DIR. w. T. S. CULP,
Lecturer.

DIR. W, T. S. Culp, Vice-Presi-
dent of the International Society
for Advanced Education will
come to us almost. directly from
Washington, D. c., to deliver a
series of patriotic lectures on the
first day Of the Chautauqua. In
these lectures, WAKE OF
DEMOCRACY" DR.. Culp will
discuss matters pertaining to the
lnstigation of the great war by
the rulers of Germany, and will
bring messages from those to
whom the winning of the war,
as far as our part is concerned,
has been entrusted.
The American people are not
lacking in patriotism, but in in
torwation. DR.. Culp comes to
the Chautauqua to tell why we
are fighting, what the results
will be if we do net get right
down to business and win the
war soon, and what the Govern
ment expects of every man, wo-
man and child in America. He
is a splendid speaker, and a man
OF many years experience in
public work.
The local Chautauqua commit
tee is very anxious that evory
one who can possibly do so will
hear DIR. Culp, both afternoon
and night of the first day. He
will deal with matters vital to
our national existence, and to the
future welfare of our children.
All yeung men within the draft
age, and those soon to rearh that
age, are urged to hear both of
these lectures, as he will be aD,e
to answer any question which
might still exist in the minds Of
OF some concerning tlc nace,. ,.nj
of their paying the hig -, p zee
in order that the word -
made safe for democracy"

BASEBALL IS
NON.ESSENT|AL
SUCH WAS THE DECISION OF
NEWTON D. BAKER, SEC.
RETARY OF WAR.
This May Mean the Closing Down Of
All Leasuss-peath Blow to Nation
al Game In Work or Fight Ruling
VIII Doubtless Result.

Washington.-Baseball is a non-pro-
ductive and non.essential industry.
Ball players are bit by the "work or
fight" order; they must shift into es-
sential Industries or lose such deferred
classifications in the draft as they have
received through dependencies and
other reasons. Such was the decision
Of Newton d. Baker, Secretary of
War, In the appeal of Edward Ain
smith, catcher of the Washington team
Of the American League. The decision
Is regarded in baseball circles as tan
tamount to the disbandment of organ
lied baseball for the duration Of the
war. While many ball players are be-
yond the draft age, 1t is said there are
not enough to furnish the brand of
baseball that the major league patrons
demand, and baseball next year proba-
bly, will be furnished largely by semi
professional leagues.
However, the rush of baseball play
ers to leagues similar to the Steel in
the Middle West, and the Shipbuild-
Ing Leagues on both the East and
West coasts may give those leagues
teams Of strength almost equal to the
Glass AA leagues, or the American
Association and the Pacific Coast
League and afford such territory fair
ball playing. The Ainsmith case went
up to the Secretary on appeal from
the local board in Division of the
District Of Columbia. He had been
placed in Class 4. previous to the
work or fight" order. The local board
ordered him to appear to show cause
why he should not be reclassified and
placed in Class l, because of the ma.
ture Of his occupation. His deferred
classification had been granted be.
cause OF the dependency. Of his wife
and child.
