TALL CEDARS
CEREM ONIAL
WELL ATTENDED
CcOntInued from First Page

Major Park Huntington, Past Ma
tional chaplain of the American Lee
gion, and present chaplain of the
19Sth Coast Artillery, Delaware Ma
tional Guard, guest speaker of the
evening, brought every Tall Cedar to
a full realization of his duty to God,
Home and Country, in a forcible adj
dress. 1t was considered the best
address the Cedars have had in
years. ~ e.
The juvenile fight between Jimmie
Morris and Jimmie Harrington, 10
pound youngsters, brought forth lots
of laughs and thrills, as they spared
three fast rounds. The main bout
between Albert Witt and Ray Hurd,
in the 135-pound class, was about as
clever an exhibition of fighting as one
could expect to see in amateur bouts.
Both are good clean fighters. Bill
Love did fine job as referee. Seottie
assisted by keeping time.
DR.. Bolan, dentist of Milton, was
without question the cleverest magi-
clan that has been down here in
years. He had everyone guessing as
he went from one situation to an
other.
The meeting was largely attended.
Many visitors were present to enjoy
the festivities.
Those present from Brandywine
Forest, Wilmington, were: WILDER c.
Wilhelm, P. G. T. c., Capt. James
Whaley, Grand Tall Cedar; Forrest
Robinson, S. D. T. c.; Scott Milford,
]. D. T. c.; Harry Trigg, chaplain;
Louis Worrell, representing Penn
Forest of Chester, Pa; Howard Dahl,
Past Grand Tall Cedar, and Walter
Milligan, district representative, rep
resenting Camden, N. j., Forest No. 5.
G. M. Acker, of West Chester, Pa,
was among the dignitaries. Albert
P. Croll, district representative OF
this district, was present in his Off
cial capacity.
The absence of Grand Tall Cedar
George S. Grier, who is ill, left a
vacant space in the evenings get-to-
gether. A token of esteem in the
form of a beautiful boquet of flowers
was sent him. John LeCOmpte, OF
Lincoln, won the door prize.
Tonight. many members OF Ever

REESE THEATER, OCT. 17-1S

Again. the Reese Theater hits the
bullseye with the announcement of
exceptional and new seasonal pic
lures coming to lower Delaware and
Maryland's favorite theater. To judge
from the unusual crowds, this thea
ter seems to be hitting its stride
toward greater entertainment.
Another so-called super announce
ment as far as the theatrical world
is concerned, is the coming of Para
mounts super and colossal new
season hit, "Sing You Sinnersg with
Bling Crosby. Fred MacMurray and
Ellen Drew, at the Reese Theater for
an engagement for Monday and Tues
day, Oct. II and IS. Never so much
fun and excitement combined with
subtle humor could be found in one
evenings offering. Meet the Beebe
family and you have met and know
what we mean by super colossal.
A great all-around family show is
scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 10;
something to please every one is the
order of the day. Two features will
be presented, the first is Speed to
Burn" with Michael Whalen and
host of Fox stars; the second is the
ever-comical Joe Penner in his latest
RK0 hit, I'm From the City" Two
entertaining features plus an extra
special short subject program that
will appeal to every member Of the
family.
II is not often that a theater has
the privilege of presenting a picture
of such beauty and magnitude as

Washington Observations
Chamberlain Trying Where Wilson Failed-To Avert
War by Turning Other Cheek.

