MANY YEARS AGO; BOOSTS
KEY WEST AT EVERY oP.
PoRTUNITY

Rev. A. L. Maureau, S. j., of
the st. Mary's Star of the Sea
Catholic church, Key West, re-
turned to this city yesterday
from New Orleans, his native
city, where he met his classmate s
of fifty years ago, and pupils OF
twenty-five years ago.
While in New Orleans, Rev.
Maureau, who is ever anxious to
impart any information concern
ing Key West, praised the Island
City to the members of the Cham
Der of Commerce of that city. and
all others with whom he came in
contact.
As the commerce body of New
Orleans was seeking knowledge
of many things relative to Key
West, in order that the inforn1a-
tion may be given to northern
tourists and others from differ.
ent parts of the country, who
were calling for this information
Rev. Maureau answered all ques-
tons propounded insofar as his
knowledge of conditions permit
ted.
Upon his return here, one OF
his first visits was to S. G. Single
ton, secretary of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce, to whom
he furnished many addresses oil
persons who have become inter.
ested in Key West, with the idea
of having Mr.. Singleton get in
touch with them, and furnish
whatever information that is de
sired.
Rev. Maureau visited many 9th
er sections, which were included
in his itinerary, and stated thai
/ crowds of tourists from the norti
were pouring into Atlanta, Tampa
and other cities, many Of whom

THIRTY ABSENTEE
VOTES ARE CAST
ACTIVITIES BEGAN YESTER-
DAY IN CITY CLERKS
OFFICE

Absentee balloting in the city
does not bid fair to reach the
number reached in the county
election of last year, nor is it be-
lieved the number will come near
it. City Clerk Wallace Pinaer is
of the opinion that not more than
80 absentee ballots will be cast.
Yesterday morning when the
books were declared open and the
ballots were ready, quite a few
ballots were cast and by after
noon, when the books were closed,
there had been "a ballots regis
tered.
This afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
Mr.. Piu1er said that up to that
hour six absentee votes had been
cast which makes a total of 80
votes for the two days.

several days in the hospital and
was then taken to his home where

An interesting meeting of
Troop S, Boy Scouts was held last
evening in the rooms at Wesley
House. Owing to a change in
the time of opening the meetings
during the fall and winter season,
2 o'clock instead of 1880, only a
few were present at the assembly
hour.
However, before the meeting
was well under way the crowd
had increased and by the time
the former regular hour was
reached there were 18 present.
The meeting was opened by
Billy Pinder who read the 23rd
Psalm, which was followed by the
Lopd's Prayer. The scout oath
and motto was recited.
Patrol reports were received
and evidenced earnest efforts on
part of the boys, to accomplish
the plans they have formulated
and bring into being a number Of
activities which win reflect great
credit on the troop.
Bob Pittman resigned as patrol
leader, as he has been proffered
the position of quartermaster,
and accepted. Joe Campo was APP

And where does this confused
situation leave President Roose-
welt in his announced desire to
fashion an American foreign pol
| icy with peace as its keystone?
Treaties Broken
First of all Roosevelt was in
Wilson's cabinet as an assistant
secretary of the navy. He says
himself that he learned in Wilson's
troubled day some of the things to
do, and other things mot to do"
He knows:
II. America did not save the world
for democracy even though she
entered the World war to at
! tain that ideal.
l2. The League of Nations, as now
set up. may be a moral force
for peace, but it definitely has
failed to stop powerful states
bent on getting what they want
| by force.
i3. No important peace treaties
since the World war-the Kel-
/ logg-Briand pact, the Nine
Power pact, the Four-Power
Pacific treaty, Locarno-has
yet prevented some of the
nations that signed them from
taking up arms against each
other.
a. Most postwar international
conferences have failed to put
the worlds political and eco
/ nomieal machinery in a sane
balance.
5. The Versailles peace treaty
| ending the World war did not
alter human nature; it merely
redrew the world map, and
| some impartial observers think
it is a breeder of war.
IS. A revised Monroe doctrine
which puts all American re.

ia. The "open door" for trade in

may not be open the next time

Moral Boycott

turned to a new instrument

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-shut
your eyes on the international din
of the moment, turn back the
clock twenty-odd years, and you
glimpse Woodrow Wilson trying
to assert Americas rights in the
community of nations without
taking sides in a war.
Everybody knows now that he
failed in that effort, and America
moved inevitably into the world
conflict.
But the same broad question
that faced Wilson in 1914 faces
Roosevelt today:
How can America remain at
peace?
Nobody can answer that ques-
ton, of course, but there are
similarities and differences in
the world situation in 1914 and
in 1887 that will help Roosevelt
share course for the United
States.
Today the big powers of the
world are rapidly rearming them
selves with new and terrible ma
chimes of war, just as they were
in 1914. In those days the ma
tions were just beginning to prac-
tice with the comparatively new
machine-gun, airplane, zeppelin
and submarine. Today they're ex-
perimenting with refined samples
of the same things-"flying for
tresses," ''pocket battleships," and
motorized armies"
Stage Differently Set
And then, as now the President
was forced to divert his attention
frequently from the domestic poll
teal scene-a scene in which he
preferred to operate. Wilson
preached the new freedom"
Roosevelt upholds the New Deal. +"
In 1914, the Balkan war wa
freshly recorded on the pages OF
history-a sinister prelude OF
what was to come. What can be
said today of the conquest OF
Ethiopia, the Spanish civil war
and the Sino-Japanese warfare in
the Orient?
Again nobody knows the an.
swer. As a matter Of fact, wher
we ask that question we come to
the end Of possible sirnilarities
between turbulent 1914 and
equally disturbed 1887.
The common props on the in.
ternational stage in 1914 were i'm.
perial governments, the delicate
balance Of power between the
central powers and the entente Of
Europe. the sopen door il
China, the Monroe doctrine in thu
Americas. and 80 on, much as Il
was in Queen vietoria's era.
