THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1U17. 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 9 tirAAtf iVta man mill Ita. 1 ..a 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 MY Clothes ABOUT YOURS? r v.- 1 W Li " ' .
