Major Ryan Talks to
Attentive Audience

Major James \. Ryan of the
18TH Cavalry lectured Wedncs
day evening ut the Bank Hall To
large a>somblage OF army ofh
GERS and town citizens on th"
European War and Relief of
Americans in Europe
Major Ryan, prior 10 his ar
rival here last month, was 20
member OF the American Relic
Committee that was sent by Con
grcss at the outbreak Of no>
tilitics 10 relieve all stranded
Americans in Europe which
were found without funds or thr
necessary means OF dcfrayIng
the expense of returning To their
own, their native land lie was
one OF the select American
Army officers in whose charg'
was intrusted the - ,jOO,OOOOU
in gold bullion which was ship
ped on the cruiser Tennessee
from the port of New York in
August. The commendabl"
way in which he and his asso
ciates performed the duty
assigned 10 them has ere now
received the thanks and plauditS
of the nation at large, but We
find that even at this late date II
is apropos to extend our apprc.
ciation of the work we'll done.
The Major graphically and adc-
quately described the many
experiences he encountered
while disbursing the finds to
his brother Americans across
the water, and he specially and
emphatically made mention Of
the friendly and honorable way
in which he, IN American, was
received and assisted in hl~
arduous task by the representa-
! tives Of the belligerant nations.
He told Ol the happiness he
found in the hearts of his strand
ed countrymen when they dis
covered that he was the man who
had come To assist them 10 re-
turn to America, TO the Land of
the Free; and the anecdotes with
which he interspersed his
speech were as interesting ~
they were humorous and pathet
ic. His firm but kind and gentlr
voice played delightfully."- on tn"
humor and pathos of his audience
in a way which enthused them
and caused little thrills of GO.
static pleasure to run up and
down the patriotic parts of their
spinal columns. He made u.
one and all, feel glad that We
were Americans.
The Major lectured continual
ly from 500 To 9.20 u. NJ, and.
during that long period of time,
not sound not even a hic
cough-disturbed the delightful
tone of the speakers voice. His
was a very attentive and appre
ciative audience, AID as the man
from Battle Creek says.
There's a reason"
We hope to again be- honored
with another, yes, many, of
these oratorical treats while the
Major is in our midst For his
courtesy and the entertainment
he gave us we sincerely and
heartily thank him. May his
days be long and pleasant and
his shadow never grow less.
