THIS is the year when we need
make no apologies for the Ly-
ceum and Chautauqua. 1t Is the
hour for folks who stand for big ideals.
The nation needs this army of the un-
common good.
In the American heart there Is
sense of impending danger. Our coun-
try is fighting against fear. We are
pacing the floor while European civili-
zation groans upon the operating table.
In this presence of death, as in every
great crisis, we feel the need of tight
er grip upon the fundamental princi-
pies of life.
This is a serious moment, People
who, either from necessity or from
choice, have thought more of making
a living than of making a life are al
ready panic stricken. Only men with
a vision are calm and confident.
Our boys and girls can wear the old
clothes another season, but we dare not
permit them to go another six months
without new ideals. Our churches can
use the torn hymn books and ragged
carpet but we must have deeper con
ception of religious truth. In a great
calamity the man who has only tech
nlcal training will blow out his brains,
but the one who has caught the soul
of education can sit hungry and ragged
upon the ruins, reading st. Paul or
Shakespeare, and know that he is rich
and fortunate.
The Lyceum and Chautauqua has its
excuse for existence in that it stands
for high idealism. There was never
time when it was so much necessity.
People have never had a greater hun
ger or a greater need for entertain
ment but it must be entertainment
very much worth while. A great re-
ligious wave is sweeping the country.
Only the desperate and depraved are
spending precious money for cheap

BAL KAN CITY
BIRTHPLACE Of
EUROPEAN WAR
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.-Ser-
ajeyo, always one of the most fruitful
breeding places in Europe OF conspir-
acies and revolts, first against the
Turks and then against the Austrians,
and which, as the tiny unknown Bos-
nian town where the spark ignited that
famed forth into the greatest war of
the ages, will henceforth be known to
every school child of every land, is
the subject of today's National Geo
graphic Society war-zone sketch. Ser
ajevo, the scene of the assassination OF
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
apparent to the throne of Austria and
Hungary, and his wife, the Duchess of
Hohenberg, which event provided the
occasion for the division of all the ma
tiOns of Europe against one another is
described as follows:
"One of the beauty spots of the Bal
kans is that occupied by the Bosnian
capital, Serajeyo. 1t is built upon the
River Miljacka, a small tributary Of
the Bosnia, and spreads over both
slopes of the narrow valley to the
rugged hills.s Partly oriental, and
wholly set in the green and emerald of
its gardens and neighboring we'll
wood hills, Seraievo is frequently
called The Damascus of the North.
The city lies in the southeastern corn
er of Bosnia, 122 miles southwest of
Belgrade. With a growing population
of 10000 and a thriving commerce and
industry, Serajevo has been fast losing
its Eastern character, reconstructing
the old Turkish city to conform to the
purposes Of Western progress.
"Sarajevo is an important COM
mercial entrspot, distributing cznter
for Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia and
Montenegro. Its large bazar is a fav-
orite market place for the peasants of
the whole province, while its commls-
sfon Fogses conduct the exchanve of
Bosnian agricultural and mineral !
products with the manufactures OF
other parts of the empire. 1t has pot
teries, silk mills, a tobacco factory. |
and a large Individual, or house in
dustry, which produces fine embroid,
cries, rugs, embossed and filigree-wurk
"Serajevo was founded in 1852 By
the Hungarian General Cotroman. and
was enlarged by the Turks and Sc
lected for their administrative Bosnian |
headquarters. Following the Austrian
occupation of 1878, it was largely re-
built and has been steadily increasing
in prosperity. It's inhabitants are
mostly Serbo-Croats, who hate the
Austrians, yet many of whom declare |
that their new-found prosperity is en-
tirely owing to the new regime. Sera-
jevo has been a continual seat of anti
Austrian agitation and propaganda for
generations, which eliminated in the
assassination of last summer"

trays stirring story of two young
clubmen who live in the same apart
ment hotel in a big city. In an effort
to befriend a little girl friend from
the country. one of the men employs
her as a stenographer. Suddenly taken
i'll, the girl becomes unconscious, and
her employer sends her home in his
motor car, an incident creating no end
of comment and scandal in her neigh
borhood of poorer people, and one of
the clubmen sees her being carried in
their friends car, and scandal starts
in the apartment hotel. Unconscious
of the results, everyone dips his oar
into the affair, and before long it is a
seething mass of human wreckage,
ending in an ultimate dissolution of
marital ties, and the picture of the
debris is appalling. 1t is clearly a
story of how great trees from little
acorns grow. and Is a powerful lesson
to those with whom scandal finds a
ready place. Arthur Campbell sings
the latest songs of the day. and will
be welcomed by all.

CAROLS AND BALLADS
On Programme to Be Given by Music
Association.

The programme that will be given
in Slater hall annex this evening by
the Norwich Music association will
include old Christmas carols and
English, Scotch and Irish ballads. The
Highland fling and sword dance will
be danced in costume that was used
throughout the campaign in South
Africa in the Boer war.
In some Of the ballads that will be
given there will be distinguished the
invariable characteristics of folk songs
the kindling imagination and spirit
Of awe and superstition that lead prim-
tive peoples to regard objects as SEN
tient beings and peopled woods and
fields with fairy folk with mischievous
designs upon credulous human kind.
When their simple point of view is
realized, much that seems idle and
valueless in ballads will take on new
and strange significance.
The martial ring of other ballads Sc
lected give stirring proof of the pa
triotic fervor Of which they were the
true expression.
The singing of Christmas carols by
a double male quartette will be one of
the most timely and interesting fea-
lures of an unusually varied and at
tractive programme.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Edgar SeIwyn in q Paramount Pic
ture and Three Acts of Vaudeville
Today.

One of the best all round shows seen
here in long time is what the Audi
torium promises for today and tomor-
row when the following three acts of
vaudeville will be on the program:
Charles Moore and company will head
the bill in big time act of unusual
merit and consisting of singing, dane
ing, and several very clever illusions,
etc. 1t might be said that the act con-
tains a little of everything, done by
three very versatile performers. The
second number will be presented by
Bernard Robinson, who does a dane
ing and acrobatic speciality and the
third by Louise and Ferera, a lady and
a gentleman who have a very nice in
Etrumental musical offering to intro
duce. The above three acts are well
varied and make up a finely balanced
bill in which everyone can find some
thing tc please his particular tastes.
On the picture program there will be
a very funny Universal comedy reel
entitled 1t Almost Happened, featur-
ing Eddie Moran of the Nestor COM
pany, and for the Paramount feature,
Jesse L. Lasky will produce the IA
nous actor, Edgar Selwyn in The
Arab, the play which Mr.. Selwyn wrote
himself and, appeared in personally in
New York city for over year. 1t is
in five parts and is a love drama of
Il youthful sheik who saves the daugh-
ter Of a missionary in Syria and pre-
vents the massacre Of the Christians.
The drama was produced by Cecil B.
DeMille, one of the best photoplay
producers in the country and has an
exceptionally good cast, including Hor-
trude Robinson and Milton Brown, all
well known stage artists. The pro-
1uction is the most spectacular ever
made by the LaSky company.
