THE LECTURER
DR. THOMAS E. GREEN will arrive in America about June 10, 1912, after completing a thirteen month tour around the world.
Beginning with the coronation in England, he has visited every capital in Europe.
Exceptional opportunities have given him access to places and things impossible to the usual traveler.
He has seen and interviewed sovereigns, prime min¬isters, cabinet officers, governors, ecclesiastics, journalists, revolutionists, students, people of every sort and kind, in order to obtain facts and study conditions.
Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, India, the Philippines, China and Japan have been the setting of an oriental tour of wonderful interest.
Those who have been the delighted listeners to Dr. Green's lectures for the past ten years will know what he now has in store.
He and his work are known wherever there is an intellectual American public. He stands now at the very front of the American platform.
His new lectures, dealing with present conditions throughout the world, and particularly with our own country as related to XXth century world concerns, will be to the last moment timely and full of vital interest.
Dr. Green will fill but a limited number of dates dur¬ing the coming season, other interests making large demands upon his time.
We offer him as distinctly a unique and unequaled attraction.

THE LECTURES
America, the World's Peacemaker. A Study of
'Destiny
No one who was present yesterday at the American Decoration Day observance, will ever forget the experience. The American am¬bassador presided; the former vice-president of the United States was present; the blue-jackets of the American fleet were the guard of honor. But the oration of Dr. Green was the surpassing feature. Such eloquence has never been heard here, nor will be soon again. —The Japan Times, Tokio.
The Burden of the Nations. A Study of Conditions
It was the record Fourth of July in these islands. The great build¬ing was packed with an audience of all nations. Governor Freer presided. The government officials, the supreme court, all the for-eign consuls and attaches in full uniform made a brilliant setting to the stage. But the feature was Dr. Thos. E. Green who delivered such an oration as one hears but once in a life-time.—The Advertiser, Honolulu, H. T.
The Key to the 20th Century. A Study of
Dynamics
(Delivered over 1,500 times)
There have been few platform orators heard here, who created a more profound impression than he; few who have proven so fascinat¬ing, and at the same time so profoundly instructive.—The Atlanta Constitution.
Civic Bacteriology. A Study of "Problems
(Delivered over 600 times)
Dr. Green's voice, diction, thought and manner, conspire to make him one of the greatest speakers now before the public.—The Cin¬cinnati Times-Star.
Lot's Wife. A Study of Religions
An address so skilfully, so magnetically delivered, that the audience was again and again lifted to cheers, and even to waving of hand¬kerchiefs.—The Boston Jornal.
SOME PERSONAL TRIBUTES

I am glad to send you the passage from my address which you request. I am not only willing that you should use it, but gratified that you approve it, and that it will have in its repetition the addition of your eloquence. JOHN HAY.
The Secretary of Agriculture.
I have been acquainted for forty years with the best orators of the State of Iowa. They have come and gone like the seasons. I regard Dr. Thomas E. Green as among the foremost in the history of the State. JAMES WILSON.

I congratulate the nation that you have taken the lecture platform for your field. I know no one better fitted in every way both to in¬struct and inspire. WM. B. ALLISON.

You are not only an orator.
You are almost a poet.
RICHARD MANSFIELD.
