LILIUOKALANI !S DEAD. Former Queen of Hawaii Was 76. De scendant of Long Line of N Stive Chiefs, She Was Deposed in 1895. Honolulu, T. H., Nov. 11. ? Queen Liliuokal.'ni, of Hawaii, died this morning. Her death had be. n expect ed for sevcrr.l days. Queen Liluokalani mounted the throne of Hawr.ii on the death of her brother, King Kalakaua, who, after a reign of 17 years, died January 30, 1891. She was deposed, her formal abdication of the throne being signed January 25, 1895. Queen Liliuokalani was a descendant of a long line of native chiefs, to whom the sovereignty of the Sandwich Islands had passed through centuries. Under Kamehameha I, who died in 1819, ths islands were formed into one kingdom. Queen Liliuokalani was the monarchy's last ruler. The Hawaiian Islands were form ally annexed by the United States in August, 1898, and constituted the Territory of Hawaii in June, 1900. The deposed queen fVom 1895 to 1910 kept up her siege of Washington in protest against the maner in which the gov ernmental affairs were being conduct ed in Hawaii. Finally, when her dream of restoration disappeared, she plead ed for the million of acres of crown lands which had been taken over by the government and which she alleged were virtually private. She never succeeded and finally withdrew to Honolulu, where, on $4, 000 a year voted to her by the Hawaii an legislature, she lived in semiregal fashion. Gen. Dominis died prior to Queen Liliuokalani's assumption of the throne. She was married to Gen eral Dominis in 1862. For the American people as a whole she had high regard and became a devout Christian, but she never for gave the element which she charged with wresting the Hawaiian govern ment from the natives. Her remarka ble intellect was displayed in her grasp of international relationships, and she was successful as the author of a book telling "Hawaii's Story." She was a composer of hundreds of Ha waiian songs, some of which became popular in the United States. Tuesday's War News. The Italians apparently are holding the Teutonic allies fast along the greater part of the curving battlefront extending from Lake Garda, south of the Trentino region, to the Adriatic sea. Small gains have been reported for the Teutons on the northern front and (ne point along the southern reaches of the Piave river. On the Asiago plateau, where it was feared the invaders might break through the Italian line and force a retirement of the armies guarding the western bank of the Piavc, the enemy again has met with several severe re verses, the Italians meeting vigorous attacks and repelling them with seri ous losses. Indeed, near Canove, to the west of Asiago, so strong and brilliantly executed was the Italian counter thrust that the forces of Gen eral Diaz even were able to liberate Italians, who had been captured by the Austro-German army in the attempted flanking operation before the Italian line was stiffened last week. To the northeast of the town of Asaigo the Germans report the cap ture of the town of Fonzao and north west of Asiago, on the Settecomuni, the fortified position of Mont Longara. On the southern Piave, between Monte San Dona and Zenson, some 23 miles northeast of Venice, the enemy forces >. rossed the^trcam ?nd established a: bridgehead on the west side of the Piave. The Italian? immediately turn- j ed upon the invaders and forced them back toward the l ank of the river. Realizing the close proximity of the enemy to Venice, preparations are be ing made to protect the ancient city and its historic buildings from the shells of the guns of the invaders. Sanbags have been piled high around the palace of the Doges and the Cam panile. Doubtless most of the numer ous works of art, for which the city is famous, already have been removed to places of safety. Out of the maze of contradictory statements regarding the situation in Russia the salient fast seems to stand forth that the Bolsheviki forces are in control of Petrograd. A wireless dispatch received in London announces the complete defeat of the followers of Premier Kerensky and General Kerni loff Monday in fighting near Tsarskoe Selo, while in Petrograd the recalci trants are declared to be maintaining the upper hand against the military cadets and other adherents of the Ke rensky regime. Dispatches from Den mark assert that advices received there are to the effect that the Bolsheviki soldiers and sailors in Petrograd are committing all kinds of excesses and that the populace is terror stricken. Except on the Austro-Italian front there have been no military operations of great importance. Tabulated Values of Supplies Stored in New York. In its report of its investigation, which revealed huge quantities of food and war materials stored in the metro politan district, the Secret Service gives this tabulation of the total values: Steel copper, jute, etc. ..$35,449,028 Grains 12,748,955 Canned goods 10,500,000 Eggs 3,294,434 Butter oil 2,330,051 Cotton seed meal 1,580,000 Flour 1,600,000 Butter 1,453,360 Rice 1,438,866 Linseed oil cake 1,117,806 Sugar 1,000,000 Poultry 1,000,000 Fish 580,000 Beans 556,000 Condensed milk 400,000 Cocoa 284,967 Total $75,333,467 The report, it was said by Govern ment officials, covered only a part of the food and other materials believed to be held in storage here. ? New York Times. An Indian's Luck. On a tract of land in Oklahoma, al lotted to Jackson Barnett, a Creek In dian, and on which it is not recorded that he ever did a stroke of work, oil was, some time ago, discovered. Jack son's income is now said to be $50,000 a month from oil royalties. He has a cabin, erected for him by the super intendent of the Five Tibes, but he prefers to live in the open. At night he wnps himself in a blanket and sleeps on the porch. His property is now said to be worth $800,000. He does nothing through the livelong day but sit around. Yet, he is not entirely worthless. He bought a block of Liberty bonds, two weeks ago, and single taxers are using him as a terrible example. ? Christian Science Monitor. British War Losses Less Than 7 Per Cent. Washington, Nov. 11. ? The ratio of losses sustained by all of the British expeditionary forces sent to France is less than 7 to every 100 men. It is not expected that American losses will exceed this percentage, despite ihe fact that German propagandists in this country are trying to make the ^meri "an people believe that the American Army is going to meet with whole sale losses when it roaches the battle front.

