TELLS NEWPORT
OF 1.-THE new
i, WORLD SPIRIT"
Chautauqua Audience Hears
Interesting Lecture By
Capt. Chute

Last evenings lecture at the Chau-
tauqua tent below the Armory on
Main street, was the feature of the
days entertainment Captain Arthur
Hunt Chute, war correspondent, cap
tain with the first Canadian contin-
gent in France, and since the war as
sociate editor of Leslie's Weekly,
spoke on The New World Spirit. J"
That world civilization, which has
passed into the hands of western peo-
pie is in danger was the serious con-
tention of Capt. Chute. He pleaded
for return to the simple home life
of our forefathers-the family altar
morning and evenino prayer.
Captain Chute said in part:
"Jack is as good as his master,' is
the cursed idea that has got the world
topsy-tulvy today. Even a demo-
cracy must have its oligarchy princ-
pie, its recognition of master and SER
want, of authority, of rulers, of lead
ership.
Trotsky and all his pack from the
Bowery to Petrograd want the rule
of the minority over the majority,
that is the riff raft, from the forecas-
tie, on the bridge. Well, for myself,
on the ship of state, and on every
other ship, | want the captain on the
bridge
The grand old state of Vermont has
ever been a stronghold Of freedom, or
that form Of freedom, recognizing OBJ
legations to its rightful leaders. If
that hoard now sweeping on toward
the Polish capital, should ever be
able to subject the world, | would far
sooner have the grass waving over
my grave, where I died fighting than
to live in a world of such perversion
Our western civilization is in dan
ger. Mere talk about the past will
not avail. 1t is for the sons rather
to keep alive the spirit of prepared
ness, to stand ever ready to fight at
the drop of the hat, at the first men
flag.
Above all else today America needs
men with vision, vision that embraces
not merely the materialistic successes
whose paeons are so reverently sung
by the Saturday Evening Post, and
the American magazine, but also
spiritual successes.
The simple homespun virtues of our
fathers, the family altar, morning and
evening prayer, and over all the
blessed benediction of the home

WARSAW, Aug 25-Kolno, an
important town near the east Prus-

lish forces which have been sweeping
rapidly northward in pursuit of the
retiring Bolsheviki. More than 10000
prisoners who were cut off by the
main body of the Soviet army, have
been captured in this region, Re-

sued a statement to Polish newspaper
declaring that the Soviet armies have
been decisively beaten every where,
adding that of 100000 Bolshevik
troops participating in the offensive
for the capture of Warsaw more
than 100000 have been accounted for
and that nearly all other detachments
have been shot to pieces. He esti-
mated the number of prisoners at
$4,000 and the number of other Boil
sheWk casualties at 100000.
Military observers assert the Polish
victory and the successes in the
campaign form one of the most inter-
cstng military problems of recent
years. Two Cossack regiments have
crossed into East Prussia to escape
capture. There are indications that
Soviet infantry units numbering
many thousands of men have also
taken flight across the frontier at
various points. The remnants of the
Bolshevik army is surrounded and
while disorganized is endeavoring to
fight its way eastward.

British Tidal Power Plans.

Great Britain is just now more keen
 ly interested than ever before 1n the
 engineers scheme to harness the vast
 ed power of the tides rise and tall.
 The American consular reports say
 Tt is understood that a bill will be in
 troduced into parliament for the pur-
 pose of obtaining authority for mar
 messing a number of Scottish streams, investigations having revealed that the
 aggregate of available power is larger than had been anticipated. With re- spect to the harnessing of the tides, it is reported that work is about to be- gin both on the Dee and the Severn, where power can be produced, accord ing to estimates of engineers, at two thirds the cost of electric power gen erated by coal
 The basic principle underlying most of the inventions for harnessing tides i is the working of a turbine by tidal ebt and flow. The tide makes the power
 at both its inflow and it's outflow, only teasing for comparatively short time during the period of half tide. In one | Cheshire and Lancashire district the
 great variation in the hour of the tide | at neighboring estuaries makes pos sible, through an ingenious discovery the production of maximum energy during an almost continuous period. "The plan for harnessing the tides devised by Lewis Woodhead of Murcot Mill House, Broadway, Worcestershire calls for the building of cheap and efficient wall out in the sea, or tidal river in which turbines are placed. By these a mile of sea wall would be cap i able of generating 120,000 horse power
 The position of such wall would be four to six miles from shore"

Trees on Trains.

A special train equipped with exhib- it's of tree planting has been sent on tour through western Canada by the dominion forestry association. Shade trees about every prairie home is consummation which the association hopes to achieve by this campaign among the farmers. The train stops in towns and hamlets. Experts in tree culture deliver lectures and illustrate their lessons with moving pictures.
 Five million small trees were d1str1b- uted this spring among farmers of the prairie provinces from the government nursery at Indian Head and the Can adian Pacific nursery at Woolsley' Sa.sk. Fifty million seedlings and cut tings have been distributed in the last five years. This extensive tree plant ing program, it is believed, in time will transform the physical character of the great plains that sweep from the lake country of Manitoba to the Rocky mountains.

and president Of Temple University,
was led to the hiding place Of his PEN
sion papers by his wifes spirit.
The English scientist landed at New
York yesterday from the steamship
Lapland. SO interested was he in
Doctor Conwell's experience under the
influence of Mrs. Conwell's ethereal
continuity" that he expressed desire
to confer with him on the subject at
the earliest convenient time.
Doctor Conwell explained several
weeks ago to his congregation that his
wife's spirit had returned and re
vcalcd to him the hiding place of valu =
able pension papers. At that time he
said the spirit had been plainly visible.
That is something upon which
have not decided in my own mind" he
said What Doctor Conwell saw may
have been n mental picture brought up
by the thoughts produced by his wife S
spirits influence upon him. I am not
quite sure that the spirits materialize
themselves after death.
Sir Oliver passed off lightly the ex
plantations of DR.. Lightneu Wilmer, of
the University of Pennsylvania, and
other psychologists of the experience
set forth by Doctor Conwell.
'Hallucinations is word they use
quite often in explaining things which
do not appear clearly to them" he
said
Sir Oliver believes the experience of
Doctor Conwell is in line with other
spiritual revelations since the war, and
is another forerunner of startling and
remarkable discoveries Of the life after
death soon to be made.
He believes Doctor Conwell was under
the influence of his wifes spirit. but

result of the deep impression made on
his subconscious self by the revelations
and his own anxiety to see such an
apparition.

Sir Oliver Lodge is still carrying on
his work in connection with the ether
and the structure of atoms when at
home. He visited the United States
first in August, 1884, when he deliv-
cred an address before the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science in Philadelphia. He recalled
with great regret some events of his
stay in Philadelphia. particularly that
the thermometer registered 90 degrees
for several days and he was compelled
TO fly to Newport for relief.

In reply TO the question whether
