Society and Club Life
A GREAT SHOW.
Lyman Howe Pictures at the Rhode
Opera House are Unsurpassed and
is Mine Of Information.

The S. r. o. sign was raised early at
the Rhode Opera House on Monday
evening SO great was the crowd that
iocked to see the Lyman Howe pictures
and of all the great concourse of peo-
pie who attended not one but went
away with the conviction that he knew
more than when he came.
The pictures were not only interest
ing and entertaining but highly in
structive. The show opened with a
patriotic address by Joseph Rhode who
took for his subject the only thing
before the world Monday-the signing
of the armistice. This was followed by
singing Of patriotic songs "The Star
Spangled Banner America and
Z" Homeward Bound, y by the audience,
led by Mr.. Rhode and Fred Beckman.
AT the close of the singing the pict-
ures were put on and for two hours the
audience was held in the grip Of the
most intensely exciting scenes it is
possible to be portrayed by a camera.
The pictures were from nearly every
section of the world and ranged from
the beautiful pastoral scenes in that
part Of France which has been I'M
touched by the war to the lassoing Of
wild animals on top of the Rockies, and
from the lazy, INDECENT life Of Mexico
and India to the hustling active life of
the United States Marines in their
maneuvers in sea, earth and air.
An adequate description Of the
pictures in the confines of newspaper
article is impossible and the only way
to find out about them is to go and
see them for yourself, for you are
sure to be pleased.

This means, not only on the home
hearth, but in the minds and hearts Of
the boys, and this is what the Y.MC.A.,

Welfare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Association
and the Salvation Army have been and
are doing for the soldiers everywhere
those in the front line trenches and
those preparing in the environments to
go to the front. The aim Of these
organizations is to carry as much Of
the touch of home to our soldiers as is
possible, to keep mothers hand on his
shoulder and to relieve the rigo1s and
lonesomeness Of camp life. What
would you not do for your own son to
keep him straight and clean and manly 7
Every soldier is YOUR boy; he fights or
gets ready to fight to protect you.
The splendid work of these organi
cations must GO ON even more exten-
sively and more earnestly after the
signing of an armistice than ever be-
fore. There will be lonE period after
that before final terms of peace will be
agreed upon and signed and the armies
demobilized. As long as troops remain
in the field or in the environments the
civilian population must continue III
its activities calculated to keep up the
morale of the soldiers. The period Of
Rehabilitation will be long and trying.
Without the excitement and stimulus
of war there will be a tremendous
let-down among the troops Tempta-
tions will press upon the soldiers as
never before. Remembering the sor-
row in the hearts of the mothers whose
boys will not come home, contemplate
also the joy of the mothers whose boys
come home strong, clean, high-spirited

Prof. Clinton Barr Gives In

Administration Building
Monday Night.
GREAT DATES IN HISTORY
Prominent Educator Ranks Abdication
Of Kaiser and Signing Of Arnistice
With Other Great Histor-
ical Date.

Professor Clinton Barr delivered a
lecture at the Administration Building
last night on Mankind's Progress
Toward Liberty"
He cited five important dates in his
tory which served as searchlights to
November II, 1918 the one holiday
for all races, and for all people. Prof.
Barr said in part:
In 1915 John was forced to sign
the Magma Charter" or the "Great
Charter of the Liberties Of England. .
by so doing he guaranteed the rights
of the church, of the baron, Of the free
men, and of the laborers. The value
of this charter to the people at large
was shown by the fact that nearly one
third of its sixtythree articles were
inserted in their behalf. Of these ar
ticles, the most important was that
which declared that no man should be
deprived of liberty or property, save
by the law Of the land.
Again in 1895 Edward I. one Of the
ablest men that ever sat on the Eng
lish throne adopted the scheme of re-
presentation. He said, That which
toucheth all should be approved by
ALL" so he summoned to Westminster
the first really complete or "Model
Parliament. Z"
The French people threw off the
49, - bo
French revolution in 1898.
The American people cast off the
yoke of England in 1776, and in 1868
the negro was given his freedo /.
November II, 1913 is the date of the
rebirth of the earth; it is the one
significant day for all time because it
announces the emancipation of man,
kind
The World War is ended. 1t was the
greatest tragedy Of mankind.
Eight to ten million men are today
standing behind silenced guns for the
first time in over four years: three
million have died between the battle
Vine, ten miles from Paris to the
German lines; Of these America has
sacrificed twenty-five thousand.
The terms of the armistice were
signed, thereby vindicating Wilson :
Judgment tnat the German people love
liberty and that the Kaiser and PEG
pie were not one.
Wilhelm has been indicted by three
courts in England, on the charges Of
murder. There are seventeen thousand
diaries in the possession of the allies
which can be used as evidences of his
plans of conspiracy, and Of his atroci-
lies. Four kings have fed. Fourteen
put of twenty-six states have re-
nounced monarchy. A. just peace
comes next. -
Prof. Barr will later give series of
lectures in the city.
