TOURISTS VIEW st. eran tomb Many Relics in Kerr County Point to Presence f Famous Saint DINGLE. Irish Free State (AP) American religious tour ists are paying considerable at tention to the historic remains of St. Brendan, the great Irish schol ar and ecclesiastic of the fifth century. St. Brendan is credited with having made the first European discovery of America. Brendan is supposed to have de parted from this picturesque fish ing village on the southwest coast of Ireland in three rowing vessels, each containing 30 men and three benches of Oars. He made. th'Tee voyages. After the first voyage, lasting five years he returned with marvelous stories of remote Islands, icebergs, volcanoes and wondrous visions. " On his second voyage he visited a remote island inhabited by the sole surviving hermit of a com pany of 12. who directed the navi gator to the "Land of Promise," known in Irish as Tir Talrnglre. Brendan spent 40 days on the wat er and then sighted land. Another 40 days were spent In land ex plorations. Then he and his fol lowers reached a great and Im passable river, after which they retraced their steps. Historians ay that there is rea son to believe that this strange land was America. The impass able river might have been the Mississippi. Maps and charts showing Brendan's island in the Atlantic have been. In circulation throughout Europe since the tenth century. .Brendan made a third voyage, thlsvtlme going to Britain and then to, Palestine and Greece. His voyages are particularly remark able in view of the fact that parts of his vessels ' were constructed from hides of animals. . v There are ; many relics iit- Kerr County pointing to the presence of "the saint. iTbe highest moun tain In the Dingle peninsula Is toaind after aim.

IN 40 COUNTIES (Continued from p( 1.). the city,wthers making trips to Bruges, ZAfibrngge, Ypres, Nleu port, etc. ' In the afternoon we saw a won derful historic pageant, singing, etc, v The maritime pageant was an impressive and cfftprful picture of the history of Oaten.

Monday : The Kursaai was packed, the song; leader, Samuel Losh, got into actton and we had a wonderful song service. We tackled fpany of the Old songs and tried ont some new such as" "The MOre "Ve get together the happier we'll be," etc. Rotarian Walter Cline, charr xnah of the convention committee, suggested onr paying respects to the "Omnipotent Being;' that we rise . and tremain standing with fcowed heads for a few moments ; that each of us seek a blessing up on Rotary jn general dhd especi- 'aily upon the convention. The Mayor of Ostend, Dr. Ed- . ouard Moreaux, welcomed 119" in French on behalf of the communal administration, He . . said : "Ostend Is today doubly proud and happy, because Jtt addition to our delight at the privilege of your official recep tion we appreciate with equal ett thusiasm the honor of 'housltig this" .session ot your deliberation." v Rotarian Albert Boufchery, pres ident of the host club, voiced the greetings' . of the executive commit tee of the Ostend Committee and the Ostend flub whose members .have shown sncb zeal in collabor ating In the Organization of this world eOftgress. - He said : "J welcome the eminent people who represent Rotary Interna tional; Its distinguished president, Harry Rogers, and his collabor ators, the members of the Chicago tmrea'u, welcome"1 the president and the committee metriber&.of Tt.

