Mrs Charles M. Sheldon who, with
DR.. Sheldon, has returned from a trip
to Australia and the Islands of the
Pacific, tells a story of her meeting
with the dethroned queen of Hawaii,
the renowned GU en- Lii. The meet
ing was brought about through the
influence of a relative of Mrs. Shell
don's. Many years ago Mrs. Shell
dOn's grandmOther'S brother, VINO
was then young man, went to Ha-
wall, where he engaged in business as
a tea merchant, and afterwards mar
ried an Hawaiian girl. Their daugh-
ter was a maid in waiting to Queen
Emma, and her daughter is Mrs.
Hopkins, now living in Honolulu. She
is a personal friend of the queen, and
she arranged a visit to her majesty
for DR.. and Mrs. Sheldon.
The queen is living in handsome
colonial mansion in Honolulu and re-
tains some of the ceremonies Of her
court. Mrs. Cheldon tells of the audi
ence with her. Thinking it unwise to
speak of the queens own people, for
fear of recalling her dethronement, or
OF the United States which had taken
over her nation, Mrs. Sheldon thought
Of a safe subject in the queens poetry
and music. She is an accomplished
and intellectual woman, and she has
written music and verse that evidence
a great deal of talent.
At the close Of the interview, the
visitor raised the hand OF the queen
to her lips, but the gracious monarch
who has no throne, put her arms
about her guest and kissed her brow.
Thus" Mrs Sheldon says. "a queen
may forget the ceremonies of rank
and follow the impulses of her heart,
which are Just like any other wo-

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE federal

in principle of the plan for $780,

Belgium, Land of Heroes

When Caesar, in his Com
mentaries," pronounced the Belgae
the bravest of all the Gauls, he was
merely recording the reputation that
they had earned on maAy battle
field, and which they maintained even
in defeat. Caesar overwhelmed more
than a quarter of million of them in
the year 81 b. c. on the banks of the
Aisne, on the very ground where dur
ing the first half of September of this
year the Germans and the allies have
engaged in a struggle that would be
a revelation to Rome's greatest COM
mander. After the crushing defeat
on the Aisne several tribes, headed
by the Nervii, made last stand on
the Sambre, taking the offensive
against the Roman legions and very
nearly defeating them by the intensity
OF their onslaught. But the training
and discipline of Rome saved Caesar,
and the final result of the heroic re-
sistance of the Nervii was their prac-
teal humiliation. Their peace ennis
saries said 'Of 500 senators we have
lost all but three Of 10000 fighting
men but 500 remain"
