LIFE IN SAMOA.NOTES FROM A TROOPER'S

DIARY.

■ The following extract from adiary received in Christchurchfrom one of tho New ZealandContingent in Samoa, will be readwith interest, as showing the kind oflife our young soldiers are living in thenewly-occupied islands:—

Saturday, October 3rd.—This beachpicket is quite an attractive place, not-withstanding tho patrol duty and thetrench-digging, and we are disappointedat having to leave. The native crafton the water are quite interesting. Onedav wo saw .1 very long rowing boat,carrying probably sixty natives alto-gether, chanting r.s they rowed, andtho effect was quite delightful. Be-fore leaving the camp our fellows in--lulged in a littlo fun, assisted by na-!.ivc3 who did some dancing and helpedin the amusement. We had made goodfriends with tho storekeeper and hiswife, and have found tho latter veryuseful, as although she is not a tailoress,she can fix up shirts and pants or anyother clothing in good shape, makingup a suit of shirt and pants from khakistuff from about 15s or 16s. Thereare two little children also in thefamily, who are very interesting andwell-mannered.

We got back to camp on Fridaymorning, after saying good-byo to oiirJocal friends. Our new camp was in theschoolroom; wood-work had beenerected for sleeping in hammocks, butit was not suitable, ;ind we are sleep-ing on the floor, to which wo hare be-come "nirito resigned. Despite netting,I find the mosquitoes a littlo trouble-some. In tho afternoon we joined theregiment and Trent on a skirmishingexpedition, advancing by sections,through tho plantations by shortdashes, while other sections kept uprapid firo; an exciting exercise, butrather rough on one's knees and elbowsin tho rough ground. Orders havebeen issued that wo are to wear longtrousers and puttees; probably this isdone as a projection against flies.

After cleaning up- our quarters thismorning and having breakfast, we linedup at 7.30, and marched out to ourpresent post. 1 have brought mycamera in the- hope of getting some in-teresting snaps. It appears that thecamp canteen, -which has hitherto beenrun by Westcott. is to be taken over andrun by tho regiment, and stuff is tojboretailed at cost prices. This morningwe -were detailed to go out to tho out-'ying picket posts with provisions. Wofound some natives there cutting copraand drying it. I tried my hand at cut-ting this stuff out of tho nuts, but thenatives beat mc ten to one. Securedanother suan. Then wo visited a nativevillage near by, where we spent a mostjinteresting hour or more. Therejare several fine huts in thisvillage, and in ono of themjwe mado ourselve-s quite at home, al-! though we could not understand verymuch what was said. Presently, how-ever, one of the youngsters brought insome thick, white liquid in a cocoanutshell, which we found so enjoyable thatwo hunted round to bee where it camefrom. At the back, in a small hut,wo found an elderly man and his wife«nd child engaged preparirig thisstuff. Quite ripo cocoanut* nesh isgrated fine, and pounded in a largocarved wooden bowl with cocoanut milkpoured in; possibly a few bananas aremixed'with it, or a pealed yam, gratedon a piece of perforated t;n, mixedwith the liquid. Tho ■-whole, ■ after,being pounded up, is well mixed andbeaten with the hands and a 6ponge■of fibre is used to strain it out andas a dipper. When all is ready, atu:all quantity, about half a cupful,is poured into a banana leaf, folded up,a breadfruit leaf wrapped round it,and then it is tied up with string. Itis then placed on a fire, prepared verymuch in the Maori way. The stoneshad been heating meanwhile, and theembers were cleared away; tho etoneslaid evenly at tho bottom, the bread-fruit then placed in a layer on tho hotstones, and, other hot stones placedover it, then covered with green leavesand a layer of white liquid in the leafpackages, then a further covering ofgreen leaves and sacking. Cookingtook about 30 minutes. tVhile it wascooking, ono of the men climbed acocoauut tree, and we refreshed our-selves with the milk. We had nottime to wait until the cooking wasfinished, but one of tho women laterbrought us a basketful of tho food,which we found delicious. Indeed,we should havo been rather short offood at this outpost but for the bananasand broad-fruit which weprocured fromthe natives. AYe spent tho eveningat another cottage, whero there aretwo native women, known* as the Prin-cess and tho Queen, both of whomspeak English well, and they made usquite welcome. There is less drillgoing on now, and more route march-ing. Whito duck coats and pante a.reabout to be issued.

Monday.—Reveille at. 4.20 this morn-ing, coffee at 4.30; fell in at 5.30, andoff for a five-mile route march, carry-ing all our equipment and blankets.Tho march lad out past our No. 1 out-picket and through a very large plan-tation (cocoanut), which is served by atramline for collecting the nuts andtaking the copra down to the beach.Solomon Islanders are employed, andwere splitting the nuts open prepara-tory to oxtraetiug tho flesh. The tidewas full in, and the beach presented abeautiful sight in the early morning,with palm trees and bananas thickeverywhere to the water's edge. Onreaching camp wo made all haste to thebathing pool and washed off the effectsof the wilt water on our puttees, boots,and socks, which had got wet ing wadingthrough a tidal stream.

7.30 p.m.—These last few eveningshave been very refreshing. The laun-drymen are squatting round about, andour platoon tailor is busy. One ofthe men has borrowed a sewing-machinefrom the Samoan girl at tho canteen,and is busy with it.

Wednesday.—Three men of ourplatoon are pretty good on the_ tailor-ing: job. and have been detailed toequip tho new white clothes withshoulder straps, aud regimental but-to!!R from our great coats. Thesewhite uniforms are, however, to beworn only on special occasions. Lastnight we" celebrated Westcofct's relin-qiiishmenfc of the canteen, and it hasbeen taken over by the regiment. To-drsy wa formed V:ur.riov :ruard andVnilhna guard. A mate and I hadbeen promised the Vailima guard, and1 intended taking up my camera with

;the hope of getting up the mountainto' look at Eobert Louis Stevenson'sgrave, but by some means things pofcmixed up, and we are on quarter guardinstead. Drill is pretty well confinedto musketry practice and long routemarches.

