which he Is probably the best qualified to treat

and wonderfully feucitous delineati0n OF the
experiences of the men who have made their
mark in describing decisive battles and In for
warding the news through great personal risk
and exertion, kept the audience up to the keen
est point of interested attention. The applause
was continuous, and when the lecturer con.
