briefly but to the point on ethical intelli-

+ with well expressed and deserved praise
+ of the speaker of the evening. Mis-.
/ Hamlin was requested to speak on the
"Washington Conference" one of the
+ six subjects she is speaking on through
1 out the country, and many who heard
/ her Monday evening would be delighted
1 to hear all of the series. She is broad,
/ bright American woman with the ad-
vantage of world travel, of an inheri-
/ tance of the best of Maine blood, and
many advantages of home education.
1 Fearless and unusually fair in her ex-
preston she covered the situation at
Washington in a most concise manner
from the selecting by President Harding
of Americas biggest men to sit with
representatives of the foreign countries
concerned in the debates. Speaking with
out notes her entire discourse had an in
innate relation not met with in the press
covering the same ground. 1t would be
impossible to give a summary of her talk
as the full text would not allow clipping
Following the lecture she spoke inform
ally on why Germany should pay and
suggested that it would be noble thing
for the United States to cancel frances
Indebtedness to US. She also made some
bright and very forceful statements about
j the u. S. Senate and remarked that il
was time for business men to dispace the
professional men in its membership.
