 LECTURE TONIGHT
 SHOWING TROPHIES

The French gas mask will be de- | scribed in lecture to be given by | Lieutenant J. A. Crozier at the high ! school auditorium tonight. There will l be on display a large collection of war 1 trophies and flags among which will be 1 the flags of the various provinces of the Dominion and a statement as to their populations and their contribu- tions to the war.
 There will be on the stage the as sistants of Lieutenant Crozieri Ser geant J. E. Mitchell of the 77th Sea forth Higlanders and Sergeant Dunlop Of the Inland Water Transport. Oth- CTS who will be on the stage will be state and city officials and represent atives of the various fraternal and other organizations of the state. The G. A. R. and Womans Relief Corps and the Spanish war veterans will be pres- ent with their stands of colOrs. The lecture will be preceded by a parade. The meeting will be presided over by Harry R. Tritle.
 The lecture will be free but those who wish to attend will have to be prompt, for under a good rule devised by Billy Sunday, the audience cannot drift in at unreasonable hours to the disturbance of those who are already there. The doors will be opened at 1880 and will be closed at o'clock after which admission will be denied. The Indian School band has been secured for the occasion. It will head the pa rade and lead it to the auditorium.
 It is expected that there will be a l large attendance for since announce ment was made of the presence in the city Of Lieutenant CroZia representing the British Recruiting mission, he has received many messages from former Canadians and British. He took two enllstments early yesterday morning at the headquarters of the mission at the U. $. Recruiting station.
 The subject of the main lecture-he calls it his pet lecture-is Why Cana da is Loyal' Besides he will speak of conditions in France and the in- formation he will disclose will be not only interesting but valuable to Amer ican boys who in the course of the war will be sent across.
 The talk on the gas mask will be a particularly interesting one. This de- vice was hurriedly prepared by the l French to meet the devilish invention of the German gas. Later the Ger mans offered another gas worse than all, the tear gas" which destroys the l off.
 It is not generally known that the state of Texas furnished the basis for this hideous gas. There is a plant there locally known as the "tear plant, D because of the effect of the odor or juice of it upon the eye, though no preparation of it had even been made that caused blindness. It remained for German scientists to make that dis covery. For seven years before the war Germany had imported large quantities of it, but their heaviest i'm portations were made in the first sev- enteen months of the war. The plant grows nowhere else in the United States and so far as is known, mo- where else in the world.
 Lieutenant Crozier will lecture at the Indian school on Monday at II. 30 o'clock and again at 1:30. He will leave on Monday night for Tucson whence he will visit Globe and Clifton and other points in the south He will have general charge of recruiting fo1 the British service in this state. Al each point sergeants will be stationed
