Allies Must Beat Germany To Knees to Win Just Peace Taft Tells Gordon Soldiers Ex-President Delivers Stirring. . Address in Liberty Theater on “The Great War” Friday Afternoon Peace can only be possible when the) allies have driven Germany to her knees, declared William Howard Taft, ex-president of the United Stales, in his address Friday afternoon at Camp Gor don on "The Great War." The substance of Mr. Taft's speech, which was delivered in the Liberty theater to the members of the One Hun dred and Sixty-fourth infantry and the One Hundred and 'Fifty-seventh depot brigade, was as follows: "England. France, Russia. Italy and now the United States, as allies, are engaged in the greatest war of history to secure permanent world peace. With twenty or more millions of men at the colors, with the losses in dead, wounded and captured of more than 25 per cent, with debts piling mountain-high and reaching many, many billions, they are fighting for a definite purpose, and that is the defeat of German militarism. If the Prussian military caste retains its power to control the military and for eign policy of Germany after the war, peace will not be permanent, and war will begin again when the chauvinistic advisors of the Hohenzollern dynasty deem a conquest and victory possible. "The war has not been won. Germany is in possession of Belgium and part of northern France. She holds* Serbia and Rumania, Poland and the Baltic prov inces of Russia. Peace now. even though it be made on the basis of the restoration of the status quo “without indemnities and without annexations," would be a failure to achieve the great purpose for which the allies have made heartrending sacrifice. Armaments would continue for the next war, and this war would have been fought in vain. "He who proposes peace now. there fore. either does not see the stake for which the allies are fighting, or wishes the German military autocracy still to control the destinies of all of us as to peace or war. Those who favor perma nent world peace must oppose with might and main the proposals for peace at this juncture in the war, whether made in socialistic councils, in pro- German conferences, or by Pope Bene dict. "The allies are fighting for a principle the maintenance of which affects the future of civilization. If they do not achieve it they have sacrificed the flower of their youth and mortgaged their future for a century. The allies cannot concede peace until they conquer it. When they do so, it will be perma nent. Otherwise they fail. "Why, though anxious to promote peace, do the members of the League to Enforce Peace feel that any proposal of peace in the present situation would defeat permanent world peace, and should be opposed by them with all the energy they can command? The an swer to this question must be found In the causes of this war and the revela tions it has made of Germany’s purpose. German Organization “Germany was long divided into little states, kingdoms, duchies, and other forms of one-man rule. All her well wishers hoped for and looked forward to her union. In the wars of the first Napoleon, Prussia and other German states were subjected to a great humila tion. But the German youth rebelled, organized themselves into military re serves and finally contributed much to the defeat of the. man whose lust for universal power finds his counterpart In the aim of the Hohenzollerns of today. In 1848 democratic revolutions occur red throughout Germany and in Aus tria, but they were overcome. “Under the first Williaun with his Prime Minister Bismarck, who came to power in 1862, the whole Prussian na tion was made into an army, and it soon became a machine with a power of con quer equaled by no other. The cynical, unscrupulous, but effective, diplomacy of Bismarck first united Prussia with Austria to deprive Denmark of Schles wig-Holstein by force, then secured a quarrel with Austria over spoils, and deprived her of all influence over the German states by humiliating defeat in the six weeks' war of 18(56. After this war, several German states were annex ed forcibly to Prussia and offensive and defensive alliances were made with others. "Then in 1870 the occasion was seized, when it was known that France was not prepared, to strike at her. France was beaten, and Alsace and Lorraine were taken from her. The German Empire was established with a Prussian king at its head. Then Germany settled down to a period of peace to digest the territory which by these wars had been absorbed. “The destiny of Germany grew larger in the eyes of her emperor and her peo ple. and the blood and iron policy which had been directed first to the achieve ment of the unity of Germany expanded into a dream of Germanizing the world. A cuU of philosophy to spread the propaganda developed itself in the uni versities and schools. The principle was that the state could do no wrong, that the state was an entity that must be sustained by force; that everything else must be sacrificed to its strength; that the only sin the state could com mit was neglect and failure to maintain its power. Foreign Policy "This proposition easily led into the further conclusion that there could be no international morality; that morality and its principles applied only to indi viduals. but that when the action of the state was involved, considerations of honor, of the preservation of obligations solemnly made, must yield if the inter ests of the state required. “And so Germany did not plan the killing of the Austrian archduke and his consort, but the minute that that presented the likelihood of war. Ger many accepted it as the opportunity for her to strike down her neighbors. Rus sia and France, and to enlarge her pow er. She gladly gave her consent to the ultimatum of Austria to Serbia that Wonderful Egg Producer Any poultry raiser can easily double bis profits by doubling the egg production of his hens.

