UNIVERSITY TO HEAR DR. MOTT

The Hon. John R. Mott, LL.D., who through his work as Secretary of the Foreign Department of the Young Men's Christian Association has probably more intimate knowledge of the whole European battleground than any other man in the country, will speak to all members of the University in New Lecture Hall next Thursday evening at 6.45 o'clock. Since the outbreak of the war Dr. Mott has made four trips abroad and on three of these he visited every one of the warring nations, this last visit being to the Allied Nations only. In Germany he was permitted by the Imperial Government to make thorough investigations of prison-camps, as well as conditions among the German army.

Dr. Mott was appointed a member of the American Commission to Russia headed by Elihu Root, and because of his recent return from this field he will have much to tell concerning the present situation in Russia. He was offered the ambassadorship to China by President Wilson, but he refused the post because of his important work in connection with soldiers. The University will be the only college in the country at which Dr. Mott will speak in the nation wide campaign which he is making for the Red Triangle War Work.
