 s. s. Mcclure, New York editor and publisher held the 200 members and guests with closest attention for over an hour while he gave a verbal picture of conditions in the world as it is. It was a gloomy picture and he was not very reassuring nor hope full as to the outcome unless America measures up to it's responsibilities with far greater success than has teen true of it in the past two years. The speaker made a gerat impress sion upon the men, for he showed that by his studies and research in nearly every land of the globe he was familiar with world conditions first hand and based his opinions upon the information he had gleaned personally.
