feverishly prepare. Today, talk OF
neutrals' rights, Of barring barbar-
Gus practices in war, of adhering to
a treaty after it HIS become dis
advantage to do so-such things are
shrugged aside as "unrealistic.
But before the World War such
things were no joke to thoughtful
people. Peace sentiment, and work.
able machinery for adjusting dis
putes between nations, had made
progress.
In 1914 the Senate ratified Is Of
20 treaties negotiated by Secretary
Bryan for peacefully settling dis
putes. War with Mexico after the
Vera Cruz affair seemed inevitable.
But Argentina, Brazil and Chile
mediated a settlement at Niagara
Falls.
A Universal Peace Congress had
been planned in Vienna in Septem-
Der, 1914. The war killed it.
PROGRESS
va - A&AOA
Peace conferences at The Hague
had been so successful that perfect
ly sensible people believed protec-
ton of -combatants and neu-
trails, outlawry Of dumIdum bullets
and poison gas, had been accom-
plished. They felt sure that work.
able machinery had, been set up for
peaceful adjustment of differences,
or at least to confine war within
narrow limits.
What the World Wa and later
wars have done to these accom-
plishments" needs no comment.
After the World War, the peace
movement took new hope. Among
Wilson'S Fourteen Points were: l.
Open diplomacy. 2. A just realign-
ment of Europe's borders and OF
colonies. 8. A genera association
of nations" to guarantee political
and territorial independence for
great and small states alike.
A mere reading of the words tells
what happened to that dream.
The peace treaty was not made
in the open. Many Of the Fourteen
Points went glimmering in what
was less a peace" than distilla-
ton of war hates. Ceaseless unrest
testifieS that the borders laid down
were not satisfactory.
The United States in a wave Of
disillusion, rejected the League. De-
feated Germany and revolutionary
Russia were excluded when Al ma
lions organized the League. Later
Germany and Russia were to join,
but Germany, Japan and Italy
withdrew when the League tried to
restrain their aggressive movements.
Great Britain and France dominat-
ed the League and its policies from
the opening session.
The United States wanted no
part of the war settlements. Her
wish to withdraw from information
al affairs was evident from 1919 on.
But narrowing world kept forcing
it sproblemS upon her. When war
reparationS failed. war debts failed.

Story behind the song. 1t was back in 1906
that lady named Nellie Eberhardt planned to write
cycle based Indian folk lore. Indian themes were
then new, and although Charles Wakefield Cadman
had never visited an Indian Reservation when he wrote
his most lovely "The Land of the Sky Blue Water, in
conjunction with Mrs Eberhardt he decided to use
Indian themes which he harmOnized and which have
been since sung by great and small singers Mr. Cad
man did, to a considerable extent pOpuarze this type
of song many of them based tribal melodies, elab-
grated and beautifully arranged But when he wrote
his ''The Land of the Sky Blue Water" ne got his
inspiration for melody for Mrs. Eberhardts poem
while practicing the organ in a small chapel for his
Sunday program. The sun shOne through stained
glass window and melody came to him, and in
half hour he had written and completed the melody
Did YOU know that this song first sung by Madame
Lillian Nordca in 19O9 and Mr. Cadman's success was
assured.

NEUTRALS MUST
FIGHT FOR RIGHTS
One reason the United States en-
tered the war was to defend her
rights as a neutral. ,"Contraband"
was once a generally accepted list
of materials directly useful in war.
Fighting powers were accustomed
to seize them from neutral ships
when bound for any enemy power.
Britain expanded the definition of
contraband to include practically
everything she wished to keep out

in a social gathering, being served an
elegant luncheon at noon. Several went
by plane service, Pilot Leithold making
trips to and from Eastwood all day.
The larger number of Rotarians, with
their guests, made the trip later in the
