BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. BERLIN, October 80.—The greatest obstacle to a speedy Franco-German settlement today is the dispute about what really happened at Thoiry. Only three persons were present at the conversation—Foreign Ministers Stresemann and Briand, and an inter- lems,” which exist between France and Germany and are working out a plan which, when ready, they will submit to the French -experts, say within two or three weeks. Steel Cartel Completed. Meanwhile, business men are rush- ing in where diplomats fear to tread and have virtually completed the steel cartel. Within the next few days rep- resentatives of FEastern European steel makers will meet the cartel.dele- gates at Luxemburg, under the be- nevolent eye of President Meyrisch, and will begin negotiations for en- trance. A new step toward internatienal trustifications is being mooted. -It is proposed that after potassium and steel, the Franco-German agreements be widened to include an “alllance’” between the great German dye and chemical trust and the French chem- ical works of Saint Gobain, which, if concluded, would form a glant cor- poration capable of dominating Eu- rope. the mother country. As it day, the Norweglan Soclety Wi celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of its establishment and this present organization rests on an older founda- tion, going back perhaps o0 vears. It ‘was in Februar. Norwegians of Washington, _after many preliminary meetings, effected an organization, and this was mainly on the initiative of A. H. O. Rolle, then chief clerk of the Census Office. Washington much preoccupied with State socl about this date, and, though there were many claim- ing the old Viking land as home, they also had affiliations in the various States, and were soon busy trying to carry these clubs to succe: Mr. Rolle, however, is a native of the District, and having no allegiance among the commonwealths, he fore- gathered some 10 or 12 leading Nor- wegians of W ington, some in the Senate and House, others in scientific circles, the Library of Congress and emong the Capital's most revered business men. About 12 responded, and an election of officers resulted in R S. M. Sartz, who was a specialist in the Department of Agriculture, be- ing made president. M. E. Halvorsen | was chosen vice president.

The second group of a series of all- star musicals given under the au- spices of the City Club, will be held at the club Thursday evening at 8:15 o'clock. A part of the evening will be devoted to the life of Shakespeare. Dr. Willlam A. Wilbur, dean of Co- lumbian College, George Washington University, will give the Shakespeare program, lecturing on ‘“The Loneli- ness of Shakespeare.” He will be as- sisted by Mrs. Dwight M. Young, con- tralto, and Mrs. Corbin Tenil, pianist. A limited number of the public will be admitted, it was announced, but first must secure cards from the office of the executive secretary preter from the French embassy in Berlin. The German thesis is that at Thoiry, M. Briand explicitly admitted the possibility of evacuating the Rhineland if the Germans would offer financial help to France. Therefore, say the Germans, no further talk about security, sanctity of treaties, ste. has any real bearing on the situ: ation. Seek to End Feud. The French declare Tholr: 8 mere concession of prineciple to Herr Stresemann, who wanted some sort of sugar coating to sweeten the rather bitter pill of League entrance to the nationalist throats, and that M. Briand never accepted the principle of_selling Rhineland evacuation. Meanwhile, one thing remains—the rather sincere desire of both sides to get together and end the European feud.
