After three years Of war. Canada
took on many chautauQuas last year
because Of the great message the
chautauqua carried, and the people
were glad to relieve the terrible
strain that was on their minds.
More chautauguas are in Canada
now that ever before. To do effective
work our minds must have a change
and receive inspiration. The chau-
tauqua will do this.
Mr.. Kuhn, the fourteen day man

system met with the local Chau-

and the various committees were
chosen. Mr.. Kuhn was much i'm

Emperor look as he stood beside
Gerard taking his last look at the
British fleet?
That evening there was a dinner
to the admirals of the British fleet
The Kaiser could not bring himself
to attend. He sent his brother
Prince Henry. who closed his toast
to the visitors with the remark:
I'VE are sorry you are leaving
and sorry you came"
So little did the diplomats be-
lieve there was danger of war that
most Of them were going on vaca-
ton when the first warning came
in the refusal of Serbia to accept
Austdia's terms and the Russian de-
Termination to back up Serbia.
Back to Berlin hurried the
Kaiser.
The moment was at hand when all
the years of war preparation would
bear their dread fruit.
The events of the days that led to
the beginning of the great war are
filled with dramatic import. On
the night of the twenty-ninth OF
July, Sir Edward Goschen called or
Hollweg and the famous interview
took place regarding England and
her neutrality. The most striking
part is the proposal by Hollweg that
England would stand by while the
French colonies were taken and
Frence beaten. so long as French
territory was not taken"

PRES. WILSON
APPROVES. OF. II, |!
=. CHAUTAunUAi

Already some local people like in
every other town have expressed
themselves that the Chautauqua
should not come because of the war
conditions. In the beginning of the
season the various chautauqua
arrangements knew that these OBJ
jections would come so they got an
expression from President wilson on
the matter. Following Is : copy of
the letter sent by President Wilson
to Mr.. Montaville Flowers, president
Of the International Lyceum and
Chauauqua Association;
The White House
4 Washington,
December IA. 1917.

make Sir Edward Goschen agree
that England will not interfere II
the neutrality of Belgium is violated.
Goschen refuses and both men know
the break is near.
On July 81 "Kriegsgefahruzu-
stand" or Condition Of danger of
war" was proclaimed at Z D. m. and
Russia notified that she must de-
mobilize within twelve hours.
Gerard meets the French ambas-
|sador. Jules Cambon and Sir. Edward
Goschen. They are very depressed.
Acting on my own responsibility, -
he says, Il sent the following letter
to the Chancellor:

do? Nothing that l can do toward
