Winston Churchill
 Coming To America
Stormy Petrel of British Politics to Make Extensive
 Speaking Tour Through States Next Fall

World Crisis that have proved among the most popular books cov- ering any phase of the World war that have to far been written. Churchill, himself, has also suggest ed that he would be willing to talk on the general subject Youth and Adventure, in which he doubtless would relate of his amazing exper1- ences beginning in the Boer war.
 It is well known that Winston Churchill is one of the outstanding orators of the English h-speaking world, and one of the keenest de- baters in the English parliament.
 MT Wickes did not state the amout that MT Churchill is to re- ceive for his lectures, but intimated that the honorarium to be paid MT Churchill will considerably exceed the amount that any other English man has reveiced for lectures in this country.
 During the World war he played a conspicuous wart, holding the post of minister of munitions during the most critical period of the war. More recently, Churchill has demonstrated that he can write history as well as make 1t. His four books on The World Crisis" dealing with the World war, have had wide circulation in this country as well as abroad. More recently, his book "A Rowing Com mission, which is story of his early life, has had thousands of readers.
 It will be remembered that Churc- hill is England's most interesting living personality.
 Born in 1874. Winston Spencer Churchill was the oldest son of the late Rt Hon Lord Randolph Churc- hill, who was the seventh son of the Duke of Marlborough. He was edu- cated at Harrow and Sandhurst; en- tering the army in 1895. he was at tached as a military observer with the Spanish forces in Cuba during the Spanish-American war; served in India in 1897; in the Nile Expedi- tionary force in 1898. and wasNpres- ent at the battle of Khartoum. He served as a lieutenant of the South African Light Horse during the Boer war where he received the first world wide publicity. Practically his entire adult life has been spent in public service, having been a mem- Der of the British cabinet most of the time since 1908. From 1911 to 1915 he was first lord of the admir- alty. In 1917 he became minister of munitions in Lloyd Georges cabinet, and was secretary of state for war in 1918. More recently. he was chancel- Tor of the exchequer dring the Stan- ley Baldwin government. He is mar ried and has three daughters and one son, the latter having visited the United States on an extensive lecture tour this season.

Protestant Comment
 On Pope's Message

New York. Feb 16-UP)-Com- ment of speakers in Greater New York pulpits yesterday credits the recent radio address of Pope Plus XI with revealing universal interest of mankind .n religion.
 That 1000 persons should knecl in the streets as they heard the voice of the Pope should not shock protestanEs," the Rev Christian r. Reisner of Broadway Temple Metho- dist church, declared.
 '"The world listened to one man not alone because he claimed to be the head of the church, but because he dealt with religion, a subject in which all mankind is interested" he said.
 Distinctions that separate the Papacy from the Protestant groups were branded as Superficial" by Rev Robert rTorwood, speaking to his St Bartholomews Protestant Episcopal congregation.
 T was overwhelmed with excite ment that a splendid and cultured
