BISHOP VINCENT

John Heyl Vincent, Methodist
Episcopal bishop but chiefly famous
as the father of the Chautauqua
movement, was born eighty-five years
ago today in Tuscaloosa, Ala. His
early life was spent in Pennsylvania,
and at eighteen he began to preach,
and occupied pulpits in Maryland and
New Jersey for several years. At
the age Of twenty five he was trans
ferred to Joliet, Ill, and also occupied
pulpits in Galena, Rockford and Chi
cago, becoming the founder and edi-
tor of Sunday school publications in
the latter city. He was known as an
able and eloquent camp meeting ex-
horter, and a gifted editor, until 1874,
when he had the Great Idea that was
to make his name forever memorable.
The Rev. Vincent-he y was not
made a bishop until 1S8SAobserved
that the Methodist camp meeting was
losing it's hold on the people. The
old time religion, as exemplified at
these gatherings of the faithful, was
giving way before new ideas and as
pirations. Seeking something to take
the place Of the camp meeting, he
fostered the project of a summer
school and camp for Sunday school
teachers of all Protestant denomina-
tons, where they could enjoy vaca-
ton and at the same time gain new
inspiration and further training for
their work
In putting this plan into effect the
clergyman had the assistance of
Lewis Miller, wealthy business
man of Akron, o. Camp grounds
were purchased at Fair Point, on
Chautauqua Lake, New York, and the
first meeting was held in 1874 The
Rev. Vincent and Mr.. Miller soon
decided that the project, in order to
succeed, needed a wider scope, and in
1878 the minister founded the Chau-s
tauqua, Literary and Scientific Circle.
Eventually similar meetings, all TAX
ing the name of Chautauqua, were
held in other places, the programs
were given greater popular appeal,
until in the course of time the Chau-
tauqua became a great national in
stituticn. For "a time clergymen
monopolized the Chautauqua plat
form, but now celebrities of all
known varieties, from reformed BAN
dts and vaudeville performers up to
William Jennings Bryan, are "book-
ed" on the various Chautauqua cir
cults.

LINE OF ADVICE TO BE
GIVEN THE EMPEROR

Copenhagen, Oct. 24--Leaders OF
the reichstag parties except the Con
seryatives and extreme Socialists
who began a series of confidential
conferences ON the chancellorship
crisis in Berlin yesterday seem as far
as indications in newspaper reports
gave any clue, to be attempting to
unite on the line of advice to be given
Emperor William should he decide to
consult them regarding a change in
chancellors.
Apparently the conferees have es-
tablished no unity of purpose and the
number of conditions mentioned does
not seem to have decreased. The
Center and National Liberal members
differ sharply with the Socialists and
a section of the radicals regarding
infringing upon the thrones preroga-
tive in the selection of the chancellor.
Prince Won Buelow continues to re-
ceive hard knocks from the press Of
the left partise who have raked up the
inconsistency of Matthias Erzbreger,
the Centrist leader, in supporting a
candidate whom he did the utmost to
GUST from office before. The similar
inconsistency of the conservative de-
tenders Of the Divine Right" is point
ed to in their attempt to force upon
the emperor the appointment of a
man towards whom he holds a grudge.

General Pershing accompanied one
of the French generals yesterday as
far as the second German line in the
French attack on the Aisne front. Gen.
eral Pershing was with General
Franchet D'Esperey at first observing
the attack from a favorable post some
distance in the rear of the French
front lines. Then General Pershing
suggested going into the French
trenches.
This they did, but General Perish
ing was not satisfied and went on
through the shellfire into the first
line of the captured German trenches
and then into the second line. Cen
eral Pershing's imperturbable attitude
during this time is the talk of the
French army. The American general
afterwards went with General Franch-
ct D'Esperey to General Petain's head
quarters and was present when Gen.
eral Franchet DEsperey gave the
commander-in-chief a detailed report
of the successful attack.

Smashing against the German lines along a six-mile front
northeast of Scissors, the French have made important gains
from the German crown prince.
The sudden blow also brought the French 5000 prisoners
and twenty-five heavy and field guns. General Petain COM
pleted an effective step toward Laon, the southern extremity
of the Hindenburg line, and an important railroad center
which lies ten miles northeast of Chavignon where the French
advance attained its greatest d~eptl-two and one-ffth miles.
The heights dominating Dargny- Filain, at the extreme right,
were seized and French guns now can batter the Germans on
the hills on the opposite side of the Ailette river from Chav-
ignon. More important still, they can pour an enfiading fire
into the forces of the German crown prince still on the north

Petrograd, Tuesday, Oct. 23.--In an
emotional address to the preliminary
parliament today, Premier Kerensky
appealed to the delegates to endeavor
to arouse in the people the same
sense Of individual responsibility at
the front and in the rear which car
ried the Russians to victory for q time
in the post revolutionary offensive
early in July. The premier deplored
the present Generalization of the
army.
"If only we could rekindle the en-
thusiasm of these July days in the
heart Of each man." he said, 1--WE
should have peace by Christmas, an
honorable peace for free Russia, with
the war fought to IN honorable end"
The premier talked an hour, run
ming the gamut of emotions from
despair to hope. He was %applauded on
all sides.
owe are not fighting for political
ends but for the very existence of
Russia" declared he.
1.-THE army in the trenches seems
to have lost the sense Of duty and
honor, although at some places it is
filled with a new spirit. The batteries
on Oesel Island gave up without a
struggle, while the little Dago Island
forces fought bravely."
M. Kerensky defended the govern
ment against charges made by M.
Markoff, radical, who blamed officers
for the Generalization Of the army
and limited at monarchial plots.
He said that the Korniloff revolt
vas not monarchical but a mere at
tempt at a dictatorship as was the
Bolchevik revolt OF July.
Peace has been postponed by the
d~isintegration of the army by forces
which are continuing the work Of the
old regime" he said.
The News states that Premier
Kerensky probably will relinquish the
post of commander-in-chief of the
Russian armies to General Boukhonin
at the end of the week.

Valentino is known jokingly as "the
