SPLENDID CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM THIS YEAR

lkUdkAM IhIO ItAk
People are already beginning to
inquire about the speakers for the
coming Chautauqua program. We
are glad to announce that it now
appears that Chautauqua patrons
will certainly be pleased and de-
lighted with the prospects. At no
time in the recent history Of our
country has information on public
matters been so eagerly sought as
during the recent world war and
the keen human interest at the pre-
sent time in all national and inter-
national questions is only visible
evidence of the awakened conscious
ness Of our people with reference to
all public and world questions. Nat
urally the Chautauqua is expected
to supply the spoken word and sup
plement the written page.
The list Of speakers will be head
ed by DR.. Chas. T. Baylis Of New
York on the subject of Rebuilding
a Broken World" or Gone Thousand
Miles over The Battlefelds Of Eur
ope." DR.. Baylis was entertained
by Brand Whitlock, our Ambassa-
dor to Belgium and by DIR. Henry
Nan Dyke at the U. S. Legation.
He was also entertained by Cardi-
nal MERCER when that distinguished
prelate was prisoner of the German
army, in his own palace. He speaks
with authority, is intensely in ear
nest and has a wide and hopeful
vision.
Miss Josephine Mulville, a Red
Cross nurse, direct from the front,
will tell of the great humanitarian
efforts Of the American Red Cross,
and Ray Baker will give an unique
travelogue on Hawaii, showing the
most beautiful colored views of that
mid-ocean and semi-tropical coun-
try ever presented on canvas, and
at the same time telling in an inter
esting and instructive way of the
Hawaiian people, Others on the
speaking corps are DR.. Thomas Nc
