APPEAL FOR PEACE MADE ID RO7ARIANS
Douglass Would Put Warlike
 Diplomats Against Wall

Modern battleships would be as much out of place in another war as Henry f'ord's first automoblle would be on the highways of New England, according to Gaylord Douglass, of Springfield, New Eng land secretary of the National Coun- cil for the prevention of war, speaking to the members of the New Britain Rotary club at the Burritt hotel today
 Calling attention to the sixth oh- ject of Rotary. as defined at the last international convention at Dallas, Texas, that of international good will and peace, MT. Douglass said Some Rotarians think Ill there is to Rotary is a luncheon and littl- singing"
 He commented upon Rotary ruling against the discussion oi political subjects in club meetings and added that "World peace and steps toward world peace are far above the horizon of politics. al though some political dabblers do get in and mess things up some- times.'

it is just a place for fair and frank discussion.
 There are no more secret treaties. All treaties are sent 10 the secretary of the league where they are filed and copies sent 10 all other nations for publication. This method would not have suited Bis marck. Tallyrand or those other fellows.
 "Thore is an utter misunder- standing in the minds of most peo- 1 pie about the league of nations and the world court The average man doesn't know the meaning of the l Kellogg -Briand pact. It was that pact that kept Russia and China apart for the past six months. We wore a little late in calling their attention to it. hut the pact held and they didn't fight.
 "l'nder the terms of this pact 55 nations have pledged themselves to rcnounce war and settle disputes i by pacific means.
 The Washington conference for the limitation of armaments dealt l with battleships only. It did not . take up the question of limitation Of cruises, so every body has been ! building cruisers ever since.
 Submarine Question
 "The United States and Great Britain would like to do away with the use of submarines. They feel they are not humanc. Italy and France say they heed them for pro- lection. They say they are the poor mans unit. Airplane carriers are only huge floating targets for some- body to shoot at We have 2S7 de- stroyers of which 1CO are no good. We could spare that 100 and never miss them.
 You read about 750,0O0 German people being starved by the British blockade in the Ntrth Sea but you starved in Great Bli;ain because of submarines.
 "The battleship is as much out of place as Henry Ford's first automo, bile would be on the highways of New England. IL cant go as fast as a cruiser, but it is q target fol cruisers, submarines, airplanes and every other fighting machine on the water.
 Admiral Sims says in case Of an other war the only thing for the American battle5hips to do is to gc up the Mississippi river and stay there out of danger until the war is over. The Cleveland Plain Dealer the Chicago Daily News and the Detroit Free Press have carried strong editorials advocating the abolishment of hLttleships We have , IS battleships which cost 40 million dollars each year for maintc- nance alone. Their replacement cost is 50 million. It would be better to take that money and put it on the Mississippi instead of on it."

 IN SCHOOL CHARGE
Court Rules Chicago Official
 Illegally OuSte1

Chicago, Dec. 19 (P}-For nearly two years, William McAndrew had sought to disprovc charges that re suited in his custer in January, 1928, as superintendent of schools, and yesterday he was Vindicated in superior court.
 Mayor William Hale Thompson made one of these charges in the turbulent school squabble in the late summer of 1927-that the text books used in the Chicago schools were "pro-British.
 AS to this charge. the court said nothing. for it declined to examine the 70 or so books offered in evil dence. Judge Hugo Pam decided the subject on two principal points, first, was McAndrcw insubordinate? and second, was he given due legal mo- tice of the charges?
 The decision answered both in the negative and granted a writ that wrote "void' on the custer and auashed all records of the case.

Myron T. Herrick

Myron 7. Herrick is dead. He had been ambasSa-
dor to France II years. He was the American idol Of
the people of France. He was at the court Of Paris
when the World war began. He was there when
death called him at the age Of IS.
Is this the age of opportunity?
If one doubts it read the biography Of the dead
dinlomat. He was born on an Ohio farm in humble
surroundings. He started his business career selling
dinner bells and lightning rods. He became, success
lively, a lawyer. a statesman and one Of the foremost
ambassadors abroad Of the period in which he lived
He had been a great governor of Ohio, he had
been a maker of presidents, he had refused offers of
cabinet posts, he had been a success in every field Of
endeavor which he invaded or where he was called
and his name was a household word long years be-
fore death terminated the brilliant career and Off
cial record of the man who first saw the light on a
little farm in Ohio and who had mounted every rung
If the ladder to the positions to which he had aspired.
This is the land of opportunity. There is no land
like ours. There is no flag like ours. Under its folds
tha accident Of birth has nothing to do with the case.
And he who dares and battles climbs the Alpine
heights.
