The German Colonies will be the sub.
lect OF the illustrated lecture by Rev. D.
T.. Trout In the Universalist church Sun
day at 100 p. m. The lecture and slides
are by Peter Mcqueen, the world traveller
and noted lecturer, and the views were
taken by him and his party in their
various travels, which is a guarantee of
their quality and high standard. The
lecture treats of the actual, existing con
ditions in the former German colonies in
Africa, and by contrast with the British
and French colonial possessions in Africa
shows that by her brutal and cruel treat
ment of the people Germany has forfeited
all right to any future control of thes,
colonial possessions. The views give ,
splendid impression of African life, no
only in the colonies but also in the Jun
gle, amid the mountains, and along tn,
river Nile. The former German posses
sions in China, Samoa, etc, also arr
touched upon in the lecture Since man
datory power, in regard to the Germa,
colonies lost to her during the war. ha
been granted within the last few DAYS b,
Lloyd George to the allied powers tn
lecture and views are of timely and vita
interest to all. The choir will sing.
