That doesn't mean that those who hear him are doomed to listen to a cut and dried war-talk. , a Hardly. Colonel Graves, as Tin nth. er lecturer on the American platform has the gift of vitalizing whatever subject he chooses and in his long career of public service as a newspa perman and as. a platform lecturer he has used that gift to inspire and to lead his fellow men. During the war ne gave ireeiy ot his time to the gov ernment and was a towering figure in the success of the Liberty Loan campaigns particularly in the South. He is not only thinker and orator, he is in his eloquence an inspiration. For nearly 20 years he has been a monumental platform figure. For quite as long he has been an out standing figure in .the journalism of America. During those 20 v years his headquarters were Washington where he enjoyed the intimacy of America's greatest men. From such experience he will speak, when he talks on "Armageddon,'- one has only to -k?.iow his quality to know what a treat there is in store.