(Advt. t was sure to bring on war, and then posed as one driven into war by the mobilization of Russia. “She knew that Russia was utterly un prepared. She knew that France was unprepared. She knew that Great Brit ain was unprepared. She herself was ready to the last cannon and the last re servist. Therefore, when appealed to [by Great Britain and by all the other powers to intervene and prevent. Aus tria from forcing a universal war, Ger many declined to act. "When the war began, Germany was able to convince her people and to con vince many in the world that the issue in the war was a mere controversy be tween the Teuton and the Slav, and Germany asked with great plausibility. "Will you have the world controlled by the Slav or by the German?" As the war wore on, the real issue was cleared of This confusion. Russia became a de mocracy. The fight was between gov ernments directed by their people on the one hand, and the military dynasties of Germany, Austria and Turkey on the other. "President Wilson says the allies are fighting to make the world safe for democracy. Some misconception has been created on this head. The allies are not struggling to force a particular form of government on Germany. If the German people continue to wish an emperor it is not the purpose of the allies to require them to have a re public. Their purpose is to end the military policy and foreign policy of Germany that looks to the maintenance of a military and naval machine, with its hair-trigger preparation for use against her neighbors. Must Defeat Huns “How is the change to he effected? By defeating Germany in this war. A de feat of the military machine must open the eyes of the "German people to the hideous futility of their political course. The German government will then be changed as its people will have it changed to avoid a recurrence of such a tragedy as they have deliberately pre pared for themselves. “Men who see clearly the kind of peace which we must have, in order to be a real and lasting peace, can have no sympathy therefore with a patched-up peace, one made at a council table, the result of diplomatic chaffering and bar gaining. This war is now being fought by the allies as a league to enforce peace. Unless they compel it by victory, they do not enforce it. "And now what of the United States? "As conscientiously as possible, the administration and the country pursued the course laid down by international law as that which a neutral should take. International law is the rule of conduct of nations toward one another, accepted and asquie.sced in by all na tions. In the law of war as to capture at sea of commercial vessels, the prin ciples have been established clearly by the decision of prize courts of all na tions, English, American. Prussian and French. The right of noncombatants on commercial vessels, officers, crew and passengers, either enemy or neutral, to be secure from danger of life, has al ways been recognized and never con tested. Nevertheless, Germany sank, without warning, 150 American citizens, men, women and children, and sent them to their death by a submarine torpedo, simply because they happened to be on English or American com mercial vessels. We protested and Ger many halted for a time. We thought that if we condoned the death of 150 we might still maintain peace with that power. "But It was not to be, and after more than a year Germany announced her purpose to resume this murderous and illegal course toward innocent Ameri cans. Had we hesitated, we would have lost our independence as a people. Ger many deliberately forced us into the ranks of her enemies, and she did it because she was obsessed with the be lief that the submarine was the instru ment of destruction by which she might win the war. At Danger Point "But we are at a danger point. Eng land and France and Russia since 1914 have been fighting the battle of the world and fighting for us of America. The three years or more of war have drained their vitality, strained their credit, exhausted their manpower, sub jected manw of their noncombatants to suffering and destruction, and they have the war weariness which dulls the ear lier enthusiasm for the principles at stake. “The war is now to be determined by the active tenacity of purpose of the contestants. England showed that ten acity in the wars of Napoleon. Napoleon succumbed. General Grant, in his Me moirs, says that the battle is won, not in the first day, but by the commander and the army that is ready, even after apparent defeat, to begin the next day. It is the side that has the nerve that will win. “ ‘lt is dogged that does it.’ Stamp on all proposals of peace as ill advised or seditious, and then time will make for our certain victory. "When the war is won, the United States will insist on a just peace, not one of material conquest. It is a moral victory the world should win. "Meantime, let us hope and pray that all the allies will reject proposals for settlement and compromise of every na ture; that they will adhere strictly and religiously to the principle that until a victorious result gives security that the world shall not again be drenched in blood through the Insanely selfish polish of a military caste ruling a de luded people intoxicated with material success and power, there will be no peace." Is Held at Columbus On Swindling Charge; Cotton Mills Are Hit COLUMBUS, Ga., Feb. 2.—J. W. Smith, alias M. J. Garnett, is being held here under a SSOO bond, pending a pre liminary hearing Monday on a charge of using the mails to swindle cotton mills. Smith, or Garnett, represented him self as a labor agent, writing various coton mills to the effect that he had laborers he could send on receipt of the necessary transportation expenses. The cotton mill at Crawford, Ga., seems to have been the first loser in the sum of SSO. according to the officers. Smith is in jail, having failed to make bond.

