Says Time for Parleying on Submarine Question is Over and Stern Note Needed. Tho Hon. John Shun? Williams. United S'atcH senabT from Mississippi, upheld Prest Wilson'. policy f irfp.irel n-s last r.inht in nn address made before the incni'.ns of tho Knife and Fork club. II'strong! ndvoi ated the establishment of a powerful and formidable navy anj hebl that the army was wtoiiJary in importance to th navy when it came to the matter of national defense-. Se n. Williams together it h ExPres't William Howard Taft and the lion, Wood bridge N. Ferris, governor of Mi higan. were the distingui.shel Speaker; of the veiling. The attend:! net at the. banq.ut was upwards ,f "00 nnl tin..- largest affair of Its kind vir given by the Knife and Fork !u!i in the eight years' history of the org mization. Frank 11. Hering presided as toastmaster. Sajs Navy lirst. "I believe that c cry dollar spent for the nialntinanc; and equipment of a largo standing army is a dollar lost to tho navy," said Sen. Williams. T believe in a- large navy that is the lirf-t line of defense. I also think that land officers thoroughly equipped for military service and efficient at diilliiis' and making soldiers in times of sttass houhi bo trained at West I'oint." Sen. William's addr s.s dwelt mostly with the subject of preparedne.-s although the subject of his talk v;im, "our Foreign Kelat ions." In cumr.ectton with that he talked upon the existing feeling between Austria and Ihe Fnited States as a result of the submarining of the Ancona. Profits ly E'i iencc. "Pres't Wilson ha been accused nf being1 drastic in the Inst note sent to Austria and that it was couched In strong and perhaps undiplomatic lan;uae. Tho president once before had an experience with that sott of thing. Fpon the sinking of a vessel that cost the lies of many Americans by Germany a note wa. dispatched to that country. While Germany was studying oer the problem and before any definite conclusions had been iea hed, two ships were sunk whiL they were still talking about the .sinking of the first. "Austria was well aware of the German situation. She well knew the sentiment of this country. We are talking about national honor in :hat note, talking about the rights of numan lives, which must bo respected." "When it comes to the matter of merchandise, which is reckoned in Jollars and cent, and interferences with American rights, that is a different matter. Tho policy of peace, ihich has been so forcibly advocated ami followed by the president .8 one that such continue to be followed excer. when it comes to the polnl of rational honor. Disputes lbout 7.' -r. liandise can be postponed until :.!:. :'-e cooler, when tho nations Hi" i iiot engaged in the heat of war and destruction. It is peace It any price that we must have, except at .t naciitiee of national independence, disintegration of national territory, or a t-acritiee of national honor which means st If r sped." Ttti Ilflevts May Follow. "Should Austria fait to take heed nf the lalest American note, and Jiplomatic relations sered. it would aave one of twu effects: lather the practice of submarining would tease or a repetition wmilil opon hostilities, and our cruisers would go forth f r i' ... . ,

searching out for destruction every pcriscoi...-? on a submarine. " Sen. Williams in opening his speech expressed the hope that some day there would be a high court of nations which would sit on International affairs. "It is far better to submit to an unjust decision, than it is to have no decision at all, which l'-als to the human instinct of combativeness," he said. Speaks on Power of Insiricrit. Although the subject of former Prcs't Taft's address on "The Presidency" Indicated that the speaker might deal with the coming prsidentlal election, he confined his remarks solely to the powers and duties of the president. He started out well, but his voice, still husky from the effects of the recent attack of la grippe, forced him to conclude his remarks rather abruptly. He left last night at 10.2 for Chicago to catch a train for Allenstown, Pa., where he has a speaking engagement today. He said in part: "It is a question that han never really been decided, this proposition as to how great is the power of tho president. The minor powers of the president are many. There Is the cabinet which assists him In deciding matters of importance. The cabinet is not mentioned in the constitution nor In any of the statutes. Cabinet meetings are never a matter of record. The members sit about the cabinet table in the order of the long established rule, and the meetings are very informal. Not a .Matter of Rcx-oril. "The executive olfice is not a matter of record. After, the president leaves the white house, he takes with him every bit of correspondence. The only correspondence that remains is that which olticially is handled through, the various departments and then the seal of the department is attached to attest the president's signature. "Commissions are attested by the secretary of state, but it is the president's duty to sign all commissions. This perhaps his greatest manual labor," added the ex-president naively, "unless it he playing golf. "One thinff which perhaps has been of mure concern chiefly of late is what limitations are imposed on the president. Mr. Itoosevelt in making some notes, possibly for an autobiography, held that the powers of the president were unlimited except those which the law specifically prohibited. He named two classes of presidents who took certain power upon themselves, the Lincoln and Uuchanan classes. It may be of interest to know of the fruitful, striking and helping manner in vhich he placed himself in the tirst class and me in the second. Came to Conclusion. "It is like the little girl who came homo from school and told her father that she was the best scholar in the class. " 'Did the teacher tell you that this afternoon', asked the father? " 'Oh, no. I just came to that conclusion', responded the girl." It was shortly after ihis. when the ex-president had recited tho manner in which the policy of writing messages to congress began and of the present incumbent of the white house Changing this custom back, that his voice gave way. Approves Wilson Method. "I believe that Mr. Wilson's policy of reading messages to congress is a good thing," said Mr. Taft. "It invites the attention of the people' tipon what the president is saying, which in turn naturally invites the attention of congress." Gov. Ferris' address was along philosophic lines, his subject being "What Makes the Wheel go Round." The governor from Michigan dwelt with the Impulses that govern the acts of individuals. "It is the control of these reflexes, these innate tendencies, these impulsive Instincts, these stimulae, that appeals to the best and noble in men." Gov.- Ferris spoke of the advisability of placing works of art in public places, as a mind betterment idea, of playgrounds for amusement, directed and supervised, rather than trusting to over-intelligence for di

Send Wire to Singly. A telegram to Sen. P. F. Shively in Washington expressing the regret of the Knife and Fork club at his being unable to be present, was sent. It was en. Shively who invited Sn. Williams to be present, and it wa expected that the Indiana senator would be one of the speakers of the evening. The telegram read: "Hon Ii. F. Shively, "Washington. D. C.