Johnum was elected President to succeed Mrs. W. H. Etheridge. A ris ing vote of thanks was tendered Mes dames Ethridge and L. I). Debnam, Treasurer, who have so efficiently serv ed the chapter for the past four years. In adJTtion to the election of Mrs. Johnson as President the following officers were elected to the chapter offices: Mrs. Geo. D. Vick, First Vice-Presi dent. Mrs. W. A. Edgerton, Second Vice President. Mrs. N. E. Ward, Recording Secre tary. Mrs. Ellis Waddell, Corresponding Secretary. Mrs. H. A. Pearce, Treasurer. Mrs. R. L. Ray, Registrar. Mrs. Wm. M.

After the business was transacted a very interesting selection was read by Mrs. W. Thad Woodard from the " Confederate Veteran." Delicious salad, sandwiches and coffee were served by Mrs. H. A. Pearce, assisted by Mrs. H. B. Pearce, Jr. A (iood Record. This year Mr. A. E. Penny, who lives on Route 1, had one acre in to bacco. He harvested and sold this to bacco and received therefor the sum of $357. He got 50 cents a pound for part of it. The net weight of tobacco produced on this acre tlas 1,000 pounds. This is pretty good, but the best thing he did this year was to raise 2fi bushels of wheat on a half acre. Ho says he is going to try to raise enough next year to at least sup ply himself, a thing that every farm er should do this time. ? Benson Re view. A Woman Pleads for Soldier Hoys. To the Editor: I ask for a short space in The Her ald for the soldier bpys who are far away from home. So many of them have left their homes and gone to the Camp. They left their wives and babies, and we surely ought not to for get them. We know they must be fed and it will take lots of rations for them. We must work to save all. We ought to help the army boys all we can by "working and saving and not being extravagant. Let the wives work as well as save. I think a well and able-bodied woman should work and earn something as well as the man. If they have only one or two children they can work fi>r them and earn their support. I have to work every day and I don't mind it. It makes me feel good to work. Wives go to work and help the boys. They need it. A woman can live on less than thirty dollars a month. She can plant vegetables and not be at so much cost. Don't sit down and say, "My husband is in the army, and his work ? what I get from the Govern ment ? will keep me from work. I have not got to work. I had it to do before I was married, but I don't have it to do now. I can live without work." That is not the way to do. Get up and go to work, all you young and able women. Try to see what you can do. Remember the boys who have left their homes for the army. A friend to soldiers,* SALLY EVANS. Four Oaks, N. C., R. 1. Hang All Taitors To Lamp Post Says Gerard. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 13. ? The time of repentance of disloyal Americans and pro-German sympathizes has pass ed and the day is at hand when every person must decide whether he is for or against America, declared James W. Gerard, in an address at a food con servation mass meeting here today. "Americans are to be congratu lated on their efforts to induce Ger mans in this country to be loyal, but there are still many under the protec tion of the American flag who are snakes in the grass," said the former ambassador. "We should 'hog-tie' every disloyal German-American, feed every pacifist raw meat and hang every traitor to a lamp post, to insure success in this war. And our traitors are not all German-Americans, but some men high in public life are aiding the Prus sian cause. There is no dirtier chapter in America politics than the crusade of these men, whose names you know." Notice of Sale of Lot in Belmont.
