fashioned scagoers. who are disin-
clined TO start a voyage on the sixth
day OF the week, but Friday the 18th

DR. Arthur Walwyn Evans has
lived for twenty-four years in Great

both sides, and knows how to por-
tray them in a vital message that
has established his reputation on the
lyceum platform. DR.. Evans was ed
ucated in Wales, England, and Scot
land His family stands among the
highest in British politics today. He
was stepped from childhood in Eng
lands political atmosphere and saw
history in the making. He knew and
saw Gladstone, Queen Victoria, King
Edward, Asquith, Lloyd George, Bal
four, Kitchener and more of Great
Britain's greatest.
Dr. Evans lectures are not book
ish in any respect. They are won-
derful stories that are true to life.
He speaks in a stirring manner of
the vital things in the world today.
His broad travel and his acquain-
tance with some of the worlds great
est men has helped in making him
the wonderful orator he is. He ranks
among the greatest on our Ameri-
can stage today. He delivers his
messages in such pleasing and inter-
esting manner that everyone can en-
Joy him and profit much by having
heard him.
This is the last lecturer on the ly-
ceum course this year. DR.. Evans
will lecture next Saturday evening,
Jan. 5, in the college auditorium.

JOSEPHUS DANIELS.

Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy. will pass his f1fty-eighth mile
stone today. The Secretary of the
Navy was born at Washington, N. c.,
and all his life has called that state
his home. Mr.. Daniels, who In the
beginning Of his career as head OF
Uncle Sans navy, was subject to
much criticism from various quar-
tiers, has decidedly made good, and at
present there is nothing but admira-
ton for the manner in which he has
handled the affairs of his department,
and this in the most trying time in
the history of the United States.
Mr.. Daniels is a newspaper man,
and began his journalistic career at
the age of eighteen as editor of the
Wilson, N. c., Advance. Later he
studied law and was admitted to the
bar, but he never practiced the legal
profession. More than thirty years
ago he became editor of the Raleigh
State Chronicle, and in 1894 consoli-
dated that paper and the North Ca
rolinian with the News and Observer.
Since he took the helm in the Navy
Department at Washington, Secretary
Daniels has upset many traditions.
The famous order against the wine
mess, and the substitution of right
and left" for "starboard" and port"
were only two among the many
changes he inaugurated and which
created wide discussion.

WHOLE GERMAN
COMPANY LOST
AT ARMENTIERES

Liverpool. May 20 - How every
man of German company lost his
life in an attack on the Armentieres
front is told in a letter from a Liver
pool officer to his local newspaper.
''The f1recest fight we had" he
writes, was when the enemy massed
troops with the object of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was
made in open country, where we were
able TO mass a number of battalions
against him, and the fighting was
very fierce,
Our Liverpool battalion had the
post of honor. When the Germans
started to throw their troops against
us we poured into their ranks a very
heavy fire and did terrific execution.
Immediately in front of. US, Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that of another English regi-
ment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back. They
kept on trying to reach our square,
but were shot down one by one until
only six of them remained. These six
threw down their rifles and signaled
that they wished to surrender. But
they were seen by German officer
near by, who gave an order to his
men, and the six were shot down by
their own comrades before they could
reach us"
