ANECDOTES OF GREAT WRITERS TOLD BY GREEN

Jubilee Singers Give Program at Chautauqua Tonight Hruby Orchestra Ttmorrow Friday Evening. . " 7:30 Jubilee Singers. 8:15 Lecture, Francis H. Green, "Life's Musical Scale." Saturday, August 31. 2:00 Water Carnival, Y. M. C. A. sports. Hawkins' pond. N 3:00 Concert, Hruby Bohemian orchestra. 7:30 Prelude, Hruby Bohemian orchestra, j 8:15 Lecture, Douglas Malloch. The afternoon lecture of Francis H. Green, "A Literary Ramble About Boston" was almost "too good to be true" as it often has been characterized according to Mr. Green, but never the less the experiences were real, and all occurred at a visit to Boston, at Thanksgiving time, 1890. After a stroll over Boston Commons and over to Copley Square where he heard Phillip Brooks deliver a wonderful Thanksgiving sermon, over to"Xoncord and out to Cambridge, and In Mt. Auburn cemetery, which is the Westminster of America, Mr. Green was fortunate enough to meet Lowell in his own home and have a half hour's talk with him, over his poems, when the greatest of American poets, according to Mr. Green, told how he came to write the Vision of Sir Launfal. Also he talked with j Holmes and on the next day, with Whlttier each in their own homes. The lecture was filled with many 'quotations and interesting incidents. The evening lecture will be a plea for harmonious life, and will not be a war lecture. MALLOCH SPEAKS TOMORROW Douglas Malloch, the lecturer who will supply the vacancy on the program Saturday evening caused by the illness of Bertrand Lyon, is recommended by Francis H. Green as being one of the best versifiers of America. His lecture also probably will be of a popular nature, according to J. H. Bentley. the platform manager. The Hruby Bohemian Orchestra is unique in being a single family, all seven members being excellent musicians who are recommended as giving most pleasing entertainments. Friday the Chautauqua audience were treated to the unequaled wholesome spirit of the Jubilee singers who gave the ever-favorite folk songs and campmeeting melodies in their two appearances. The final lecture of Charles C. Ellis was given Friday morning at 11:00 o'clock, his subject being "Horace Mann." who, said Dr. Ellis, has one of the greatest messages to all Amcrl- . cans. Bentley Gives War Talk. "Teaching the war" was again discussed by J. H. Bentley at the ten o'clock lecture Friday morning, end the facts which teachers can and should lay before the children were moot vividly and clearly brought out. Mr. Bentley brought out that in this war we know more clearly what we are fighting about than any other war in which America has ever before been engaged, so that the teacher, by saturating himself with the great fundamental causes of the war, may watch the current events from day to day and point out to the children how they bear on the issues which underly the gigantic struggle. Mr. Bentley made a rapid survey of the causes of the war. At the Chautauqua HEARD ON THE GROUNDS. "Chief Caupolican said he was the only dancing 4-minute-man at large, but I wouldn't have called it quite that. I'd say he was the only elephant-hopping 4-minute-man out of the asylum." "Oh-h-h, did you hear-r-r that n-8-slmply heav-v-venly violinist playing 'I'm sorry I made you cry' If St. Peter would guarantee that Crawford Adams would be up there with a piano and drums, and a good floor, I'd go to Sunday school the rest of my life." (One loyal eight-year-old, munching crackerjack.) "Well, they can talk about anybody being a good singer they want to, but you ought to hear Patsy sing 'Te-a-di-a"; he can Just beat them all." "There may bo fifty-seven ways of spelling Caupolican, but there are a hundred and fifty-seven opinions about him after his lecture." "If California is the land of the lemon and the home of the nut, it must have an annex in South America." "But honestly, if I'd ever see Chief Caupolican standing on the edge of a lake with the moon coming up through the trees behind him, and hear him begin to sing, I'd understand how some women can bo contented to be Indians." BOSTON STREETCAR MEN OUT BOSTON. Aug. 30. Traffic on the Middlesex and Boston street railway which serves 22 towns near here, was completely tied up early today by a strike. Thousands of workmen, many of them employed in plants engaged on government contracts, were unable to report for duty. The company announced that it expected to operate oars later in the day.

