Saturday was Inspirational day at
the chautauqua tent and the after
moons entertainment was in the
hands of the Theresa Sheehan Con-
cert company and rarely if ever has
an Orleans audience been SO delight
fully entertained, Miss Sheehan being
wonder in her chosen field of read
ing and character delineation and
she was ably supported by the other
two members of her company.
In the evening Denton c. Crowl
spoke briefly on the burning ques-
tons of the hour, the keynote of
which was that no nation can live
that neglects the moral development
Of its people.
He said that several weeks ago the
heads Of all the Chautauquas in the
u. S. were summoned to Washington
and there were brought together the
greatest gathering of brains this
country has yer known. They were
addressed by all the ambassadors of
the allied nations and asked to so ar
range their programs as to defeat
the German Propaganda SO far as
was in their power. Surely this is
great mission for all the chautauquas
over the country reach 20,000,OOO peo-
pie in the course OF season.
He said this country has a bigger
problem to meet after the war and
that is the reconstruction period for
which we will need leaders and they
are in our schools and colleges now.
Mr.. Crowl is interested in patriotic
work in various ways and he says his
hat is off to the American Banker.
Their work for the country is so great
that success would be impossible
without them.
Then followed recreation of Sam
Jones' famous lecture on "Facts,

was driven home to them, clothed IN
the language only Jones could use.

H. P. Morehead of Baltimore, Md,
a returned Y. M. G.. A worker back
from France, recruiting for the Y. M.
c.. A. told the large audience both af-
ternoon and evening what the Red
Triangle stands for and what it is
doing for the boys of our own town of
Orleans from the time they leave
home all the way along and clear up
to the front line trenches where they
grab a bit of refreshment between the
shots at the Huns.
Mr.. Morehead has been over there
six months as director general of the
moving picture department of the en-
tire French army and left for this
country on July 18th and expects to
return to France in September. He
began his address both afternoon and
evening by telling the mothers Of the
boys over there that they had rocked
the cradle of the greatest army on
Gods green earth and they had every
thing to be proud of in their infant
army, only q little over wear old.
The boys are on their mettle over
there. They are building men, mind,
body and spirit. Not a drunken SOL
der, white or colored, did he see.
Mr.. Morehead was business man
in his home city and he left it all to
go over and be of service to the great
cause that is at stake. He wildly de-
scribed the air raids in Paris last
March and the havoc wrought by the
long range guns and told of many
cases of German frightfulness that
he had knowledge of first hand. He
is very much in earnest and is going
back if he has to swim the Atlantic.
At the close he showed many tro-
phies of the work, including the