THE PASSING SHOW-UP.(By "Kuscobin," of the Sydney

"Bulletin.")CARNIVAL WEEK. 1919

The following is an anticipatory re-print, from the "Daily Moan/ , pub-lished in Christchurch by Messrs Chad-band. Stjggine and Co., Ltd., desenb-

the Carnival Festivities of the pre-ceding week:—"Carnival Week wasceJebratetl under splendid auspices, theweather being wet and drizzly, ta thatthe Joy Suppression League had tohandle a very small number of crimi-nals who broke the Civic Regu-lations by eoramittins a. smile.Christchurch could well oonjp-atu-Late fteelf on the dismalness of theCarnival, no less than thirty-seven sui-cides bearing witness to this i'act. BunStruggles were held daily, either atkiccarton or Addington, the New Zoo-land Cup being won after a splendidburet l>y Wowser (by Cold Water outof Never Smilo Again), who ran awayfrom the field and got home after amagnificent gorge by'a Currant Cakeand" four Buns. The Ginge: BeerTrot attracted a lav£o number of com-petitors, Mr Snowden, a:i EnglishParliamentarian, having generously do-nated the salary of £'100 a year paidhim in London, as a stake forthis event. The winner (by InHis Steps out of Your Pocket)was greeted with loud groans ashe ballooned home by a bottle neckfrom Misery, a colt through whosereins there gurgles the splendid gingerbeer of his sire Prohibition and hisdam Sly Grog. The Methylated Han-diean w: won by Keg Party (Inyer-cargill—Cureed Derink) by along thirst,the drinker-up being disqualified forsecond place by carrying ovor-woicrht.The enquiry by the stewards provedhimto bo concealing a black bottle ofCough Cure in his coat-tail pocket.The stewards confiscated the CoughCure—since then they have used noother. It was 40 per cent, overproof.The Carnival concluded with a jointsermon by the co-editors of this jour-nal on '"The Hlesscd.now> of BeingDry.', Everybody was. Before leavingfor their respective Sly Grog Shanties,the whole populace sang the Misererewith appropriate moans."

PROHIBITION PATRIOTISM.The "Triad" makes these remarks:—

"People are asking what the Prohibi-tion Party has done for tho war funds.People have a right to ask, just asthe Prohibition Party has a, right to re-frain from doing anything patrioticwhenever it is in the mood for thatsort of abstinence. Iv point of fact,what you call temperance people- are,as a' class, particularly temperate inthe matter of benevolence—apt, per-haps, to overlook the well-establishedfact that he prayeth best who lovethbest. This being admitted, it is wellto keep in mind the fact that if NewZealand Prohibitionists dtsire to ab-stain from every form of patrioticgenerosity, as they abstain from everyform of alcohol (more or less), nobodyhas any right to 6cold thorn about it.A few Prohibitionists do give, liberally,and the hearts'of tho rest may besound though timid. The man with afaint heart generally lias a closo poc-ket, and what with paying fat feesto Mr Philip Snowden and ofchor specialpleaders against good cheer and theliberty of tho subject—well, your poorfaint-hearted Prohibitionist 'is taxedquite onough maybe."

GARDEN FANCIES.When "Rule Britannia" was written,

only Six-Bottle men wero consideredworthy of admission to the elect. Ex-cept for a twinge of gout now andagain, I don't know that the descen-dants of these Six-Bottle heroes areany the worso for their heritage. Jtis they who are leading our troops'iuFranco to-day—and though crustyport and hot toddy have gone out offashion, .the. good fellowship they sym-bolised is still and happily with us.And those dour, earnest souls whowould transform the - Englishman'shome from a castle into a grogshop willhave to reckon with the New Zealand-ors. objection to the change. For thoProhibitionist attack is no longerdirected against the publican nor evenmerely against tho public—it now seeksto violate the sanctity of a man's ownsideboard. Now, when a friend comesup to look at mT Sweet Peas on a Sun-day morning, the peas are ever so muchsweeter if -we discuss horticulture overa glass of alo or a bottle of whisky.I'm quite certain that my anemones,wind-flowers though, they be, would re-sent our breathing ginger-beer upontheir delicate petals. I'm equally surethat that glorious libertine, the Rose,would straightaway blossom • like thoonion if we looked at her as through aglass, frothily. To give you an illus-tration, lastSunday wa*s quite a happyday with mo. I sprawled on tho grassand let tho sunlight spill down on mypyjamas. M3' week-endmoans would onlyrun to a "squaro rigger," but nectarwas never sweeter to tho gods than itsamber contents as they gurgled downmy happy throat. The throstles ■weresinging, theskylarks climbed upward ina riotous carol, the nesting blackbirdson my chimneys tweeted away to theirfledglings in the idyllic certainty thatfireplaces were only a suburban excusefor the display of overmantels and fancytilowork. Then Jones called—andSmith followed. Neither gentleman iswhat one would describe as wildly in-tellectual. Jones is something high upin the haberdashery line, I believe:Smith is a conscientious" ratepayer andnurses heroic grievances about Drains.But little things liko this didn't dis-turb our harmony. They were all waivedaside as of naught by the,magic djin,released from my "square rigger."When Smith saw I was reading Keats's"Endymion," ho confessed that he justloved poetry, and wished he had timeto read it; Jones wondered whether Ihad read that new piece by Ella WheelerWilcox; his wife had cut it out of the"Ladies' Homo Journal," and wasteaching it to the children. Ho added,as an after-thought, that it was a pitythat poets were always so poor. Asfor mc, I don't know whether I wasmore whole-souled in praise of the nowconceits in Fancy Sox or in condemna-tion of the local Council in not kerbingthe gutter opposite Smith's Queen Annevilla. Wo were all lying, of course; butit was tho pleasantly harmless sort offiction that men suffering from Christ-ehurch «ome to enjoy when there's aglass or so of ale to relieve tho loneli-ness. But, had that "square rigger"not materialised—Had I consumed itovernight, as sometimes thriftlesslyhappens—Sunday would just have seem-ed one drab eternity I would havethrottled Jones with tho most violentlypurple half-hose his haberdashery boast-ed, and Smith had died a caitiff's deathunder what war critics describe as a"perfect hail" of road metal. Then Iwould have beaten a hasty retreat to myplot of hydrangeas—plants that are bo-tanical prohibitionists, inasmuch asthey love water and dark places—andbroached a tin of kerosene. So you scothe parlous times towards which Pro-hibition is tending. Wore it in force,that "square rigger" would have cost mcfrom £100 to £1000, the Prohibitionfine for having it. Then both Smithand Jones would have been sleeping thelong last sleep of the dear departed,and the writer, breathing murder anda very cloud of petrol, would havebeen stabbing the Rev. Cocker till hewas left gingerbeering in his own gore.Thank heaven, nothing of thekind hap-pened. Here I am, a peaceful citizen,writing this balderdash and wonderingwhether I'll go to Warner's or theClarendon.

AN ANALOGY.I was reading my war screed this

morning—l suppose it was a newspaper

once, before cable censors began to seered—and camo across a paragraph tell-ing how some poor silly fellow up northhad shot tho woman who refused hismatrimonial advances. And this raiseda train of thought. Love causes a ter-rible lot of trouble in tho world. Menmurder their sweethearts, wives de-ceive their husbands, lovers rob theiremployers, children disobey theirparents—crime, poverty, embezzle-ment, jealousy, all these comeabout when €ho course of true love is

not like the Avon. I>rink does thesethinse too—therefore the unthinkingrighteous say, "Let us Prohibit Drink.By the same beautiful process of rea-soning, I say "Let us abolish Love.If tho one is logical, so is tho otner.If neither is so—well, we'd better keep

both Venus and Bacchus. Neither il-licit love nor illicit grog are going toimprove things. Isn't that your idea

ENGLISH OR BRITISH ?

