First Meeting of
Mems Brotherhood
Of Methodist Church

The Mems Brotherhood of the Meth
odist Episcopal church held it's first
meeting of the fall and winter seasons
in the vestry of the church last eve
ming at $50 o'clock. A fine oyster
stew supper was served by the COM
mittee in charge of refreshments. The
meal included besides generous serv-
ings of the excellent stew (Which, by
the way, was a credit to the chef in
charged. doughnuts, cheese coffee, ice
cream and other delicacies. Prior to
the repast Rev. E. A. Pollard Jones
uttered short prayer, while during
the course of the meal he led the cho-
rus in singing America" and other
old favorites.
After supper George I. Boyden. pres
ident of the association, spoke briefly
in praise of the attendance, which he
said had never been under so since
the association was founded. and
which last evening numbered So. He
then introduced the pastor, Rev. E. A.
Pollard Jones.
The pastor said he appreciated the
interest shown by the members in the
activities of the brotherhood, and was
gratified to see so many there. 1t was
usually difficult. he remarked, to get
things going. but felt that the men
assembled last evening had made a
splendid start and hoped the fine spirit
would continue. Without further OBJ
servations he presented the speaker of
the evening, DR.. William J. Wilkinson
of Colby College.
The doctors subject was "The Euro
pean Debts TO the United States" He
said he would attempt to picture the
attitude of the English, French and
Italian people toward the United
States In regard to their relative in
debtedness. A very common senti-
ment among Britishers was to the eff
feet that England was done for. A
distinct apathy, noticeable nearly ev-
erywhere, was apt to prove destructive
to the country. He spoke of the coal
strike-still unsettled-and of the
enormous cost it had been to the peo-
pie. A million and a quarter Of people
We're unemployed, and the general feel
ing was that fate was against them.
No nation was ever taxed as England
is taxed at this time: a tax that takes
approximately one dollar out of every
four dollars earned: and that they
feel sore when they think that a large
part OF this goes to the United States
England, he said must pay 100000
daily for so years to cancel her in
uepleuleSS TO us ana q large part or
the money she borrowed from us she
lent to the Allies and will probably
never recover more than small part
of 1t.
The attitude of France and Italy he
said was. extremely bitter toward this
country, the feeling being that they
had paid the supreme price of the war
in blood-in lives-whereas the United
States. comparatively speaking. paid
in dollars only. They feel that they
owe us nothing. They do not love us.
No debtor loves a creditor
The speaker said further that If
the war had ended in a draw condi-
lions might possibly have been better.
He said that France and Russia were
just as much responsible for the war
as was Germany.
In concluding his talk DR.. Wilkin-
son said that the European debt stu
alton would be subject for discussion
for weeks, months and, possibly, years
to come.