"Yet me tell you what I told the continental Rotarlans, and that is that everything in Rotary is for cordiality and friendship', and this convention mnst clearry show the jneaninie of this feeling. Already yesterday they were deep ly fit ruck by your singing, by your magnificent unity of soul, wrought j in notary by Hinging together. Rotarlans from overseas, you have shown us much of the higher spir it of what Rotary really is." Spanish Welcome Dr. Florestan Aguilar, governor of the ffOth district, responded to the address of welcome. The Doctor was one of the founders of the club fn Madrid, Spain. He said: "It has been, said that our pro tection is , in our fraternity and pur armor is 'our faith. "Men from New Zealand to Peru, from Cffba to Italy, frOm Spain to Canada, are here with a common Ideal: to promote the principles of Rotary, honor and unselfishness. We are enjoying the pleasure of making friends, and friendship la love without Its paras. Yon have received ns rn a brotherly way and given to this convention a really and truly in ternational character with the in telligent and successful prepara tion that you made for this meet ing." Rotarian Walter Cline an nounced the appointments on the various convention committees such as elections committee, res olutions committee ahd lie cre dential committee. Walter also gave ns Instruc tions as to ' behavior when the King arrived, and said: "Yon have not to restrain yourselves. If you care to aplaud, you may do so, but please remember that whist ling is not taken as we take k in Amertca, and if yon want to ex press yourselves, don't whistle. You will be expected to rise at the entrance of His Majesty and re main standing during his address, atd please remain standing and orderly until he has passed out of , this rdota iftto the luncheon room. I know you will show re spect by remaining standing." President's Address From tlie address of President Harry H. . Rogers: . "One would hardly be human not io be moved by this demonstration. To have the gbod wishes and respect of so many fine Rotarlans ahd their ladies is the greatest compensa tion life has to offer. "Six years ago the contention was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, and when we realize the extent to which Rotary has1 grown since that time who dares to prophecy what the next 4 f few , years have in Store for us In the ma.t'ter of. ex tension, especially In "EuroiJe. " "At Edinburgh ' there were but 19 countries in Rotary wtth, 85 clubs. At that time there Were 3 5 clubs in the Brtish Idles, Madrid had 1 2 members, , and J Paris, France, 16: Today her are 40 countries In Rotary with 2595 clubs. Now there are 251 clubs In the British '- Isles and ,72 clubs on the continent of Europe with some 2500 Rotariads. Suffice it Is to say that if, Rotary shall grow oh the continent dating the next six years as it has In the British Isles during the past six. we shall all be happy." At the close of the president's address he was presented with a gavel made of wood takefi from the mantel In the Paul Harris home at WalltngfoTd, Vermont. In accepting the gift the presi dent said he hai fcefen intimately associated with Paul Harris not Only In Chicago' but In'' Texas; that he had learned to appreciate him as a loving man. a real force, as well as the founder of Rotary. That he hoped he might have been with us today to deliver a message in person, but ft was "foiind Im possible for him to come; but we .are glad to have a message from him and it will now be read by onr secretary. From Rotary Founder Paul stressed the sixth object of Rotary and said: "Let us de stroy the foe lto understanding. The three generals in command of the destructive forces are Sus picion, Jealousy and Fear. "Let us stimulate and encourage the constructive forces and place in their command the three greatest generals the -world has -ever known: Faith, Love and Courage. ' "May we all. Christian.

The King Comes The anticipated arrival of King Albert, caused oulte a commotion, and every one was on the "alert to catch the firm glimpse Of hfm. The crowd grew a llMle Impatient as the fhtervenirig' motrients passed. Eventually, at 11:20, His Majesty .Kjfng Albert arrived at the Kursaai. accompanied by hts r6yal escort, " lie was "met at the entrance of the Kursaai by the convention eomnrMtefe, who escorted htm to the hail door, where he was met by President Rogers and escorted to the speaker's platform. When His Majesty entered the door the entire assemblage arose to Its feet and remained standing during the entire time he was in the convention hall. He Was re ceived with great applause. President Rogers greeted the King in his usual affable manner and said that several months ago It seemed 'appropriate to the board of directors of Rotary Interna tional that an annual convention be held in the near future In some city not of the North American continent, and the decision was reached to hold the 1927 Conven tion in some European city. "Invitations were received from many European clubs asking the pleasure and privilege of enter taining the 1927 convention Of Rotary International. One of