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.

distinguished features put into a movie

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

I agreed with enthusiasm.
"There'd be so much more to be seen

Mr. Drew. 'Instead of Just showing

"Oh, well," said J. D., seeing we were

County Officials Consider Road
Specifications.
EIGHT TYPES DISCUSSED
Deliberations Are to Be Continued
When Matter of Kequiring- Tea

Be One ot Topics.
At a meeting of the County Com

Yeon and Road Engineer Nunn, "to
which neither the publio nor news
papermen were admitted, specifications
of the eight types of pavement on

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.-

are receivable today, though probably
no bids will be accepted before June.

Reference to the present trying situ,

"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.

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."

CRISIS IS SUBJECT
Loyal Legion Speakers Re
gard Situation Seriously.
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. Lloyd
Whitworth was stabbed to death in the
parlor of the home of Helen Mancell,
at White Hall, by Klton Thorpe. 17
years old. .The two were, rivals for
the girl's aiTectiorts and this was their
first meeting for several weeks.
Tho Thorpe youth caught a train a
few minutes after the quarrel, but re
turned later and surrendered to Sheriff
Kdwards.
Whitworth was 19 years old and
Helen is 17. All are children of
wealthy farmers. The homes of the
boys are here. Both had been calling
on Miss Mancell for several months.
Of late they had been avoiding each
other and the bitter feeling between
them was apparent to friends.
Whitworth and Miss Mancell were
sitting in the parlor when Thorpe
called. They began to quarrel imme
diately. In the scuffle which followed
Thorpe stabbed his former friend below
the left shoulder and fled, w hitworth
died in about half an hour.
"I never dreamed they felt so bitter
toward each other just on account of
being acquainted with me." Miss Man
cell said. "I liked both of them just
about the same. I'm awfully sorry for
Elton. I suppose they'll arrest him and
his whole life will be ruined. And it
doesn't seem possible that Lloyd is
dead."

HOW THIN PEOPLE
CflH PUT ON FLESH
A Mew Discovery.
Thin men and women that iiic,
hearty, filling dinner you ate lt nihi.
What became of all the fat-producing
nourishment It contained? Yon haven't
gained in weight one ounce. That food
passed from your body like unburned
roal through an open grate. The ma
terial was there, but your food doesn t
work and stick, and the plain truth Is
you hardly get enough nourishment
from your meals to pay for the coat of
cooking. This is true of thin folks the.
world over. Your nutritive orga-ns,
your functions of assimilation, are sad
ly out of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Omit the flesli cream
rub-nns. Cut out everything but tho
meals ou are eating now and t with
every one of those a single ssreol tau
let. In two weeks note the difference.
Five to eight good solid pounds of
healthy, "stay there" fat should be the
net result. Sargol charges your weak,
staKliant blood with millions ot fresh
new red blood corpuscles gives the
blood the carrying power to deliver
every ounce of fst-msktng material In
your food to every part of your body.
Sargol, too, mixs with your food
and prepares it for the Mood
in easily assimilated form. Thin peoplo
gain all the way from 10 to pounds
a month while taking tiargol, and the
new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are
a scientific combination of six of the
best flesh-producing elements known to