War Will End in Closer PanAmericanism, Says Caupolican

"Let us make the greatest boast of our future generations be the one which ours now is, 'I am an American,'" said Chief Caupolican, in his speech Thursday evening to the four thousand listeners who overflowed the auditorium. Arrayed in his picturesque costume of the native Indian, and pleading for the highest American spirit of liberty and brotherhood, not only between the republics of North and South Americas, but for the whole world, the chief presented a unique and vivid Impression among the varied speakers on the Chautauqua program this year. His lecture was divided onto three parts: First, a rambling entertainment made up of Indian songs and witticisms; second a patrotic plea for preparation to do even more during the coming Liberty Loan drive, and ending with an Impersonation of a Yanke rube. As an aboriginal American, the chief bade welcome to his "pale-faced brothers" In the land of liberty and equality, and in his patriotic address pleaded that we be worthy of the heritage which has been pased down to us while we hand it down to future generations unstained. "It is beautiful to see America at war," said the chief. "Already three Liberty Loans have been made, but we are prepared for the fourth and the fourteenth if need be. And I believe the time is coming when every citizen of the United States will own one. The ration is awake. We are no longer pro-this and pro-that, no longer Democrats or Republicans, no longer any hyphenated citizens, we are Americans. i "Our faces are aglow. Never has aj nation gone to war with hearts as light as ours are today. Even the Crusaders seem selfish in comparison. For the Crusaders went forth to save their own souls, and there was petty Jealousy between the leaders of the nations. "Today our soldiers are fighting for their children and their children's children; to make the world a beautiful place to live in, safe for democracy." The chief urged that the citizens re

Spirit of Intense Eagerness Animates U. S. Troops in France

AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN FRANCE, Aug. 30. The spirit which animates the Americans here is the same as that of the front line trenches, in the words of the General commanding. It is an inspiration of intense eagerness. This Is shown by the fact that under the stress of haste to send American soldiers to the fighting front, the time required to unload the greatest American transports, bringing 12,000 troops, coal her and start her back to America, has been reduced from four days to forty hours. This is the best deep-water port of western continental. Europe, with a harbor capable of receiving the navies of the world, .and yet up to this time, when the Americans came here six months ago it was practically undeveloped and unused. It was estimated that the facilities might possibly permit the landing of 20,000 men a month. But with 250,000 men a month coming from America, something had to be done on a gigantic scale and done quickly. Fortunately the emergency produced the men . An American brigadier general who has planned and executed some of the great engineering projects of the west, and an American Admiral who has the reputation of accomplishing large things in a quiet way; around them were grouped men of the same talents. Out of it has arisen this marvelous receiving port of today, where one day's landing of 45,000 men has been followed next day Ty 15,000 60,000 in two days or at the unheard rate of 900,000 a month. And the strange thing has been that the port has not felt or even known of the huge migration passing through its gates, so quietly and smoothly the organization has functioned. It is the same with the handling of the Immense stocks of war supplies as it is with the handling of troops. Six months ago it was estimated that 6,000 tons a month could be handled. Actually more than that is handled daily, and this is not the main port for supplies, as it is for men. A large measure of credit for the high record in debarking troops is given by the General to the officer in charge of t!Te several thousand negro stevedores. This officer has had a remarkable career which exactly equips him for the present huge undertaking. He was a Liverpool docker, who went to the United States with the Cunard company, and worked up to the position of terminal superintendent at Boston. As an expert and master of docking he was appointed a major in the army. But he forgets all about being a major when he takes command of those 2,000 black stevedores and a great ocean steamer heaves into sight with thousands of men aboard who must be landed on record time. All the old spirit of the Liverpool docker comes back again, he becomes a human dynamo, and the army of black stevedores follow him with the same eagerness that men follow their leader "over the top." Here are some examples showing just what this means: Has Commercial Future. When the greatest of American transports first came over it took 52 days to unload her at Liverpool. The next trip was better 28 days. Then on the third trip it was decided to send her to this French port where the Americans had begun to take things over. It was a risky experiment, they thought. But they failed to reckon on the major and his black stevedores, for this is the remarkable record of how the great vessel has been handled at this port: First 1 arrival 10,000 men and supplies unloaded and the ship coaled and sent back in four days. Second arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in three days. Third arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in forty-eight hours. Fourth arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in forty hours. The magnitude of euch an accom

