another. The resiliency of
peoples and their foTgetfulness of
horrors are instructive in human ma
ture. In the next general war the
United States will nor escape with
such moderate losses as in this war
Fathers and mothers and wives
should bear in mind the agonIes OF
spirit. the suffering and sacrifices
which another war will entail upon
them and the flower of their youth
Only a reasonable burden and the
taking of reasonable precautions by
now entering into this covenant and
this league of nations will save the
world and US from the utterly un-
compensated trials and sacrifices and
agonies OF war"
lot
Taft's speech was followed by an
address by Charles r. Brown. dean
of Yale University, in which he de-
clared that, while physical victory
has been won. the more importa mt
victory of the spirit remains to be
achieved.

rector of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, spoke on American
Interest and a League of Nations" q"
DR.. George Grafton Wilson, profes-
sOr of internationa law at Harvard

At tonight's session, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw. president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association,
addressed the congress on "Ameri-
can Ideals and a League of Nations"
and DR.. A. Lawrence Lowell. presi-
dent of Harvard University, also
spoke.
VIII Speak With Wilson.
Immediately upon his arrival here
today. Taft announced that he had
,accepted the invitation to speak on
the same platform with, President
Wilson on the subject of the league
of nations at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York. next Tuesday
night.
In an interview he characterized
the league of nations as "the great
est international movement since
the United States became the United
States"
He said that he believed it was up
to the United States to forego it's
policy of splendid i.olation' and
become a member of the family of
nations"

BOMBING PLANES, AND BERLIN.

Certain facts concerning the Nickers-
Vimy plane that made the first one-hop
crossing Of the Atlantic are worthy OF at
tention in Berlin.
It is a bombing plane, built, or begun,
to carry destruction. It's useful load" OF
explosives, for instance--is 2,308 pounds.
It's actual proved radius of action IS four
times the distance from Nancy to Berlin
and it landed in Ireland with one-thlrd OF
it's gasoline left. Captain Alcock IS the he
ro Of perhaps the longest bombing flight
Of the war, with record Of great havoc
wrought in Adrianope.
This formidable engine of war is not
the only one of its type-and there are
other types. Cur army and navy have
them. Hawher had an outfit capable Of

have sought to hoodWink the German peo-
