KERENSKY AT MARIETTA

Mrs. Evelyn T. Button. principal
of M. & M. high school, and sister,
Miss Augusta True, were at Ma
rietta Monday night and heard Alex
ander Kerensky, premier of Russia
in 1917. At times it was difficult
to catch each word of the carefully
prepared address of the noted Rus
sian exile. He started using spoken
English just 10 months ago The
lecture was presented under the aus
plces of Marietta college. In 1917
kerensky attempted to set up
Russian republic; but the regime he
eventually headed lasted about
eight months, and was then over
thrown by a counter revolution of
Lenin, Trotsky and their followers.
With price on his head, Kerensky
hid in a Russian village for seven
months and then escaped by way of
the Arctic ocean in June, 1918, and
has since continued from exile to
further the struggle of democracy in
Europe. This is his second visit to
the United States, having been here
last spring, then returning about
two months ago.

years since the Friends" organiza-
ton came into being, Mr.. White has
given not only cash contributions
but has sent more than one hun

a number of the volumes were in
circulation on the day the picture
was made
Mr.. Whites reading tastes cover
wide range of subjects: biography,
travel. international politics, domes-
tic political opinion, American his
tory. the totalitarian governments

America and philosophy.
Also is shown the bookplate Of
