TAFT REPLIES TO
PRESIDENTS WIRE

ATLANTA. Ga, March 1T am
deeply gratified to learn that you are
to speak with me at the meeting in
New York next Tuesday" President
Wilson wired former President Taft. who
is here attending the congress Of the
League to Enforce Peace
Mr.. Taft's reply to the Presidents
message was:
II thank you for your kind telegram.
am glad to have the opportunity Of
emphasizing the tranScendental mpor-
tance and the nonpartiBsn character Of
the issue In respect to the proposed
league OF nations by speaking with you
In New York next Tuesday night"
Another great war is inevitable,
Mr.. Taft told an audience last night,
unless the great nations enter into q
covenant to maintain peace.
1T is a mistake to suppose the de-
structive chara -er OF one war will
prevent another" he said. 1t Is in
stinctiVely human, he said. to forget.
Admitting that while there may be
some ambiguous words in the draft
Of the proposed league as IL now
stands, Mr. Taft said II would be easy
for the peace conference to clear up
such things and make II more specific.
