Cregation ever presented in Ashland
is putting 1t mildly. At the evening
concert trio of grand opera singers
OF unusual brillance appeared as
vocalists and added greatly to the
Charm of the entertainment.
Wednesday evening Edna Lowe,
the noted health lecturer, gave an ad-
dress on Danger Signals on the
Road to Health" Miss Lowe has
appeared before Ashland audiences
previously to this, and is one of the
finest in place upon the Chautauqua
platform. Her lecture was listened
to with interest by many who de-
rived much valuable information
from her talk.

amused ana thrilled his audience,
and kept them spell-bound with his
flashes of oratory and wit.
Lincoln Wirt's lecture was one of
the big features of the Chautauqua
at the session last night, and was
one that all patriotic Americans may
consider themselves fortunate to
have heard Mr.. Writ has been at
the battle line three times, and has
viewed the war close up. He pre-
faced his address by saying that he
was ashamed of his last appearance
in Ashland when q year ago last
fall he was here preaching peace "to
heat the band" But he has a very
different viewpoint of conditions
now, and pacifists have no place in
his sympathies
Mr.. Writ went TO the front under
the auspices of the American Red
Cross, and his tale of their accom-
rlishments is sufficient to thrill and
inspire everyone. They are reliev-

The advantage of the fighting has
rested with the allied troops, who
have pushed on northward past the
