President Wilson
and Chautauqua

"Your speakers, going from COM
munity to community, meeting people
in the friendly spirit engendered by
years of intimate and understanding
contact, have been effective messeng-
ers for the delivery and Interpretation
of democracy's meaning and impera-
tive needs. The work that the Chau-
tauqua is doing has not lost import
ance because of war, but rather has
gained new opportunities for service.
Let me express the hope that you
will let no discourag cement weaken
your activities, and that the people
will not fail in the support of a patri-
otto institution that may be said to be
an integral part of the national de-
fense."

Chautauqua
In War Time
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.

Chautauqua is peculiarly an Ameri-
can institution.
There was never anything like it, in
Europe or elsewhere.
Nobody invented it 1t was not de-
vised. 1t just grew.
Its roots run deep into the Ameri-
can character. They 90 down TO the
old Saxon Witenagemot, the New Eng
land Town Meeting and the Methodist
Camp Meeting.
Its idea is that of free assemblage
OF sovereign people, every soul q
king, every man looking upon the prob
lens of the world, its governments ana
its morals, with a disposing eye.
To this is added the greatest of
American enIhuSlaSmS, Education.
The American people are always at
school. They conceive of Educa tlOn,
not as the privilege of the few, but
as the duty of the many, not alone for
gentlemen and scholars, teachers and
the learned professions, but also for
Every Man, Every Woman, Every
Child.
So the Farmers, Merchants, Clerks,
Housewives, Laborers, together with
Preachers, Lawyers and Doctors, gath
er as one great commons, to listen to
the discussion of those vast issues that
once were the secret themes of kings
cabinets, TO discuss, to form intelligent
opinion, fearlesSly to decide, unafrald
to take their part in the councils OF
demacrOcy.
In War Time Chautauqua may be Of
invaluable service. Battles are Won
not only by soldiers at the front, but
also by the spirit of the people at
home. Equipped by long preparation
in times of peace, the Chautauqua
camps all over the country are now
prepared, as is no other agency, to
keep the home fires burning" to main
tain that intelligent patriotism, that
clear understanding of what we are
fighting for, that indomitable resolu-
ton to win that cheerfulneSs and cour-
age which are needed in order to make
America 100 per cent efficient in her
gigantic task of making the world
safe for democracy"
President Wilson justly terms Chau-
tauqua IAN integral part of the nation
al defense"
!. Never before has Chautauqua meant
what it is going to mean in 1918. Here,
in the free air of discussion Will be
blown away the subtle poison gas OF
German propaganda. Here the great
Common People will be lined up 10
support, not in blind subseryiency, but
in discriminating loyalty, the govern
ment. Here viii all good causes find
reinforcement. Here will the greatest
crisis that ever was imposed upon the
world be made to fuse the hearts of
our people into sturdy loyalty.
The hosts of Chautauqua this year
will come 10 their places of assembly,
in no rhetorical sense, but with true
and earnest reality,
Marching as to War,
With the Cross Of Jesus
Going on before"

fill a wide-mouthed bottle nearly full
of hot water, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Thrust the injured part
over the mouth and press it slightly.
The flesh will be drawn down and
shortly the splinter win be exposed
under the action Of the steam. This
method is far better than the common
and dangerous practice Of pricking the
flesh with pin or knife point. The

traction at the Opera House, next Monday.
1t comes as climax to soul-stirring
story of war and love with the great world
conflict now raging as the background. The
young and beautiful wife of an officer of
the American Legion of the Canadian ex-
peditionary forces, violating an iron-clad
rule of the War Office, DISCUSSES herself as
a nurse and goes to visit her husband at
the front Through the Vaccination of
cowadly officer, once sutton for her hand
her presence and her husband s knowledge
of it is exposed.
Husband and wife are arrested and Or
dered before a court martial with the
knowledge that their trial can result in
nothing short of the verdict prescribed for
every such violation Of the regulations
death before firing squad. Rather than
see his bride suffer such a fate her hus-
band shoots her with his service revolver,
and she falls at his feet breathing her
gratitude with Thank you my husband"
Motion picture critics who have seen
advance showings Of For the Freedom of
the World are unanimous in proclaim.
