England by the Community chautau-
qua especially for this lecture tour.

Lecture League, one of the most in
fiuential institutions in England, and
gained great prominence during the
early days of the war by his remark
able analysis of the German war
plans long before they became ap-
parent to the Allied military powers.
He went up and down the country ex-
planning the real objects of the vari-
Gus great German drives, and while
he was at first scoffed at, he was later
acknowledged absolutely correct in
his predictions which were borne out
by the subsequent course of events
He approaches the great problem of
the German Revolution in absolutely
the same open-minded spirit, and
gives some important facts about
Germany's plans for escaping the
penalty of her crimes. He explains
motives behind the German revOlu-
tionary propaganda, and outlines
what we may expect Of Germany in
the future.