TO THI EDITOR OT "THK MIMS."Sir,—I was surprised and amused at

your support of the specious pronounce-ment of the "Tablet" on this questionas shown in your sub-leader of Satur-day last, though I am glad to say yourown paper .has not been a heinous of-fender of late. Wo have- heard a gooddeal lately about Treaty obligations inconnexion with the "Scrap of Paper"incident. You, Sir, are quit© awarothat the Treaty of .Union 1707 providesin Clause 1, "That the kingdoms of Scot-land and England shall, on the Ist dayof May next ensuing and for everafter be united into ono Kingdom, bythe name of Great Britain, and thatthe ensigns armorial of the said UnitedKingdom shall be tho Crosses of" St.Andrew and St. George conjoined."

You aro also aware that in 1801 Ire-land became an integral part of Bri-tain, and that the Cross of St. Patrickwas added to those of St. Andrew and

!St. George, so producing that gloriousdevice the British Union Flag.

You must agroo with mo that thesubject is completely covered by Profes-sor Mussen when he wrote in connexionwith the misuse of the term English,"The practice is as unscholarly as it isunconstitutional, and it is a recent andviolent departure from the establishedusage of the best English writers."

Now, Sir, for your "credit's sake,"and on behalf of the Scots (who havenever failed to take their full shareof the hardships, death and glory, notonly in tho present war, but in everytrouble and crisis in which Britain hasbeen involved since she became anation); I would respectfully ask thatthe word England as used jn your WarMap displayed in Cathedral square bealtered to 'correctly designate Britainand British Troops.—Yours, etc., .

ly, but we,still stand firmly on .ihecaise as snt forth by the "Tablet."—Ed. "Tho Press."]

BIBLE-IN-SCHOOLS._

—$—r—

APPEAL 10 SUPPORTERS.

(SPECIAL TO 'THE VB£SS.">WELLINGTON, November 9.

At a meeting of the executive oftho Bible-in-Schools Leaguo to-day, the,following resolution was carried:—} "The executive' of the .Bible-in-State

! Schools League express regret at thejrecommendation of the ParliamentaryJ Education Committee, which waspassedby the smallest possible majority, 6 to4. Tho effect is that the people of

1New Zealand are not to be allowed by: their -direct vote to express their! wishes on the Bible-in-Schools question,jThis recommendation is in faco of the' fact that action in Parliament on morothan one previous occasion shows that:the subject is a suitable one for beingidealt with by a referendum. Thoopinion of half a dozen men is a dif-ferent thing from the opinion which thoLeague asks shall be given by thewhole people, the sovereign tribunal.The action of the Parliamentary Com-mittee, accordingly, makes it all themore, and not the loss, necessary toappeal to the-constituencies to returnmembers who will be prepared to allowjho whole people an opportunity of adirect vote on the League's proposal.The executive assures its 153,000 mem-bers that no effort will bo relaxed untiltho request mado by churches repre-senting 75 per cent, of the populationis submitted to the peoplo for decision.Fhe executive urges upon members oftho League so to vote as to secure thereturn of only those candidates who areprepared to allow the people to exercisethe right of saying what shall be donein the people's schools—schools sup-ported by the people's money and at-tended by the people's children. Theexecutive points out to the public thatin those States where the system existe,which tho League is advocating, therehas been' political peace on the subjectever sirco that system was introduced, jjThis is in marked contrast with NewZealand, where the subject has been aperennial cauxo of disturbance in thepolitical arena, a position which wouldhave been avoided had Parliament in-

vited tho people to express their willon the question. Without going fur-ther into tho action, of the Parluwnenr� Education Committee, tho execu-tive points out one proposal made byCanon Garland to that committed. Heasked the committee that its chairmanshould send a circular to every teacherin Australia where tho system exists,enquiring into its working, the Leagueto abide by the result, a request whichwas received with significant laughter.That request, could have been carriedout very easily by tho ParljaiaentaryCommittee. It would have meant no-thing more than tho drafting of' ashort circular and the direction ofenrelopes. The failure of thai.Commitstee to makesuch, a simple enquiry lostParliament an opportunity of obtain-ing direct evidence in a manner freefrom any possibility of partiality on thepart of tho onquirers. The recomnien-dations are, therefore, in the opinionof thjs executive, opeu to the con?struction that the obtaining of evi-dence on which to base the recommen-dations was a matter of small concern.,.

At a meeting of the Canterbury Wo-ra.en'9 Branch or the Bible-in- State-Schools League of New Zealand, thofollowing motion, proposed by MrsCharles Overton, and seconded by MrsGeorge Way, was carried unanimously:—"The Christcburch Women's Branchof the Bible-in-Schools League deeplyregret the recent action of the NewZealand Parliament over the Bible-m-Sebools question, but are not therebydiscouraged. Believing as they do thattho people of this country desire re-ligious teaching for their children theywill not relax their efforts till thisgreat boon, for which they hare beenworking, has been oeoured—namely, therestoration of the Bible in our schools.As a League they ar© determined, acfar as lies in their rawer, to secure thoreturn of those candidates who are pre-pared to give the referendum to thopeople on this question at tho first op-portunity."

OPERA HOUSE.The Opera House, which was closed

down when the war started, was re-opened yesterday and a company drawnfrom the Fuller-Brennan circuit ap-peared before a crowded audience. Agood all-rcund programme was pre-sented and tho various turns met witjihearty appreciation. Vhe first partwas provided by Leslie Holmes's P. andG. Company, a costume comedy troupecontaining a versatile selection of ar-tists. Mr Leslie Holmes himself wastho star performer of tho company. Heis a comedian and a great deal of hiswork is quite novel. He proved vastlyentertaining last night, and held thoboards for quite a long time. MrSydney Kingsley, tenor, was another ofthe more- prominent members of thocompany to put on a successful turn.He sang tho Irish song "Mother Ma-chree" very well indeed, and waa en-thusiastically recalled. Mr Fred Deal"humorist," achieved his best successwith "It's a Long Way to Tipperary/'always a pomilar item these days. Thoother members of tho company alsoappeared in good turns. Tho secondsection of the programme was devotedmore to speciality items. "The Great

Wostin," impersonator, appeared firstna himself, a benign old gentleman, andthen as many other people living anddead. The most successful of the for?nier was Mr John Fuller, senr., and oftho latter the late Mr W. E. Gladrstone. Brown and Lawson, colouredcomedians, lady and gentleman, put upa. bright and lively turn, and furthercoloured romody came from Brown andSorlie. Some musral comedy and otheritems woro given by White and Greyand an under-water turn was given byMr Arthur Trout and his lady assis-tant. The programmo will bo repeatedto-ninht.

