Prof. HUDDILSTON TELLS KIWANIANS
OF CONDITIONS IN THE HOLY LAND

A vact fund Of interesting infor-
nation concerning Palestine or the
Holy Land was presented in a most
entertaining manner by Professor
John Fl. Huddilston of the Univer-
sity of Maine at the regular luncheon
meeting of the Kiwans Club, held at
the Augusta House Thursday even-
ing. Prof. Huddilston spoke from
personal knowledge Of the country
and his talk was Illuminated by an
ecdotes and stories of his personal
experiences in Palestine. The talk
was the entertainment feature of a
particularly fine meeting of the club,
at which several matters of import
ant business were considered and
acted upon.
Vice president Frank S. Southland
presided at last evenings meeting in
the absence of President Charles E.
Quincy. Three new members were
elected to membership in the XII
wants club, they being Harold A.
Miller, Chief of the State Highway
Police; Dana c. McGregor, automo-
bile dealer; and Edwin H. Ingraham,
tailor.
An interesting new policy of five
minute talks by the members on their
own particular business or profess
sion, was inaugurated at the meeting
last evening, and the first to speak
on their classification were Everett
II. MaXcy, corporation counsel for
the Central Maine Power Company,
and r. Halsey Jackson, auditor of the
Cushnoc and Kennebec Paper Com
panies. At the next regular meet
ing of the Kiwanians Theodore En-
cry. oil dealer, and Levi T. Williams,
coal and real estate will be the flve-
minute men.
According to the action of the club
Thursday evening, the Kiwanians of
the Augusta club will conform to the
policy of the great majority Of the
clubs in the New England district,
by holding weekly luncheon meetings
from the first of May until the sum-
mer recess. The change to the week.
ly sessions is in the nature of a try
out, and upon it's success will depend
the issue of it's continuing in force.
Professor Huddilston approached his
subject from the business mans
point of view in regard to the Holy
Land and Palestine. He recounted
something of the nature of the coun-
try, what it's prospects are or could
be developed into from the stand
point of business and commerce. He
explained by the aid of a specially
prepared map. the terrain of the
Holy Land. it's climate, it's resources,
and its exports. Professor Huddils-
ton showed from these various sourc-
es the practicability and Impractical
bility Of the divergent opinions as to
whether Palestine could ever become
an Independent sovereign nation and
take part in the worlds affairs.
The speaker explained in detaii and
in a most comprehensive manner the
British mandate which exists under
the supervision Of the League of Ma
tons, and the different political con-
ditions under which that country Is
now lat oring. Professor Huddilston
handled big subject in most
pleasing and understandable manner,
