CHAUTAUQUAS IN AUSTRALIA
Elison-White Making Chautauqua History in Carry
ing Movement Abroad

The Chautauqua has been carried to
the land of the Anzacs! In the winter
of 1918 the big brown tents of the Ellison
White Chautauqua System will be
pitched in Australia. About the time
we are drawing on winter supplies Of
fuel the Ellison-White Australian Chau-
tauqua will be in full swing under sum-
mer skies.
Tie first circuit will open in Novem-
Der G. this year in New South Wales.
Tents and equipment which are used in
the West throughout the summer will
be loaded on Pacific Mail boats at San
Francisco in mid-September and sent
overseas. They will be returned at the
end Of the Australian season for the
opening Of the Ellison-White circuits in
the South in April.
Taking Chautauqua overseas is the
most notable event in the history of the
movement in many years. Chautauqua
was not only distinctively American,
but solely confined to the United States,
until the past year. In 1917 the Ellison
White Chautauqua System opened
branch Offices in Calgary, Alberta, and
operated forty Chautauquas through the
four Western provinces. The new move
ment was greeted with open arms by
our Canadian brothers. Two three-day
Chautauqua Festival circuits were con-
Quoted in the fall Of 1917 and during 1918
there will be 210 Chautauquas between
Vancouver and Winnipeg.

and women; we gain a knowledge
of their habits, environment, GUS
toms.
No play of recent years has had
a greater appeal, or has been more
universally beloved than "The
Music Master" filled as it is with
touching pathos and exquisite
comedy. AS interpreted by Annie
Therese Davault on the last after
noon at Chautauqua, it takes on
new beauty and charm. Miss
Davault merges herself into the
personalities Of the play in a wonder
full manner. You forget the charm
ing lady of the platform and see
only the character she is portraying.
Particularly will you enjoy the
Characterization of the lovable old
music master. These words are
typical of him, "When / think of
the many, many kind hearts in the
world II just feel happy, that's

You'll enjoy the afternoon with
Miss Davault exceedingly
Talented, sweet-voiced, cultured,
she is one of the rare personalities
of the platform.

successful in planting solidly the Chau-
tauqua idea.
BIG GAIN LAST YEAR
In 1916, 200 well attended assemblies
were conducted in the West. The
season opened at El Paso, Texas, where
the Rotary Club stood sponsor for
Chautauqua week. With characteristic
energy the Rotarians made it an I'M
qualified success. Prominent clubs and
organizations in the larger Coast cities
such as Los Angeles, Sacramento, Stock
ton, Ogden, Boise, Spokane, and Butte
followed this lead and the permanence
OF Chautauqua was assured on the
Pacific slope.
During the present year over 500
Ellison-White Chautauquas were con-
Quoted. Every town and city of any
size in the West either had Chautauqua
or was within easy access of one. Thir-
teen western states were covered, the
season opening April II in Louisiana
and closing September in Wyoming.
Forty Of this number were conducted
in Canada. The Canadian circuit
covered the four western provinces,
coming as far east as Winnipeg. Chau-
tauquas we're entirely new to Canadians,
but in spite of war conditions the idea
was received in good shape and the
Dominion has undoubtedly been added
permanently to the Chautauqua map.

DIR. Y. MINAKUCHI
1.-The War and the Anglo
Japanese Alliance"

The pendulum swings eastward.
The world looks to the Orient today
with troubled eyes. The German
threat in Russia opens up a whole
new vista. The possibilities in the
Russian turmoil outrun the most
active imagination. What forces are
at work behind those screens of
silence in the East? What will
Japan do? At such a time the
engagement Of DR.. Y. Minakuchi, a
scholar and lecturer of Japan, now
a naturalized American, is one of
particular Importance. Probably
better than any other man on the
American platform DR.. Minakuchi
is capable Of discussing intelligently
the trans-Pacifc situation.

A. A. FRANKIE
1.-THE Trial Of Democracy"

A. A. Frankie, Lecturer and edu-
Gator, has the distinction of being
one of the youngest men to have
reached real prominence through
scholarly and statesmanlike dis
cussion of the fundamental prob
lens the day. His record of
achievement in the last few years
is particularly bright.
Mr.. Frankie will lecture on the
fifth afternoon on 1.-THE Trial of
Democracy" a sound and sane
message that is wholly constructive.
The deep conviction which backs
his words, the swift arrows Of logic,
the glittering touches of humor and
the spontaneity of his eloquence all
unite in making his lecture one that
will make a profound impression
upon you.

eff they had been English they
would have retired; if they had been
French they would have retired;
according to all the rules of warfare
they were licked. But they were
Canadians; they had only been
three months in the trenches, and
they didn't know any better; they
didn't know it was impossible and
so they went ahead and won"
These are the words of Sergeant
Gibbons, who lectures on the second
night of Chautauqua, referring to
the second Battle of Ypres, when
10000 Canadian infantry with no
artillery support launched counter
attack after counter-attack upon a
foe $4,000 strong.

LEILA M. Bloomfield
New Zealand, the South Sea
Utopia"

In presenting Miss Leila M.
Bloomfield to Chautauqua audiences,
we are offering both a unique
lecturer and a unique and charm
ing young lady. Miss Bloomfield is
native, of New Zealand, a lover
of the land and it's people, a lecturer
and writer of authority. She brings
to Chautauqua a highly interesting
and entertaining story of her home
country in the Antipodes.
New Zealand claims to have "the
model government Of the world. "
Certain it is that in this country
across the Pacific many of the most
perplexing problems in politics and
social life have been workedao
satisfactorily.

1917. by more emcient loading This
Is shown in reports which have just
been compiled for every division.
The average load carried by each
car on the Pennsylvania Railroads
Eastern Lines in December, 1917, was
1923 tons as compared with 3i70 tons
in the corresponding month Of the pre-
yious year. or an increase Of 51a tons
tons per car.
Efforts to increase car loading on the
Pennsylvania Railroad have been car
ried on for many years, but have been
conducted in a systematic way since the
early part Of 1916, when this work was
placed in charge Of a special depart
ment under the jurisdiction Of the su-
perintendent Of stations and transfers.
In 1915 the average load carried pei

since that time has amounted 70 NOR