BARTON'S CIRCUS.Barton's circus, located at tho corner

KING'S THEATRE.The Hugard Co. appeared again at !

the King's Theatre- lu*t night before -another well-filled house. Tne variousturns, notably the illusions and tho Jthrilling riflo tshootiug act, were sue- <cessfully given and loudly applauded. *The company will appear again to- <night.

GRAND "THEATRE.There were crowded attendances at

all sessions of the Grand Theatre yes-terday, when a now programmo wasshown. The principal attraction was afilm entitled "Tho Great EuropeanWar,', in which some of tho events oftho present struggle wcro shown on thoscreen.

FROM "THE PRESS"OF 1864.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8

"Our attention has been called tothe barbarous practice of killing theducks and other wild fowl during thepreseut time, when the birds are breed-ing. Every poulterers shop in thetown is full of these birds, many ofthem probaoiy shot from off tho nest,to the destruction of the young ones.If this is to be allowed, the island will,in tho course of a few years, be desti-tute of game. The subject is wellworth the attention of the Acclimatisa-tion Society; they are working hardfor the introduction of foreign birdsinto New Zealand, and: it would at thesame time be advantageous, if, throughtheir instrumentality, a law could kepassed for the preservation of thosespecies with which Providence hasblessed the country."

SIR JOHN HENNIKERHEATON'S LAST DAYS.

(specially ttrittex rox "ths press.")

(Br Me3 Jclias Grajhw.)GENEVA, September 14

Tho cable informed the New ZealandPress probably more rapidly than theLondon Press learned by telegram, oftho death of Sir John Henniker Hea-ton, at Geneva, on Tuesday last, Sep-tember ~m. so well known is ho inNew Zealand, and so much itseems to mc, have we for gratitude tohim, that I think some account of hislast days may be of interest, evenalthough tho first thought pf us all isstill for tho war.

About tho middle or end of July SirHenniker Hcaton went to Carlsbad, ioAustria, for tho sako of his health,which does not seem to have improvedduring his stay there. Indeed, Ilearned afterwards from Lady Franklin,wifo of Sir Benjamin Franklin, whowere both in Carlsbad at the same timeas -ir Henniker Heaton, that hoseemed very foeble, and frequently fellasleep even whilo talking to people.Tho war news naturally fctill furtnerdepressed him, especially as, beingwholly derived from German and Aus-trian .sources, it gave the most woefulaccounts of British misfortunes, anddaily recounted an unbroken series ofglorious victories gained by England'senemies. In such circumstances evena strong person's health was hardlylikely to bo improved. • I" order tomako matters worso and to retain fortho Carlsbad hotels and also for thosoof the not very distant Austrian resortof Maricnbad, an excellent set of weu-off English guests, not only were allkinds of difficulties put in tho way oftheir having a special train to takethem to the ...sviss frontier, but theywere told all manner of tales, such asthat Switzerland was overcrowded andno more foreigners would be admitted;that thero was famine in tho country,and famine in London—not enoughbread, not enough provisions of anykind, whereas of course just at thotime many kinds of provisions had ac-tually fallen in price owing to heavysupplies having been recently landed.More than this, tho Austrians wouldbring this false "news" or even forgedand faked telegrams with hypocriticalexpressions of regret. Every morningthe English would wake up to find ahuge German or Austrian flag flyingoutside titcir windows, in order to im-press upon them the glorious Ausfcro-German victories and the plight of theAllies, with Paris in flames, the FrenchPresident assassinated, General Frenchand his staff captured, and the BritishExpeditionary Forco in France annihi-lated.

Eventually it was the AmericanConsul. Mr Hoover, who extricated atany rate some of the pent-up Englishin Carlsbad and Marienbad, securinga special train for them to the Swissfrontier, whence the Swiss FederalRailways brought them to Geneva byanother special train. Mr Hoovermotored to Vienna from Carlsbad, andthreatened the authorities there in sucha way that ho' gained his end. Eventhen, however, only about 250 Englishcould bo removed—the elderly men andthe ladies. Accordingly last week thetrain at length left, having on board'■besides, Sir John Henniker Heaton,Lord Westbury, Sir Benjamin and LadyFranklin, Princo and Princess I>uleepSingh, Sir Philip and Lady Waterlow,and many other well-known Englishpeople. A number of the younger men,however, havo been left behind inCarlsbad and Marienbad, where theyare virtually prisoners of war, andwhore they are must remain no onoknows how lons. In the cir-cumstances, of course, the traincould have neither a dining carnor a sleeping-car attached. It arrivedat the Swiss frontier (Buchs) at 4 a.m.on Friday, September 4th, and thereeveryone changed into the Swiss trainvia Zurich and Berne to Geneva, whichwas reached somewhat after one o'clock.Just before reaching Zurich Sir Hen-niker Heaton had some bread andcheese for breakfast, presumably all hocould get, and this seems to have madehim ill. so that Lord Westbury tele-graphed for a doctor to meet the trainat Olten, and then, as no doctor ap-peared (most medical men were probablymostly away with tho troops oron mili-tary service), for a doctor to meet thetrain at Berne. At Berne, -where myhusband and I met the train, we sawour own doctor, a French-Swiss, go onboard it, and he eeems to have decidedthat Sir Henniker Heaton couldproceed to Geneva. At Berne my bus-band went on the train, and travelledwith Sir Henniker Heaton to Geneva,I staying in Berne to despatch tele-grams. During tho journey he wastalking for a time with Sir HennikerHeaton, who was lying in a. dressing-gown,in a corridor carriage by himself,looking somewhat exhausted. It wasfourteen years since my husband andho had met, in Ireland, but Sir Johnrecognised him at once, immediatelynoticing that ho had with him someEnglish papers of August 26th. atwhich he was able to glance, saying, "I

have not seen an English paper sine©tho war broke out."! By the time he reached Geneva hoI"was rather better, and, leaning on myIhusband's arm, managed to walk alongithe platform to tho hotel omnibus.JDirectly he arrived, three specialistsand Sir Benjamin Franklin consultedIabout, him, concluding that his lifecould not possibly bo prolonged much.Lord Westbury telegraphed to I/adyHenniker Heaton. Everybody tele-graphed, in short, but so bad were thecommunications via Paris (under mar-tial law, it will bo remembered), thatto receive an answer to a telegram tookmuch longer than, in ordinary circum-stances, to receive an answer to a letter.Thus it was not until the day of SirJohn's funeral, the lOih. that a tele-gram, asking for particulars, was re-ceived from Lady Henniker Heaton.But to telegrams sent (or supposed tohave been sent) from Austria, there wasnever any answer at all, end "tho onlyinference to be drawn was that the Aus-trian officials had pocketed tho moneyand never sent the telegrams. Thesetelegrams, moreover, were sent "replypaid! ,.

