WIN PEOPLE OF WEST
Tremendous Strides Made by Ellison
White System in Four Years

Western chautauqua people trav-
eled over $4,000 miles in 1917 en-
pertaining audiences of the Pacific
coast Yet II is only a few years
ago that it was considered an i'm
possibility to conduct chautauquas
in the far West because of the scar
city of population. long distances be-
tween towns of large size and the
excessive cost of transportation. Six
years ago not over half dozen chau-
tauquas were being conducted on the
coast, and these were small indie
pendent assemblies which were far
from successful.
In 1913 the Ellison-White chautau
qua system OF Portland, Oregon.
started a circuit of forty-two towns.
opening in California and closing in
Montana. Although appearing a
small circuit now. II seemed a hope
lessly big undertaking at that time.
Every one predicted failure. Proba-
bly, not one person in a hundred In
the West knew even the meaning OF
the word chautauqua. Railroad
jumps were long. costs were exces-
sive, but the enthusiasm of the coast
cities once awakened made up in a
way for these small things.
The following year seventy-two
towns were having chautauquas, and.
while neither year was successful
from a financial standpoint. yet they
were successful in planning solidly
the chautauqua idea.
Big Gain Last Year.
In 1916 200 we'll attended assem-
blies were conducted in the West.

The season opened at Ell Paso, Texas,
where the Rotary Club stood sponsor
for chautauqua week. With charac-
teristic energy the rotarians made 1t
an unqualified success. Prominent
clubs and organizations in the larg-
er coast cities such as Los Angeles,
Sacramento. Stockton, Ogden. Boise,
Spokane and Butte followed this lead
and the permanence Of chautauQua
was assured on the Pacific slope.
During the present year over 500
EllisonWhite chautauquas were con-
Quoted. Every town and city of any
size in the West either had chautau
qua or was within easy access of one.
Thirteen western states we're cover
ed, the season opening April IL In
Louisiana and closing Sept. 6 In
Wyoming.
Forty of this number were con-
Quoted In Canada. The Canadian cir
cult covered the four western prov
inces, coming as far east as Winni-
peg. Chautauquas were entirely new
to Canadians, but In spite OF war con-
ditions the idea was received In good
shape and the dominion has undoubt-
eddy been added permanently to the
chautauqua map.
Great Auditoriums Erected.
The largest assembly In the West
at present is held at Gladstone Park,
ABOUT twelve miles out of Portland,
Oregon. An auditorium seating 5000
people and costing $500 was built
and paid for this year by the Glad
stone Chautauqua Association. The
location is a natural park site near
the Willamette river, ideal for camp
ing, and over 1900 people lived
in tents on the seventy-five-acre
grounds during the 1917 assembly.
Average audiences of $500 were in
attendance, and on the last Sunday
with Billy Sunday as the stellar at
traction In the afternoon and James
GODDARD, Chicago grand opera basso
a night, over 5000 people spent the
day at Chautauqua.

Almost Cut Off.

Almost Cut of.
France is now almost as completely
cut off from the privilege of commerce
with her neighbors by land as is Great
Britain. To put it in the reverse, she
Is almost as dependable on shipping
as England. Before the war, accord
ing to the French ministry of marine
France imported by land 100000
tons annually, while last year her
imports by land amounted to only l.
100000. Inasmuch as the total of
imports in 1915 was a. 900 tons, the
proportion received by land is very
small indeed. Inasmuch as France Is
at present much less capable of liv-
ing within itself than Is England, by
reason of the necessity particularly to
import metals and coal, 1t may fairly
be said that France is even more de-
pendent upon maintaining her touch
with the sea than is England.
The French government is co-orerat-
ing with England in every possible
way to increase the production of new
tonnage; but Frances contribution
must necessarily be small compared
to those of England and the United
| States.
The French minister of marine said
that Great Britain would shortly have
to recall a part of the 700 vessels
| which she had lent to France. British
needs are increasing rapidly, and no
vessel will be recalled from the serv-
Ice of an ally unless it is agreed be-
tween the two countries that it is
more necessary to England than to the
| ally.
The British nation before the war
was importing 100000 tons of goods
a year, which fell to 43, 900, 900 tons In
1916 and will be considerably further
reduced this year. Before the war
foodstuffs represented less than 25 per
cent of the imports in 1915 two-thirds
of all imports consisted of foodstuffs,
munitions of war and the manufacture
of wax supplies.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot. be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars

