We had the most wonderful time, :
said Mrs. j. Ham Lewis, wife of the
famous senator from Illinois, when she
arrived from Hawaii on the Wilhel-

Mrs Ollie James, petite wife of the
mammoth senator from Kentucky.
We did not have dance or ban

gone" said Mrs. Lewis, land We had
such a royal time that all were sorry
to come back Hawaii is the most
wonderful country in the world.
From one end of an island to an
other we were whirled in automobiles.
We had luaus and dances without
number, and the wonderful climate
just kept us going from one. function
to another without ever a thought OF
fatigue"
Miss Anna Glass. daughter of Car
ter Glass of Virginia, said: There
IS just one place in the whole world
better than Hawaii, and that is vir-
ginia.

WINSTON churchill
GOES TO THE Front
Former Lord of Admiralty Resigns
y From British Cabinet.

London, Nov. 13.-It is officially
announced that Winston Spencer
Churchill, chancellor of the duchy Of
Lancaster, has resigned from the
cabinet and will join the army in
France.
Mr.. Churchill, in his letter Of res
ignation, explains that he agrees in
the formation Of small war council,
and appreciates the intention which
Premier Asquith expressed to in
clude him among its members. He
foresaw the difficulties that the pre-
mier would have to face in its COM
position, he states, and he makes no
complaint because the scheme was
changed, but with that change his
work in the government naturally
closed. He says he could not accept
a position Of general responsibility
for a policy without any effective
share in its guidance and control,
and did not feel able In times like
these to remain in well paid inactiv-
lty.
Rumors had been current for some
time that Mr.. Churchill would resign
his seat In the cabinet and go out on
active service at the front. He is d
major in the Oxford Yeomanry.
