Arthur walwyn Evans, an Chautau-
qua Program. Tells What Ameri.
ca Means Ia Him

Every person who attended Chau-

their entire season ticket In the lee

nephew OF Premier Lloyd George Of
England. Mr.. Evans Is a thorough
~ Americanized welshman who is
on the circuit TO tell the people what
America means TO him.
In telling them what II meant to
him, he also. no doubt, Is the spokes-
man for some millions OF other men
a. we'll m women who have made
this the land Of their adoption. He
also told many who are Americans
by birth Just what II should mean to
them.
Evans mannerisms smack OF Brit
ish birth. but his expressions are so
typically American that he Is either
very apt pupil or he was born In
the wrong country. As baseball
fan he ought TO be able to pull a
losing team out OF any sort Of hole
into which II had fallen; as a
straight from the shoulder exhorter
he would run Billy Sunday a close
race: ms a platform spellbinder he
was not TO be outclassed by the elo-
quence OF the silver tongued Bryan
who appeared on the same platform
only a few hours before.
America Means Fraternity
Summed up In one word" said
Evans. America means to me frater-
nifty. spelled with a capital F. II Is
a fraternity built upon the amalga-
nation OF the Britain, the Swede. the
Frenchman. the Italian, the Jew. In
fact the liberty loving element OF