them from the Rotary club of this wonderfully historical city of Ostend. It was quite natural, yohr Majesty, that this Invitation should have been accepted for several reasons. Ostend has un excelled facilities for the enter tainment Of Rotarlans, not only daring the season of the conven tion but rn the hours devoted to retreatlori, "Your Majesty fs well aware of the fact that the sixth object of RotaTy. in fact Its ultimate goal, is 'the advancement of under standing, goodwill and Interna tional peace. Yoiir country has earned the goodwill of the world and has made a great and lasting contribution towards international peace. Your famous declaration that Belgium is a ebnntry and not a road, undoubtedly paTed the w.iy to a better understanding of each other on the part of the reoples pf the world .' -ld much to prove Jhat right and not might should prevail in international re lations." ' . King Albert's Address The following Is the address of welcome-' by Albert,1 king of the Belgians : "Ladies ahd Gentlemen: I am deeply moved by your warm re ception and by the heartfelt and eloquent speech of Mr. Harry Rog ers, the devoted and distinguished president of Rofary International. Let me express to him my grati tude '. for the kind words he has addressed to me and especially for his friendliness towards my country, whose people and whose conduct I was glad to hear him praise in so cordial a manner. "Belgium's ambition is to Win .the esteem andT 'respect of other nations by her devotion to right, ,hfer love of justice, her grit and 'fcet: BettteVot progress, it gives me a great pleasure to welcome io&f tKonsaiTdti Of Rotarians from America, from Great Brit alft, from! - conntries all over the WOTlaV The presence here of so many ladies ana the keen interest they take In the matter, is a prec ions encouragement and will con tribute t6 the success of this hu manitarian campaign. We highly appreciate your coming to Belgian soil tO hold your Inspiring con vention. Ostend is proud to re ceive yon and will do her best to give yon at lasting and agreeable remembrance of Belgian hospital ity. ' ' "Four thousand American citi zens crossing the Atlantic the Atlantic which your fellow coun trymen, Lindbergh ahd' Chamber Iain, crossed in some thirty hours -Is indeed ah important event and proves the strength of Ro tarian' feeling and cooperative spirit, A Rotarian myself, as your president lias kindly remembered and I think I am alone in the classification to' which 1 belong (laughter), I know how sound and 'trustworthy yoar movement Is. and I am sincerely convinced of the Increasing Influence of your remarkable organization. "The application of the golden rule to personal, business and community life,' stimulates the de velopment of that sense of citi zenship so difficult and yet so fm perativefy essential to cultivate. A lively and active civic spirit is the roOt of all good governments. Rotarian principles are those that make good servants of the state jftfd develop amongst me'mbers of a nation and of a society, true friendship that great need of the world. To accept the sacrifice o? self to one's nefghbor, to. accept the idea of ethics In trade ahd in profession, is' to' be well aware of the responsibilities of a modern Citizen. Groups 6f Individuals, working clone1 together tike you do for a common purpose,' can ac complish wonders. "The -great Rotarian Ideal, es sentially a hhtbatfitarian Ideal of brotherhood, may have an effic ient application in the broad sphere of international friendship.

The achievements of the past hire been encourag ing, the "results "of thfc f a)ore should be equally beneficial, and 1 1 ft ' confidently look forward to that future. I hereby declare the eighteenth convention open." - A luncheon was givetr -to King Albert In the ambassadors room In the Koriaai. This was attend ed by- the officials of the Rotary International. The officials were late5 returning' from luncheon and the party passed through the hall while singing was going on. Im mediately Samuel LOgh. our song leakier, swung the audience into "For he's a jolly good fellow." It was a surprise to His Majesty ands he seemed to enjoy it. He bowed and smiled in every direc tion as he slowly walked out of the assembly hall. President Rogers then present ed the board of Rotary Interna tional and the district governors, and just to show that he knew them he called them each by name. He then proceeded, and the quickness with which he called their names showed the Intimate acquaintance he enjoyed with his official family. What Rot nVy Means Donald A. Adams addressed the assemblage on the topic, "What Does Rotary Mean?" Among other things he said: "Rotary is very simple, but the simplest things are often the hard est to explain. One Of the prin cipal messages .which Rotary is bringing to us is tbaf of the re sponsibility of the individual and the essential oneness of life. And the main purpose of a Rotary club is. I believe, the development of the individual. Rotary is bring ing us a message as to how we can individually play our part in making the world a better place in which to live. I. B. Sutton