A WORD PICTURE Graphically Given at K. of I*. Home by Risca Williams, Survivor OF THE LUSITANIA Splendid Concert W as Also (liven by the Welch Concert CompanyRisca Williams, baritone, author and composer; Miss Gwen Richards, soprano and accompanist, and Ben Davies, tenor, making up the personnel of the Royal Welch Concert company, gave a splendid entertainment last evening to a large audience at the Knights of Pythias hall, under the auspices of the high school. Professor Sarig. prlnciplal of the high

school, introduced the company. Mr. Williams was one of the fourteen singers of the Welch Concert company who survived the wrecking of the Lusitania, and the last part of the program was a talk in which he told graphically of this most awful tragedy, which was one of the things leading up to the United States’ entrance into the great world war. At the time of the disaster, in May, 1915, Mr. Williams, with nine of the fourteen singers of the concert company were enroute home on the Lusitania to spend a couple of months’ vacation at their home in Wales, after a tour of this country in chautauqua work, before again starting on Chautauqua work. He told of the happy opening of the day, when they drew within sight of the hills of Ireland, and realized that their journey home was nearly done. Mr. Williams, with others, were seated at luncheon, when the ship was torpedoed, resulting in her sinking eighteen minutes later. He told in a clear word picture, of the terrible disaster, his rescue after five hours, with five others of his company. whom he found clinging to an overturned life boat, after a long struggle in the water. Mr. Williams, having secured a life saver from his room, had rushed to the rail of the boat and when he saw that it was about to sink, he jumped into the water. striking the ocean feet first. With the aid of the life belt and being able to swim he held onto wreckage until he reached the upturned boat, where he found other members of his company clinging and” the party was later taken aboard a rescue ship. These five Welch Concert company members were the ones who began the song, “Abide With Me,” which was taken up later by the few hundreds of the survivors and sung as they struggled in the water, clinging to floating wreckage and trying to keep above water until rescue par lies should come. The rescue occurred about 7 o’clock that evening, and the delight of being once more on firm ground, at Queenstown, was expressed. However, in Queenstown, the next morning, the tragedy was emphasized again when the hundreds of dead bodies were recovered. Among the missing tvere three members of their own company, whom they never saw again. Mr. Williams is a composer, and a song sung in closing was one of his own, "’Neath the Flag of the U. S. A.,” the audience standing and cheering as he concluded. The song, "America,” was sung by the audience at the close of the entertainment.

| The musical part ' of the program 1 which preceded the lecture was very 1 good, and the members of the com- , pany proved themselves artists of excellent ability. Tire program opened with the soprano, tenor and baritone trio I “Soldiers’ Chorus," from the opera ’ “Faust. Mr. Davies in a beautiful tenor voice, sang the following numbers, responding several times with encores, “Two Eyes of Gray,” “The Deathless Army,” “At Dawning” and Totsi’s ’’Good-bye.” Miss Richards pleased the audience with two numbers, singing “A Birthday” and “The Birth of Morn.” She responded with an encore giving the planologue. “The Game of Make Believe.” Mr. Williams has a voice of much cultivation and sang very sweetly the following sclectious, “Pals, “Somewhere a Voice is Calling,” and “’Neath the Flag of the U. S. A.” The tenor and baritone duet, “Flow Gently Ueva," was well received, j From here the members of the company left today for Fort Wayne, wliero they will give an entertaiu- , inout this evening.
