Coast Fortifications Defended. "It wcjuld be a reckless nation In deed," he continued, "that would send unarmed transports to our shores with such defences, even though the trans ports be convoyed by battleships. They don't dare come to our shores until they have swept our navy from the sea. "Our coast fortifications are as good as any in the world. It is all poppy cock to say that ships of a foreign nation could stand 15 miles out to sea and demolish our shore batteries. Our guns have long enough' range to make this impossible." - He cited the effort of the allied fleets J to demolish the forts of the Dardanelles, which he regarded weaker than our own. In fact, he said, our forts are equal in strength to any in the world. "But our army is weak," he declared flatly. We have a mobile army, in cluding infantry, cavalry and light ar tillery, of 25,000 men. Just double the members of the New York police force. Heed of Men Pointed Out. "The limit of our present army is 100.000 men, including the coast ar tillery and Philippine scouts. "We need 10,000 more men in our coast artillery to man the guns.' "We have a. national guard of 100, 000 men. Experts ; say w ought to have half a millioru1' "We should increase our regular army by 100,000 men, 25,000 for our dependencies and 75,000 at home.

"The national deficit in June was $75,000,000. This means we must sub mit to a tax. We must be willing to carry this burden for a time. We have been too smug. We must agi tate ourselves and tell congress we will stand the burden. "It is needless to say that it is un popular to Increase taxation, but it is not for the purpose of waging a war of aggression, to be ready, if need be, to defend our national honor." Mr. Taft's speech was the last of a series given at the breakfast. He sat through the others', listening smilingly and intently to the words of praise that were uttered by the other speak ers. When he was called upon by Toastmaster P. E. Sullivan he smiled more broadly than ever and said he had heard these overgenerous words at first with a feeling of gratifica tion. Then came the disturbing thought that brought to mind the Latin motto, "Nihil de Mortuis nisi bonum," which daily in popularity there's nothing like them at the price . .

After the laughter, had subsided at this sally, he touched complimentary wise upon his three previous visits to Portland and the efforts he had made to see Mount Hood. Only once, under the pilotage of Jonathan Bourne, he said, he had pointed out to him what Bourne told him were the lineaments of that mountain. But it was so hazy that he 'couldn't be sure. "The people of Portland should be happy to live here and know that for three months of the year they have this mountain in view." He referred pleasantly to the pres ence of Governor Withycombe, a Re publican, and Senators Lane and Chamberlain, Democrats. He said he was glad the senators were present, though not particularly glad they were Democrats. Ex-Senator Fulton, however, and Governor Gillette of Wyoming, who were also present, made him feel better because of the "sympathetic classification.'' ' "You have had a glorious summer," added Mr. Taft. "Not only have you had the flow of the Columbia to the sea, but you have had a flow of oratory, beginning with an ex-president, carried on through an ex-secretary of state and now here am I. You have been well instructed on this coast" acme. Jomelli Stirs With Song. Mme. Jeanne Jomelli electrified the roomful of diners by singing "The Star Spangled Banner," while every man in the room stood. She waved a silk flag as she started on the thrill ing chorus and the tumultuous ap plause that . followed called her to re peat the selection. Governor Withycombe, in a few words, welcomed the ex-presideht to Oregon and Edgar B. Piper lauded Mr. Taft in a speech on x-Presidents." He said the duty of the ex-president should be at all times to contribute his wise counsel and his experience to his nation, to stand by the ad ministration that succeeds him. to go out of his way to indorse its acts if he can do so and to say nothing if he cannot indorse it. John F. Carroll, discussing "Peace," saw in the unpopularity of the six shooter and the abandonment of per sonal fisticuffs harbingers of world peace. "War of 1912" S7iewtd. B. F. Irvine referred to the "War of 1912". as a colossal instance of unpreparedness. He said that the great contestants in that battle were almost wholly without ammunition, save for two tanks of poisonous gasts. Referring to the Chicago con vention, he said the one army had taken its stand at Armageddon while the other had fought on. Closing, Mr. Irvine paid an elo quent tribute to Mr. Taft. declaring he had emerged from the conflict and all that followed it, triumphantly, magnificently, resplendently, and has given this country an example of what an ex-president ought to be. At the close of the breakfast, which was concluded after 3 o'clock, Mr. Taft was taken for a ride over the Columbia river highway.

