Lamar Lyeeum Course

Only two numbers remain.
Early last year the Lyceum commit
tee made arrangements for the strong
est course of lecturers and entertain
ments for the season of 191S-1919 ever
given Lamar. The loyal support given
to the Lyceum courses in the High
school auditorium during the past
years fully warranted the planning of
such splendid course. However, the
Influenza, has been extremely hard on
this years program as three numbers
were to be given during the time the
schools and churches were closed. Good
as the three numbers are the two num-
bers still to be given are much super
ior
The Boston Opera Company will be
the attraction on Monday evening, Feb.
24th; and Strickland Gillian, the fam
Gus humorist, on Wednesday evening.
March 26th. These numbers are popu-
lar from coast to coast and it is Civ
en- to few Lyceum people to enjoy the
success and popularity which the peo-
pie of these attractions so richly de-
serve.

The Boston Opera Singers. consist

The Boston Opera Singers, consist
ing of Miss Louise Stallings, soprano,
Miss Esther Shultz, eontralto, Anth-
ony Guarnino, tenor, Percy Richards,
basso. Miss Marion Carley. pianist. Of
fered a program of popular and or
binary music designed to please and to
be enjoyed II was charmingly render
ed and every number was enjoyed. A
striking feature Of the program was
that out of twelve numbers on the pro-
gram, but three were solos.
OF the four voealists, Percy Rich
ards and Miss Stallings shared the
honors of the evening. Mr.. Percy
Richards, was born in London. but ed
ueated in Sweden (Stockholm). He
was first Lieutenant of the Royal
Swedish sth Infantry. He sang at
numerous concerts in Stockholm. was
invited to sing at the Royal Palace
there. He afterwards studied in Mil
an. Italy and sang three years in grand
opera in Italy He is married to an
American lady and at the beginning of
the war they came to America. He
appeared in three concerts in Carnegie
Hall and various other points in and
near New York, where he appeared
with Marie Sundeliue. He did a lot
of singing for the Liberty Loan drives
and in New York City and vicinity he
is known as "The Man in White" on
account of his costume.
Miss Stallings has large resonant
voice which she uses with excellent
Judgment and very good taste. 1t re-
sponded satisfactorily : to the many
demands made upon it and at the end
of an evening of very arduous work
she gave, as tho inspired, remark
able rendering of the Star Spangled
Banner which fairly thrilled the large
audience.
Mr.. Guarino is a greater artist than
singer. He has voice of large range
and under perfect control.
Miss Shultz made her success as a
reader rather than a singer. She gave
an artistic impersonation Of the Mar
chioness, in the Singing Lesson scene.
Her numbers in the second part of the
program were delightful and stamped
her as a reader of great ability.

Strickland Gillian is Americas pre-
mier humorist. For twenty years he
has appeared ON the Lyceum stage and
no man has cleaner record or brought
more sunshine to his audiences than
he. One writer says, "lf Strickland
Gillian is ever billed in your town,
take a night off from the Lodge or
postpone your euchre party, or forget
to meet your engagement, and go hear
him You will not only get your mon
ey's worth, you will not only laugh un-
I'll your sides are sore, you will come
away with the definite impression that
the race of fine-charactered and gem
erous-impulsed men has not yet run
out"
In filling return engagements, few
can equal his record. He is constant
ly filling return dates. Many that he
fills are in places where he appeared
few years ago when his work was
cruder and less sure, and where neith-
er he nor the committee thought he
had made any especially strong i'm
preston. However, it turns out al
ways that something in his work was
remembered, and that an unmistakable
demand for his return is voiced by
many in the community.
In 1917 he filled seventy-nine Chau-
tauqua dates. Though no other fea-
ture in a seven-day program was re-
peated over the same circuit Gillian,
after the management had consulted
the towns, was sent back over the
whole route.
His material and his ability TO
originate while on the platform arc
constantly growing, and he is becom-
ing constantly surer fire attraction
for return dates. He shoots unafrait
Americanism into his work.
Let every one join in his support OF
the last two numbers Of the course

the other three.

Der of the race, in many cases wrong
and inexcusable. But the vengeance
of the mob is never directed against
the negro as a class.
There is NO place in the North where
white and negro labor works together
as tremendously and on such equal
terms as in New Orleans. Conditions
on the water front here duplicated in
no Northern city. All yer the North
conflict arises whenever the two races
are brought into industrial competi-
ton.
The negro is in this country to stay.
His own preference is to remain in
the South and the South needs him,
understands him and gives him fairer
and more sympathetic treatment than
the has ever received elsewherer.
It would be a cause for qualification
and congratulation in this present
spasm of racial outbreaks should be
confined to other sections of the coun-
try. The press of the South and the
leaders of both races can do no bet
ter work than persistently and earnest
ly to admonish both races to avoid
every overt ACT that might tend to
bring about clashes at this time.-New

