Miss Allen of LOngmeadOw spoke on The Silver Lining of the War Cloud" The opportunity before us, if grasped to the full, would make the lining pure silver. There will be as much alloy to depreciate it's value as we put into it The conditions to be sought are along four lines, international or ganization, national development, democratic reforms within each na- tion and social justice to nations. Miss Allen gave much practical infor- nation on each subject, with concrete examples of the working of each. At an awful sacrifice national errors have been detected and reforms are working to the betterment of the country's affairs.
