TAFT DISCUSSES PEACE, 'rel!s Purpose of Meeting in Philadel- phia Next Week. ‘Wellesley, Mass.,, June 16.—Pros- pects of a permanent peace were dis- cussed by former President Willlam .~ Taft at the commencement exer- cises of Wellesley college at which 294 ‘seniors received their degrees yesterday. Speaking particularly of a peace meeting to be held next week ! in Philadelphia, Mr. Taft said it was called for the purpose of finding some means to make war less profitable. It was not called, he said, for the purpose of trying to end the present war, but of discussing an internation- al treaty which may be fnade at the conclusion of hostilities. ‘““A great many people object to the policy of the one hundred men who are going to meet in Philadelphia next week,” he continued, “but I feel that if we can give the peace party, which always exists in every country, a practical means of settlement with- out blood, we shall have gons far to- ward lnternn.uonal peace.” THIRD FIRE IN WEEK. In Canadian Government's Ammunis tion Plant at Quebec. Quebec, June 16.—Fire, the third within a week, was discovered late yesterday in the Dominion’s ammuni- tion plant here.

Bryan Says We Will Have Oppor- tunity to Pacify Warring Nations ‘Washington, - June 16.—Former See¢retary Bryan, in the first section of his statement on “The causeless war,” today . prophesied that the 8reatest peace-making opportunity in all history. was certain to come to the United States and declared there would be a demand for an interna- tional conference, with the return of Peace, to change the rules of inter- national law, which ‘seem to have been made for the nations at war rather than for the nations at peace” ‘“Under the stress and strain of the titanic strunlé in which . they are engaged,” Mr. Bryan's statement says, “each side has felt itself justi- fied in encroachirig upon the rights of neutrals. < The ocean highways, the common property of all, have been to some extent appropriated for war burposes, and delicate diplomatic questions are forced upon thé neu- tral nations. U. 8. Must Set Example. {Just at this time, wheén these | questions are most acute, the belli- gerent governmentes are least able to deal with them with the calmness and Doise which their great impertance demands. © No wonder every neutral nation is increasingly anxious for the war to end; but of all the neutral nations ours has the most reason to pray for the return. of peace—most reason to set its face resolutely against participation in its war This nation, the head éf thé neutral group and the sincere friend of all the billi- gerents, is in duty bound to set an €xample in patience and self-re- atraint. “In all history no such opportuni- ty has ever come to any other na- tion as that whieh Is destined to come to the United States. In all history no other peace-maker 'has ever been in position to claim as rich a blessing as that which will be pronounced upeon our président when the time for mediation comes—as come it must.” Describes Horrors or ‘War. Introducing his statement Mr. Bryan graphically describes the horrors and afflictons of the war, and snys: ‘“Neutral natiens cannot look on with indifference—the ties that bind them together are too - strong, the relationship too intimate. This is especially true of the United States. We have a composite population— every nation of Europe having con- tributed liberally to our citizenship. These, our contrymen, themselves, born abroad or immediately descended from foreign-born ancestors, .cannot but take a lively interest m the ecen- duct as well as in the resulfs of the war, and a still larger ciricle sharcs the concern of those directly 'con- nected. Not a soldier falls on ither side but the sorrow expressed in his home finds an echp u.t, some fireside in the United States.” Aside from sentimental considera- tion, Mr. Bryan asserts, meutral na- tiens suffer serious distrbance because | Gérmany, which was held to be legi- of the war. New Domestic Problem. “Nearly every neutral nation finds new domestic problems thrust upon it | countries opposed to Germany will re- and old problems made: more 'diffi- cult,” the statement declares. “No American citizén can deép concern the manner In ' which war questions have intruded ' them- selves into our politics—overshadow- ing economic issues, ana stimulating | Paign. agitation in favor of enlarged appro- priations for militatry and naval pur- poses.” At some length Mr. Bryan refers to Monday, especially the interruptions to neutral commerce, de- rangement of business ana econsequent Americans, Professor Otto Hobtszech readjustments, and speaks of scarcity pf American ships as one of Breatest embarrassments to United States. Great Expense for Neutrals, the “The neutral nations are. put to a | rendering the tension between Ger- | great expense to preserve neutrality and are consequently in danger of | acute by the publication of beéing embroiled in the war without intention or fault on their own part,’” he declared. *“The rules of interna- tional law seem to have veen made | zeiger, for the nations at war, rather than for | side to the question of the shipment It is almost | of American arms to the allies. This impossible to alter these rules during | newspaper réfers to Germany’s op- the nations at peace. the war, because any material change, affecting as it would tne interests of the belligerénts, would be a seeming violation of neutrality. ““As soon as peace returns, there will be a demand for an international conference on the subject. The pre- sumption should then be givén to peace, for peace, not war, is the normal condition. If nations are de- termined to fight, they should, as far as possible, bear the Yurden them- selves,. and not be permitted to trans- fer it to the nations which avoid war by resorting to reason instead of force.” s B R ISR SRON LEAVE MINERS FEDERATION Butte Union Olaims it Has Given $1,000,000 and Received no Benefit, Butte, Mont.,, June 16.—Alleging that in the tweénty years of its affil- iation with the Western Federation of.

Los Angeles, Cal., June. 16.—Reports of officers and delegates were the prin- cipal subjects for discuyssion at the opening of the eight annual meéting of the National Assembly of Civil Ser- vice Commissioners which began here téday.

He then demanded | that Dr. Henderson give the assem- bied physicians the benerit of his krowledge.

Count Ernst von Reventlow, the naval expert of the same paper, re- turrls this morning to the attack upon the article’ of Bugene Zimmerman, general director of the Lokal Anzei- ger, in faver of efforts toward a Ger- man-American- understanding. “In an article headed - “German Propaganda for deliverie of weapons to Germany's enemies, “Gount von Reven'tiow says the di by.
