Winchen To Speak
 To First Methodists
SalvatiOnist to Give Illustrated Lecture Tomorrow
 Nght-BiIled in Waterville Too

My Trial charged as Spy be- fore the German Military in Brus- sells" will be the subject of an il- lustrated lecture by Colonel Wal lace Winchell, of the Salvation Army at the First Methodist church tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock. This lecture will be illus trated by lantern slides with the only pictures brought from behind the German lines during the World war. How could Winchell take these pictures in 1916 just at the time America was at the breaking point? How could he. get through the German lines, and through England without being molested? :? A letter from the American min- ister in Holland, Dr Henry Van Dyke as well as other documen- tary proof will verify the story.
 A large fund had .been collected In Australia and sent to General Bramwell Booth in London, head of the Salvation Army, for the sole purpose of feeding and clothing Belgians in the occupied. country. The army chief appointed officers of high rank from European neu- tral countries, rst Switzerland, then Denmark. The German army re- fused them passports Herbert c. Hoover. then director of the com mission of relief in Belgium, was asked to intercede with the Ger man staff to see if they would not allow a Salvationist to work in con- nection with the relief commission. MT Hover replied: "If you will ap- point an American, native born, with stout heart. and mind ready to act wisely in an unexpect- ed situation, will present the matter to the German staff, in fact I will pay his passage both ways

 When the Salvationist reached England he found Mir Hoover was in New York. However. he went to Holland, and was told he was refused entrance into Belgium. He was told to wait two weeks until MT Hoover returned. In the inter- i'm Winchell visited the camps of interned Belgian refugees. The German agents, unknown to Win chell were wacthing him. He was found talking with a Mrs Bus sauard who was on the English army pay roll and the associate of the English nurse, Edith Cavill who was shot as a spy October 12 1915, by the German army about the time of Winchelrs arrival.
 When Mir Hoover returned from New York he said Major Winchel I have bad news for you. The Ger man military consider you spy in the uniform of Salvation Army" MT Hoover assured tho Salvationist that he would do his best General Vony Bissing, milf. tary governor of the civil popula. tIOH III DeiSluHl, LOlu MT I1OONei that Winchell would not be al. lowed in the occupied territory.

YOUTHS EXPLORE
 OLD MARVELCAV
Four College Lads Eat Only Chocolate on Odd
 Venture

s Reeds Springs. Mo (UP)-Mar- vel Cave, believed to be the oldest cave in existence known, is being explored again. Four college youths have been spending their Sundays penetrating far into the subterranean passages, which are estimated to have been formed 16,- 000,000 years ago.
 On their last trip the four youths went 1000 feet farther than any other person. At times they had to crawl through water over foot deep, and again inch through tun- nels hardly large enough for their bodies.
 Several new rooms were discov- cred as they ventured into the far confines of the cavern. One cham. Der has a quantity of leave pear1s", made by a process similar to that which causes pearls to form in oys- ters. A dry winter has made many of the passages accessible.
 The equipment carried by the explorers consists of a pencil, note book, compass tape, rope, and candle stubs. Torches are easily broken. Chocolate is used for food. ars

As, the biggest winter season radio has ever known fades into the past. we .unhesitatingly pass the palm for the consistently best entertainment of 1933-34 to Rudy Vailee's Thursday night variety hour. The high excellence of the program has been kept up week after week. giving Rudy a high place in the ranks of radios best showmen.
 Despite the fact that each week saw different guest stars and dif- ferent types of entertainment, the Vallee Varieties has been well rounded and unified during each broadcast. The success of the series can be credited mainly to Vallee's talent as organizer, director and master r-of-ceremonies.
