PLEADS
FOR COMRADSH!P

A plea for better understanding and
truer comradeship among nations was
made in his lecture Thursday evening
by Arthur Walywn Evans, Welsh lee
turer
Evans, who Is a nephew Of David
Lloyd-George, the English premier,
showed how ever nation in the world
had been trained in distrust Of its
neighbors, and how national pride and
arrogance was at the bottom of every
dissension.
He praised the American melting
pot, but denounced the American spirit
Of distrust and contempt toward GER
tain classes Of foreigners.
"Over there it's who goes there, and
that's the countersign," he said
Evans skillful use of American
slang kept his audience roaring at
times. and his realistic description Of
an English fan pulling for hit by the
German third-sacker of the Reds,
Heinie Groh, brought down the house
He praised the spirit of trusts and
cooperation between America and
Canada, and compared with the sus,
ptcion and distrust between the Eu-
ropean nations before the war broke
out, and pleaded for the extension of
the American-Canadian spirit to the
world.

CHECKERS"

There's some folks laughs at check
ers; says it's tame,
And they call us fellers grannies tharu
play it.
But you'll notice that the ones what
say 1t
Amt never them that's ever played
the game!
For it keeps teller humpin'
When the other guys a-jumpin',
And his burned ole men are start
in out as kings!
O. course, it amt no riot,
A Teller must sit quiet,
But for 'citement, checkers beats
a heap O. things!
They say the high-class sharks have
fingered it
Out moves and all, an everything
But If l git to heaven, though /
doubt 1t,
want to reach that section where
they sit.
Out beneath the maple trees
With a board upon their knees.
An a cracker-jack to play with,
every day.
An if checker-champs don't go
Up above, but down below,
I'll hit for them and find 'em, and
I'll stay!"

EVANS HAS Been
NEARLY ALL over

Arthur Walwyn Evans, who lectured
Thursday night, is only thirty-one, but
he is true cosmopolitan.
Evans has been travelling since he
was twenty-four. He has been in Aus
tralia, New Zealand. all the countries
of Europe. all over the American con-
tinent, and in ever part of England.
Seventy-five thousand miles, three
times around the world, Evans has
reeled off on his lecture tours in the
last year, from Main to California and
from Saskatchewan to the Mexican
border.
"One audience talked to was COM
posed of ranchmen, cowboys, United
States troops, from colonies to pri-
Yates, Mexicans, Japs, Chinese, Ne
groes. and Indians. And the week be-
fore ! was in Boston. lecturing before
women's clubs" said Evans. Il have
lectured 285 nights in the last year"
Tremendous relief was felt in Eng
land and France when America came
into the war. said Evans. and the dig
nifty of American craftsmanship had
been greatly enhanced in Europe be-
cause of the high-minded attitude and
able expression of that attitude, taken
by President Wilson.

Nchter's Home is
Damaged by Fire

Fire, believed to have been due to
an overheated cooking stove, caused
considerable damage to the home of
Frank Nichter, corner South Sixth and
E streets, shortly after noon today.
A mix-up in the fire-alarm signals
caused several of the fire wagons to
be late in arriving at the scene of the
blaze, and the damage caused was
much greater than it might have been
had the fire department come directly
to the blaze. The amount of damage is
not known.
