So many eloqueat words and noble sentiments have fallen from the lips of William H. Taft former Pre- sident of the United States that respect and ad mraton for him grow apace
 For months the air has reverberated with expres sions of doubt and distrus of the natives and the conduct of other nations. The opponents of the league and especially the political enemies of Woodrow Will have harped necessarily upon the independability of those peoples with whom having to deal in the attempt to establish peace. Not only the in evitable dangers of a relationship delicate and so complex among such widely separated nations have been emphasized to exaggeraton, but improbable if impossible have been constantly trumped
 Into this atmosphere Of distrusts, like breeze from snow-capped mountain, have blown the words of the recent speech of Mr. Taft in Richmond:
 Here is a league from which we may resign by giving notice of two years. Ought we to enter into the theory that everybody entering it is pirate just waiting for opportunity to get with us :? If so, ought to join it at all but should keep guns shotted and have coasts to repel the invader.
 There have been reasons enough to fill with dis the purposes of many nations in this and make regard their leaders Captains of pirate ships. But to forget ignore the grandeur of the motives of hose others who have furnished unsurpassed and unsurpassable exhibition of loyalty and devotion to the oftiest ideals?
 Men enter the arena of business and of politics in two widely different states of mind-those with sus- picion and those with faith.
 In the long the latter will reach the goal They may be- sometimes, cheated and deceived but the long, slow ages have furnished proof indubtable it by trusting and not by doubng others that the greatest ends of human life have been achieved
 William Howard Taft has seen too much of human life be credulous. There and nations who have forfeited their claim to the confidence of theil fellows. He would not cover the nsncerity of Ger many with broad mantle of his credence but neither will he let their vices shake his faith in all the other nations
 He is right and absolutely in his confidence ir the good intentions of enough of these nations rant the world in believing their world of honor TC takeit for granted that all them pirates and ready to scuttle the ship would fill the world with pessimsm and despair.
 We go with Mr. Taft. We put faith in thf honesty of those nations which undertaking tc establish universal peace. We abhor the unfatl of men whose dstrust would ditch the greatest and the !noblest movement made in the sacred names of justice and of right.

ERZBERGER'S CLAIM.

One does not need to take Maximilian Harden's word that if peace had been German peace the would have been at least hard those which will be imposed upon Germany.
 Another source of information is a momerandun, made by Matthias Erzberger in 1914, outlining his ideas of peace, which has just turned up in the hands of the man who secretary to Kurt Eisned when he led the first rebellion in Munich.
 In that document Erzberger claimed for Germany all of Belgium and part of the French coast, the mines in French Lorraine, the Channel Islands, the dismerberment of Russia, all of the African posses sions of France and Belgium, British Nigeria, and enough indemnity to pay all of the of the to redeem all German bonds, all damages caused in. Germany by the and create sufficient fund to care for all of Germany's disabled soldiers
 Those German delegates should revert to this lovely dream. that was being dreamed by the whole Empire few short years ago, before they finally reject the peace terms that have been offered by the Allies. It might be that the terms that would be imposed at Berlin by invading army would not. be so favorable the that under confederation. Germany should sign up while con- diticps are favorable for writing.