with regard to air power. But that
realism has its limitS-that Neville
Chamberlain's patience is not mex
haustible-is crystal clear.
X
Few Americans seem conscious of
the extent to which Mr.. Chamberlain
finds himself between the devil and
the deep blue sea-how he's sure to
be damned If he does, and damned if
he doesn't. Another anomaly of the
British situation is that the element
rated as pacifist-the League group
typifled by Viscount Cecil and Prof
Gilbert Murray, aided and abetted
for the nonce by Capt. Anthony Eden
and Others like Winston Churchill and
Lord Cranborne, who approved of
Eden's walkout from the cabinets
most vociferous in demanding a firm
attitude, to the point of war, toward
Hitler and Mussolni The Leaguers-
am quoting DR.. Murray in the Spec
tator-hold that the securing of peace
through continual giving way and
giving way" is not true peace pol
icy" Says DR.. Murray: Continual
submission tends to stimulate both
the contempt and the appetite of an
ambitious aggressor, and thus leads
to state of things so intolerable
that the victim can stand no more,
and nights when 1t is too late. Every
loss Of prestige by the forces Of peace,
every concession to blackmail, every
betrayal Of trust through fear, makes
war more likely, not less likely. 1t
Is not we, it is certain opponents Of
the League who appeal-not very hon.
estly-to that widely diffused pacifist
sentiment which is actually danger
to the peace of the world because it
is what the dictators trade upon"
X
Speaking further for the formidable
segment of British public opinion,
which dislikes Mr. Chamberlain's pro-
gram of conciliation, which his polti-
cal foes StigmatiZe as policy Of
pusillanimity, DR.. Murray says: ut
seems to us the way to encourage war
Is easy. We have only to inform the
aggressive governments that they are
free to attack and conquer their
weaker neighbors without let or him
drance. Equally the way to discour-
age and even TO prevent war is to let
them know beforehand that anv such
attack will be resisted by the utmost
united force which the great powers
OF the League can bring against it.
That is our supposed war policy 1t
Is really war-prevention policy"
Emphasis has been laid herein
before on Britain's inferiorty in air
strength. 1t is a formidable, perhaps
the most formidable, reason why
Chamberlain is walking warily in deal
ing with the relationships. British
aircraft productive capacity, even
combined Anglo French capacity, is
notoriously below that of Germany
alone, and far inferior. of course. to
German-Italian capacity. London is
within an hours bombing rage of the
Continent. No prime minister dare
leave that iron fact out of considera-
ton in formulating a policy toward

Bearer of Message to
Garcia Came Near
Being Shot.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

= ECOND only to the Bible In
world sales was Ebert Hub
bard's Message to Garcia" the
- total reaching possibly 10000
600. Col. A. S. Rowan, 81, the inspira-
tion Of the message, is honored by the
Cuban government for delivering the
message. He receives the Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes award.
The New York Central alone dis
tributed 100000 copies of the Hub
bard opus. 1t became the gospel of the
go-getters all over the world and pro-
jected many a youth out to deeds to
derring-do. 1t was inspiring, but it
was mostly wrong. There wasn't any
written message in an oilskin pouch
and there were other lapses in his
toric accuracy, as Fra Albertus ham,
mered out the piece in hurry, to fill
gap in his magazine This quite
generally cock-eyed editorial appears
to have been the most effective invo-
cation of accuracy and diligence ever
printed.
Col. Rowan, Virginian was Al
when he delivered the message. He
had never been to Cuba, but had writ
ten book about it and hence was Sc
lected by President Mckinley for the
hazardous mission to Col. Juan Garcia
of the insurgent forces. His heroic
plunge through the jungle is school,
boy epic. His letter to Garcia identi-
fed him as "a man in whom you may
have confidence" The interpreter
made it read confidence man" and
he came near being shot. But that
was Strengthened out and he got back
with the word Washington wanted.
The real anti-climaX of this story is in
the fact that Col. Garcia turned out
to be a general all-around nuisance;
not worth finding under any circum-
stances.
Col. Rowan, trim-rigged, white
mustached, has been living in genteel
retirement on Russian Hill, in San
Francisco, for many years, this writer's
neighbor quite a spell. He was always
modest about the message business
and never seemed to like to talk
about it.

YOU realize that Neville Chamberlain
is trying to do what Wilson failed to
do-to keep out of war by turning the
other cheek. If he succeeds he might
be one Of the great prime ministers
of history. But will he succeed?"
1t was my fortune to be on Journal
istic duty in London throughout the
war-from the beginning to the end.
1t was not very agreeable experience
to be the sole Yankee member of a
great British newspapers staff-North-
cliffe's Daily Mail-during l914-l5-16
and up to our entry into the fray in
1917. That sad period included, In
its first phase, the long siege Of our
pickering with the British over their
high-handed interference with our
neutral shipping rights. and, in its
later stage, Allied resentment of our
"too-proud to-fight' attitude, despite
fragrant provocation by Germany.
Then came the time when Woodrow
Wilson sought and won reelection on
the kept out-of- platform.
