Former President Gives Good
Advice in Address Made
Last Night.
(By A*s?ia??J Prc?.?
MORRISTOWN. N, J-. Feb. 22.-The
United States is threatened with a
sorious invasion of tts rights as a
neutral by the warring, nations of
Eurone, and In preserving Its com
mence with those nations is fact to
fae? with a crisis, in the opinion of
P1 '?WlMLj?3klent ftm. H Taft ln
fbYmdv -Tj^-^t^hat crisis, should lt
the solutioA 'toi-'^gU must be allowed
arise, no jingo spflfe*Mvised; neither
to prevail. Mr. Tait alston should
pride nor momentary V ?
influence judgment. ;<?a? .'Oifict." 1
"And when the president 8haTl*Uv?^
Mr. Taft declared, "we must stand by
him to the end. In this d?termination
?we may be sure that all will join, no
matter what their previous views, no
matter what their European origin.
All will forget their differences in
self-sacrificing.loyalty tn our common
flag and our common country."
Mr. Taffs reference lo the situation
confronting the United States was
made at the conclusion of an address
before the Washington Association of
New Jersey. Quoting . a reservation
in the-treaty of Algeclras, proclaimed
tn 1607, and entered into by the Uni
ted States and ll European nattons in
cluding most of those now at war, Mr.
Taft said:
"Our interests in the present war. un
der the . conditions that exist, should

the belligerents; to the protection at

citizens'residing or traveling in their
countries omi to the aiding by our
friendly uiiict-H ami okiorts in bringing
/those countries to peace:'
"Our effortrfor peace," he continued
"have been made aa complete as pos
sible.' for. the president has already
tendered hts good Offices ly way .of
i mediation between, the pokers, and
" they have not beim accepted.
"Iii preserving the commerce, of tho
United States with the belligerents,
however, we are face to face with a
crisis. The planting of mines in the

when found In a ao-cniled-war acne
of tho open sea, are all of them a vari
ation front the. niles of International
law; governing the action of belliger
ents towards neutral trade.
"When their violation results in the
destruction of the lives of American
citizens, or of American property, a

In Restoring Peace
(By Anociatad Pres*.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Interven
tion by the I'nited States. Argentina.
Brazil and Chile tc police Mexico with
a v.icw of establlsl lng and maintain
ing order was advocated in the Ben
ito today by Senator Fall, of New
Mexico. .
During consideration of tho_v?rniy I

Since the Niagara mediation, he
said, he felt lt would be well for the !
United States to.Invite the three med
iating nations to Join this country in
restoring o--der In Mexico, "by reliev
ing 40.C0O.00O people of that country !
from the grip of A 50.000 bandits who
are choking them to death." The New
York police force could have restored
order in Mexico at one time, the sen
ator assorted, and he added that not
a very large force would b-3 necessary
now.
The Mexican people believed tho
.United States had been false to obliga
tions assumed at Niagara by not re
quiring Carranza to guarantee thc
lives and properly of political oppon
ents upon hl3 entry into Mexico City,
he declared. Both Villa and .Carran
za, he said, were fighting with tho
Tampico oil Acids as their goal, and
agents of each had sought to organize
financial backing to take charge of the
flotrfs hVsoou aTTBey gained posses
sion of them.
Senator Fall took the position, .'that
President Wilson had been grossly

Instead of conditions improving, he

claiming Ute presidency of thu repub
lic, abd each leader regards every
town ho enters as the territory ot the
enemy for purposes of plunder. Each
of them, he insisted. Issued his own
currency, which must be- accepted
upon penalty of being shot.
Senator Fall concluded his speech
by' ah attack upon Villa's character.
He declared that upon Villa's entry
into Mexico City he found, a hotel in
charge ot a French woman whose
husband had joineo his colors In
France after placing his property In
charge of thc French minister. Sena
tor Fall declared Villa took thia wo
man frrm the place and detained her
four days. He' expressed his belief
that tbe i^nnh government had pro
tested to the Uuiicd States against
the act
"This was not the oct of a subor
dinate, but of Villa and I am not re
peating rumor," declared Sehator Fall.
"This ls the man dpon whom the
administration. I might Bay, sincerely
seems to have looked to bring order
out of chaos in Mexico."

8once of definite information UB to .

Bryan cabled to American Minister t
Van Dyke at Thc Hague asking that S
every care be extended to the crew a
and an investigation of tho occurrence
be made through all available agen- a

Earlier In the day Secretary Daniels ?

aster. v; 1
Basing their oplnipn upon the the- 1
orv that it was a mine, and not a sub- ?
marine, which destroyed the Evelyn,'*

Although there has been no protest (
