DOC WELLS GIVES LECTURE
 
The Lecture given by Doc Wells at the Emma Theatre last Friday afternoon and 
evening drew a crowed house.  The message from the battle fields and trenches 
and the treatment to the prisoners taken by the Germans caused a stillness to 
settle over the large audience that spoke louder than words.  We have read of 
many hellish deeds done at the hands of the German Officers, and the cruelty 
to innocent women and children, but did not give full credit to the reports; 
but to sit and listen to the heart rending story from the lips of a British 
soldier relating his own personal experience and who was an eye witness to the 
most damniable deeds ever perpetrated at the hands of a human being would put 
fight and patriotism in any man.  Doc Wells is an educated man and a splendid 
speaker, and his lectures will do much to stimulate the work of the people at 
home.  He has made his sacrifice, and takes it cheerfully, and while he will 
never be able to return to the front, he will continue rendering valuable 
assistance in stimulating others.