delivered an ad dress in the Spanish language, "What does Rotary International mean?" To work actively in all branches of human knowledge in all countries of the world so that in giving way to coming genera tions civilization will have been advanced as' far as is humanly pos sinle, through the development of goodwill and true international friendship, by a group of men whose motto is, "He profits most who serves best." This concluded the meeting for the afternoon and in the evening a reception was given by the burgomaster at the town hall. Tuesday morning the session opened at 9:30. Rotarian Chas. La Pillslury pre sented an illuminated parchment as an expression of the apprecia tion of the Minneapolis club for the acceptance of its invitation for the 1928 Rotary convention to meet in their city. At this time a request for nom inations of officers was made, af ter which they were duly second ed and were -finally voted upon. Sir John Pratt gave a very in teresting talk on "What does in ternational mean?" He said: ."I happen to be a Scotchman. Now, sirs, the Scots have many virtues, and most of the virtues belong to the Scotch man. He has about nine-nine per cent of them, or perhaps more, but there is one virtue the Scotch man has not he has not the vir tue of eloquence. Americans are orators, and the Welshmen above all are orators. But the Scotch man is a Strong, silent than phlegmatic, dour, taciturn; is as economical with his words as he Is geneFOus with' his money so therefore you will receive me on this Occasion with that' quiet ahd hnexpectant reserve of which I stand in need." ' One outstanding address was given by T. C. Thomsen on the topic, "What can Rotary do for Europe?" '- "From repeated experience we do' know that the seed of Rotary is vigorous. Is full of latent pow er and vitality, and that ho mat ter what the mental climate or soil is like, Rdtary will sooner or later take root, will -grow up and blos som fn every European country as it has done elsewhere. "In some countries 'Rotary will spread quickly; in others the growth will be slow like that of the acorn into the oak tree; all according to the character of the people. "It is fiard for some of the Eur opeans to catch the real spirit of Rotary. It is hard to break down the barriers of formality and dig nity, but we feel that all who at tended this wonderful gathering got much foOd for thought ont of the addresses given by Rotarians from all Over the world. Work in Holland "The extension of Rotary in Europe," by J. A. E. Verkade, Holland, wits next. He told of his first visit to a friend in Indiana who was a Ro tarian who took" Win "to ftO'ta'r'y luncheon, and how' he" caught the spirit of good fellowship, and his visit to the head office in Chicago to learn1 mOre -about' Rotary. He was so impressed with the spirit of Rotary that upon his return he was convinced that now was the time tO start Rotary in Holland. Bot what a dtstHwsioh! Nobody understood his enthusiasm; here was One of the American' fads, they said, absolutely not suited to the continental mentality. "After a while f gave it up as a bad job. The first European convention at Edirihorgh In 1921 gave such a tremehdtms impetus to 'Rotary In . the' "British Isles, after which Ches. Perry ' Visited 'Amsterdam aid! called on two Hollanders who lived ih'Atneriea aevefal years' and who had been members of Rotary clii&V one la a Texas city, ana the ' t . " : - ;,.'" , other at at Fort Smith. 'ChesT ad- ised these men to start Informal lunches and to add to J he number gradually. After nearly a year the firsts club In Holland was In augurated, Jin November, 1922. This club was the third clnb on the European continent; the first Was at Madrid and the second in Paris.' , ,, r 'We are In Europe at present In' a most precarious position. The horrible ordeal we have gone through some years baek has sown distrust.' Ill feeling, jealousy; yes. even hatred. It Is a hard job 'to overcome this seeming dis cord, caused by so-called conflict ing interest. Walls Of tariff in crease the difficulties, and the cry of Britain for the British. France for the Frenchman, Hol land for the Dutchman, etc., sep arates us more and more. The peoples of European countries know at the bottom of their hearts that we cannot do without each other, that these cries are false,' that none of us are self-contained and- that only , a peaceful ihter eonrse of men, of commerce and the exchange of what is discov ered in science and art, can help us out of the mire into which we seem to he sinking. Rotary can do much to prepare the ground for future development. Rotary Is awakening, into every well mean ing man the feeling that he wants the -other man to have his share as well. Rotary, practiced in daily life, by an ever greater num ber of business and professional men, will help to build willing material to tackle the removal of obstacles which now obscure the view." On Tuesday afternoon there was an equestrian show at the Hippodrome, and a tea. for the ladles of the convention at the Kursaai. The evening was given over to sectional dinners, concerts and dances in the Kursaai.

