CAPTAIN LESLIE VICKERS.

Noted Captain of the British Army and
Military Instructor at Columbia Uni
versity to Lecture at Local Chautau-
qua.
Probably the most thrilling lecture
eve presented here will be that of
Captain Leslie Vickers of the Royal
Scotch Fusileers, who will be the star
attraction on the Chautauqua program.
Captain yickers was pastor of a
church in this country at the outbreak
of the war, but at the first call of his
mother country returned to England
and enlisted in the cavalry. After the
first few months it became evident that
the cavalry would have to serve as d
dismounted branch in the service, and
Mr.. Vickers became captain In the
crack body of troops, the Scotch Fusi-
leers. where he served with great dis
tinction during the succeeding two
years of the war. He was wounded

German bullet in his body.
Columbia University was quick to
seize the opportunity to make him in
%struetor in military science at the
American declaration of war, when so
many of her students were preparing
for officerships in the United States
army.
2 Captain Vickers lectured for a series
Of twenty lectures on the summer Chau-
tauqua circuits of the Swarthmore
Chautauqua Association. making such a
deep impression that he was considered
one of the distinct finds of the season,
and he was Immediately engaged for
the entire season of the winter Chau-
tauqua. He will lecture here on the
subject Life In the Trenches"

produced some of the most interesting
material for a traveller lecturer which
the public has had opportunity to
listen to.
At the outbreak of the present great
val he had gone to Servia to study the
Balkan situation, which was visibly
growing tenser every moment, and he
was in the capital of that state when
the heir to the Austrian throne and his
consort were assassinated at Sarajevo
When war was declared by Germany
and the Huns started their advance
through Belgium, the French troops
bravely fighting them back, he was one
of the earliest men to be commissioned
to visit the front and study the wal in
most modern form. At the time he was
reporting for Leslie's Weekly and had
unusual facilities for visiting even the
first line of trenches. His experiences
were varied to a high degree. At one
time he was arrested as n spy and re-
leased only upon presentation Of a let
ter signed by Theodore Roosevelt. AT
other times he was accorded the high
est courtesy. so that he was enabled to
collect a rare set of photographs from

ONE of the most cheerful programs on the coming Chautauqua will
~ be that of the Columbia Male Quartet. This group of young college
fellows toured a Western Chauauqua circuit throughout the sum-
mer, intending at the end of the season to return to their university, but
their success was so marked that they were persuaded to make an en-
gagement for the winter months. The personnel includes Marshall Scott,
Frank McVey, Fay Scott and Vincent MacGregor.
The latter is especially good at comedy roles and representations.
His work in putting o n some of the great hits of Harry Lauder in High
land costume is reported is exceptionally fine.
The program they present will consist largely of American songs.
The old time songs are not to be forgotten, but emphasis will be placed
on the e songs which are daily springing up since our country has cast
its lot into the war. Chautauqua patrons are therefore promised a most
unusual treat in the work of these young men.