POSITIONS ON WEST FRONT ONLY 60 FEETFROM HUNS American Gunners Keeping Up Intermittent Cannonade o f German Trenches Along the Whole Sector WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Friday, Feb. L—(By the As sociated Press.)—American troops in trenches on the French front at one place are only sixty feet from the Ger man line. In another place a mile of ground separates the opposing (posi tions. At this point, however, there are a number of ponds and neither side apparently desires to occupy the water covered ground. The American trenches are all In more or less marshy ground and were shallow when the Americans moved in, but since then they have been deepen ed and improved. In every dugout the soldiers work almost constantly at the pumps keeping out the water which seeps in. But the watery conditions are unfavorable for trench rats and few of them are seen. In some places the artillery is on ground but little higher than the trenches, although a number of our bat teries manage to keep “dry feet” most of the time. The enemy artillery in some places is on higher ground than the American, and within sight of one of our positions there is a German ob servation post overlooking much ter ritory. This has been shelled repeat edly and doubtless has been hit on sev eral occasions. On clear nights the hill upon which this post stands out against the sky is illuminated occasionally by rockets sent up by one side or the other so that the men in the line may see the shadows which mean that the enemy is near. Might Scene Thrilling The scene at night is thrilling and inspiring. On the firing platforms the men stand near their rifles. Others splash through the trench, sometime slipping into water above their knees. They are probably going out on patrol. If the position is near the enemy lines, when a word is necessary, it is spoken in a whisper. Far away to one side of the position a white stream shoots up to the sky and breaks into white balls that throw a light as if from powerful electric batteries. The reflec tions show wire entanglements and scrubby bushes on the hills nearby, then the lights die out. All the while there is the intermit tent roar of guns and a whistle as of express trains as projectiles of differ ent calibres go rushing over the Amer ican trenches seeking a German tar get. The American soldiers have be come so accustomed to such sounds that now they apparently pay no at tention to them. Every man in the line at all times tias his eyes open for two kinds of colored rockets. One is green and the other is red. The first means asphyx iating gas and the other calls for a bar rage. Intermittently during the night there comes from different parts of the line the single crack of a rifle, as a sniper fires, or the rapid spit of a machine gun at some suspected point or object, for the machine gunners shoot first and ask questions afterwards. In the daytime It is different because the men in the line can see what is before them and there are no deceptive shadows. Aerial Activity During the past few days there has been no aerial activity because of the fog. but during the clear days preceding the bad weather the men in the line witnessed many thrilling flights in the air. German airplanes, coming over at a considerable height on observation trips, would be shelled vigorously as they came within range. Usually they fly in groups of three, but they sepa rate when the shrapnel puffs begin to break among them. A trail of smoke from bursting shells follows the enemy planes across the sky until they are out of range. If the German, after ducking and dodging shrapnel, get back of the Amer ican lines, French airplanes climb up after them and every time the Germans turn tail and retire. At other times our men watch French airplanes under the fire of German anti aircraft Latteries. The planes dodge this way and that if flying low, or continue straight on their course if they are high in the aJr. Sometimes the shrapnel bursts close to the plane and if it is a German machine, every man in the line forgets what he is doing for the mo- CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of ment hoping that a piece of shrapnel will find its mark and the enemy will d -;h to the ground. On at least one occasion the men have seen a machine come’down. It fell within the German line, but by the way it tumbled from the sky there was fib mistaking what had happened to its oc cupants, and cheers and yells arose from one end of the line to the other. Sheathed in Ice Today the whole American position is bathed in white. Fog has frozen to trees, bushes, poles, wire and the ground. In some places the ice coating is nearly an inch thick. All the men apparently are well satis fied with the food. Two meals a day are always served and sometimes there are three. For breakfast the men frequently get a large bowl of oatmeal as the principal dish, while at dinner there is beef or some other meat and vegetables. Supper sometimes brings bacon, corned beef hash or canned salmon. There is always good white bread made from American flour and plenty of it. The American regimental headquar ters just back of line is established in dugouts under the ruins of houses long since knocked down by German shells. It Is never known when the enemy may again take a notion to throw a few shells into the town, so the American commanders were determined their headquarters should be well pro tected. Within a certain radius of the front line every member of the American force is now required to wear his gas mask at alert position and never be without his shrapnel helmet. Super Destroyer Is Developed for Navy, Secretary Daniels Says WASHINGTON. Feb. I.—A new sub marine destroyer—found to be the most efficient of all types—has been develop ed by the navy department.
