For the past two years, Miss Menges has been winning success on the concert stage of the United States and Canada.

BARONESS HUARD PICTURES HORRORS OF WORLD STRUGGLE French Women Relates Tales of Fleeing Belgians and Her Own Part in War BARON GIVES INTERVIEW Think League of Nations Will Need Large Army to Quell German Uprisings Graphic, vivid human interest throbbed through the tale of the looting of her chateau near Chateau Thierry in the German invasion under General Von Kluck told by Madame Frances Wilson Huard at the natural science auditorium last night. From a description of her quiet life spent in her chateau sixty miles northeast of Paris, the baroness passed on to the relation of events attendant upon the sudden mobilization of the French army, the quick establishment of field hospitals, and the fleeing of more than a million Belgian refugees past her home. "French Can't Forget" Although Madame Huard admitted that she had seen none of the atrocities written of in the papers, her realistic telling of one or two of the tragic stories of moral and physical degradation sobbed out to her by refugees were terrible enough second hand. In speaking of the growing spirit of "forgiving and forgetting" in this country, the Baroness said very gravely, "Those of us who have lived this thing can never forget, cannot forgive."

MAROONS OUTPLAY HAWKEYES IN FAST GAME LAST NIGHT Iowa Holds Fast Chicago Five to 5 to 4 Score in First Half of Game FINAL COUNT IS 22 TO 10 Cotton and Nicholaus Play Brilliant Game-Whole Team Fights Bravely Iowa lost a whirlwind game to the champion Maroon quintet last night by a score of 22 to 10 after giving the visitors one of the best battles they have had this season. From the time of the first whistle, the monster crowd which packed the gymnasium was in a continual uproar. For seven minutes neither team cold get close to the hoop, and then Hinkle made a long weird shot that went true. Cotton twisted free and shook the net for the Hawkeyes a few minutes later. In spite of the difference in weight the smaller Old Gold men clearly out fought the Chicago five and finally succeeded in taking the lead when Cotton broke loose and dribbled the entire length of the floor for a sensational ringer. A basket by Burkoff gave the Maroons the lead again and the first half ended with the score 5 to 4 in Chicago's favor. Iowa continued to cover the visitors closely in the second period with a five man defense, but long shots that characterized the Maroon play suddenly began to find the hoop, giving Page's men a longer lead. At this point the game grew unusually rough and referee Young was forced to call a great number of fouls. Brown was slightly off color on the foul line and Chicago boosted its lead by taking advantage of these free opportunities. Cotton and Nicholaus played brilliant basketball for Iowa although the whole team fought the visitors to a standstill. For Chicago, Gorgas and Burkoff were the outstanding stars. Lineup and summary: Iowa (10) Chicago(22) Cotton RF Burkoff Berrien (c) LF Williams Olson C Gorgas (c) Nicholaus RG Crisler Brown LG Hinkle Substitutes: Finlayson for Olson.
