THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 22, 1023
1 NOTED " SPEAKERS
TO LECTURE IRE
Sir Gilbert Parker and E. A.
Powell Coming.
EACH KNOWN AS WRITER
Englishman ?tvelist and Amer
ican Correspondent In
Several Wars.
Two distinguished lecturers are
to visit Portland within the near
future, one being Sir Gilbert Parker,
author of "The Right of Way" and
other famous novels of worldwide
circulation. The other is Major E.
Alexander Powell, veteran war cor
respondent and author of "Asia at
the Crossroads."
The latter will be the first to
make his appearance. He is booked
to apeak on the Portland Lyceum
course at the Lincoln high school
auditorium the night of October 26.
The Portland lecture of Major
Powell is one of a number he Is
making on a tour of western states.
Major Powell has seen years of
service on the fighting lines in many
foreign wars and during the world
war he served with distinction as a
combatant.
Books to Be Discussed.
Sir Gilbert Parker's lecture will
deal with books. It is fittingly
named "Books and the Man." The
internationally-known author is also
widely known as a publicist and
statesman. He is a member of the
English parliament.
He is in America on a trans
continental tour under the auspices
of the International Lyceum and
Chautauqua association and 13
scheduled to speak in 11 cities of
the United States. Portland will
hear the notable the night of
November 2, when he will appear
at the Heilig theater. One of the
objects of the lecture tour is to
strengthen the friendship between
England and the United States.
Sir Gilbert Parker Is perhaps best
known as the author of "The Right
of "Way," although his novels, all
of them popular - with the reading
public, run into the round dozens
in number. His latest book, "Car
nac's Folly," is just off the press
and is proving one of the literary
sensations of the fall.
Political I,ife Important.
Sir Gilbert is also a prominent
figure in English and in world,
politics. He has been a member of
parliament for many years and has
also figured largely on special com
missions and important embassies
during the war, and he bears a
definite message to America. He is
said to be as clever a speaker as
he is a wrfter.
His lecture will be filled with bits
of wit, humor and pathos that will
have a wide appeal. In view of
the stupendous events that are now
taking place in England the speaker
will undoubtedly .have some illumi
nating views to impart to America.
Although he has made his home
in England for many years. Sir
Gilbert is by birth a Canadian, and
received his education at Trinity
college in Toronto. Following his
graduation he spent a number of
years traveling in the east, in
Europe, Asia, Egypt and the South
Sea Islands. Later he organized an
expedition into the wilds of northern
Canada. All of this time he was
writing and gathering, a fund of
first-hand knowledge for his novels
which were to follow. He began
his public career in 1909, when he
was elected to parliament from
Garverent, serving In that capacity
until 1918. For two and a half
years during the war he had charge
of American publicity, and is now
a member of the government over
seas committee.
His Portland appearance will be
nder the auapices of Ellison-White.
Powell in Near East.
Major Powell has lately returned
from an extensive tour of investi
gation throughout Anatolia, Syria,
Palestine, northern Arabia and, in
deed, all the lands where the name
of Mustapha Kemal today is a by
word, on the one hand of devotion,
on the other of terror.
He said just, after his return to
America: "The only solution of
the near eastern question which, in
my opinion, can give any guarantee
of lasting peace in that troubled
region is the internationalization of
the Dardanelles under a mixed com
mission on which such nations as
Spain, Holland, Norway and Sweden
fire represented; the cession to
Jugo-Slavia of Salonika, which is
that country's logical outlet on the
Aegean; the granting to Bulgaria!
or a mucn-needed outlet on the
Aegean; the creation of a buffer
state between the southern frontier
of Bulgaria and the Enos-Midia
line, and the restoration to Turkey
of the territory up to that line
(territory inhabited by an over
whelming Moslem population); and
the undisputed retention by the
Turks of an unfortified Constanti
nople and of the whole of Anatolia,
which is their homeland.
Jiian Is Denied.
"I am not at this moment domi
nantly pro-Turk or dominantly pro
Greek dominantly in favor of any
thing ave a settlement of the who"le
w-retehed business before it is too
late to settle any part of it."
This plea for peaceful settlement
comes from a man who ran away
from college to join the British
forces fighting in Africa and whose
life ever since has been chiefly
spent on the fighting lines as cor
respondent in - many wars and as
active combatant in the American
expeditionary force service in
France, where he won with dis
tinction his rank of major.
the Union Pacific has offered a $75
scholarship and traveling expenses
to and from Washington State col
lege to the winner among boys' and
girls' club workers in Lewis county
for the year. The winner, who will
be selected by a committee com
posed of Mr. Fowler, F. L. Audrain,
state club leader, and Miss Z. May
Meighen, Lewis county superintend
ent of schools, will be enabled to
take a special two weeks' course in
farming offered by the state college
COP WHIPS TWO PUGS
Drunk and Disorderly Fighters
Are Put tinder Arrest.
B. G. Smith is a policeman. Billy
Ryan and "Oakland Jimmie" Lewis
are prizefighters. Both are good in
their line. Smith would probably
last not more than a minute in the
ring with either one. But law en
forcement, not prizefighting, ' is
Smith's business, and when Lewis
and Ryan broke the law Friday
night Smith went through his
tricks.
At Broadway and Washington, the
policeman found the two drunk and
noisy and in mean humor. They
resisted arrest. Followed ten min
utes, at the end of which Smith as-
