occupied Vaux, Fluquieres and Hap
pencourt, north of the Somme, as
well as Hamel, according to the war

their forces and concentrating numer-
Gus divisions there with the intention

Bruce Evans heard him last night
when he spoke on the lost joy, and the
lost boy. From the moment Evans
takes the platform there is not a dull
moment. His words shoot from his
mouth with the rapidity of a gatline
gun. No one ever doubts what he
means. He calls a spade a spade-not
an agricultural implement. There Is
an informality about Bruce Evans
service that is striking. The moment
you come in contact wiCh the man you
either like him or you dislike him
There is one thing certain you can
ignore him.
Last evening Captain G. L. Hall OF
the Life Line missionary boat on Coos
Bay was passing through the city anc
heard Bruce was here. He stopped of
