The men are all safe and we'll The
tug lies only about five or six miles
from shore, which can be reached by
walking on the ice. The supply of pro-

There Is no danger for the crew as long

TO SPEAK HERE
VIII Speak Tuesday Evening
Under Auspices Of Local
Peace Society.
TOURING UNITED STATES
Newspaper Man Will Lecture in In
terest of American Society for
International Cancellation. -
TOURING UNITED STATES

Norman Angel, author and newspaper
man of world fame. who is touring the
United States under direction of the
American Society for International Con-
Citation. will deliver the only lecture he
viii give In Washington at the Church
of the Covenant Tuesday evening under
auspices of the Washington Peace So
ciety.
Norman Angel. a name now familiar
around the world. stands for a newspaper
manager whose real name is Ralph Nor
man Angel Lane. Born in England and
educated on the Continent, his expert
ences in the Western part Of the country
and as Paris correspondent of the various
American newspapers gave him an un-
usual preparation for the great work
which he has done.
For four years he was editor of the
Daily Messenger in Paris. The Paris
Daily Mail, of which he has been the
managing director since $50, owes It's
success entirely to him.
known Best as an Author.
While his achievement as a business
man is acknowledged in newspaper cir
cles, it is in the realm Of authorship that
the world has become acquainted with
this brilliant analyst OF international re-
lations.
His earlier books, such as American
Farming" American Patriotism" PA
triotism Under Three Flags" and Eur
ope's Optical Illusion" are comparatively
little known. THE Great Illusion" how
ever. appearing first in 1911, has had a
more profound influence upon the thought
OF Germany, France England, and the
United States than any other book pub
lished for a generation. The least sig
nifcant thing about the book is that it
has been translated into eleven languages
already and that the sales have reached
over 2,0o00 900 copies. The great fact about
the book is that the governmental pol
icies and political PHILOSOPHERS are being
recast because Of the convincing array
of fact so strikingly set forth by this
forerunner of the new international point
of view.
A new magazine, entitled War and
Peace" has Just been started in England
as a Norman Angel Monthly" Among
the contributors to this magazine are
such persons as Alfred Noyes. Lord Lore
burn, Frederic Harrison, and Sir Harry
Johnston. The literature of Norman
Angelism is already very extensive, espe-
cially in Europe, there being over .
score Of formidable books growing direct
~ out of Mr.. Angeles influence.
Mr.. Angel leaves New York February
IL for a tour throughout the United States
lasting until nearly the first of May. He
will speak in Georgia, Tennessee, Ala
hama, Missouri. Kansas, Ohio. Illinois,
Arizona, Colorado, California, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan, and New York. The
tour is being conducted under auspices
Of the American Society for International
Cancellation aided by the various branches
of the American Peace Society.
