ROTARIANS HEAR OF
RHUR CONDITIONS
Attorney Sherman y. Shumway Gives
Address mt the Weekly Luncheon
Of the Club In &. A. II. Hall

At the weekly club luncheon of
the Skowhegan Rotary Club last
Tuesday. Sherman y. Shumway was
the speaker. He gave splendid ad-
dress on the situation in the Ruhr.
Mr.. Shumway gave much to his lis
teners on conditions in Europe, say
ing that conditions were worse than
at the close of the war. He at
tributed a common fear as being the
cause for keeping the five great pow
ers of Europe united in one in 1918.
He spoke particularly of the problems
of England and France, telling OF
the commerce of England and the
agriculture of France. He also took
up the topic Of national indebtedness
and believes that the withdrawal OF
the French from the Ruhr would
mean the destruction of France. He
said France was in the Ruhr to stay
until Germany pays or shows its will
lingness to pay. He said that Ger
many would have to surrender with
in year but that she was trying by
diplomacy to get England to come
around the peace board. Mr.. Shum-
way said that great battles are 60
ing on in Europe today, but that the
greatest battle is between France and
England. When Germany surrend-
ers we will be back in the same con-
dtions as in 1918 and the great con-
f1ict between France and England will
be to see which will dominate. In
the absence of r. w. Leighton, the
recognized song leader, DR.. r. A. Der
byshire acted in that capacity. Frank
Fellows of Maiden, Mass, was a guest
at the luncheon.

officers was appointed, consisting of
