the mustard and cheese dra matic club will give its annual performance saturday may 5 at 8 15 p m at the opera house south bethlehem " poland prof lamberton speaks on on last friday morning prof vv a lamberton now of the uni versity of pennsylvania and for merly professor of greek at lehigh delivered an extremely interesting lecture on " poland and its upris ings with special reference to the late prof severin ringer prof lamberton said that to fully under stand prof ringer's life here some thing must be known of the causes which led to his coming to this country the pole is a natural conspiritor and for three reasons the first is that there is no patriotism like the polish only to be compared to the strongest ties of human love the glories of former days and the degradations of the present are the other two causes poland of the early days was democratic there being no titles except those of other countries the nation made up the nobility and the king was compelled to obey its mandate there was much in common be tween the governments of rome and poland of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as an other illustration of their inde pendent laws they had an im promptu legislature or meeting which could be called by any one man and if desired this assemblage could institute legal rebellion against the ruling powers this belief that each man is the govern ment has sunk into the minds and hearts of the poles for centuries and it is natural that it should bring many troubles upon them then too they cannot forget past successes as when moscow itself was almost captured and when a polish army saved europe from the advancing hordes of the turks ) as an instance of the present state of affairs the owner of a house is not allowed to carry a latch key his every outgoing and return having to be reported to the police authorities in lithuania where the russian rule is most harsh a polish nobleman is not allowed to use his language in the bosom of his family for fear of spies these are some of the rea sons why the poles have desired to free their country and is it to be wondered at that they arc conspira tors ? continued on fourth page the sophomore
