ence at Paris and gave an account of
that meeting in clear and effective
manner. His decided English accent
and his witty humor very pleasantly
impressed his hearers and this was
conceded to be one of the best num-
bers of the entire program.
The first morning lectur occurred
on Monday morning when Wallace
Bruce Amsbary appeared in a lecture
recital entitled "Jean Bateese and His
Brethren" Mr.. Amsbary is the au-
thor of many delightful ballads in the
|French4 Canadian dialect and during
his lecture he introduced many of his
own poems. He also had book Of
poems of his own writing for sale, and
many availed themselves of the oppor-
ttlnity of securing one. The White
Hussar Girls were the musical attrac-
ton for this day and gave the usual
prelude for the afternoons program.
This organization is made up of nine
young ladies', who give a varied pro-
gram of music and singing which is
brim full OF pep and dash. Their
band and orchestra numbers were eX-
ceedingly file and the solo parts play
ed by the cornetist, slide trombone
player and flute We're worthy of espec-
ial mention Miss Laura Townsley,
the trap drummer was young lady
of unusual musical ability, and also
captivate4 her audience by her comic
readings Their program in the aft
ernoon was followed by an address
by Gov. George A. Carlson, of Colo
RADIO. Gov. Carlson did commendable
work in that state .during the great
labor trouble, and is a man Of the
Teddy roosevelt type, and 100 per
cent American. He IS a powerful ora
tor and gave a fine address. The
White Hussars gave the program in
the evening, and delighted their hear
elS with varied program OF ragtime,
and jazz music, some of which they
acted out in a clever manner. Il
Tuesday morning th'e,rugged Scoch-
man, Roderick Dundonald presented
tle morning lecture which was at
tended by large number of people.
His stories Of Scotch life and charac-,
ter. and his interesting accent made
this one OF the popular numbers of the
session 1t is to BIZ regretted that Mr..
Dundonald did not appear at either
an afternoon or evening session that
more might have had the opportunity
of hearing him. Yesterday was day
without any musical attractions but
the unusually strong program present.

On Wednesday afternoon of last
week the Woman's Home Missionary
society of the Methodist church held
a very pleasant meeting at the home
of Mrs. John Cook. There was a good
membership attendance and Mrs. NJ
A. Penney had charge of a very inter-
esting lesson At the close of a short
business meeting, Mrs. j. R., Romans
addressed the company and in her
usual clever and pleasing manner
presented beautiful cut-glass vase
filled with pretty flowers to Mrs. O..
NJ. Criswell, as a small token of appre-
citation from the members of the So
ciety for faithful service rendered.
Mrs. Criswell has been the president
Of the local missionary society for the
past sixteen years consecutively, and

was given by the Chicago Saxaphone
and Orchestral Sextette which is com.
posed of five men, organized and

A lady vocalist and pianoist gave sew

same company of six favored the audi

and were enthusiastically received and
encored. Sir John Foster Fraser was
the lecturer Of the evening and dis
cussed the problems of world politics
before an intensely interested audi.

ed made up for the absence Of the
music. Frank Dixon, brother of
ThOs. Dixon, Jr., the famous author,
gave a forceful lecture in the after
noon and discussed the great ques-
ton of government ownership He is
strongly opposed to~this question and
presented the subject in new light,
which caused his audience to do some
deep thinking on the matter. The
drama entitled 1.-The Melting Pot.
was presented in the evening and was
one OF the best plays ever witnessed
by a Denison audience, and was con-
sidered we'll worth the price Of the
entire season ticket. The play was
presented by cast of metropolitan
players, each one an artist in their
role. This is a tensely dramatic pro-
duction, full of interest from start to
finish and is especially appropriate
at this time on account of its being
decidedly patriotic. 1t dealt with the
problems of immigration and was the
story of a Jewish family who came to
America and tried to- still cling to
their Jewish customs, while nephew
of the family was influenced by the
American ideals and ways and 'strove
to educate his family in these ways
and to persuade them to be true
Americans.
Today is the big day of the program
and the attractions began at 1870
with an aeroplane flight which was:
an actual exhibition of military flying.
A large crowd Of people were in at,
tendance at this exhibition and took
advantage of the opportunity to view
the large machine at close range.
Following the flight the great Banda
Roma under the leadership of Luigi
Quaglia, gave the. first part of the
afternoons program which was follow
ed by a lecture by Major r. c. Bridg2
man on "The Romance OF Flying"
which was most unusually interest
ing. The evenings program will be
given entirely by the band, and as is
usually the case will bring out very
large crowd Tomorrow ends the
session, and PRESENTS an interesting
program beginning in the morning
with lecture by Raphael Emmanuel
OF Mesopotamia, and a dramatic play,

chautauqua, and lecture by Miss
Mary X. Nelson, an overseas Red
Cross, nurse. In the evening, Joy
Night will be celebrated with Ralph

entertainer. & s.4 ...5

the members took this manner of
voicing their great appreciation for
the high standing. Mrs. Criswell ex.
pressed her thanks for the token in
few fitting words, after which the
hostess served a delicious lupch, and
the afternoon was spent in delight
full social way.
The Tonithan Camp Fire girls en-
joyed a picnic supper in Washington
Park last evening as is their usual
custom during chautauqua week. Aft
err supper, the time was spent in an
enjoyable way until the evenings
program commenced, which they at
tended in a body. Miss Helen Wood,
of Logan, who is the guest of Miss
Ruth Silletto this week, was present
at the picnic.

No Soldier Athletes
Will Go Abroad
For Allied Games

The War Department has decided
that it will not send soldier-athletes
from this country to compete in the
lnter-Allied games, to be held in Paris
in June. This ruling applies to soldiers
who havS been overseas and returned
to this country, as we'll as those who
did not see service abroad; whether
discharged from service or not.
This decision was reached at a con-
ference between Secretary of War
Baker and General Peyton C. March
some time ago. The ruling was not
announced by President S. j. Dallas.
of the Amateur Athletic Union, until
to-day.
General March stated that while the
War Department was entirely in ac-
cord with these games, and the value
of athletics to the soldier yet it was
felt that the chief object at this time
was to hasten the return of the SOL
dlers now overseas. General March
further stated that General Pershing
had full charge of the men at present
overseas and could hold any man or
men he desired for competition in the
games.
