The address of Henry W. Anderson
before packed house in the audito-

Christian Association marked the
opening of the greater mems meetings
for the winter. MI. Anderson held
his audience in Il really remarkable
manner for over one hour and then
the audience was very willing to have
him continue indefinitely.
Few Americans, If any, have had
the actual insight into the conditions
that now prevail in war-stricken Eu-
rope. and especially on the western
front. The speaker dwelt at length
upon the fighting on the Somme. He
was the guest of both the British and
French governments,
He also told briefly of the splendid
service now being rendered by the
y NJ. G, A. on the various fronts.
This work he said had the hearty
support and approval of the govern
ments and was considered well-nigh
indispensable by the men.
A special feature which added much
to the interest of the great audience
was the various relics picked up upon
the battlefield, including helmets OF
all the three western nations at war
with hand and rife grenades and gas
protectors worn by the soldiers
