BIG INTERNATIONAL WAR WORK
OF Y.M. C. A. TOLD BY MR. EDDY
Need of Money and Trained Women
to Carry on Work at the Front
What the Y. M. C. A: huts, fronted with
their red triangles, mean to the men of
the Allied armies, and to those in the
Allied and enemy prison camps, was viv-
idly told by Mr. Sherwood Eddy, the
noted Y. M. «. A. preacher, at a meeting
in Taylor Monday afternoon. Mr. Eddy
has just returned from a tour of the
Western battte front, and is already on
his way to Russia.
The speaker described the Student
Friendship Fund, which is being raised
by American students to benefit men in
the Allied armiés and the European
prison camps through the Y. M.:C. A. and
to aid the Hostess Houses of the training
camps at home and abroad through the
¥.W. CG. A.
Trained women, well rounded pbhys-
ically, mentaily and morally, are needed
by the Y. M. C. A. abroad, according to
Mr. Eddy.
Over $1,000,000 of this fund has already
been raised, Vassar giving $15,000 and
Wellesley $16,900.
“If I don’t win another battle I'll win a
moral one”, General Pershing is quoted
as saying to Mr. Eddy when they were
mapping out the war work of the Y. M.
C. A. together.
French Poet Due in December
M. Vatar Was Once His Pupil
M. Antoine Lebraz, poet and novelist,
will speak on ‘“‘Le Genie Francais”, under
the auspices of the French Club next
Tuesday, December 4th, at four-fifteen, in |
Taylor Hall. M. Lebraz has spoken here
several times before and feels that he
knows Bryn Mawr thoroughly.
Having married an American, M. Le-
braz spends much of his time in this
country. He was born in Brittany and
many of his novels deal with that section
of France. M. Vatar, Associate Professor
in Italian, was formerly his pupil at a
French university.

OWN ADAPTATION OF SCOTCH
SONGS ON WARLICH’S PROGRAM
Artist Born in Russia and a United
LIEDER SINGER’S REFERTOIRE
HAS RANGE OF FIVE TONGUES
A number of stirring Scotch folk songs
which he has adapted to modernized har-
monjc settings will mark the climax of
Reinhold Warlich’s concert in Taylor
Friday evening, December 7. Mr. War-
lich worked out these adaptations during
the past summer in collaboration with
his friend and associate, Fritz Kreisler.
His skillful re-creation and sympathetic
interpretation of the old ballads have at-
tracted a great deal of favorable com-
ment.
Writing of his political and civil status,
Mr. Warlich says:
“Having a German sounding name,
and through my friendship and close
artistic affiliation with the Austrian vio-
linist, Fritz Kreisler, people thought I
was a German. I was born in Pet-
rograd, Russia, as the son of the Director
of the Imperial Russian Court music, now
of the ‘Orchestre Nationale;’ my father
is a Russian citizen and a general, and
I have two half-brothers, one an officer
in the Russian navy and another a pris-
oner in Germany who was, before the
outbreak of the war attached to the Rus-
sian Consul General in Berlin as consult-
| ing civil engineer and taken prisoner by
| the Germans after outbreak of hostilities.
| “I came to this country as quite a
| young man and became a citizen in 1901,
dividing my time between this country
|and Europe. I was chauffeur for the
French Red Cross during practically the
first 14 months of the war and returned
to this country in November, 1915, to
take up my concert work again and raise
+ money for different charities in France.
