John Silas Reed '10, war correspondent, and author of "Insurgent Mexico," will tell of his many experiences in the war trenches in the Union tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. Mr. Reed, with characteristic aggressiveness, made nine attempts to get to the front, although he was once sentenced to death, and was later forced to spend much of his time in jail, finally being sentenced to remain two years in a French fortress. Sentence was fortunately suspended, and Mr. Reed proceeded to Berlin by way of Switzerland. Through a fortunate chain of circumstances, he was able to witness a battle from the firing line, of which he will tell in his lecture.
