UNDER THE CHAUTAUQUA TENT

The lecture by DR.. NJ. G. Hardin
a preacher of Chicago, last night
was plea for peace and a scathine
denunciation of the administration
preparedness program. He depicted
the horrors of the European war in
vivid colors and declared it the
acme of insanity. 1t would be sheer
folly, he said, for America to enter
on a military program thinking that
would bring peace. He declared that
the sudden scare over invasion last
winter and spring was worked up by
the munition makers and was a deep
political game to make money. The
audience was with him apparently
as he received hearty applause at
frequent intervals.
j. Adam Bede, who gave an in
teresting and humorous address yes
terday afternoon on Problems and
Progress was a member of con-
gress from Minnesota for several
years. There is little doubt of
Hughes election" said he to the
Reflector this morning. I'VE have
been all over the country and ex-
cept in the solid south there is
general dissatisfaction with Wilson
as a weak and time serving presi-
dent without any fixed principles
except to do whatever looks as
though it would bring votes. The
west is strong against him and it
looks like an overwhelming victory
or the Republicans Mr.. Bede clos
I'd the season at Wamego this af-
ernoon, his 10TH lecture.
Those who said it could not be
lone selling enough tickets to pay
he guaranty-are invited to discuss
he matter with DR.. Dutton. The
guaranty is now exceeded by about
800 and that will be nucleus for
he coming next year session.

One fine thing about the chau-
auqua this year has been that it
las been managed to give the full
st service to the town. The children
ave been given several free enter
ailments and the business men have
cen given one that was helpful and
together it has been big town
flair that appealed to the entire
ommunity. Next year it will be
in line early for it.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak of the war.
Production had decreased, busi-
ness was languishilg. new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the I'M
healthy stimulus Of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition OF an energized
Europe?
II is plain that we must have
protective upbuildlng policies.-

.ARMY'S JUNIOR OFFICERS IN VAR
 TO COME FROM UNIVERSITIES

PRINCETON, N. J., April 1.-The universities of the country would have to supply the big demand for junior officers in the army in the event of the United States becoming involved in war, according to Capt. Gordon Johns- ton of General Woods staff Captain Johnston, who is in charge of the move ment to enroll men at the Plattsburg camp. holds that it is the duty of American college men to set an example for the country by an exhibition of loyalty and patriotism at the present time.
 He declares in an article in the Daily Princetonian that the only means for preparing the average citizen for - the duties of an officer now offered in this country is through the medium of the training camps. He writes:
 I came back to Princeton as graduate and as an officer in the United States army to get in touch with the undergraduates again. Not with a view of debating preparedness or of discussing armament or disarmament of the military forces of the United States, but with a very deep concern that the undergraduates should be fully informed as to the serious issue before the country today and should take a stand worthy of the traditions of Princeton
 At this time when all signals set by the experts indicate danger ahead, when Washington is most evidently under the stress of grave complications, and even the women of the country, moved by some mysterious instinct of warning, are beginning to prepare bandages and hospital supplies, it is no time to quibble on points of in ternational law or be distracted by opinionated views of world politics It is time for all of us each for himself, to decide that as for me and mine I will Loyalty stand ready to serve my country if needed
 If Princeton has a right to exist or to endure it is because she has planted high ideals in each of her sons. Every drop of good blood and every bit of that stuff men call character demands of us loyalty to those ideals, loyalty to the ideals of friendship, truth honor, Christianity above all and loyalty to the ideals of our own coun- try If the institutions founded on these ideals are in jeopardy, however, 'remote the danger may be, it is the duty and obligation of every man to stand ready to do his part.
 Bearing in mind that every man who is physically fit" writes Captain Johnston, "between the ages of eigh- teen and forty y-five and an American citizen is already by Federal statute d member of the military forces of the United States, there is certainly no argument as to the clear -cut duty of such men to prepare themselves to- render efficient and effective service The only means for this preparation

AUGUSTA TEAM WINS.
Visitors Triumph in Vollcyball Con-
test at y. Nj. G. A. Gymnasium.

In four hard fought games of VOL
lcyball last night the visiting cohorts
LOT Augusta defeated the Gamecocks,
winning three games in succession in
q contest for the best three out Of
five games. The games were all close,
however, and both teams put up some
magnificent playing before the referee
could name the victors.
Van Quentin of Augusta was the
Individual star of the game. This
long rGngy lad could reach over the
eight foot net, as easily as most VOL
lcyball players could cover a six foot
net. He showed indefatigable energy
and his method Of slamming the ball
down ever the net was an eye-opener
to many Of the local players.
The whole six played together we'll
and they had to go some at hat too
to beat the locals. who were favored
by being OF their own floor and hav-
Ing lights to which they were accus-
TONED.
or the Sumter team David Doar
made the greatest number Of points.
He played a fine game and with
Levi asa-HaH did the best forthe
locals. Richardson also played we'll.
The Sumter men. save in the first
game. did not show as good team
work as they are capable Of, and in
the last game they seemed to lose
heart.
The refereeing of Physical Direc-
tor White of Augusta, for two years
physical director Of Sumter, did not
seem ii please or satisfy the players
Or spectators and there was much
criticism Of his decisions.
There was a good crowd of enthus-
iastic volleyball fans and their lady
friends on the sidelines, who cheered
enthusiastically for the locals.
