Where no farewell tears are shed"

the hope that you will let no discour-
agement weaken your activities. and
that the people will not fail in the
support of patriotic institution that
may be said to be an integral part of
the national Defense"
Probably the most important gov
ernment-accredited lecturer to ap-
pear on the weeks program will .be
Lincoln l.. Writ. war correspondent
who went over to France sole
ly to obtain information on the
actual conditions in Europe and to
present them to the Chautauqua
audiences. He was in Europe in the
spring and brings the last word from
the war zone, dealing chiefly with
Pershing and "our boys" in the
American section of the line.
