H IS REPLY WILL HARM NO ONE Calm Deliberation, Says ex President, Cannot Minimize Effect of Decision. PEOPLE EVENTUALLY PAY Flea Made That Those. Who Must Km u ro lie Sot Hurried Into Sac rifices; Toast to Wilson Is Pro posed by Mr. Tuft. PHILADELPHIA, May 12. Ex-President Taft urged patience and calmness In the present international situation and called on the citizens of the coun try to stand by President Wilson, in an address at the Union League here tonight. Referring to the sinking of the Lusitania, Professor Taft said "the inhumanity of the circumstances in the case presses us on. but in the heat of even Just indignation is not the best time to act, when action involves such momentous consequences and means untold loss of life and treasure." "There are things worse than war," Mr. Taft declared, "but delay, duo to calm deliberation, cannot change the situation or minimize the effect of what we finally conclude to do. With the present condition of the war in Kurope our action, if It-is to be ex treme, will not loso efficacy by giving time to people whose war it will be to know what they are facing. Responsibility on President. "Under our Constitution the Presi dent conducts our foreign affairs until Congress finds it necessary to declare war. Upon him Is the acute respon sibility in such a crisis. Jf ho were to yield to the cry of extremists and summon Congress to take extreme measures, he would have great influ ence with Congress under such a provocation. Indeed, the impulse to such action has usually been stronger with Congress than with the Executive. "Now, it may be that & series of acts of inhumanity and violations of the laws of war to our National detriment and against our citizens may force us on and lead our people to believe that -whatever the cost, no otner course is open to us. "But wo must bear In mind that If wo have a war It Is the people who must pay with lives and money the cost of it. and therefore they should not be hurried Into the sacrifice until it is clear that they wish it and know what they are doing when they wish it. "A demand for war that cannot sur vive' the' passion of the first days of public indignation and will not endure the test of delay and deliberation by all the. people is not one that should bo yielded to." , The 'President, he said, was acting like Washington, Lincoln and McKin ley in trying to avoid war. In the pres ent situation it was imperative that he should know the opinion of the Country without regard to prejudice. "The task of the President Is a heavy one," continued Mr. Taft. "He Is act ing for the whole country He is anxious to find a way out of. the pres ent difficulty without war. Toft Tonxt Ja to l'rexirirn t. 'Before purty, before ' ourselves, we are for our country. That Is what he is working for. Khali wo not stand by him in it? He will not surrender our country's right. It may be necessary that for 100 lives and the method of their taking- we should loso thousands jitid hundreds of thousands of lives. The National honor and interests may ultimately demand it, but time for seri ous thought and clearly weighing the consequences will not prejudice the Justice of our'cause or the opportunity to vindicate it, and this the President may be .counted on to secure. "It is the people's cause, not his alone, and he does well, when quick action is of no critical importance, to allay Excitement and to await the reg ular arid studied action of the people's representatives." At the conclusion of his address Air. Taft proposed a toast to "The Presi dent of the United States." This was rlrurtk standing and amid a great out burst of enthusiasm.

The police issued rtrlct orders to all the residents of Paris at 7:S0 o'clock tonight to extin guish all lights or cover.wtndows with heavy curtains, as Zeppelin dirigibles had been signaled. The people of raris did not appear to be in the least afraid, and crowds cuthered in all the open places to watch the French aeroplane flotilla performing evolutions. As each aero plane carried a trong- searchlight, the effect was striking', as the white path of the light resembled the tail of comet.

IHE matinee idol as a species is I almost extinct, and It's a poor star nowodays who hasn't been filmed, but John Drew has never yet had his distinguished features put into a movie plot And his popularity, like Tenny son's book, keeps running right along, forever and forever. Not that Mr. Drew hasn't been ap proached by enterprising managers with a view to embalming the Drew personality on several miles of reels. "I won't say 1 haven't listened," said Mr. Drew, "because some of the offers are; more tempting than the outsider can know. But I've nothing to be filmed in" unless It is "Rosemary," my present revival. I may consent to do this one play. It wuld make an ex quisite picture, wouldn't it?" "Rovemary" In Film Discnsaed. I agreed with enthusiasm. "There'd be so much more to be seen in a picture of 'Rosemary,'" went on Mr. Drew.

