REPEAL ARMS EMBARGO, TAFT URGES , 7T t Sale of Arms Supported By Ohio Senator Credit Extension Opposed, However. Also Permit to U. S. Ships to Enter Zone of War. WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. (AP) Senator Taft (It..

"We should prohibit our- ships from going to Europe." he said. "That policy is no more cowardly tlum tt in to keen neople out of a burning house.

"The popular opposition to this bill, as far as II exists, is based on suspicion of the president's tendency to Interfere in Ihe Eu ropean war. lie has publicly pledged his determination to keep America at peace, and wo can surely accept that pledge." Taft. son of the pre-world war president, urged congress remain in session lo act promptly "on any emergency which may arise." An anus embargo, Taft said, makes w ar more likely throughout tho world. "It favors warlike nations which build up their armaments In lime of peace," he declared, "and it discriminates against those, lia tions which, hoping for peace and relying on treaties, fail to pour vast sums into armament.

Military advices said the French army was keeping sharp watch on the front, wondering why on u "magnificently clear night' it was calm except lu the Warudt forest region, where a communique said small enemy patrols were repulsed. French observers speculated on whether Ihe Germans intended to hi unch a major offensive. They said the Germans, from their at tempts to lake prisoners despite ad verse weather, appeared equally anxious to know French intentions. The reported hall in the German raids was ascribed to tho possibil ity lliat Ihey were too costly. ( A German supreme command communique In Merlin said the French yesterday blew up Rhine liver bridges at Winlersdorf, Kreis acb and Neiiuburg, Unking Alsace Lorraine and southern Germany.)