ing. Madam Phipoplinius, you must
leave Trebizond. he said. I will see
to it that you and your husband can
get away"
1.-THE officer sent n of his SER
wants for my husband, and that night
we slept at his house. For 3 weeks
my husband and l remained in the
house of the Turkish officer, and then
armed with papers he had supplied,
we attempted to leave the city. For
weeks we hid in the woods by day,
making our way by night towards Rus
STA, where we hoped to find security.
"The party, which consisted of ten
women and eight men, was surprised
by a band of Turks. We were taken
back towards Trebizond, but the sec
ond night my husband and | were
able to escape. Not knowing which
way we were going, we tramped, as
we thought, away from the city, only
to find when day daWned that We
were approaching it. We dared not
go back, lest we should fall in with
teh Turks again so, waiting until dark.
ness, we hid ourselves in the woods.
I'VE had had no food for two days,
except for a few wild berries, and that
night we were simply starving. We
decided to risk everything and re-
turn to T%rebezond, if only to obtain
food from friends there. We were
fortunate in getting into the city with
out being challenged by any of the
sentries, and reached the house of a
fellow countrymen of my husband,
who undertook to hide US.
For nearly twelve months we lay
in hiding, first in the house Of one
Greek, and then another, until the
Turks fled before the Russians. Al
ter the capture of the city by the Rus
SLAMS we were once again able to move
about freely, but when they retired
the Turks returned, and were more
brutal than ever to the few remain
ing Armenians and Greeks.
For three years my husband and
l were able to elude capture, being
kept in hiding. In Trebizond itself
the Turks did not offer any great
violence against the Greeks, and it
was because of this that we were
able to remain hidden.

have tended to make elements of the
! colored race in the North provocative
in their attitude toward the whites.
Some newspapers like the Infamous
Defender of Chicago AMI politicians,
white and black, of its stripe, have
encouraged this attitude They have
forced the clashes which have ended
in riot and bloodshed.
But in both cities politics has done
much to bring about the conditions
whose sequel has been SO tragic. In
Washington the negro has been en-
couraged to assert his equality, oven
to the extent in some cases of lording
it over the whites. In Chicago he has
the full privileges of the ballot, holds
public office, including membership on
the police force, and as Mr.. IIoyne as
serts, has been coddle1 by the politi.
clans who want his vote.
The consequence is tina. in bceh
cities there is constant friction be-
tween the races and it was inevitable
that, sooner or laIer, jus. such out
burst would occur as are now being
described to the extent of columns in
the daily newspapers Of the country.
Unless the authorities in .,tner North
ern, Eastern and Western cities are
on the alert and prepared to act with
courage and vigor the Washington and
Chicago riots will not be the lasr.
Meantime it is to be hoped that the
Southern people will do nothing to en-
courage the re-entry of the oegro into
politics. The average member of the
race doesn't are for it. Left alone he
will not seek the ballot nor use it If
it is put at his disposal. 1t would be
a crime against the best interests Of
the South if any action on the part
of the Southern people should invite
Federal legislation making the negro
again a factor in our politics.
Never before were the relation be-
tween the two races in the South as
good. Occasionally there is an is

Gruesome Tale OF
Turks Brutaliay
Armenian Woman Sold at Auction;
Escapes To Tell Narrowing
Story of Treatment

Dundee, Scotland, July 28.-1Chil-
dren and old men were buried up to
their necks in the earth, and then the
brutal Turks, with huge stones, smash
ed in their heads. None can i'm
agine the ~ferocity or brutality of the
Turks, who delight in feindish tor
lures, and who glory in barbaritIes.
The speaker was Madamae Phipo-
plinius, the Armenian wife of a Greek
merchant at Trebizond, who with a
number of Armenian ladies', has reach
ed this country. Madame Phipoplin-
Jus was in Trebizond at the time of
the appalling massacre by the Turks,
when $4,000 Armenians were muir
dered.
There was less than 300 of the
original Armenian population of Ire
bizond alive" she said. Those of us
who are alive escaped death by a mir
acle. The Turks searched every
house from roof to cellar, and murder
ed every one they laid their hands
upon. Vail Ami Bey and Maize Bey
were the leaders of the massacre.
Turkish troops filled the city, and
young girls and babies were first
seized, and those who could walk
were herded together and marched to-
ward the sea. Cats came up in the
rear of the procession, and in these
were tiny babies. They had been
thrown bodily into the carts, after be-
ing torn fem their mothers army
Ey the ~ c1s Nearly all tho po,r
mites had e seriously injured all
many were shrieking in their agony.
AT the head of the procession was
a Turkish military band and soldiers
with fixed bayonets kept the wild-eyes
mothers from approaching their child
rem. The children were taken to the
sea front, and while many were put
into boats and rowed out to sea,
where they were thrown into the wat
er, hundreds of others we're stripped
of their clothing, and after being left
standing in the broiling sun, were
seized by the legs, and their. heads
We're battered against the sea wall.
All the while the Turkish military
band played nearby.
AN American lady protested to Vail
Ami Bey, and begged him to allow
her to care for the children. The
Vail gave a promise, and the lady
went round the city telling the dis
tracted Armenian mothers who still
had babies and young children hidden
away that she had a promise from the
Vail that any children in her Bible
House would be safe from the sold
iers. Upon the strength of the Wallis
promise the lady collected between
300 and 400 young Armenian children
and had them removed to the Mis-
sion House. The Turkish soldiers at
tempted to interfere with her, but
upon her production of a paper signed
by the Vail they left the lady free to
continue her labor.
THE Wallis promise, however, was