"Ah - yea, we can put in so much more," he wound up. "Yes." I said, "but you'll have to leave out even more and the best part. What would 'Rosemary' be without your whimsical, humorous twistings of Sir Jasper's lines, his gay laugh and his heart-breaking gentle sighs in that wonderful epilogue? And we couldn't hear the soft, sweet voice of Dorothy, or the growls and grunts of her father, or the delicious "Who am I's' of the professor." "Oh, well," said J. D., seeing we were on the verge of an argument, "I haven't even said I'd consider going into the movies. In fact, I think I'll stay out of them and enjoy the somewhat novel position of being one of the few men stars who aren't in the silent drayma," Actor Alone In Class.

EIGHT TYPES DISCUSSED Deliberations Are to Be Continued When Matter of Kequiring- Tea Year Maintenance Bond Is to Be One ot Topics. At a meeting of the County Com missioners Tuesday with Roadmaster Yeon and Road Engineer Nunn, "to which neither the publio nor news papermen were admitted, specifications of the eight types of pavement on which bids are to be asked for the hard surfacing of county roads under tho bond issue. were discussed. No statement was given out. except that the discussion was over technical points in the specifications,' and that the deliberations may continue for sev eral days before the specifications are finally worded to the satisfaction of the Commissioners. The opinion of District Attorney Evana advising against the require ment of a 10-year maintenance bond from successful bidders on the ground ot its doubtful legality under the wording of the road act and that it further would automatically shut out from competition all paving but was 'enlte, will be discussed, among other things. at this morning's session. Surety companies have declined to give paving maintenance bonds for longer than five years, but the manufacturers of warrenite, through their business connection with one company, do give 10-ylear bonds. There is a probability also that a change in the specifications for con crete pavement from those in use in Wayne County, Michigan, to those used by Pierce County, Washington, will be discussed. In the meantime bids for the $1,250.- 000 road bond issue voted last month are receivable today, though probably no bids will be accepted before June. There a e still a few minor points. chiefly technicalities, in the road bond i'ct to be cleared up, though the legal ity of the bonds is no longer in ques tion. BANQUET GIVEN BISHOP REV. R. J.

Reference to the present trying situ, atlon of tho United States in its re lations to other nations was made by Rev. S. H. Dewart, pastor of Linnton Methodist Church, in offering the fol lowing toast to the president: "With firmness In the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in." These memorable-words, spoken half a century ago at a critical period in our country's history, expressed the true American spirit then, and they express the true American spirit now. We, too, have work and . having, with judicial calmness, decided what is right, we must put that right into action, and every American can be depended upon to do his duty. Life is indeed sacred, yet the right use of life is of supreme importance. "This nation at this time confides In its chief Kxecutive to see- to it that the Republic suffer no harm.

LOSS OF LIVES REGRETTED Warning Is Cited in Reply to Cliargo of Piracy Made by ex-President Roosevelt and Words Are lie clarcd Bitterly Resented. BERLIN, via London, May 12. The ttention of Baron Mumm von Schwarzenstein, who, after long years of diplomatic service, is now occupying a high position in the German Foreign Office, has been called to the sharp criticisms of Germany in the American press In connection with the sinking of the Lusitania, the words attributed to ex-President Roosevelt, that the sinking of the Lusitania was the greatest act of piracy in history being especially emphasized. The Baron au thorized the following statement: - 1 'If Mr. Roosevelt used these words. then he hurled an insult at the whole German people which we bitterly re sent, even at a time when we have to submit to the hatred and falsity of enemies and former friends. lie in sulted, without excuse, men who, fear less of death, discharged their duty to the fatherland in the hour of need without hope of booty.

"Nobody regrets more sincerely than we Germans the hard necessity of sending to their deaths hundreds of men. Yet the sinking was a jutifiable act of war, just like the bombarding of a fortress or even an unfortified city within the theater of war and de stroying them with all the terrible in struments of modern warfare without regard for the peaceable people living therein.