member they not only should stand behind the army, but close behind; so close that we almost are with the army. "The war was settled when the American eagle dropped the sprig of olive of peace from its beak and took up the thunderbolt of war," Chief Caupolican declared. Five of the South American republics already have taken their places beside the allies, he pointed out. and the chief believes that out of the mighty conflict which is taking place will come a more closely united PanAmericanism. The Richmond engagement was next to the last which Chief Caupolican. is to fill on the Chautauqua platform, and he was almost exhausted with the effort of open air speaking, he said. The moving mass of strolling passersby just outside the tent had grown confusing to him and the easy coming and going of members in the audience itself was so different from the theatre audience before which he is used to appearing that he wearily vowed he never, would undertake Chautauqua work again. The chief has one of the most varied careers to his record of anyone who has ever visited the Chautauqua platform of this city. Leaving his home in Chili when only four years old, Caupolican was taken to France, since his mother was a Frenchwoman. The lad was sent to school in France for several years, then returning to Chili he studied there for a short time, before going to sea for a time, where he learned English. Later he studied voice in Paris, and after completing his work there traveled through European countries, gaining his education from experience rather than in a college or university. "I love my people of the South, and I live to see the Americas drawn together into one great Pan-American union," said the chief. "But I am not going back. My father, Prince Caupolican, Is still living and ruling now, and when he no longer is there, my half brother can take his plage. The world is too big and interesting for me. Some day, after the war, I think I should like to go on the stage, to be in opera."

plishment may be judged by the fact that 5.000 tons of coal has to be put on the huge transport to send her back, and all of this must be loaded from lighters as her 41 feet of draft keeps her far out in the harbor. And all this in forty hours besides debarking 10,000 troops on lighters and several thousand tons of steel and emergency war cargo. Americans seem to have discovered for the first time that this port is nearer New York than any of the great ports, and is thus on the great commercial highroad from the west to continental Europe. This holds out a brilliant future for the port in" the after the war commercial renaissance. i One of the foremost American engin eers recently said he would like to undertake to make this the great commercial port of Europe, and he believed this would certainly resu't from the American development incident to the war. So that, besides landing soldiers and supplies here, America is paving the way to making this the first port of Europe and the landing terminal for the commercial penetration of Europe from the west. j ELDORADO, OHIO !

ITALIAN SUPPORT URGED BY LITTORAL (By Associated Preast WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Expressing the attitude of peoples along the Adriatic littoral still subject to Austrian power. 27 former deputies in the Austro-Hungarian parliament, representing the provinces of Trieste Fiole, Dalmatia and Istrla, met ill Rome recently, according to official dispatches received here and adovlatf the following resolutions: "The Adriatic section of the political association of unredeemed Italians and exiled deputies who represented in Austria-Hungary, the population of the eastern Adriatic littoral, conscious of their duties not only towards the people whom they represent and of whom they interpret the feeling and aspirations, but also of their duty towards Italy, which they consider their mother country, declare that the policy of the oppressed nationalities neither requires nor justifies renunciations on the part of Italy of any part of the treaty of London which constitutes a settlement in which Italy relinquished vital parts of her just aspirations. Any renunciation on the part of the Italy will benefit none of the oppressed Austrian nationalities and will strengthen the enemy. "The representatives of the abovementioned provinces make a fervent appeal to all Italians to uphold firmly for the sake of the oppressed subjects the Italians aspirations on the eastern Adriatic littoral, and to avoid any controversy which may shake and diminish the effort exerts against the common enemy."
