The Three day Chautauqua held here Friday, Saturday and Monday hy the Radcliffe Lyceum Bureau of Washington, D. C., proved a decided success both from a standpoint of , entertainment and attendance. The Meeting was held under a large tent erected on Main street where the Meetz* Hotetl formrelv stood and each performance was well attended. * The opening program for Friday aft ternoon was given by Capps Orches. tra, composed of five young finished -mu-:cians, and they delighted their audience in the afternoon and again that night with splendid music, select ed from the. most classic opera to the present day ragtime. Following Capps Orchestra, Dr. Henry Clarke of Chicago* captivated his hearers with a lecture entitled "Wake up America in which he appealed to the patriotism of our people to get ready to meet the emergency that must come during the present war. Again Friday night Dr. Clarke entertained the audience with another^lecture equally as interesting entitled "The Call of Democracy." This was another appeal to patriotism, and Dr. Clarke ivas wen reeeiveu uzi uetn Saturday morning at 11 o'clock Hiss Margaret Sturgeon personal jrepresentative of Herbert Hoover lec tured and gave practical demonstrations on "Mobilizing the American Kitchen to Help Win the War." She also gave demonstrations of how to use substitutes for meat, wheat etc. Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock iProf. Louis Williams of the University of Mipnisota gave an exhibition of "Some of the wonders of Science consisting of chemical experiments which were very interesting and instructive.

Transcript. - j Mr. Dreher spent several years in '! Gerrnanv as U. S. Cosul and as cork i '! respondent for the Associated Press. Pie was at Berlin when the European > war broke out and remained there as j Associated Press correspondent until war was declared upon Germany > | by the United States/when he with ! many other Americans returned to j h'S homeland. Mr. Dreher was a vis | itor in Lexington last summer while I visiting his brothers and other rela| tives at Selwood. ! Boston Transcript. The former valued correspondent j of The Transcript and former United 1 j States Consul William C. Dreher. long stationed in a Ger nan manufacturing town, later Associated j T ress correspondent in Berlin, and I I now on the editorial staff of the Ww York. Tribune, does not hold; ' I | out much hope to any expecting to: separate the German people from \ -their idols, the kaiser, his'heir ap-: parent, and the "kollossal" grab they have projected and prepared for 40 : years of the best of their iieighbors' lands, properties and ports. As for; revolution, Mr. Dreher says, "it is, verboten"?and that is enough fori ! the stupid and corrupted Germans j ' of the new empire proclaimed in Pari ' is in 1871, based upon rape of Alsace j | Lorraine and the Prussian burglaries j in Denmark and Austria preceding j that crime against human nature.Soj ! sure of his docile subjects is the kais-j er that he made no effort to limit I the circulation of President Wilson's | messages, on the contrary helped cir: | culate them as propaganda, Mr. Dre- j her says. It is a noteworthy fact., he adds, that the Vienna papers rejected the president's February message, more emphatically even than! I . _ ! the German press. The new party in German politics; : the "fatherland," is the typical pro! geny of Prussianism?a combina-: tion of Junker militarism and greatj ! coal, iron and finance magnates. It has swept the country with its pro-: I paganda. Newspapers have beeni bought at fancy prices, says Mr., Dreher, advertising spaces rented at unheard?of rates, pamphlets circu-^ lated on a lavish scale, and a prodi-1, gipus campaign carried on for a "Hin denburg peace," as the preliminary! of the pending Hindenburg campaign! in the heart of France. What Ger- j many is now banking on, says Mr. j Dreher, is that since the Russian breakdown she has for the first time a free hand on the west, and also a numerical superiority there. As to; America, the German calculations; . . . i is that with every stupioaa 01 our soldiers landed the difficulties of transportation will increase, like a rolling snowball, and American troops, with the submarine intensi-i ty increasing, will nevef reach France in sufficient numbers to affect the* Hindenburg decision now planned! and under execution. x Mr. Dreherj was always one of those correspondents who must tell what they see, and like Luther, " can no other." . The Germans, high and low, aristocrat and proletariat, militarist and indus-j trial and commercial, he states, are united in the slogan: "Despoil the enemy of his lands and goods." Such( is the "Fatherland," 1918! j I Classified Ads. ! ! For Sale?At Dispatch-News office:; Real Estate titles and Mortgages, Magistrates and lawyers blanks. * ! W ANTED?All the business men to i .
