LYNDEN WILL HEAR
MANY WAR LECTURES
Many Distinguished Speakers To APP
July

Lyndens big Chautauque. July Z
to 13, will have this year a program
that is replete with war interest, ac-
cording to tho first announcement OF
the complete program this week.
President Wilson has strongly en-
dorsed the Chautauqua in a letter
saying, Lei me express the hope
that you will let no encouragement
weaken your activities and that the
people will not fail in the support OF
a patriotic institution that may be
said to be an integral part Of the
national defense" That the other
officials of Washington are of the
same mind is evidenced by the fact
that the Government has requested
special lecturers to be sent over ev-
cry Chautauqua circuit in the United
States.
Probably the most important gov
ernment-acquired lecturer to appear
on the weeks program will be Lin
coin L. Kirt, war correspondent di-
rect from the Western Front. He
was sent by the government solely to
obtain information on the actual con-
ditions in Europe and to present 1t
to Chautauqua audiences. He sailed
for Europe February 13, and brings
the last word from the war zone,
dealing chiefly with Persing and the
boys" in the American section of the
line.
The u. S. Food administration, un-
der the direction of Herbert Hoover.
is seading a food demonstration to
Chau.auqua on the morning Of the
last day to present new recipes and
manners of conserving food which
have been evolved in the government
kitchens at Washington. This dem
onstration will be free to everyone.
Another lecturer commissioned by
Washington. DR.. c. J. Bushnell, who
will be in constant touch with the
Bureau of Information, will be pres
ent at Chautauqua, and will discuss
our war problems, as seen by the gov
ernment, on this side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the most thrilling and in
teresting war lecture of the week will
be that given by Capt. ]. M. de Beau
fort of the Belgian Artillery. Capt.
de Beaufort is the author of Behind
the German Veil" one of the best
sellers among the present year war
books, now in its seventh edition.
Bearing a letter from Won linden
burgs nephew, which acted as
magic passport, he spent four months
in Germany, visiting naval and Yep
pelin bases, the Russian Front, and
interviewing many of the big Germ
an military leaders, including Won
Hindenburg.
Other prominent lecturers of the
week will be Burns of the Mount
aims" H. V. Adams, Ned Woodman,
and Edna Eugenia Lowe.
Quite q departure from the ordin-
ary Chautauqua attractions will be
presented on the third night in the
plays of Our Allies by the LuZerne
PLAYERS. These are short dramas,
masterpieces of the great European
playwrights, truly portraying the life
of our allied peoples.
A strong patriotic note will be
reached in the music of the week,
The feature attraction for the first
night will be the "Old Soldier Fid-
dlers," under the direction of Gel.
]. A. Pattee. These old veterans OF
the Civil War, two from the North
and two from the South, present
rousing patriotic program of instrum-
entail music, camp fire and war time
songs. The most noteworthy musical
attraction of the week will be on the
fifth day when Thaviu's Exposition
Band comes to Chautauqua for two
programs. This band was honored
with opening and closing the San
Francisco Exposition and is both the
largest and best band ever brought
over the Western Chcutauquas. In
their evening program, they will be
assisted by three Chicago grand op-
era singers. Other musical attract
ions will be the Treble Clef Clup;
Morrison Smith Company; Zedeler
Symphonic Quintet and the Fenwick
Newell Concert Company.
The closing evening of Chautauqua
/ will be known as An Evening in
Hawaii" featuring the Royal Hawai-
ian Quintet and Mildred Leo Glenn
eas in her illustrated travelogue,
travelling through Paradise" Miss
Clemens, cousin of Mark Twain, trav-
eled through the Hawaiian Islands
fifty years after Mark Twain's So
iourn there, visited the places he has
made famous in his writings and
brings remarkable dissolving views
and motion pictures of the places OF
interest. including Mt. Kilauea, Haw-
aii's active volcano.
