Southern Italy and Sicily
Described by Lecturer

Southern italy and Sicily formed the
subject OF the final 1916 travel lecture by
Dwight l.. Elmendorf, at the National
Theeter, yesterday afternoon. Views OF
quaint and charming scenes In these
sunny lands were shown in colored
slides and motion pictures in wide
variety.
Starting at Naples. where Italian city
types were shown, the lecturer escorted
his audience toward the south. stopping
frs: for views Of Mt. Vesuvius and the
ruins of Pompeii. with a brief excursion
to the curious little island OF Capri.
Crossing over into sicily, compre-
hensive view was had Of modern life
on the. island. and a glimpse given OF
that OF centuries ago, through pictures
of the ruins of the Greek temples. which
remain in fair state Of preservation.
Palermo and ancient Syracuse were the
chief cities visited, and the classic ruins
In the vicinity of the latter reminded
one OF Athens or Rome.
Particularly interesting were the pic
turcs of the Blue Grotto, and the mo-
ton picture OF flow Of molten lava
and steam from Mt. EtnR. Colored
studies OF Italian and Sicllian flowers
added the final Elmcndorf touch to the
lecture.

SAYS GERMANS SEEK PEACE.
Writer Details Hope of People War
viii Have a Speedy End.

That the vast majority of the Ger
man people is anxious to have the Ger
man government enter into peace ne
gotiations at once is the assertion made
by the British correspondent of the
Arbeitzer-Zeitung of Vienna, in a war,
anniversary article that was passed by
both the German and Austrian censors,
to the great establishment of the Lon
don newspapers that quote it to show
the war WEAKNESS existing in Germany.
The war began, says the correspond
ent, as "war of peoples.' sort
of fury seized upon "all heads, which
were not strong in international under
standing. 1t was a frenzy! Nay, mad
ness!" Mutual fear and suspicion had
become excited to fever pitch.
Through popular passions the war had
the character of a war of the peoples. -
1t no longer has that character, he de-
clares and continues:
'Thc longer the war has lasted the
more it has become war of states.
One could have prevented the war if
only one had the peoples ON one S
side. One can only bring the war to
| close before its natural end. e., uni
versal eXhaustion-if in this matter one
has the state on one s side. That is
the problem; the pacific portion of the
peoples have to impose their will upon
the state at time when Che peoples
as such do not exist for the state.
AT the head of the states stand the
statesmen, the governments. These
must keep the war going, for they fear
for their own futures unless they bring
home victory after such nameless sac
rifices. What is to be done? Revolu-
ton! The machinery of the state would
crush it in the germ.
"What then remains? Nothing but
steady work, which sets itself to con
vert the general will for peace into
such a will on the part of the states.
$50 far as obstacles to peace exist
in Germany, we must unite all our
strength to sweep them away. The an
nexation enthusiasts are misjudging
the reality of things, and are doing
harm where they wish to do useful ser
vice. They do not possess the decisive
influence for which they are striving,
but it is urgent that they should be
suppressed still further"
