was the first topic. A significant 
point was the result of the recent war 
between Tripoli and Italy when the 
former came under the rule of the 
latter with the proviso that Moham- 
medanism should not be interfered 
with there. Morocco, which has long 
been a bone of contention between the 
European powers, has been divided 
between France and Spain and 
France has given to Germany a part 
of the Congo district. Tangiers has 
been ceded to Great Britain partly 
that her guardianship of Gibralter 
may not be weakened. Great Britian 
rules Egypt jointly with the Khedive 
of that country and has strengthened 
her hold upon South Africa greatly 
during recent years. 
Miss Cole spoke at some length 
of the Balkan war. She mentioned 
the causes leading up to the war and 
the sad state of Turkey’s military 
forces since the young Turkish fac- 
tion came into power. Since Monte- 
negro, joined by Servia, Bulgaria and 
Greece, declared war, affairs have 
been going steadilv against Turkey. 
Turkey having asked for peace, a 
conference of envovs is now holding 
session at London. The demands are 
that Turkey shall give un Scutari, 
Adrianople, her strongest fortress, 
the islands of the Aegean and shall 
pay tribute. The next point which the 
speaker took up was election of thie 
French President at Paris Friday, 
Tanuarv 17. Miss Cole made narticu- 
lar mention of the difference hetween 
the presidential election in France and 
in the TInited States. "The difference 
lies principally she said. not in the 
fact that the French onresident is 
elected by the National Acceambly hit 
in the atietness of the election. 
Frenchmen seldom know anvthing of 
the life or nersonalitv of their newly 
chacen nresident. 
Miss Cole snoke of last vear in our 
own countrv as one of “elections and 
congresses.” President-elect Wilson. 
che helieved. has the executive ahilitv 
and knowledge to have a steccessfil 
reign, althoneh Miss Cole is a firm 
sunnorter of Mr. Taft. ‘The sneaker 
was verv favorahle ta the tartff hill 
nassed in President Taft's term. Al- 
though Mr. Wilson is minority presi- 
dent. he has strong Democratic stiup- 
nort and we mav hone for the nassage 
af same excellent laws recardine the 
inausuration of the President and the 
sessions of Coneress in the near fu- 
ture. said Miss Cole. 
Miss Cole received goratifvine an- 
nlanse at the clace af her addeace and 
the meeting adiourned for the social 
hour. Mrs. Edna Peabody was 
hostess. ;
