Seek solution to Problem.

In conversations between Poincare
and Lloyd George they endeavored
to find a way out of this tangle.
There is no way out except a complete
washout of interallied debts, includ-
ing those of the United States which
will not be washed out. unless Great
Britain were to forgive all debtors
and pay all debts. That, in my opinion.
is utterly unfair. but also one heroic
remedy which can save us all. For
the sake of Europe the British peo-
pie might be induced to suffer greater
burdens. even at the risk of sinking
under the weight of them. I believe
there is a majority in Great BrItain
who would take that risk for the pos
sible chance of securing world peace
recovery. I am inclined to believe we
shall do so ultimately, whatever
temporary arrangement may be
patched up between Poincare and
Lloyd George with their half-hearted
on each side.
But whether We take the full risk
of the burden of Europe or only part

nounce the rental Of the Builders

room will greet the members on COM
pletion Of the work now under way.
There will be card reading and
billiard rooms.
President ]. NJ. Rhinehart at last
Thursdays meeting called attention to
the big brother Aerie movement, in
which districts are so arranged that
the strong Aerie's can help those that
are not so fortunate. Some Aeries
provide course o. instruction similar
to universities. Experience has
shown that the greatest individual
development is obtained when a GER
tain amount Of mental study is CON-
bined with manual labor. Such a
combination is offered in these in
structive courses. Other Aeries have
established lyceums with lecture
courses and debating clubs.
President Rinehart is planning to
form classes of the members and
to uplift the standing of all those who
attend.
The officers OF the Acre are ever
willing to assist members in obtaining
employment. and are ever ready to
assist those in need of help at all
times. A card to the secretary will
