He has just made a thirty day .tour of the cantonments for the War Work Council of the -Young Men’s Chnistian Association. ‘ Mr. Taft talked on the Great War —why we are in it; what caused it; who will win it. . ‘“The battle is not won in the first day, but by the commandcr and the army that are ready, even after ap parent defeat, to begin the next day,” he said. . Liked His ILsugh and Talk This is the stuff the soldiers liked. They believed it. They have to live ft. And bemides liking what Mr. Taft said, the soldiers loved to hear him lJangh. : The Commanding- Officers at each canfoament welcomed Mr. Taft and with their stafls escorted him to headquarters. The salient argu monts in Mr. Taft's address follow: P:u Bow, even though it be -made on the basis of the restoration of the status tm “without indemnities and witbhout annewations,” would be a failure to achieve the great purpose for vm %flu have made h“fld t; Armament: wo eontin next war, an this wap voagw‘"boen fought in vain, : '"‘fi eg are m‘“ o f i ; or a prin ciple maintenapce of which af ects th“‘?znn of civilization. 1f do schieve it they have aae k flower of their youth and their future for a century.

She knew that Russia was utterly unprepared. She knew that France was unprepared. She knew that Great Britain was unprepared.. She' herself was ready to the last cannon and the last reservist. To End Militarism * President Wilson says the Allies are fighting to make the world safe for demoeracy:; Some misconception has been created on this head. The Allies are not struggling to force a particular form of government on Germany. Their purpose i{s fo end the military policy and foreign policy of Germany that looks to the maintenanee of a military and naval machine, with its hair-trigger prepa ration for use against her neighbors. How is the change to be effected? By defeating Germany in this war. Men who see clearly the kind of peace which we must have, to be a real and lasting peace, can have no sympathy with a patched-up peacs, one made at a council tahle, the re sult of diplomatic chaffering and bar gaining. ~ And now what of the United States? The right of non-combatants en commercial vessels, officers, crew, and passengers, either enemy or neu tral, to be secure from danger of life, has always been recognized and never contested. Nevertheless, Ger mn:(‘ sank, without warning, 150 American citizens, men, women and children, and sent them to their death by a submarine tor pedo, simply because they happened to be on English or American com mercial vessels. We protested and Germany halted for a timé. We thought that if we comdoned the death of 160 we might still maintain peace with that Power. ‘ U. 8. Forced Into War But it was not to-%e, and after more than a year Germany an nounced her purpose to resume this murderous and illegal course toward. innocent Americans. Had we hesi tated, We would have lost our inde pendence as a people. But we are at a danger point. The war is now to be dstermined by’ the active tenacity of purpose of the con testants. England showed that ten acity in the wars of Napoleon. Na poleon suéeumbed. General Grant, in his Memoirs, says that the battle is won mot fn the first day, but by the ’comnsnder and the army that are {:2’. eveh after apparent defeat, to n the next day.

Press on. Roll them back. The War Department and the whole country congratulates you. If there is anything you need ‘Over There,’ just ring me up and I'll ship it over.” This is a purely imaginary con versation between General Pershing, sitting in his headquarters in France, and Secretary Baker at his desk in the War Department in Washington, but after next August it will be not only possible but prob able. g Work of putting General Pershing and Sefretary Baker into telephomne connection is being rushed. The fact that 3,000 miles of water and hun ldrocll of miles of land will separate ‘ttl:‘elm will be an incomsequential de- Telephone communication between the two will be established when the giant redio station which the United States Government is buildimg in g‘nn:e is completed. The statien is et& constructed by the Navy De partinent, which has charge of all radip communicatiop. It will cost $2,260,000 and bhe as powerful as the wireless station at Arlington, Va., which has a range of almost §,- 000 miles. The practicability of using the telephone in connection with wire less telegraphy was established many months ago amrd Secretary’ of the Navy Daniels has already sat in his office in Washington and talked to the commanders of vessels far out at sea. 1t would take an entire volume to fully explain how.the human voice NEW WAR TELEGRAPH SENDS 6,000 WORDS A MINUTE A seven-league stride has recently been made in high speed telegraphy.
