March 5, 1918.

The meeting was held in the lower hall, the President in the chair. After the reading of the records, Mrs. Henry B. Sears, the delegate of the club to the meeting of the State Federation, read a most interesting report of that meeting. Some notices were given, after which Mrs. Crawford began her talk on Current Events. She spoke first of the recent developments of the war, dwelling especially on the part Japan is to take, and our relations with her, past and present. She took the point of view that Japan ahs been honest in her motives with regard to China and in her relations with us.
With a map of Europe Mrs. Crawford showed the changes which have come about in Germany's war schemes since Russia's downfall and her treaty with the Ukraine, but held out the hope that a decisive victory on the Western front might yet serve to check Germany in her sim of conquest.
