An Unusual Meetina for Men.

Dr. F. N. Seerley, M D., of Spring field, Mass. will be the speaker at the big mass meeting for men only in the large hall of Y. M. c. A. building at 3.45 D. m., tomorrow.
 Dr. Seerley is the popular dean of the Y. M. c. A. college at Spring field, and he has had wonderful sue cess as a speaker to men for more than twenty years; he will on this oc- casion deliver his famous lecture on personal purity, and it is expected that very large number of men will avail themselves of this rare opportunity.
 In addition to the lecture the musi cal part of the meeting will be of more than ordinary interest as a dou- ble male quartette from the Bass-Clef has kindly consented to furnish two selections, and this with Swahn's or chestra will add much to the service.
 Admission to this meeting will be strictly by ticket only, and tickets can be secured free at the Y. M. C. 4. and the central drug stores.
 Dr. Seerley will speak to boys from Il to 16 at Y. M. c. A. at p. m.

THE wIND-BARREN.

 Night is on the. downtand, on the On the hills where the wind goes over sheep bitten turf. Where the bent grass beats upon the Is unplougheds poorland-;1a And the pine woods roar like the surf. Here the Roman lived on the wind
 barren lonely, Dark now and haunted by the moor land fowl; None goes there now but the peewft And moth like death in the owl Beauty was here. on this beetle -dron- ing downland;
 The thought of a Caesar in the pur- pie came From the palace by the Tiber in the Roman -ownland To this wind-swept hill with no
 name. Lonely Beauty came here and was here in sadness, Brave as a thought on the frontier
 of the mind. Tn the camp of the wild upon the
 march of madness, The bright-eyed Queen of the Blind Now where Beauty was are the wind
 withered gorses Moaning like old men in the hill- The flying sky Is dark with running John Mansfield. in the Yale Review. And the night Is full of the past.

Metro travel series and MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew in very funny one-reel comedy entitled '"The Schemers" com pletes the bill for today.
 On Monday and Tuesday the Breed will present "The Eternal Question. the newest Metro production which presents the queen of emotional act resses, Mime. Petrova- Mime Petrova has never had a more exacting part than the one she essays in this pro ducfion, nor one which called for greater dramatic power.
 Mime. Petrova is called upon in '"The Eternal Question" not only to wear some of the elaborate and beau t1rul costumes such as always adorn her. but also to appear in the pie turesque garb of an Italian girl with a hand-organ. This will be a surprise for those who have always seen Mime. Petrova's classic beauty against a background of silks and jewels
 The play. teems with exciting inci- dents. in which race between an ocean liner and an aerop1ane figures in thrilling ydenouement The secenes vary from the humble home of the organ grinder to a ducar palace, from a prominent New York club to a grand charity ball and bazaar, with Blanca (Mme. Petrova) necessary to all the action.
 The Pathe Weekly and very funny Drew comedy completes the bill for Monday and Tuesday.

ESTABLISHMENT OF A BRITISH
 TRADE BANK IS SUGGESTED
To Deal With Financial Trade Prob
 lems After the War.

London. Oct. 20,-The most definite attempt to deal with the financial side of the trade problems that will arise after the war is proposed by the de- partmental committee which suggests the establishment of British trade bank, under royal charter, with a cap ital of ten millions sterling and a first issue of from two and half millions to five millions, a further issue being made afterwards, if possible at a pre- miuIn.
 ~The bank would not accept deposits at call or notice, and only open cur rent accounts for parties who pro- posed to make use of the overseas fa- cilities which it would afford.
 The bank would enter into banking agency arrangements with existing colonial or British foreign banks, and would have power to set up branches or agencies where no British Foreign bank of importance exists.
 Where desirable the bank would CO., operate with the merchant and manu- facturer and possibly accept risks up- on joint account, and would become a center for syndicate operations, avail ing itself of the special Knowledge which 1t would possess through it's In- formation Bureau.
 In leading up to it's conclusions the committee says that from careful study of the evidence taken and and facilities. there exist to con- siderable extent at the present time in this country tbe machinery and fa- cilities for the financing both. of home trade and of large overseas contracts and for carrying through much of the | business which hasTbeen done by for eign banks.

POPULAR LECTURES,

With contemporary history record ing the extraordinary achievements of women in activities from which they have hitherto been debarred by the prejudice of centuries. and with the growing realization of woman's value in science, in the prosessions, and in positions of great responsibility, it has seemed emtnent1y fitting that this years course should include in it's number one of the most successful of women lecturers. Mrs. Jessica Lozier Payne, who will give the second of the Slater Hall Course of Popular Leo lures on Monday evening, Is woman of rare intelligence, keenly alive to the vital questions of the day. and her lectures have rapidly gained for her a most enviable reputation. During the winter her course of lectures at Aeolian Hall, New York. the home of Walter Danrosch's New York Sym phony Orchestra, it will be remem- bered, is regularly attended by a cul- tiYated audience which numbers well toward thousand persons. Mrs. Payne spent the summer in England and France. studying particularly the effect of the war on women and their position. In both countries she had unusual opportunities for investigat- ing their work not only in the hospi- tals and Red Cross units but also in the munition plants, on farms and in countless other occupations as com mon laborers. In France Mrs Payne visit/d the battlefield of the Marne and was able to see with her own eyes something of what modern warfare means. No one who takes a live in terest in the women of the twentieth century can afford to miss this lec- ture.

