1t may be some disappointment to
Chautauqua patrons to learn that
Lieut.. Nelson, the aviator, will not
fill his appointment on the program.
He has not been a success, owing to
the fact that it is an impossibility
for him to make his dates with the
machine. He has missed a number
of appointments, and has at last can
celled his contract. The Lieutenants
number on the program will be filled
by Captain Joel r. Moore, who will
speak with authority on Bolshevism
in Russia In notifying the local
management of the change in pro-
gram, Mr.. Holladay, manager of the
chautauqua circuit has the following
to say in regard to Captain Moore:-
, To know the truth about Bolshevism
| in Russia is an almost universal de-
sire in this country, and when Lieut..
Nelson refused further to honor the
! legal and binding contract which we
! hold with him, we thought we were
very fortunate to be able to secure
the consent of Capt Moore to take
his place an the Chautauqua pro-
gram after less than weeks rest
! following his return in June 1919
! from Northern Russia and his dis.
charge from the arm month I@.e'
on the oath, of July. Capt. Moore
was Captain of the 339th, Infantry
of the Russian Expeditionary Force,
and spent nine months in Northern
Russia against Bolsheviki. While in
Russia, Captain Moore became well
acquainted with the Russian char
acter and developed a profound lik-
! ing for the Russian Peasant founded
on this intimate knowledge and ac-
quaintance. Upon this same know
ledge is based his hatred of Bolshev-
ism. He not only gives a definite
and solemn warning against Bolshe-
vism in America but has construct
! i've remedy. This is not war lee
ture but rather a constructive study
of the universal social unrest of
which Bolshevism is one of the most
dangerous and hateful expressions.
Capt. Moore is the recipient of the
Croix de guerre from France for
galantry in action, and he was the
| first American officer decorated by
Russia, having received the Cross of
st. Anna, the Russian military medal
! for his services in recruiting Rus
slams in the defense of Pinega in
| Northern Russia. which was an in
dependent action one hundred and
fifty miles from base. during last
winter when the snow was waist
deep Capt. Moore's proclamation to
the Russians of the Pinega Valley
made him famous in Russia where it
was printed in many Russian papers
and finally found its way in trans
lation to America. The Captain was
formerly head of the Department of
Rnral Edncation IN the Wisconsin
