Country Forest Covered.
''The Wabash country was forest
covered and agriculture had to wait
on the ak and the mattock. Whole
generations wore out their lives clear
ing the land while the prairies re.
manned public land which the Gov
ernment could not sell at any price.
Those North Carolina Quakers were
like many other immigrants from the
South who sought the timber and
stunned the praries because they had
been accustomed to consider timber
lands the best farm lands, and they
looked upon the praries as they had
upon the swamp lands in the South.
So they went into the timber, and. by
herculean labor CHOPPED and grubbed

of their faces.

Butler Explains Keynote.

President Butler. commenting on the
proposed treaty, said that it's keynote
was that it adopts and applies to ex-
listing conditions here the principles
of the agreements of Locarno, but
makes no attempt to extend existing
treaty provisions for compulsory arbi
tration or to bring about the compul-
sorry settlement of international dis.
putes in any other forms.
1T simply and briefly provides that
the lgnatories renounce war between
themselves as an instrument of public
policy" President Butler said, adding
that the proposed treaty was made
public in anticipation of action by our
Government next Winter"

The draft Is of model treaty or

the United States and the first-power
nations of the world and providing for
arbitration and conciliatory disputes.
1t is the second treaty that has been

Proposals for treaty between the
United States and France by which
the signatories would renounce war be-
tween themselves as an instrument of
public policy nave attracted interest
on both sides of the Atlantic, although
the subject so far has reached no Off
Cia status.
The apparently tagging enthusiasm
during the past 10 years for stringent
steps to enforce peace by international
compactS was regarded here as having
been revived materially by the care
fully worded overture of Foreign Min
lister BRAND of France on April s, and
the resulting manifestations in con-
crete Franco American peace pacts
proposed by the American peace
award and by Prof James T. ShotWell
of Columbia University.
There is at this time no indication
that either of the suggestions will in
spire diplomatic conversations between
Paris and Washington, but so far as
the American Capital is concerned
there was reason to believe the sub
ieCt would receive serious considera-
ton This view is strengthened by
the Surenes speech of Ambassador
HerriCk, in which the American envoy
to France said the investigation
toward enforcing peace goes on in
the noblcst spirit, as evidenced by

Anticipates Action.
The Shotwell peace pact was de-
clared by President Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia University, who
indorsed his professors plan, to have
been made public in anticipation of
action by our Government next Win
ter"
Briefly the Shotwell pact would bind
the United States and France to re-
frain from war between themselves
and to the submission of any differ
ences to arbitration or conciliation,
While it would in no way hinder the
United States in the exercise of self
defense or in the pursuance of mill
tary settling of differences arising out
of the Monroe Doctrine, this country
would pledge itself to "use it's best
endeavors to secure the submission to
arbitration and conciliation' in case
of dispute between an American and
a on-American power.
Domestic Problems Exempted.
The treaty would not affect purely
domestic problems as classified under
international law, which is to say that
one of the leading American Asiatic
problems-that of immigration-woul
not have to be taken to arbitration
unless at some future time the sub
ject passes from a domestic to an in.

to resort to arbitration. the treaty
