~ ESEARCHES by the Rev. Paul Sturte-
TX want Howe PHI D.. have just brought
TO light a lost colony of Mayfiower
descendants in Cape May county New Jer-
sey. The surprising feature of DR.. Howe's
investigation is that not even in Plymouth
Mass where the Pilgrims landed are there
so many Mayiower descendants as in Cape
May county. which was first settled by
whalemen from New England This settle
ment was on the Delaware Bay side of the
county and near the historic resort which
bears the name of the county.
DR. Howe is a past chaplain-g general of
the Order Of Founders and Patriots of Amer
lea and is a member of the Pennsylvania
Society of Maynower Descendants, Sons Of
the Revolution and other patriotic organiza-
tions. His investigation into the Mayhower
descendants in Cape May county was begun
two years ago. when he took charge of a
Protestant Episcopal parish there.
To his astonishment, he found that in his
own Mayfower descent he was distantly re-
lated to some of the old Cape May families,
and he soon discovered that he could trace
the ancestry Of 1900 persons in the county
back to the Pilgrims.
DR.. Howe then decided to prepare and
publish a genealogi, Al record. and the book,
entitled "Mayfiower Descendants In Cape
May County" is jus going TO press.
Some 1900 living Mayhower descendants"
says DR.. Howe. "are included in the list OF
name. in the book, and as many more are
included among the grandchildren and chill
dren Of descendants whose records are not
complete through lack OF information in the
later generations. The genealogical works
Of the Rev. Dr. Daniel L. Hughes Of Belle
fonte Pa and the late Major Charles Welsh
Edmunds OF Philadelphla-both OF Cape May
origin-have thrown some light on the May
flower lines in Cape May county, though
neither writer was aware Of Pilgrim descent.
This shows how completely was all track
lost of the Maynower descendants In the
county
THE discovery OF tho Vast Book OF Col
John Gorham, written In i745 brought to
light the long forgotten facts OF the Pilgrim
ancestry OF Cape May families and gives
the county the record OF being the residence
OF the largest settlement OF Atayiower de-
scendants in the world so far as is known.
Almost all OF the old families OF the county
are descended from three OF the Mayfiower
passengers. The principal progenitor was
John Rowland. the Pilgrim. whose grand
daughter Hannah Gorham. came to Cape
May as arly 1890 and raised a large
family there"

1.-THE peace treaty proper" was the prompt
response; 1.-The treaty of Versailles. There

work as we had dreamed 1t should, but the

brought into the world-vindictive naturally

Now do you get my point? In word IL
is that every American lover OF democracy
and liberal ideas-now that have had
time enough TO see just how the so-called
European statesmen proposed TO apply the
Versailles treaty and how they are now
playing politics without regard to the real
desires and the honest opinion OF the liberal
democratic masses OF Europe-should set
himself firmly against the ratification of the