Sir Henniker Heaton lay in what•was practically a comatose staie inGeneva, until he died. Ho roused, how-ever, once, sufficiently to recognise andaddress by name a young Australianfrom Sydney, Mr Oswald Cheeke, whowas staying* just then in Geneva, andwho, having known Sir John and hisfamily well, went to see him. and waswith him when ho died. Mr Cheeketold him that he had written or tele-graphed to some members of the Hea-ton family, and when those were men-tioned by their Christian names SirJohn seemed to understand.

On the Tuesday, not quite four daysafter his arrival in Geneva, Sir JohnHenniker Heaton died, at 11.33 in themorning. My husband was in Genevaand 1 waiting in Heme, expect-

a telephone " menace or atele-rain from my husband tha*1 "vas to co to Geneva also,

where he had been since Monday after-noon and he then received news of birHenniker Heaton's being wor*o. OnMonday evening he telephoned to mothat Sir John was rather better, buton Tuesday, at noon, he telephoned thenews of his death. I U>legrapbedthe news from Berne to the Londonpapers, my Inland telegraphed fromGeneva, in the hope that ilone tele-gram did not get through tic otheiwould. It is in Pans, 1 *ho *'>'that the telegrams have oeen hold up,apparently indiscriminately, t.or. sC"™l

dovs 1 left for Geneva that attci-noon, arriving there that same cvon-inrr I telegraphed at once to MrMackenzie, the New Zealand HighCommissioner in London hop.. B «J«ho might receive the.. telegram earlythe' next morning, Wednesday andsend mc a reply in the course of t..0da" I asked, should I lay a wreathon'Sir Henniker Heatoii's grave on be-half of New Zealand. I waited all dajlong on Wednesday, and then, as noanswer came, and as 1 was .certain tbwas owing .to bad telegraphic commoncation, I ordered a large white wreathmyself. On a phoefc of notepaper at-tached I wrote: "With.ever gratefulrecollection of Sir John HennikerHeaton, and of his Imperial woikmcementing tho bonds betweenland and the Mother Country. On be-half of the Dominjon of .New Zealand.—Mr and Mrs Julian Grande. .

Two days later, on Friday evening,Jreceived\a telegram from Mr Macken-zie—"Please place wreath on . i»«

*rav# iith voiding, 'With New Zea-land's loving and appreciative remem-brance.' " So that I had correctly ni-

terpreted his wishes and sentiments.Meantime Lord tvestbury had

bought a plot of ground in the SaintGeorges Cemetery for 5)9 years. InGeneva, at the time, thero were notonly all tho many Engiisn people whohad known Sir Henniker Heaton in

Carlsbad, and had travelled with Inmin the same train from Austria, butalso Mrs Gheeke, of Sydney, and herson,, Mr Oswald Cheeke.. whom 1 havealready mentioned, and Mrs Quirk, otMelbourne. Mrs and Mr Cheeke chosenot a -wreath to lay on the coffin, bntthe Commonwealth flag, carried,out mwhite and red dahlias and blue corn-flowers. Blue flowers of tho rightshade for the blue of the.Union Jackwere extremely difficult to procure atthis time of year, although there wereplenty of beliutiful white, pink, andpurple flowers, asters and gladiolusespecially. Mrs Quirk, of Melb&urne,laid a great sheaf of •white flowers bythe c-offin. Tho Commonwealth flag .in

flowers was at tho. head, and a verylarge purple and white wreath, fromSir ' John's Carlsbad friends, at thofoot; the New Zealand wreath at onosid«; on the top a beautiful sheaf ofpink gladiolus.

Defaulting Solicitors.Thrco cases of misconduct of solicitorsin respect to clients' moneys entrustedio-their caro liavo recently beenVought to ligKS in Christchurch, andthe question lias,again been raised as to

Low far tho Law Society is dischargingits duty of keeping-up tho standard ofprofessionalhonour among its members,and, by tho exercise of its disciplinarypowers, safeguarding the interests ofthe public. On the occasion of the lastscandal of tho eamo kind occurring inChristchurch, we pointed out how ex-tremely difficult it is to guard againstsuch, cases of fraud so long as clientsfail to follow the most ordinary dictatesof commonsens© -when entrusting theirfunds'to others for investment, and woare still of opinion that the task of pro-tecting those who will not tako themost elementary precautions to protectthemselves is extremely difficult. Wesuggested, Jiowovor, that it would beone step in tho right direction if soli-citors-woro compelled to have the ac--icounts of trust funds Under their con-trol regularly audited by an indepen-dent auditor—a practico that has al-ready been adopted by many of theleading firms for their own protection;Last year a Bill was brought down bythe Government and passed, amendingthe Law Practitioners Act, 1908, whichnot only gives further powers to theLa-sv Society-in the way of investigatingcharges' of misconduct against any prac-titioner, but empowers tho Govcrnor-in-Councilto framo regulations providingamong other things for an annual audit.o*f the trust accounts of every solicitor,and for a report of tho result of thataudit. Inasmuch as tho regulationswere not required to be submittedfor the Governor's approval until March31st last, there has not yet been timo.-for-this'■ provision to be carried intopractical effect. Frankly, wo feelbound, to admit that, though this isan -undoubted improvement in the law,it will not render frauds by solicitorsimpossible in the future, nor wilj it do

ercising some degree of vigilanco andcircumspection in their dealings withlawyers. It is. indeed, open to doubtwhether the Act as passed ensures areally efficient audit of trust accounts.The auditor is entitled to demand., theproduction of " books, papers, and ac-

" counts," and unless this empowershim to 'Scmand the production of deedsand other securities for the- trustmojievs invested—about which therea-oni.s to 1m some doubt—It is 'dearthat the audit, will not be satisfactory.A more serious point to bo consideredis that if a solicitor intends to de-fraud a client, he -will probably takocare not. 10 pay tho moneys receivedinto a trust account, and consequentlythe, matter will not come under theauditor's in'poeuon and examination.

