TAFI ADVISES
PEOPLE BE CALM
Calls Upon the People To Stick To
Wilson and Allow the Adminis
tration a Free Hand.
•
PHILADELPHIA, May 12—Ex
President W. H. Taft, in a speech
here last night, called upon the peo
ple of the United States to remain
calm and to aid the president and
the administration in its efforts to
rilot the Ship of State through the
troubled waters of the present war.
"Stick to President Wilson” was
the keynote of his address, and he
urged all thinking people to remem
ber that President Wilson would do
all in his power to uphold the honor
of the United States, while, at the
same time he would only resort to
war when every other means at his
command had been exhausted.
The papers of this city claim edi
torially that President Taft’s address
was a masterly oration, tempered
with goon sense and showing a keen
desire to uphold the administration
and the government and prevent an
unnecessary war.

TEDDY RULES
WILSON POLICY
Scornfully Derides Wilson's Statement
That U. S. Should Be Too
Proud To Fight.
SYRACUSE, N. Y„ May 12.—Ex
President Theodore Roosevelt scorn
fully derides the Wilson foreign pol
icy of peace and states that the
statement made by President Wilson
that the United States should be too
proud to wage a war is nonsense.
Roosevelt cites the predicament of
China as a condition that follows
a love of peace and a lack of pre
paredness to meet foreign aggression.
Roosevelt insists that unless the
United States calls a halt to German
aggression and the failure of the kai
ser’s military and naval officers to
respect American rights that the ag
gression will continue indefinitely
and that other nations, believing we
are afraid of war, will follow the ex
ample of the German nation.
RIGGS BANK CASE
IS POSTPONED
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The case
of the Riggs National Bank against
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and Comptroller of the Currency Wil
liams, has been postponed to next
Monday, the government’s attorneys
asserting that they were not prepared
to have the case tried at this time.

the Ypres district continues and the
charge and counter charges have cost
thousands of lives on both sides.
The Germans are again using asphyx
iating shells but the effect is less
terrible than that of the tubes of
liquid compressed air, which do ter
rific damage.
Anion the German shells which had
not exploded some have been found
to have fuses of aluminum instead
of brass. The German artillery fire
has slackened considerably jin the
later stages. The gunners have used,
so many shells during the last few
days that they are temporarily short.

TEDDY TO ROAST
TOE GERMANS
Has Written a Firey Article Demand
ing Action By Wilson Against
the Kaiser.
NEW YORK, May 12—The Jun3
issue of the Metropolitan will con
tain a long article by ex-President
Roosevelt demanding immediate ac
tion against the Germans for sinking
the Lusitania and other violations of
American neutrality and treaty rights
which he will claim indicates a de
sire to belittle the republic.
The article has been widely adver
tised and the people are awaiting
with interest its appearance. Many
friends of the administration "de
nounce Roosevelt for failing at this
time to put his shoulder to the wheel
and help the president to avoid for
eign complications, instead of which
he is trying to force the administra
tion to declare war without first pre
senting the demands of the American
republic to the German government.
It is feared that Roosevelt will so
inflame popular opinion as to bring
about a war, which the administra
tion is striving, by every honorable
means at its command, to avert.
Roosevelt will urge as the first act
of the administration the stopping of
all commerce with Germany directly
or through neutral ports. Also the
aiding of the Allies by advancing
large sums of money and munitions
so that the war may be brought to
a speedy conclusion.
Donald McDonald, who was topog
rapher with Henry Deyo last season,
was a through passenger to Anch
orage on the Mariposa this morning.
He will be employed by the Alaska
engineering commission upon his ar
rival there.
The Valdez school board will meet
this evening at the city hall to elect
teachers for the coming year. Sev
enty-five applicants have applied for
the positions, most of the applica
tions, however, being from the out
side. It is expected a few of them
will be disappointed as the board in
tends to employ only five teachers.
Robert Kelsey, of the Valdez Dock
company, will leave on the steamer
Mariposa for Seattle to spend a few
weeks in the Spirit City.
