The Pacifist Bugaboo
"rTE voice of the pacifist is certainly vocif-
' l erous in the land," ironically remarks
the Army and Navy Journal, ridiculing the
"world conference on international justice" to .
be held in Cleveland from May 7 to 11 under
the auspices ot the American Peace Society.
What gives a certain importance to this
periodical's opinion is the fact that it claims
to be the "spokesman of the services." True
friends of the army and navy will very proper-
ly object to this being represented as opposed
to any sincere effort in the direction of Inter-
national justice’and world peace. For the day
that American public opinion becomes con-
vinced that the services are opposed to legiti-
mate efforts of this kind, that day can be
chalked up as bringing genuine disaster.

the question: “What good Is a

A dozen assemblymen jumped

up with the words, spoken with

Governments are contemplat-

In this respect, governments
are assuming a part in the

NEW YORK, April 9.—For a year it has
Al been Broadway's favorite romance. The
sheer incongruity of it caused the play folk of
the big street to stand open-mouthed and un-
believing as any yokel. Because it was going
on before their very eyes, they had to be-
lieve it.
She was a chorine, yet she taught a Sunday
School class. No, it wasn't a press agent
story! Any Sunday morning you could have
gone to Episcopal Chapel Church and found
Frances Milburn with her class. Any other
morning. if you made the hour early enough,
you could have found this same young lady
dancing in a night club cabaret. She had
stepped out of a Broadway chorus Into this
more profitable place. Frances was the living
denial of all the stories of wild chorines.
She went to church socials and Sunday
School picnics. And on one of these picnics
she was introduced to a minister of a Bronx
church. Thereafter Broadway began to wit-
ness an unusual sight. Each evening, after
the theater, the reverend gentleman would be
waiting at the stage door. It was-reported
from the night club lanes that he would ap-
pear in the place where she danced at a late
hpur and wait. This went on month upon
month. Broadway kept its eye close to the
romance. Could it possibly be? Would a
have made his life a burden. We have shown
ourselves nuisances instead of admirers.
Lindbergh wears no hat, we are told, be-
cause he cannot keep one. Enthusiastic ador-
ers snatch them away for souvenirs. His
shirts, ties, handkerchiefs, coats travel the
same road. He can't go out in the public
streets without being followed by a lot of
curious gazers who weary him with hand-
shakes and pester him with questions. He
can't enter a city without stirring up a parade.
He can't dine without being tendered a ban-
quet. '
The only peace he obtains is the peace of
the clouds. It's no wonder he mounts so
happily into them. For there are no men up
there. Only the stillness, and the freedom and
the cheerful hum of hie plane. Frantic souve-
