DIR, v. I. FOSTER WILL
SPEAK TW|CE|N MOSCOW
HEAD OF REED COLLEGE WILL
< RELATE EXPERIENCES GAINED
ABROAD

Two addresses are to be delivered in
Moscow, Thursday by DR.. William
Trufant Foster, president of Reed
college, according to announcement
Just made from the office of President
Ernest H .Lindley of the university.
The first. an assembly talk, will be
given in the university auditorium,
Thursday morning at II o'clock and
the second will be an evening ad-
dress.
President Foster who is understood
to be one of the ablest public speakers
in the northwest, has but recently re-
turned from the western front, where
he inspected all the varying details OF
Red Cross work now being carried on
in northern France and in Belgium
as a member of a commission of six
men representing the American war
council of the mercy organization.
His address, based entirely on first
hand experience, is said to be as
forceful as it is vivid and interesting.
1t has been decided to have DR..
Foster deliver his evening address at
the University of Idaho auditorium al
so. This is because he has a number
of unusually fine pictures that he will
wish to show in connection with his
lecture and the university auditorium
offers the best facilities for this. The
lecture will be free, it will begin at
the usual time and the public iS~cor-
daily invited.

Workers Take Risks.
Since drafted men have been com.

carpenters to tumble on buildings
They seem to think It is a patriotic
duty to shout a welcome to every
little group of new comers, and they
take desperate, needless risks. Few
bones are broken in this soft sand
Many Of these carpenters have sons
in uniform or to be called. One griz

a son. The past tense tells the whole
