TALENT MOBPIZED '
FOR SOLDIER SHOWS
Thousands of Entertainers and
. Eqvipinent of Traveling
Ch.-vUtau'qnas to Aid
Army Y. M. C. A. '
T
The fentire organization and equip
ment of the traveling chautauquas of
the country are to furnish entertain
ment for the soldier bovs who are on
the way to the trenches.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion has been furnishing frequent and
popular entertainment, but there is
a demand for what the men term
"hiph-brow stuff" such as they were
accustomed to at home, End the "Y"
has arranged to suppty it
To effect" it the chautauqua and
lyccum movement of the whole coun-
l try has been mobilized by the Na
tional Var Work council of the
Young Men's Christian association,
and tents and other paraphernalia are
on the grounds or on the way to can
tonments. The Lyceum and Chau
tauque Managers' association has pro
vided a small army of lecturers, sing-
1 . !... .1. , ,
crs anu entertainers, me largest sin
gle entertainment project ever at
tempted in, this country.
- Dime for Dollar Show. j
This will not supplant the other
forms of entertainment which the
Young Men's Christian .association
has been providing in the various
camps, but will supplement the previ
ous work. Evervthinir furnished here
tofore has been free and in large part
nas Deen proqucea by home talent
meli in the camps. The new features,
-to be known as "Red Triangle pro
grams,"' will liave the finest talent to
be procured and the men will be al
lowed to share ia.the expense by pay
' ng a nominal admission of 10 rent
Ordinarily these entertainments cost
trom 5U cents to. SI.
Dr. Paul Mt Pearson of Swarth-
moi;e college; director of the Chautau
qua Association of Pennsylvania, has
been' named as director of the "Red
Triangle programs." He will have
at his disposal 400 chautauqua tents,
seating 2,000 each, with folding chairs,
lights and other accessories, and sev
eral thousand entertainers.
$o far as is possible the entertain-
ments will be held in big auditoriums
at the cantonments. Where these are
not finished and at National Guard
camps and other large camps the
tents will-be set up add three tinies

on VFrance," "Trench Warfare," "The
Mind of Germany" or other enlight
ening topics by one qualified to talk
or perhaps it will be "The Chimes of
Nprmandy," "The Mikado." "The Old
-Homestead'? or other favorites by
- good companies.
' Soldiers Want the Best.
The decision to put on this sort of
entertainment was reached after it
had been determined that the men
wanted to have in the camp 'the same
sort of entertainments as they had
been accustomed to attend. The sol
diers are just from home, where
there were lecture courses, chautau-
ouas, theaters, movies and the like.
They will not be satisfied with ,less
than the best. The fee will make'it
possible, without profit to the Young
Men's i Christian association, togive
a class of entertainments otherwise
imoossible.
In this way the oung Men's Chris
tian association is seeking to add to
the pleasures of the men learning the
business of war. There are all sorts
of other thing (athletics, sports,
games, "sings," educational, social
and religious meetings, the reading
and writing facilities, movies, dramat
ics and other stunts) to employ idle
. hands and minds during idle hours,
"for it is not all drill in camp. It
takes a lot of money and men to cjo
all thi3, but that it is worth while is
eyident from the expressions of the
men themselves. This came from a
man "somewhere in France" to his
stepfather In New York City:
"They teach up French here, the
teacher being a Young Men's Chris
tian association man who three
months ago was in Turkey. This
Young Men's1 Christian association
camp is O. K. We have stationery,
magazines, games, etc., ,not to over
look, phonograph records, church
services ami the before-mentioned
French lessons."

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR MAIL CLERKS
Letters Carrying Only Two
Cents Postage After No
vember 2 Will Not Be For- -warded
Until Paid in .Full.
Just two weeks of 2-cent postage
remain,and Omaha postoffice officials
fear confusion and delay of first class
mail will result when the new post
age rate of 3 cents goes into effect,
Friday, November 2.
According to the postal regulations,
letters mailed on and after November
2 with only 2 cents postage cannot be
forwarded to their destination. They
must be held until the full rate has
been paid. The greater part of first
class letters aqe mailed without the
address of the sender on the envelope.
Such letters will have to be opened
and, if the address of the' sender is not
on the inside, they must be sent to
the dead letter office.
"It will not be possible to forward
letters having the old amount of post
age on therfi." said Assistant Post
master Woodard. "The regulations
require that mail must have one full
first class rate of postage prepaid be
fore it can be forwarded.
Cannot Be Forwarded.
If a letter weighs over one ounce
and has onjy 3 cents postage on it, it
will be forwarded and postage due
collected from the person receiving
it. "But letters hiving only 2 cents
postage prepaid cannot be forwarded.
They will be held until the sender can
be notified. If the sender is not
known they must go to the dead letter
office."
Big sign's will be placed in the post
office corridors, placards at the stamp
windows wiltcall attention to the in
Creased postage rate. The officials are
preparing to do'al they can to notify
the public. But there is always a
large proportion of forgetful or care
less people and it is expected that
hundreds of letters will be held at the
local postoffice every day because of
failure to prepay-thp postage accord
ing to the new rate of 3 cents an
ounce. s
