Maternity is a crisis in a woman's

"Friend,” has been prepared for over
three generations, especially for ex

of kidney disease. While kidney dis-’

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

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."

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-

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.
