would be best to get along without

of a formal Military ball.

SECY EWING TO SPEAK HERE
Former Secretary of University Y. M.
C. A. Has Been Engaged in
Work in Prison Camps
R. L. Ewing, formerly secretary of
the University Y. M. C. A., who has
been engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in
the prison camp sof Europe, will speak
at Convocation this morning.
Mr. Ewing spoke at the St. Paul's
Methodist church Sunday night on the
subject, "Prisoners of War, an Inter
national Asset," saying in part:
I "Everyone should study the present
war because it affects him and his
generation and is taking place in the
seat of the highest civilization.. The
most scientific and highly civilized na
tions of the world are employed in
murdering one another. There are
over 25,000,000 men engaged in, the
struggle, and nearly 3,uuu,uuu prison
ers.
"In ancient times the unfortunates
captured in war were put to death;
later on they were used in the glad
iatorial fights to amuse the spectators.
Then they came to be used as slaves
in the galleys. But now they are
treated in a more humane manner.
This treatment is due to the influence
of Christianity upon the nations of
the world."