' Resolution No. 1, extends the period of time yon may make up attendance on six preceding and six succeeding days, which was passed. Resolution No. 2 was to strengthen the sixih object, which now reads: "The advancement of understanding, good will, and in ternational peace through a world fellowship of business ahd profes sional men united in the Ideal of service." No. 3 changed the terminology of section 4 and f of the consti tution which has to do With mem bership. No. 7 and 14 had to do with members who are in the consular service abroad. No. If has to do with making provision for endowment funds, etc. No. 10 had to do with the re duction of the per capita tax, but this was withdrawn. Other resolutions were present ed, some of which were hot acted upon. The 8wli Vlevr Dr. Georg Wettsteln of Zurich gave an address oh' "The essen tials of dub administration," said : "The- essentials Of club adminis tration' are to make the members individually and collectively real ize ahd understand the sense of our excellent and nOhle afm. Ro tary Is hot a luncheon club. Do not make It one and thus profane and corrupt our ideal. ' "The chief" and highest power in a Rotary club lies in the hands of all the members together, the club body itself. Bring' before the club body, only the things which are important enough ahd which the majority of the members wish es to' handle Itself: do your best 4 to have as members only good Ro tarians and do not forget that the soundest,, policy is to tfnde'rstand J and cooperate with the majority; I would plead for a certain con tinuity of tradition, the sound de velopment of the club and harm ony among its members. Let all Rotarians stick together in main taining sons d and proper club ad-j ministration lor '-our own' and for the benefit and the success of Ro-j tary International." V Crawford Mcullough gave nil address on the subject. "The .ex pression"' of ' the Rotary . Idea tnfoSgh Its rules' and regulations." Hts closing-remarks were as fol lowat "The- Rotary way of living squares with 'the fundamental In stincts of man. Rotary, " the in stitution, throngh. lta rules and regulations, tries to keep ever fer tile the warm soil of fetlowshlp. so that men may become friendly wfrh one another. To have ac quired, the habit of self discipline and ftrutual fOrbeararice Is to have made a great conquest. Conquest develops the stature of nien, and the greatest is he who has con quered self. To be happy, then, is to live and to serve. And so Rotary." After the morning session the club secretaries luncheon fol lowed. In the afternoon there was a military equestrian show at the Hippodrome and at night a concert at the Kursaai. The pres ident's ban followed Immediately after ttye concert. Thursday morning, after the ns aal song service, the, president spoke of the sudden death of Ro tarian Jofaan Basberg, president of the Oslo cfub, and appointed the continental governors as a com mittee' to present a floral tribute. Ixmdoner Speak Sydney Pascal! of London gave an address on "Vocational Ser vice." "We beliewe firstly that the doctrine of service above self applies to a man's vocation and that there is not a higher standard of business than of personal hon or. Every man, whether he be of this religion, or that religion, every Rotarian has some guiding creed or some guiding principle. If you do not carry out your creed in your vocation you are false to yonr creed. Secondly, that Ro tarians have a call to higher stand ards of practice in their own busi ness, in their trade and trade as sociations, and in the business world as a whole, In entire sup plement to the work of chambers of commerce ahd government reg ulations." Italy's ideals Piero Pirelli of Milan, Italy, spoke on "Community Service." He said: "I trust that after this meeting of ours, through the ex change of visits between Rotarlans of different countries to which the post convention tours will give oc casion, each one of us will strive to see as much as possible what others are doing in other -countries in the field pf community service and bring home experi ences, ideas and suggestions for a more efficient development of the great Rotary ideal which is in our hearts. "This is an International meet ing. I have spoken in Italian. I do hot think it possible or perhaps advisable, that Rotary should have some day a common language, but it certainly has a common spirit, and we can all understand each other from this common spirit, and make an effort to understand each the other fellow's language." A Frenchman Speaks Prof. Claude Gilli of Nice, France, spoke on "What contri bution can Europe make to Rotary?" "A few years ago Europe was rich. By its labor and thrift, and its spirit of research, it had ac cumulated enormous resources. The national currencies of most of the large countries of Europe were on a gold parity basis. The smaller countries and those less favored with natural resources were enriched by the others, and if the Rotary spirit had animated ail of them the eleventh principle of the code of ethics would have been' close to realization, thus dedicating our sixth object." The credentials committee fur ther advised that the attendance percentage Of clubs represented is 89.1, while the attendance in Den ver last year Was 88.5; that' the committee considers this -to be a real achieevment. Moreover only three of the forty countries in Rotary are not represented here. At this time Walter Cline, chairman of the convention committee,- took charge of the meet ing. - Sydney Nascall, London, said Harry Rogers was growing bigger and bigger In the affections of the British and it took the largest piece of photographic paper in the Blanks That Are I,,..'

