brought with her a map of New Eu-

showed all of the new boundaries of
the European countries. With the
help of this she outlined the activi-

woven with the political fortunes
of Europe. She also spoke of the
critical situation of the Grecian en-
pire of this time and the new bal
ance of power in the east and as she
could not conclude her talk without
speaking of conditions at home she
spoke once more of the league of
nations and the great part that
Americal will play In it If hat great
bone of contention is ever brought
to pass.
