A few years ago he was honored with
an appointment as aerial postmaster
in Chicago.
Convincing, vivid, thrilling are in
adequate words to describe the mar
rative of personal experiences OF
Lieut.. Donald H. McGibney in the
great war. This lecture takes one
to the very center OF the titanic
struggle. That a man can live thru
such dialbolical experiences-can con-
tinue, day and night, for months
amid such surroundings, to minister
to the suffering and dying, puzzles
human credulity.
When the war storm broke, this
typical young American collegian was
teacher in the Protestant college
at Beyruit, Syria, within a days
journey of the scenes of the minis
| try of Jesus of Nazareth and of the
plains where Joshua led the Israel
| ties against the heather hosts of
Canaan
Almost before he had become ac-
customed to the ways of the East,
there marched out of the historic
Mountains of Lebanon and through
the streets of Beyruit, one hundred
| and fifty thousand turbaned Mos
lens against the defenders of Suez,
that pathway of civilization, only to
meet with slaughter by the British
| veterans, and death by thirst in the
| desert. So came the conflict before
his very eyes. Although under the
protection of the frowning guns of
two great warships, a position of
comparative safety, man of Nc
Gibney's mould could not compla-
| Gently pursue his congenial calling,
with the world conffagration spread
ing by leaps and bounds. He went
to Paris, and soon became lieuten-
ant in the American Ambulance
Corps. There his duties called him

of fire. His lecture will (be illus

from photographs taken by him at

He burns a piece Of common paper

FORMALLY NOTIFIED OF HIS
WITHDRAWAIF FROM BERLIN

America.
BY KARL w. ACKERAI.AN.

BERLIN Feb. 5.-Ambassador
Gerard received the United States
governments formal telegram with
drawing him from Berlin at 10
O'Clock Sunday night. He was ex-
pected to deliver the government 5
statement To Foreign Secretary Zim-

ing.
Gerard worked until midnight Sun-
day night arranging the embassy af-
fairs and conferring with his staff,
preparatory to leaving Berlin.
Despite the fact that every German
declared that the imperial govern
ment would certainly not modify,
curtail or withdraw. its submarine
policy, nevertheless. there are num-
bcr of Americans here who continue
to believe that war will not follow
tho diplomatic break. Many of these
Americans expect to stay in Germany
and they rely ON the Prussian treaty
to permit them to arrange their own
business affairs. Many of them had
planned to go to Denmark or Norway
and had expected to leave there for
America as soon as ships are avail
able.
Americans, for the most part, are
calm.
1t was stated today that Ambas-
sador Gerard will not leave Germany
before Thursday.
