Hudson, who recently re- turned to this country after spending eight months with the English troops on their drive to Bagdad, gave an in- teresting lecture at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hudson spent five years as a missionary in India. The work that is belng carried on in the war hos- pitals in Bombay, the speaker said, is remarkable. Men, totally incapa- citated by the war, are brought there and, after receiving the best of | attention and expert medical treat-| ment, are soon able to resume fight- ing. The buildings are splendidly equipped. The Y. M. C. A. at Bom- bay s an institution worthy of con- siderable notice. courteous and always ready to render service. n The secretaries of the Y, M. C. A. are frequently called -upon,: he sald, to write letters home informing anx- jous parents of the wher®abouts of their belaved. They also try-to locate friends ‘and relatives of the wounded nd dead. How the war has affected many happy families was"described by the speaker. One widow, the proud mother of 12 boys, gladly gave them all to her country. It was the pain- ful duty of Mr. Hudson to help pre- pare the last son for his homeward journey to his waliting mother. He was “unfit for further service.” The eleven other sons had been buried on the battle-scarred front after gallant- ly fight?ig to down the Huns. In one instance, a six-day battle be- tween the British tfoops and the Turks ensued. The horrors of the fight were indescribable. The slain soldiers could be seen lying about in heaps. In order to bury the dead, a six-hour armistice was necessary. Graves were dug alongside the trenches and the men were laid at rest. An exciting incident, when his camp was burned to the ground, was related by Mr. Hudson. One dark night two Arabs were perceived by the sentry swimming across the river which adjoined the camp. Both men nives in their mouths. Chal- len, e Arabs, the sentry called ypon them to halt. When they failed ta stop, he shot one, wounding him in the leg. The other escaped. The next Aight, attempting to rescue their com- rade, who had been placed under guard, the Arabs set fire to the camp. ‘While the attention of the troops was atverted in trying to extinguish the blaze, an attempt was made to save the Arab. This proved to be unsuc- cessful. The whole of the Y. M. C. A. equipment was destroyed. - The hardships that are undergone by the secretaries was told of by Mr. Hudson. At one time 50 per cent. of | the men doing Y. M. C. A. work were | taken seriously ill with poisoning and had to return to India. How the Y. M. C. A. furnishes the only means of entertainment and amusement for the soldlers was re- lated. Shows are given and sermons delivered. How the morale of the soldlers is kept up and how the men are made to live better lives was ex- plained. The confusion of the British troops in Mesopotamia was evident on many occastons, said the speaker. Time and again a large detachment of soldiers arrived in camp tired and hungry from fighting and no provision had The workers are| been made for their comfort. The men trailed into camp, helping one another and carrying the wounded. As a vanguard were the Red Cross wagons. On these occasions the Y. | M. C. A. was called upon to do its bit. | Rations were supplied to the men | and large urns of tea and cake were | distributed. Small fees were charged | and when the soldiers professed pov- !erty the provisions were given to them free of charge. The discipline of the troops was evident. Although ltired and almost dying of thirst they would line up in front of the camp {and patiently await their turn. The | heat was at times almost unbearable. | It would soar as high at 135 degrees. i Frederick Latham sang “Kecep the { Home Fires Burning,” and following ! Mr. Hudson’s address the “Star- | Spangled Banner” was sung. Yester- | day’s meeting was the first of a serles { o Sunday afternoon talks to be given lat the Y. M. C.

In October there were approximate- ly 242 tons of garbage collected, as against 274 tons in September. This is a decrease of 32 tons.

She was born Sept. 2, Honolulu. makacha. In her memoirs, wali’'s History by Hawaii’s Queen,” she traced her ancestry back to the foundation of the Kamachameha dy- nasty and claimed relationship to the royal family of the five sovereigns of that name, In accordance with a custom com- mon in Ha 1838 in by her father to another chief, whom she was adopted in exchange for one of his children, this custom being observed to cement tles be- tween the different clans and chiefs. ; The future Queen’s new mother was Konia, granddaughter of Kamaha- meha I. Her adopted father Paki, a high chief. They had a daughter of their own, Bernice Pa- uahj, who later became Mrs. Charles R. Bishop. Liliuokalani’s own par- ents had nine other children, most of whom, like herself, were adopted into other families.

It was while attending this school that Liliuokalani first met the boy who later became her husband, John O. Dominis, son of an American sea captain. She was married to him September 16, 1862, and she and her husband moved to Washington Place which Captain Dominis, her fathe). in-law, had built as a private resi- dence. Long after, when she was driven from the throne of Hawaii, she retired again to this place and it was her home during the remainder of her life. Dominis, the future queen’s husband, was appointed on the staff of Prince Lot, and when the latter ascended the throne as Kame- hameha V. in November, 1863, was named as the king's private secretary and confidential adviser. Dominie was later made governor of Oahu, which position he held until his death in 1891. Liliuokalani ascended the throne of Hawalii January 29, 1891, immediately following the receipt of news from San Francisco that her brother, King Kalahaua, had died there in the Pal- ace hotel nine days previously. Kala- kaua in November of the preceding vear had taken a trip to California as the guest of Rear Admiral Brown on the United States cruiser Charles- ton in order to recruit his failing health, but he failed rapidly. There was at that time no trans- pacific cable, so the news of the king's | death reached Honolulu by the ship that bore his body. Preparations had been made to receive the return- ing monarch in elaborate style, but as the Charleston approached the har- bor, she displayed the royal mourning signal, and Liliuokalani knew before the vessel docked that she was the new ruler of the Hawallan Islands, On January 16, 1895, just two years after being deposed, Liliuokalani was arrested on the charge of being a participant in a plot to overturn the existing government and resume her sovereignty. Eight days later she for- mally renounced all claim to the throne. After nine months’ confine- ment in her former palace, she and forty-eight others were pardoned, and when, on Aug. 12, 1898, Hawalii be- came a territory of the United States, she declared her fealty to the country that had adopted her. The later years of her life, Liliuok- alani remained quietly at home. She had ceased to relgn as a sovereign monarch, but she still reigned as queen in the hearts of her people. the native Hawalians, who venerated her and paid her court as though she ference will be held in Middletown.