While we agree that a great respon-sibility re.->t.s oil the I>au' Society in thismatter, wo qnito j>eo that in the pre-sent state of the, Jaw its task js not

from difficulty. We believe that tholocal Law Society is at ;ill time? readyto investigate charges against any mem-bers of the profession, and is anxiousto protect, the public. Obviously it isvery much lo the interest oi' -'ill honestand reputable members oi' the profes-sion that thi.% should be done. 50 thatthe confidence of Ihn public may bo re-tained. Apparently, however, thoCouncil can do nothing on its own mo-tion, and it is easy to understand thatits disciplinary powers are in con.se-quenec very much crippled. When aclient becomes uneasy about his soli-citor's dealings with his investments—souneasy that ho takes another solicitorinto his confidence—his chief anxietynaturally is to get l.ia money back. Heknows that if a complaint is mado-totho Law Society and it turns oiit tobo a. case of fraud, there will bo aprosecution, and any hope of recoveringany of his own money will in all prob-ability vanish. Ho instructs his newlegal adviser accordingly, and the latter,being bound to rospect his client's con-fidence, is debarred from himself bring-ing the matter before the Council. Thowhole question will now doubtless againcome beforo the Law Society for veryserious consideration, and wo hope- thatthey will be ablo to doviso some fur-ther improvement in tho method of.dealing with such cases. In the mean-time tho public will be well advised tosatisfy themselves personally that thomoney they entrust to solicitors for in-vestment is applied according to theirinstructions. It is worth the considera-tion of the Law Society whether mem-bers of the legal profession should notbe prohibited from acting as land agentsand carrying on other business foreignto the practico of tho law. It mightalso be deemed desirable to insert fur-ther statutory powers so that all the■books and accounts of legal firms, notmerely trusfc accounts, should bo sub-mitted to an annual audit by auditorsappointed by the Law Society and re-porting to the Council, the latter beingempowered to make further investiga-tion where it is not satisfied with theauditor's report. Pending such anamendment of tho law, respectable firmsmight find it to their advantage tosubmit their books voluntarily to acomplete audit, including tho examina-tion of-securities, a copy of the audi-tor's report being furnished to eachclient of the firm.

The Opposition's Allies.Our Opposition friends are showingfresh signs of anxiety to win back thosupport of the moderate men whoformerly voted against tho ReformParty, tfUt who have learned much since1911. These electors care more forgenuine Liberal principles than forparties or labels, and .they have duringthe past three years witnessed a- finerand. more substantial body of progres-sive legislation placed upon the statutebook by tho present Government thanwas achieved by the Ward Governmentduring its whole term of office. HardlyJess important in their eyes is the factthat the Opposition have throughout thopast two and a half years played thogame of the Rod Feds. The two prin-cipal Opposition newspapers—those ofWellington and Chrietchurch—havo de-clared definitely, when the Red Feds,were at ihe height of their influence,that official "Liberalism" and the Fede-ration of Labour woro so closely akinthat their objectivo was, one and thosame. When the Waihi strike wason, and the Red Feds, were estab-lishing a-reign of tenor in that town,tho "Liberals" looked on complacently.The Rod Fed. candidates in the Househave supported Sir J. G..Ward throughthick and thin. Mr P. C. Webb hasfrankly declared, as one who is anxiousto see the Red Feds, lifted up again,that ho dosires Sir Joseph Ward's re-turn to office, During the striko thoattitude and the utterances of theLeader of tho Opposition, the Opposi-tion members, and the Opposition news-papers, greatly encouraged the syndi-calists in their war. on the community.And now tho "Liberals" and tho,RodFeds, aro working liand-in-hand, al-though prior engagements and specialcircumstances which tho Oppositionleaders could not explain without em-barrassment, have necessitated thespoiling, in somo cases, of tho perfectharmony of the allianco between »SirJ. G. Ward's and Mr Semple's partievs.

But the Social-Democrats, tho Oppo-sition are explaining, arc not Socialists,not Red Feds.—indeed, not- Social-IXomocrats «it all. but good, soundLiberals. Wo are asked not to inentonthe'Red Fods., and the public is assuredthat "the handful of revolutionary ex-"tremiste have been practically 'driven"out of the .Labour movement." Be-fore they can believe this, the moderatemajority of the community will wish oknow why the "Labour movement'3 isbeing entirely managed by the menwho managed the Federation and aidedtho strike. Mr D. G. Sullivan is the Pre-sident of the Federation of labour,being placed in that position", as MessrsSemple and Hickey carefully explained■3fe-^k^-Poi:^orCDCCJ merely as a tempo-

rary tactical expedient. Mr Hollandis (.ho official Labour candidate for "Wel-lington North, chosen by tho sameforces which havo put forward'Mr D.McLaren. Mr Hunter -was tho lojcalJled T'cd. leader during the strike. Mr

IP. C. Webb is theonly serious rival MrjSemplo h;ks over had in tho syndicalistIchieftainship. Indeed, the "Labourmovement" has everywhere put fonvardprominent Rc<l Fed, loaders and oratorsas candidates. So lately as Sunday,Messrs Somplo and I'arrj -, in this city,appeared ns the election agents of tho"Labour movement." -svith tho Labourcandidate for Christeniircb. liast as iheirservitor. The public knows well enoughthe mm a;id the policy upon whom thoOpposition are depending. ' "Whattho community is ;il>out tos<:e i> an attack by the Ro<l Fods.and '•Liberals"' upon its political liber-ties, just as lest ye;»r it saw rthosomo combination ranged against itss-fK;ia| and commercial freedom. Justa> the wtrlier attack was defeated, sowii! t!ie new attack fail.

Progress of the War"Hard pounding, gentlemen!" must sfoo "who can pound tho longest."This saying of the l>nko of Wellingtonmust, frequently havo been callotl tomind during the titanic struggle thatis going on between tho opposing armiesin Franco and Belgium.l There arcnow not wanting .signs that thesuperiorpower ci endurance is with tho Allies.The weakening of the enemy's offensive,tho increasing readiness of tho Ger-mans f> surrender, tell their own taloindependent ot' tho actual progresswhich tho Allies are' making, notablynorth of Messinos, around fc'oiasons, andin tho neighbourhood of Saint Mihiel.The sacrifice of life, particularly on thoGerman side, continues to bo appalling.It is stated that during tho past fort-night 20,000 Germans have been buriedwithin six miles of Ghent. Mr HilaireBelloc computes the German losses todate, including missing and sick, atono and three-quarter' millions. Thismust ho large!}*- guess-work, but thomost conservative estimate wouldshow tho German losses on a scalo un-exampled in modem history, and these,if continued, rauet very speedily ex-haust Germany's power of resistance

Tho reported naval engagement offthe Chilian coast is still enveloped insome mystery, in the absence of fulldetails from the Admiralty. Piecingtogether the very imperfect data tohand, it looks as if the BritiSn. squad-ron got to know of tho presence oftho enemy ships, and took steps to in-tercept thorn and bring them to battle.The Good Hope, Monmouth and Glasgowout-steamed tho Canopus and Otranto,and,'undaunted by the fact that theenemy ships outnumbered them by fiveto throe—six to three if it is true thatthe Bremen was present—successfullybrought them to action. As for thelosses on the British side, we have atpresent only German accounts, and weare 'tolcTnothing of any casualties ontho enemy's side. It is exceedingly un-likely that their ships 'have *escapedscot-free. We shall not be surprised,especially in view, of a telegram fromTokio, if what has taken place is orilytho first act of the drama, and thattho second will be supplied by a furtherengagement in which, tho Germansquadron will be brought to account byBritish and Japanese ships.

