CAPT. LUCAS AT THE "Y."

Capt. Elmer [. Lucas spoke before a
large crowd at the Y. M: G. A. on
Sunday afternoon. There was COM
munity singing led by j A. Rowley
and prayer by secretary, H. H. Da-
Wis. j. E. Sturtevant presided and
introduced Captain Lucas, who re-
ceived an ovation from his admirers
present. He wore the full uniform OF
soldier ready for action, which he ex-
planned in detail, and which included
the gas mask which he wore in bat
tie. His description of the various
battles in which he participated, in
Guiding that of Chateau Thierry, was
very thrilling and gave his listeners
an idea of what the boys passed
through in turning the tide of the
war. This coming right from one
who was in these battles made it all
the more interesting. The Captain
went to France with Co. G in Febru-
airy and landed on the 4th of March.
They got into action on the 28th of
April. He was taken from his COM
pany to fill gaps in the ranks where
most needed and was in the front
lines until July 14th when he was
wounded. At the close he made a
strong appeal for the teaching only of
the English language in our schools
Many questions were asked of Capt.
Lucas at the close, which he answered.

tening to a talk by Capt S. M. b.
Smith, who returned recently from a
years sojourn in France, where he
was engaged in dispensary work in
connection with the Red Cross. His
work was largely among children and
his description of the baby exhibition
at st. Etienne was most interesting.
The exhibition ran for sixteen days
and was visited by 80,009 people.
Capt. Smiths talk was informing and
greatly appreciated. At its close the
club gave him rising vote of thanks.
The program closed with the read
ing of touching little poem entitled,
Just Folks" by Mrs. Helen Bick
Daniels, after which the club adj
