Lecturer and Writer Who viii Tell
of His Wonderful Adventures In
the Holy Land With the English
Army Under General Allenby.
Centenary celebration at Columbus,
O., June 20 to July 10, in the Lowell
Thomas travelogue, With Allenby
in Palestine" For, in this talk, illus
trated by amazing moving pictures
and still photographs, the first au-
thentic eyewitness account by fully
accredited observer of this dashing
campaign will be given.
They show the great military oper-
alton from its beginning to its end,
of the Holy Land and Allenby stood
astride the Berlin-Bagdad railroad at
Aleppo, ending the Mittel Europa
scheme of the kaiser and the pam
Germans forever
But they show more than that
which Christians have heard since
their childhood They show how the
places look today and how the people
of Palestine are actually living. They
show almost everything that one
would care to see or know of Pales-
tine-certainly more than any ordi-
nary traveller could see in half
dozen visits to that country.
These travelogues have obtained
the unanimous Endorsement of the
clergy of New York city. They will
appear at Columbus during the entire
time of the great Methodist celebra-
ton.