Rotarian W. C. Edwards of Texas made a presentation speech and said: "President Harry, as a man, as a citizen, as a Rotarian you have done an outstanding ser vice, not only to Rotary but to the whole world. I think in the life of every great man there has been an inspiration, and, as the French gay, .'Look for the woman.' Where is she? Where is the wife? . "Rotarians of all countries have great respect for you, and We. have to Inform you that a handsome silver service is await ing you in New York." Walter Cline further explained that the silver service has been purchased ana is awaiting President Harry and has wife in New York and there was a surplus of 2000, which is represented by the bit of paper Governor Bill handed to President Harry. Presentation was also made to President Harry by the Rotary club of Carlsbad of a piece ot porcelain as an expression of their esteem. Rotary In Japan Rotarian Masatoshi Fusiwara reported five' chibs in Japan and also said: "Allow me to give you some Idea as to why we Japanese are interested in Rotary. Let- me give yon some notion of the mot ives that prevail in the minds of the Japanese people. We are con vinced that the true goal of hu man, life is the same all over the world and amongst all sorts and conditions of people. We Japan ese .know as well as any other people that no one is born into the world to live a selfish life or to live for himself. We realize also that no one would die for his own interest, but rather for some other person, or for his own people or for some other cause. "We believe that humanity's sHipreme Interest and purpose Is humanity, ahd that man's "best endeavor should be spent for man. And we are the more con fident of the truth of this gospel because it has a scientific basis in the fact that all animal beings struggle not for themselves, but for others. The. birds build their nests; not for themselves but for the birds of the future. The lion roars, not for himself but for the lions that are yet to be. - "In Japan we are endeavoring to 'play the game' as a civilized nation, eager to learn, ardent to love, keen to play our part In civilization's perfect purposes." President's Reply President Harry Rogers: "Fel low Rotarians, I could not sit by and receive these many, many courtesies at your hands without saying one additional word. "I have had the great ideal be fore me, and as I go back to my own people, to my old home, I am hoping that because of the little service I have been able to render, they may truthfully say of me i ji , Insurance f ah Kinds.

I have, gone from rather abject, poverty somewhat apt the ladder of snceess and I am wondering what you would think this morning if I wanted to take the money which you have given hie and place one-half of It in the hands of the King of thii f5ntry for the boys' work which' Vibeing conducted in Ostend, and th? oth er half Into the endowment fund, which has been ereated by virtue Of a resolution adopted here, as an example of what Rotarians may do to jprovlde a fund for use in the future." ', ''...' , Rotarian Raymond Knoeppel, New York "In order that I may attend to my own duties-and then help the others I will proceed with, the first presentation on behalf of the Rotary club of New York. For a period of about ten years, it has been the practice of the Rotary club of New York to present an American flag to Rotary clubs in countries other than the United States. At the very beginning it was our idea that we should pre sent the American flag to all the, Rotary clubs in all countries other than the United States, but four Or five years ago the clubs came so fast and furious that we found . we .would have to discontinue these presentations, otherwise we would have to go without lunches on Thursday. At the present time we have presented 139 American flags to all but 12 nations repre sented In Rotary. It is my pur pose at the present time to pre sent flags to the following clubs: Vienna, Austria; Santiago, Chile; Prague, Czecho Slovakia; Guat emala City,' Guatemala;. Budapest. Hungary; Lisbon. Portugal ; Stockholm, Sweden; Caracas, Veiv-i eznela; Bogota, Colombia; Hel sinki, Helsingfors, Finland; Sah Jose, Costa Rica; San Salvador, , Salvador, ' ""With the twelve cities, I have just announced they now include the entire forty nations of Rotary. In presenting these flags to you, itA our neW Rotary friends and I believe that most of these twelve '3 cittes in these twelve nations have come into Rotary the past year- we present these flags to you as the gift of the Rotary club of New York, but In the folds of these flags are the hearts of the Rotar- . ians of every Rotary club in our ' country.' ' "We In America realize that no one nation has all the wisdom and all the ideals of the world; we realize that as understanding In- creases, as we get - to know the people of the world better through Rotary, with this great spirit of Rotary International shall coye .. everlasting peace and good lT?il and' understanding between, 'Tie nations of the world."
