At a recent victory demonstraI tion, after a political success, there was a deep religious atmosphere. , .,.I Regarding the League of Nations, England approves, as does all Europe, but is critical of it as it stands. For the invar:ion of . thco Ruhr iP the Rhineland, where conditions ol suffering from cold, hunger, and terror are almost unbelieveable, far worse than in France at any time, France alone, is t;~ot responsible. England and Amenca share this responsibility. The inha!Ji ... tants of the Ruhr begged that our troops might remain at Coblenz for they gave protection, but the troops were withdrawn. Because of the lawless destruction of the railroads industry is suspended. France imposes everything French on these mistreated people for France used the Ruhr as security against Germany's possible aggression after the war. France estimates Germany's debt to her as thirty three billion whereas twelve or thirteen billion would be a fair amount to exact and yet France refused to join a conference to discuss the subject of debts. Here is where the United States should enter, to be willing to take a bigger view of the whole situation and carry her share of the burden by cooperation with the deep thinkers of England. Miss Schmidt answered several questions from her interested audience after so which there was a social hour in the club parlors. The foJiowing were the hostesses of the afternoop: Mrs. C. Anderson Aldrich, Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, Mrs. Joseph H. Br ·wn, Mrs. Raymond E. Durham, Mrs . .rrancis A. Lackner, and Mrs. is, Howard T. Walsh.
