Englewood. N. J., on the highlands opposite Manhattan, is a community of wealthy burghers, like Banker Seward Prosser, Editor Bertie Charles Forbes, Publisher Bernarr Macfadden, Mental Hygienist Clifford Whittingham Beers, onetime Second Assistant Postmaster General Warren Irving Glover, Mrs. Dwight Whitney Morrow. Intelligent, they make certain, when they hire servants, that the help are healthy. But they cannot be sure with whom their employes run around on off days.

His mother, played by Miss Wynyard, is a fine lady and a militant pacifist, as in "Cavalcade...
Everything is going smoothly for the pacifists, especially for Secretary Seward, when the action begins. Some one has assassinated someone and "we are on the verge of a war." "The New Peace Pact is off" and the drums beat. Secretary Seward sees his duty before him, as agent of the people, and persuades himself into a change of heart. Mrs. Seward is intractable, and like Lysistrata, she takes council with the women, who decide not to give the country any more men.