There are gleams of humour in thefurious boycott in Germany of every-thing English. At first it was'proposedthat Shakespeare should come underthe ban, and the idea, was apparentlyacceptable. But we learnthat at onehouse, at least, the Doutsches Theatrein Berlin, Shakespearean plays are be-ing produced uudpr the direction ofMax Reinhardt. Playgoers were con-sulted, and thoso who declared for theplay seem to have inclined to the opin-ion that Shakespeare was really a Ger-man author! But this i s what onemight expect from German conceit.Wo should liavo thought that "HenryV." would at this juncture be the mostunsuitable of all the plays, for produc-tion in Germany, but Herr yon Beth-mann-Hbllweg is reported to have said:''Play 'Henry V..' whose royal words,'Then to Calais, from there to Eng-land's soil,' will find an echo in Ger-man, hearts." Did the Chancellor for-get the words of the chorus in"Henry V.," so appropriate to Eng-land's mood to-day?Now all the youth of England aro on fire,And eiiker dalliance in tho wardrobe lice;Now thrive tho armourers, and honour'sthoughtRcigne soldy in Iho breast of every man.Wβ'do not suppose »"Henry V. , ' isbeing played in Berlin, but if ifc is, weare quit© certain that these lines arenot spoken.

Tho Senussi, who are reported to bemarching on Egypt, are a sect aboutwhom a good deal has been written ofrecent years. They are fanatical Mo-hammedans, and are to be found in thonorthern part of the great Africandesert, from near the frontier ofEgypt to Morocco. Their headquartersaro in tho oasis of Ktifra, in the Libyandesert, south of Tripoli. Kufra is onejof the most inaccessible places in theworld. Only one European has everpenetrated to it, and that was a goodmany years ago. Ambitions promisinggroafc peril to tho European nationswho hold African territory have beenattributed to the Soimssi. The adher-ents of the Order, which resembles asecret society in its methods, numbera mitlion, and their militant fanaticismwould make them formidable foes. Itis known that they do a great deal ofproselytising work among non-Moslemtribes in more southerly parts of thecontinent. No doubt the danger fromthe Senussi has been exaggerated.Sufficient account has not been takenof lack of organisation, modern arms,and military training, which wouldhamper any attempt made by thoSeaussi to drivo the British, French,or Italians out of Northern Africa.Still, with the Turks on the easternfrontier, an irruption of Senusei in thewest would be exceedingly awkward forthe British in Egypt. This would,however, compel Italy to take a handin tho widening war. Italy could notallow her newly-acquired colony to bethreatened by Senussi success.

We referred the other day to a re-buke administered to Mr JBcrnard Shaw

lin "Blackwood's." Mr Shaw, afterIridiculing British defences in peace,when -war broke out immediately be-came an advocate of hard-bitting."Our immediate business,', he said,'•is to fight as hard as we can." , MrShaw's immediate business, commentedthe "Blackwood" -writer, was to holdhis tongue. It is still his business, andtho appeal ho has made to PresidentWilson makes us wish more than everthat ho would cultivate silence. .Mr |Shaw wants neutral countries to in-'duco tho French, British, and Ger-mans to clear out of J3ohjiuiu, andfight in their own countries. As to how [the combatants arc to disengage, and jwhero tho fighting is to be resumctS. iMr Shaw cannot have tho vaguest no- jtion. It is tlie most tuprouioly silly isuggestion of tho war. Mr .Shaw is \regarded by some of his admirers as a igreat thinker. "Tho -worst of greatthinkers," .said Bright, "is that theyso often think wrong." ]

I Most Canterbury people are familiarJ nowadays with tho liberties the Oppo-sition newspaper takes with officialfigures, and, accordingly., they are in-clined to pay little attention to Oppo-sition statistics. This is ;t pity, becausefrequently our contemporary quotesfigures correctly. To bo sure, it .select'sits figures very carefully; the Opposi-tion are very s-eusitive on tho point,and do not hesitate to ignore- thofigures which will not Indiavo nicely.Yesterday it- picked out n low figuresfrom tho Abstract of Statistics,for Oc-tober, but it failed to quote the reallyinteresting onos. It would not harehelped the '"Liberal -, argument thatMr Massey has borrowed enormously,perhaps, but it would have helped thatargument to be understood, to quotothese figures:—Riso in public indebt-erine** perhead in lasf two years of WardAdministration .. .574Rise in first two years of ReformAdministration .. .. \ 9 0

If -we continue this sort of com-parison, and apply it to taxation, wehave this result: —

Mr Massey is blamed because,between the y-ears 1911-12 and 19KM1tho expenditure increased by £1,'00,----4xMj, as against an increase of£1,163,-500 in revenue. But let «s takethe central period of tho Ward Ad-ministration—when, Aye suppose, Waxd-ism was at its prime:—

GENERAL NEWS.

As the weeks go by the interest inthe doings of the nations engaged mwar suffers no diminution, but with itall the people who must stay at homekeep their seasonable functions as faras possible, and here in New- Zealandthe Agricultural Associations and theracing institutions ar© holding theirannual meetings. On Saturday Canter-bury's Carnival Week commenced, andtwo days before the Manawatu A. andP. Association held its Show at Pal-merston North. The special photo-graphers of the "Weekly Press ob-tained excellent pictures of the NorthIsland's premier exhibition, and of thefirst day's racing at the CanterburyJockey Club's New Zealand Cup Meet-ing. These have been engraved in thestyle of excellence for which the"Weekly Press" is renowned, and theyassist in making up a very fino issue,which will bo on safe to-day. The pic-tures from the Manawatu Show, includethe principal champions, and those fromIticoarton thecontest for the New Zea-land Cup and the splendid crowd thatwitnessed it. Our contemporary againhas a wide and varied collection of illus-trations from the seat of war. TheLondon Scottish, the first Territorialsto receive their baptism of fire, whenthey valiantly upheld the Army's tra-ditions, are seen marching throughLondon, and there are fine portraits ofAdmiral Lord Fisher, the new First SeaLord, and General Botha, who is uii-gaged in suppressing the South Africanrebellion engineered by Germany. Thereare a good many pictures from the Ger-man lines, and in these we get a sightof her enormous siege gun wnich playedsuch havoc with the fortifications ;nBelgium, her Land=>turm on the way. tothe front, her transportable searchlight

! for hunting air-scouts, and a section ofher .army utilising a wood for coverbefore attacking a British position. Thereverse comes in a vivid drawing of theBritish burning their enemy out of awood in which they sought shelter. Verymany more pictures are given, andthen there is a page most interestingto every local individual, for it chowsin a small measure the work that hasto be accomplished to enable- a forceto advance in a country of rivers. Thescene depicted represents tho Cantor-bury engineers constructing a pontoonbridge across tile Avon, making an oil-drum raft, and a tarpaulin punt.

At Dxmedin on Sunday, Biahop Vor-don laid the foundation stone ox thenew Christian Brothers' School. Theaddress was given by ArchbishopO'Shea. The cost will bo about I'SOOO,and of this amount about £6000 is inhand or promised. All this money hasbeen ra:s«d within t-h-o last twelvemonths. Sunday's collection amountedto about £400.

