THE FLAVOR LASTS CHAUTAUQUA OPENS WITH GOOD TALENT The Chapel Singers appeared on the platform Wednesday afternoon before a very large and responsive audionce. The first part of the re cictal was made up of sacred music oratorio and hymn numbers. In the second part there was a selection from Rigoletto and some- popular song numbers. The musicians seemed to be equally effective in the various themes. The voices were blended and balanced and the music was fine. The recital was a genuine chautaHqua success. Mr. Lewis A. Convis delivered a very interesting story of Russia and Poland ' Wednesday evening. Mr, Convis, as a captain of the Polish Legion, saw much of tho Russian pepole and those of Poland. ' The Si berian country is a vast domain of cities, plains, mountains, lakes. The lakes and rivers are wonderful. One of the lakes is over four hundred miles long, the largest in the world. Contrary to the general opinion, some of the cities are very large. One of them has a quarter of a million peo ple. They have fine buildings and homes, but no municipal improve' ments no water, no paving and no light plants. Water is carried to the people in barrels and some of it is actually filthy. The Russians are tdealiatic, exceptionally warm-heart ed and hospitable. Only Jlf teen per cent of the people can read and write. They have really been out of serfdom for, only - Bixty " years and" therefore can you wonder that they are not self-governing. But even Czardom itself was a thousand times more tol erable than Bolshevism. The old royal guard is now serving., the Bol- shevie government, but In his soul he is cursing it.' The Russian people are not Bolahovic. They hate it, but fear the tyranny of - Lenlne and Trotzky. An illustration of this was given in the fact that for every sol dier guilty of desertion, " his entire family and kin are . ordered to be shot. ' Poor Russia; there Is little help for her. It Is a matter of time and pa tience until she develops somegreat and good men to lead the people into the light of civilization. In Russia and Siberia the armies are now led by German officers, who wore formerly prisoners of war, and these Germans are busy .Prussianiz ing Russia: Russians have no polit ical freedom, no civil liberties.. ; Mil lions of them are as poor as a church mouse, -but they love mysticism and romance and they sing while they are suffering with! misfortune, - Mr. Convis spoke of the Poles, a wonderful people and a glorious lit tle Republic. Not so small either when we consider that Poland has thirty-five millions of people. Poland has produced some great men and women. Kosciusko, the friend of American freedom, was a Pole. The Poles have produced statesmen, war riors, men of science, art, music. The point brought out in Mr. Con- vis' lecture, as was also suggested "by Mr. Flowers, is that the immigration of Bolshevists, anarchists and the scum of the earth, who come here to breed rebellion and hatred and to spread contamination of the mind and body, should be stopped at once. The doors of foreign immigration should be closed tight if there is no other way to prevent it.. So far the weight of the Chautauqua influence is directed against this evil, and the people should take it up untfl. Con gress iscompeled to recognize the movement.. If Europe cannot treat with us without requiring a hospital in America for all the outcast human debris of foreign lands, then let Eu rope go to Hades or any other seaport. Mr. Convis, altho not altogether effective as a platform orator, had a most Interesting story, and the large audience enjoyed Jt thoroly. - Kerr-Henderson. Mr. J.
