LAUDER FORSAKES
COMEDY TOPREACH
GOSPEL Of WAR

NEW YORK. Oct 13-Harry Lau-
der-not the scrsamingly funny
Scotch actor OF other and happier
years, but Harry Lauder, apostle Of
unrelenting war against the Hun
came back to the United States yes
terday. He has brought no new and
weird Highland costumes. The Job
that he has In hand Is best done in or
nary costume. He has brought no
new songs. The stories he has to
tell do not lend themselevs TO music.
The wondrously carved and knotted,
walking stick with which he used to
accompanied him this trip.
He has another mascot and en-
blsm OF his mission. In an old to-
bscco tin he carries a six-inch length
Of rusted bsrbed wire. From one Of
the pronEs dsnEles a frayed bit of
wlrk. green cloth.
That wire was once q part Of the
German trench defenses in front Of
Arras. That bit Of tartan is all tht re-
pains OF one lusty Highlander Of the
famous Black Watch, who went1
over the top" with the rest OF his
regiment on April 9. and q few min
utes later hung dying on the barbed
wire.
To Lecture on war.
With this grim relic as his only
property, Harry Lauder will tour the
United States and Canada, lectufinK
on the war, which, in his Opinion.
cannot end until the Germans are
beaten to earth.
He is not the comedian of former
l days. The war and the sorrovfui
burden which Britain has to bear
nave stripped him Of much of his
nun. leaving only wrath.
HIS only son, Captain Lauder, Of
ers, was killed in action on De-
cember, 2s. 1915. That Is one reason
why Harry Lauder Is not coming here
a. laugh-naker this year,
Yet, for all his desire that Germany
be crushed, he Is Hefcely eager that
the people OF the United States should
not come to regard themselves as the
rescuers Of mankind because of their
Intervention in the war.
Fight Own BattlAH.
Don't for q moment think that you
are going to Eight the battIss OF Eng

ed, you are going to fight your own
battles, by Godl"
'Dp you know what the men in the

Lauder has recently spent a week be-
hind the lines. They say The world |

The facts are far different. The Will

that fiscal year. For, only three fiscal
years have the Wilson postal manag;

Men are Mortified at the disregard