POETRY
BLACK sHHEP.

From their folded mates they wander
 far,
 Their ways seem harsh and wild; They follow the beck of a baleful star Their paths are ream-begufled. - Yet haply they sought but a wider Some ah5tii ioftier mountain slope, And little recked of the country
 strange
 Beyond the gates of hope. And hap1y bell with a. turing call Summoned their feet to tread Midst the cruel rocks, where the deer
 pitfall And the lurking snares are spread. Maybe, in spite of their tameless days Of outcast liberty, E They're sick at heart for the honely
 ways . 5r Where their gathered brothers be- And oft at night. when the plains fall
 dark
 And the hills loom large ana dim, For the shepherds voice they mutely And their hearts go out to him. Meanwhile, "Rlack sheep! Black sheepr'
 we cry,
 Safe in the inner fold; And maybe they hear, and wonder why, And marvel out in the cold.

kATINkA.
Davis Theatre One Night, Wednesday,
 October 25th-Seat Sale Monday.

'Katinka." legitimate successor to "The Firefy' and High links" has been sent on tour by Arthur Hammer stein, following a year of sensational success on Broadway. and will be pre- sented at The Davis theatre Wednes- day evening, October 18th.
 ''Katinka" is the joint production of the hbrettist Otto Hauerbach and the composer Rudolf FrinL who, collabor- ated so successfully on "The Ftref1y'' for Emma Trentini, and later on High Jinks". The new composition is said to eclipse its predecessors, both in the cleverness and humor of it's lines, and in the lit and tunefulness of it's mus ic. Arthur Hammerstein, who has staged all three of the pieces, has sur passed himself according to the cri- tics and ''Katinka'' stood quite alone on Broadway last season in the gor- geous elaborateness of its scenic equip ment and the costuming of it's prin- cipals and chorus.
 The play opens in a yown in Russia where Ratinlla Is being forced into a disagreeable marriage with the DOW erful and elderly statesman Boris. Her lover. Ivan. learns thac Boris already has wife and son, on the wedding night, in the midst Of the festivities, he steals little Katinka away, and the two, accompanied by an American friend. named Hooper, set out for Tur kew in search of Mrs Boris the First. After a series of exciting and ludi- crous adventures in Old StambouI. the party learn that Mrs. Boris has gone to Vienna. and they follow her there. Tn the capital of Austrian gayety, many farcical plot complications that have arisen are ironed out.
 The feature of the musical score, which the audience whistles as it files out of the theatre after the fall of the final curtain is "Rackety Coo" the most catchy melody of a decade. A large chorus adds charm to the many other musical hits.
 Seats go on sale Monday at. 10 a. m. Prices - Lower floor, s1.50 and s1.00. Balcony, $1.50 $100 and 75 cents. Gallery 50 and 25 cents.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
An Unusual Picture Feature Coming Next Week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,.

Norwich theatre goers will be the first of the smaller town people who Wfu have the oportunity of seeing "J9ffery", William J. Locke's great story which has just been dramatized for motion pictures. It is a seven from a run at the Park theatre, Bos- ton, and will be shown for the first time at 10 and 20 cents prices. The plot deals with a man who is really in love with two women. put who thinks he loves but one, and MT. Locke calls this the unexplained sex phenomenon. It is photoplay which is cleaI throughout and will be enjoyed by all types of people.
 The story of "Jaffery" Is too we'll known to need repetition. It is suf- ficient to say that every one of the many real great situations have been faithfully reproduced. Among the most remarkable of the scenes are the meeting between Jaffrcy, Prescott and Liosha in the Balkan mountains; the discovery by Doria of her husband's S theft of the manuscript for his great novel; the emotional efforts of Jeffrey to control himself at the wedding of Doria to Adrian; the tempest-tossed freighter upon which Jaffery and Lio- Bha took their hair -brained trip; the hold of the ship when the cargo broke loose and Liosha's .astonishment at the aAieAAllS 1iltlCS Ol IIl0 Fendihook.
 A cast of unusual excellence was se- iected for the film production of "Jaf- fery." Practically every member is a star. When MT. Locke wrote "Jaffery' he constantly had one man in mind as his ideal of the character. That man is his class mate and lifelong friend, C.. Aubrey Smith. When MT. Locke agreed to make motion picture scenario of "Jaffery" he stipulated that no other actor could play "Jaf- fery'. His wishes of course were carried out.
 MT. Smith is the famous leading man of the legitimate stage. His services have been constantly in demand for parts that combine a man of giant statue and equally great dramatic power. Just before appearing in the production of "Jaffery' he was for two years, leading man with Margaret Ellington, in "The Lie" His notable screen appearance was in the leading parts in the Builder of Bridges D "John Gladys Honor" and "The Mor- Rls of Marcus"
 There will be three shows daily and the prices will not be advanced. Mat lnee 10 cents; evening. balcony 10 cents, main floor 20 cents.