NEUTRALS NOT TO Bli HARMED Berlin Iasucs Circular Promising to Pay for Errors. WASHINGTON, May 12. Germany. through Ambassador Gerard. today notified the United States that sub marine commanders have been specifi cally Instructed not to harm neutral vessels not engaged in hostile acts, and that Germany would pay for dam ages to such ships in the war rone. The text of the announcement cabled by Ambassador Gerard, which was is sued 0 the Berlin Foreign Office in the form of a circular, follows: Fust Imperial German government naturally has no intention of cauius to be attacked by submarines or air craft such neutral sh.ps of commerce in the zone of a aval warfare, or def initely described in the notice of the German Admiralty staff ' of Feb ruary 4 last, as . have been guilty of no hostile Act On the contrary, thy most definite instructions repeatedly have been issued the German war vessel to avoid attacks on such ships under ell circumstances. Even when such ships have contraband of war on board, they are dealt with by submarines solely according to the rule of inter national law applying to prize war fare. "Two Should a neutral ship never theless come to harm through German submarines or air craft on account of an unfortunate (word missing in text) in the above mentioned zone of naval warfare, the German .government will unreservedly recognize its responsl bllity therefor. In such a case, it wfTl express its regrets and afford damages without first instituting a prize oourt action. "Three It is the custom of the Ger man government, as soon as the sink ing of a 'neutral ship in the above mentioned zone of naval warfare is ascribed -to German war vessels, to in stitute an immediate investigation into the - cause. If grounds appear thereby to be given for association of such an hypothesis, the German navy places itself in communication with the interested- neutral government, so that the latter may also institute an investigation. "If the German government Is there by convinced that the ship has been destroyed by German war vessels. It will not delay in carrying out the pro visions of paragraph two above. In case the German gavernment, contrary to the viewpoint of the neutral gov ernment, is not convinced by the re suit of the investigation, the German government has already on several oc casions declared itself ready to allow the question to be decidedby an in ternational commission, according to chapter three of The Hague Conven tion October 18, 1907. for the peaceful solution of International disputes."

HOPE OF PEACE EXPRESSED Judge cieeton Says United States Should Xot Go to War Kven if No Apology Is Given, but Re lations Might Be Broken. The rjresenf trying situation Of the United States in its foreign relations, which was described as a crisis, was reflected by the speakers in their re Bponses to toasts at the thirtieth an nual banquet of the Oregon Comman- dery. Military Order of the Loyal Le e-ion. at the Hotel Multnomah xuesaay tilBht. The dinner was spread in the blue dining-room of the hotel. Decorations were American flags and bprlngr tlow ers. Colonel Thoman M. Anderson was toastmaster. The addresses were full of patriotism and it was said that the present is a time that calls this senti ment from every American. That the United States may not be come embroiled an the European con flict was the expressed wish of Judge T. J. Cieeton, who responded to the toast. "Patriotic Tradition." Judse tier-Ion Would Avoid War. "When we defend our lag," he aald. wo are performing the highest service for all humanity. In the acute crisis of tho present time I believe wo will be able to pass through our difficulties without involving our country in war. "I believe as a Nation we are entitled to an apology, to reparation and to promises that in the future there will be no repetition of such offenses as we have suffered. If that is refused, should we go to .war? I submit that we should not. "I believe we should rather take the common sense and lofty view that If we cannot ca-y on relations with na tions that subvert our rights, we should withdraw from them and cease to have dealings with them until such timeo as they shall meet us on terms of am ity and decency between nations. Low Reoto od Arms. The motto of the order, "Lex Regit, Anna Tuentur," was the toast to which Colonel C. K. S. Wood responded. He said law has always rested upon arms, and he knew of no period of the world when this has not been 'so. He said there will never be a discontinuance warfare until there is the same evolution among nations as between Individuals and a tribunal is establisheJ which will have force to support Its decree. Dr. Luther R. Dyott, speaking on the subject, "Duties and Demands of Citi zenship," urged a higher standard and a higher patriotism. Colonel James Jackson, who was called upon by Toastmaster Anderson, sounded a note of warning to the people uf the country, reading an extract from Tacitus to prove his point. He said a weak nation inevitably succumbs to the strong. GIRL SEES RIVALS BATTLE Boy of 17 Kills .Former Friend, 19, Through Jealousy. ROODHOUSE, 111., May 6.
