EX-PRESIDEKT TAFT PREDICTS
THE WORLD'S WORST WAR
THE following "messago to tho
peoplo of tho United States" by

In tho Independent of tills week:
"Ab I write Germany la reported
to havo dcclnreil wnr against Russia
and France, and the participation of
England on ono sldo nnd of Italy on

Napoleonic wars, and with modern
nrmamonts nnd larger populations
nothing lins occurred like it slnco
the world hognn.
"It Is a catuclysm. It is a rotro
grado stci in Christian civilization.
It will bo difficult to keep tho var
ious countries of the Ilalkans out of
tho war, and Greece and Turkoy may
take part in it. All isuropo is to no u
battleground. It Is reported that tliu
neutrality of Holland has already
been Ignored, and Belgium offers
nttch opportunities In tho campaign
certain to follow that her territory
too will ho tho sccno or strugglo.
"I'rlvnto property nnd commercial
shipping under tin cnomy's flag are
subject to capture nnd appropriation
by prlzo proceedings and with the
formidable navies of England, Franco
Oiennany, Russia nnd Italy active

"Tho commcrco of tho world makes
much for tho prosperity of tho coun

Us Interruption means grent Incon
venience and economic Buffering

or war. Tho capital which tho Euro

billions in tho United Stntcs, Canada,

test of the world, except that we shall
not bo destroying or blowing up our
existing wealth or sacrificing tho lives
of our best young men nnd youth.
"It Is hard to prophesy tho scopo
of a war like this because history
offers no proccdent. It Is Impossible
to foiesee the limits of a war of nny
proportions when confined only to
two countries. In our own small
Spanish war wo began It to frco Cuba
and when the war closed wo found
oursolves 10,000 miles away with tho
Philippines on our hands.
"The Immense waste of llfo and
treasure In a modem war makes the
loss to tho conqueror only less, If in
deed It bo less, thnn tho loss to the
conquered.
"With a high patriotic spirit peoplo
enter upon wnr with confidence and
with tho thought of mnrtlnl glory
and success. Tho sacrifices they havo
to make, tho suffering thoy havo to

victory does rest upon their banners
they seek a scapegoat for that which
they themselves hnvo brought on In
tho head of tho state, and tho king
or emperor who begins a wnr or al
lows ono to begin puts at stake not
only the prcstlgo of his nation but
also tho stability and Integrity of Ids