DlETRO MORDEIIA, the great accordion player, who has appeared
1 in the Lyceum Chautauqua and vaudeville programs throughout the
country for a number of years, has been engaged to come to the To-
cal Chautauqua with a company of artists, including Jane Goding and
Mildred Saunders.
Miss Goding is a volnist of exceptional ability and Miss Saunders
soprano and dramatic reader. The company won instant success IN the
Chautauqua circuit of the Swarthmore summer Chautauquas and has
been gwen an extended engagement.
.Pietros father was one of the first makers of the piano accordion in
this country, and the son has followed in his fathers footsteps by becom-
ing one of the most famous players of this instrument. He not only
uses the accordion, but is also a expert at the piano, and the stunts he
does are of a highly humorous nature. Did you ever see a man pay a
piano with two hands and feet? No. Then hear Pietro Mordelia at

Merchant Marine Is First Line of
Naval Defense in This
War.

English F%reighters Fight U-Boats
While Neutral Craft PLY to Safe

London.-An analysis of the pres
ent status of Great Britain's merchant
Meet as affected by the war will indi-
cate more clearly than any statement
heretofore issued the extent TO which
the merchant marine has been abb
sorbed into national service under the
immediate control of the government.
There is no more emphatic proof
OF the measure in which England has
placed her resources at the disposal of
the war cause than this analysis of the
merchant fleets disposition. British
ships are working for France, for Italy,
for the unfortunate Neutral states that
would be threatened with starvation
II the allies did not help to keep them
alive. Troops, munitions, equipment,
food supplies have been brought from
all quarters of the world in British
ships, not exclusively for British con-
sumption, but for all of Britain's al
lies and for neutrals. Without the
British merchant marine the worlds
international commerce would be al
most at a standstill.
, A famous authority on shipping and
naval affairs recently pointed out that
the merchant marine has become the
first line of naval defense In this war:
n it is literally true. A majority of
merchant ships are now armed, and
therefore take the same chances as
warships. They are attacked by the
enemy on sight and they fight the en-
envy on sight.
Keep Out of Danger.
Neutral vessels have sought the less
dangerous zones of operation and ply
their trade in waters far from the Ger
man submarine bases, where they may
reasonably be certain to remain un-
molested. To the British merchant fleet
is left the uncomfortable duty of serv-
ing In those waters where submarines
are thickest, where mines are strewn,
where the Germans show the least con-
!, Germ for humanity, where every hour
and every mile represents the serious
chance of death and destruction.
The French ministry of mercantile
m2fl1e HAS lSSueu IL statement WHICH
sets forth the condition of the French
merchant fleet. 1t is stated that the
French merchant marine amounts to
81, 1877 900 tons, of which 100000 tons
has been loaned to France by Great
Britain. Thus it appears that half the
tonnage working for France is furnish
ed by Great Britain. This is particu-
larry interesting in view of the we'll
known fact that French shipping has
been dealt with rather tenderly by the
German submarines.
The greatest of French shipping cor
porations has been particularly fortu-
nate in this regard, and a curious ex-
PLANTATION of the fact Is current in both
France and England. 1t is that this
corporation represents a large invest
ment by one of the most powerful and
influential religious orders of the Ro-
man Catholic, and that the Germans
have made it a policy not unnecessarily
to give offense in this quarter. Second
ly, it Is a matter of frequent note that
certain French ships are always per-
