He'll want to cry! eee Dr. J. B. Crowther, author of “The Wayfarer,” has addressed a word of counsel from his home In Philadel phia to the players here, “You are no longer in Seattle,” he says. “You are in Flanders, Baby- lon, Jerusalem and the Golden Age of the future yearn.

There were 11 children, and money was scarce, At 24 he came to America in the steerage and became a “sky pilot” on the bleak Dakota prairie, A year later he entered Dakota Wesleyan university, Tho student charge involved a 60-mile drive across the prairies by buggy. WINS HIGH HONORS IN HIS SECOND YEAR During his second year, with stu- dies in both “prep” and college de partments, he won collegiate, state and interstate oratorical contests in| |. succession with an oration on “Oliver Cromwell.” In his senior year the brethren of the conference turned him loose among their chufches, themselves assuming his student salary and ex penses, During his fing! year in college he conducted a missionary convention every Sunday, organized a prohibt- tion campaign which drove the sa- loong out of the college town, was president of the Students’ associa tion and editor-in-chiet of the egilege paper, He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1908, having complet- ed the eight years of preparatory and college work in six years.

Premier Craig, of Ulster, was back in Belfast, with Gen, Smuts on his trail, apparently in an effort to arrange hin participation in some way in fur- ther negotiations, Sinn Fein delegates here hesitated to comment on Cralg’s departure, after asserting that Ulster would de- mand recognition in the settlement. Sinn Feiners did not know whether Sir James was talking for the benefit of Ulaterites, or whether he had tho approval of Lioyd George, of Great Britain, If the latter were the case, it was certain the Sinn Feipers would withdraw immediately from the conferences, Meanwhile, Desmond Fitegerald, chief propagandist for the Sinn Fein- era, has asserted positively that Ul ster will not be admitted to the main conference, but will have to treat with Southern Ireland after peace is arranged with Great Britain. In view of the apparent deadlock, British officials were serious in pro- ceeding with plans for blotting out the Sinn Fein.
