WELSH GLEE CLUB
Will be at Auditorium Wednesday
 Night, Janeary p.

The Welsh Glee Club will be the next number of the next Luceum pro
 gram. They will be at the school au-
 ditorium on Wednesday night, Janu-
 ary p.
 1 With one exception the members of 1 The Welsh Glee Quartet began their Irrespective careers as choir boys. Sing , ing has been their profession ever since. As soloists they have appeared successfully both here and abroad As a quartet their ensemble work is not able for robust volume, almost perfect blending of voices and varied resour ces of interpretation. They sing with the zestful ease of men to whom sing ing is seccnd nature and entertain ment first thought.
 The best music is not above the ability of this Welsh Quartet, nor is t.e popular and humorous beneath their notice and best effort Every thing possible to male quartet, from the exactjng dramatic choral to the latest novelty song of the day, is in cluded, but not one selection which does not afford opportunity for pre- senting something unusual in tba way of richness of harmonic effect, infec- tious rhythm, or legitimate humor.
 Further variety is to be had from English "Coster" Songs to the accom- panim mt Of the Concertina, mono- logues in character, and amusing cpl sodes from standard light opera, It is with confidence, then, that The Welsh Quartet is presented as one Of the best and most entertaining male luuartets that has appeared in Lyceum and Chautaucua,

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

Again we have been called upon to bow to the dispensation of Providence to say, Thy will be done." We have laid to rest in the person of Mrs. Glow CT Steel, ono our most loyal members, one of our most beloved women, one of our dearest friends. We sincerely regret her loss yet at the same time we rejoice for her sake-rejoice be- cause her sufferings are at an end and that she is enjoying the blessings of heaven, her eternal home.
 Few suffered as she in the last five or six months of her life, yet amid it all her faith was firm and she could sing even while enduring excruciating pain, Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine"
 We hereby extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones and especially do we ask Gods richest benedictions up- Ion Judge Steel, the faithful. compan ion, her son. MT. Addison Harris, and her only sister, Miss Nazelle Liggett who most keenly feels her loss. We realize our inability to comfort in this sad hour, but we are glad that we can point with confidence to One who is |supremely able to comfort and con- sole and who revealed the yearnings |of His great heart for weak and suf- fering humanity when he said, Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and will give you rest"
 We ask that a copy of these resolu- Etions be filed tin the Sunday School record, that one be given to Judge Steel and family and that the same be published in the Little River News.
 Respectfully Submitted,
 Mrs. o. T. Graves.
 Mrs. Seth c. Reynolds.

separate and distinct, with the war

little concern to the German emper-
or, according to the evidence pre-
sented before the subcommittee in
vestigating the war. Furthermore,
the intervention of the United States
apparently was not very seriously
considered by the emperor.
The development caused sensa-

ty. Herr Sinsheimer, turned toward
Won Bernstorff and said:

This latter route is the one which