Hood River. Or., Aug. 23. W. H. Taft, ex-president of the United States, while en route to Portland, was met at the train at Hood River Sunday morning by about 300 citizens and was engaged in an Informal talk with the men and women who gathered to greet him. W. L. Smith of this city pre sented Mr. Taft with a box of Hood River peaches, weighing one pound each and about 10 inches in circumference- A When asked what,ffie thought of this country along the Columbia river basin he stated that it was the finest in the world and that the locks at Celilo Falls was a great piece of engineering and should give the states of Oregon and Washington great relief from excessive freight rates. You are a great people out here and you admit it," shouted the ex-president," but how do you make things grow on these high mountains and big hills. One of the . citizens shouted: "We would like to vote for you again for president." "Don't wish me such bad luck," responded Mr. Taft. When the train pulled out he shouted to Hon. E. L. Smith, whose and he had held for several minutes, "Don't forget to be a good Republican or you may fall by the wayside." ELEVEN GERMAN ' SHIPS ARE SUNK IN BIG SEA FIGHT Continued From' Page Ore) three cruisers and seven torpedo boats of the enemy were sunk by the Russian fleet, according to Rodzianko's an nouncement. In confirming- his statement today, the admiralty said: "A British submarine sank one of the best German dreadnaughts in the battle in the Gulf of Riga." Regarded as Answer to Prayer., The sinking of the Moltke and other German warships was regarded by Russians as in answer to their prayers for victory of a week ago. At that time, thousands prayed for success when Czar Nicholas called Mpon his people to seek divine aid. With the news of the victory m the Gulf of Riga, word also was received from the war office that Field Marshal von "HindenbUrg's attempt to turn the Russian flank in Poland had been halt ed. The German land forces on the northern end of the great tbattle line, are being shown the most' desperate, resistance, it was announced, ,--iid the advance of the enemy has been checked. Newspapers today headed their stories of the Riga battle as "A Great German Rout." They demanded to know whether, the German papers wili now continue to , talk . of a separate "peace with Russia. The greatest ela tion was evident as a result of the de feat of the German squadron and a statement from Foreign Minister Sa zonoff to the newspapers declaring' there was no prospect of Germany suc ceeding in arranging a separate peace with any of the allied powers was .widely published. This statement said: Separata Peace Rejected, "The rumors .of separate peace are due to repeated overtures made to France and Russia by Germany. They have been totally rejected. The at tempt to sow discord among the allies Is predestined to failure." . . Military critics today expressed the belief that the crushing defeat suf fered by the Germans in the Riga bat tle will end the-attempt of the enemy to land troops there.'. . j In announcing1 the naval victory in the duroa. President . EodxIiiko de clared an attempt was rpade to send troops ashore during the battle. Four barges loaded with soldiers took part In the descent upon the Russian coast. They were met "by Slav infantry and exterminated without the aid of ar tillery. The barges were captured. The Moltke was a sister ship of the battle cruiser Goeben, transferred to Turkey by Germany at the outbreak of the war, and was one of the strongest fast-steaming vessels afloat. Her ar mament included 10 11-inch guns, 12 6-inch guns and 12 24-pounders, as well as four torpedo tubes. She dis placed 23,000 tons, was 590 feet long with a beam of 96-feet. She cost $11, 000,000 and had engines of 70,000 horse power which drove her at better than 28 knots when she was making her best, though her normal maximum speed was probably 25 knots. She was launched in 1910 and was notable for an entire absence of wooden fittings, there being no pictures, chairs or set tees even in the wardroom". The gunboa Vivouch of the Russian navy is classed by Jane' as a despatch vessel. She was launched in 1907 and displaced 970 tons, carrying 170 men. Her guns were small, consisting of 2 4.7-inch, 4 12-pounders and 3 machine guns. Her 800 horsepower gave her a speed of 12 knots.