"What does the-Government proposeto do in connexion with a war tax."was a question asked of the PrimeMinister (the- 3U. Hon. W. F. Massey),at his Papakura meeting list night. Inreply, lie said ho thought it would bemost foolish to impose a war tax. TheGovernment had arranged for a loanat a very favourable rate of interest.The war would cost New Zealand£2,ooo,ooo—probably more—aud ifa war tax was imposed what would bothe effect?

NOTES ANDCOMMENTS.

Tt is reported that tho battle-cruiserGoeben and her consortsto Constantinople, having escaped en-couutor with Russian warships. Apartfrom two light cruisers and a numberof destroyers, none of tho Russianships in tho Black Sea are fast enoughto attempt pursuit of the Goeben,Breslau, Medjidieh, and Hamidieh.The best speed of any of the Russianarmoured ships is about 18knots, whiletho Goeben has a speed of 28} knots,tho Breslan of 27$ knots, and tho othertwo ships 23 knots. It is doubtful whe-ther any warship has over had a moreinglorious career than tho Gcoben andBreslau. In the first weeks of tho warthese two flno warships, after a desul-tory bombardment of Bona and Philip-peville, escaped by reason of their su-perior speed from a British squadron.Their reported sale to Turkey seems tohavo been n myth, for they havo re-tained their German crews. Thoseamazing shins, without any previouswarning, left Constantinople flying theflag of Turkey, which till then had pre-served a more "or less doubtful neu-trality, and by shelling several Rus-sian ports, committed .nu act of war,which has since called forth declara-tions of war n gainst Turkey from Rus-sia, Britain. France, and Belgium.Having done, all this, theso ships post-pone theirday of reckoning by refusingto fight the Russian shin?, and coollysteam back into Constantinople.

The Germans have committed manyflagrant breaches of the rules of civi-lised warfare, and not the. least of thesebreaches is tho uso of tho 3ted Crossflag as a disguise for ships which."arosuspected ofbeing used for laying mines.Tho Admiralty announced theother day that tho Germanvessel Oniiolia had been dotainedbecauso her name -was not notified totht> British' Government as a hospitalship. It is stated thatthis ship be-haved in a manner "inconsistent -withthe duties of a hospital ship," and willbe dealt with by the Prize Court. TheOphelia is a ship of a class that is scar-cely likely to bo used a? a hosnital ship,being a small oargo steamer, of thocollier type, of lli'3 tons register. Sheis of tho same class as steamers em-ployed in tho New Zealand coal trade,and is about tho same size ns tho Kini.It is very probable that while sailinguuder tho Rod Cross, tho Ophelia hasbeen employed to lay mines or for re-C(Hii)ai.snnce* purposes, for we arc toldthat a quantity of explosives was foundon board tho ship.

A I'ov days ago tbo Admiralty an-nounced that tho Germans had boonemploying ships flying neutral flags toscatter mines indiscriminately in the-open sea on the main trade route fromAmerica to Liverpool, via tbo north ofIreland. Mine-laying under ties© cir-cumstances, and reoonnaisaaee con-iluctdd by trawlers, hospital ships, andvessels under neutral flags arc statedby the Admiralty to be ordinary fea-tures of German naval warfare.The North Sea, msido a Imedrawn from the northern point, of theHebrides through the Faroe Islandsto Iceland, has beon proclaimed a mihr

The less of the armoured cruiser\orck is a serious one for the German

aiT. and much more s-o, by compari-son of tho reLv.ire <: :\.«t strengths ofthe iuo fleets, than our lo>* o: the GoodHope and Mojinic uh. The Yorck.liko her sister ship, tho Roou. was acomgaratively new ship, having beenbuilt in 10(>{-i}0. at a fo.=t of £373.000.Sho was a 21-knot cruisor of tons.and for her sizo was a very heavilyarmed sliip. She tarried four S.-in,ten o.9in, fourteen 3.4in. and threeI.4in guns, and four torpedo tub**, andwas protected uitii Krupp sioel armour-1 to c inches in thickness. The Yorcl?and Roon ranked next in size andarmament aftfr the Stharnhorsi andGnoisenau. Aithotijxli n was at first ro-

>ported that tho Yorck was .-unk bystriking mines m Jahdo JJay, "TheTimes"' otatos that the vesje!, wliiclipartic:pat-ed in thy abortive raid on thyeast coast of England, was torpedoed bya British submarine. This may well be-true, for. ever since the out break ofwar Briiish submarines have been mak-ing visits u> tho German com si. andh.tvo penctra-tod as far as the entranceto Wilhelntshai-cn. What'.'ver thecause, this cruiser k- a bad loss to theGerman navy, ami has gone to the bot-tom as surely as the unfortunate tor-pedo boat destroyer GI7S. which, it willbo remembered, was sunk two milessouth of Heligoland by the Yorck, dur-ing mnnajuviv-s on March 6th last year,two officers and 63 men being drowned.

The message from Perth regardingthe Mghtinj of the Emden by a Britishwarship refers to an event which tookplace nearly a mouth a30. ThoEmden was accompanied by the Ham-burg-Amerika steamer Markomaiinia,4005 tons, which v::.s acting as .a sup-ply and store shin, and "the Greeksteamer Pontonouros, which hadcoaled the cruiser several times. Al-though the Emden. which steamed offas soon as she was sighted, escaped byher superior ypcpd. tho Britishcruiser sank the Markomamiia andcaptured tho Pontopouros, which wastaken as a prize of war into Ponang.lhis incident occurred on October 14th.! It the statement from Tokio thatthe Japanese Admiralty has receivedreports of an impending action be-tween Japaneeo ships and the Gormaniacific Squadron has any foundationin fact, wo may expect to receive somevery interesting news from tho South-eastern Pacific before very long. ThoGerman Squa.dro7i referred to com-prises tho Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, andtheir smaller consirts. There are, ofcourse, obvious reasons for doubtingthat tho Japaneso would make publicany information regarding their navaldispositions indicating that an engage-ment was pending. On tho other hand,it would not be surprising to learnthat some of the Japanese ships whichhave been co-operating; with the Britishsquadrons in tho Pacific, havo got intotouch with the German Squadron ovenso fatf afield as the coash of South'Amorica.

So ;far we havo received no officialaccount from tho Admiralty regardingthe action of November let, that pub-lished yesterday having been based otiwhat was described as "trustworthy in-formation." It will bo noticed also'ithat no officialstatementregarding theaction has yet been made by Germany,and that a Santiago messaget-tabes thattho Chilian Government referred totho "alleged" engagement. If tho Gor-man squadron srink the Good Hope, amipossibly Iho Monmouth, and drove offtho Glasgow, it is strange that thosuccess has notbeen announced fromGermans*, whero the news would cer-tainly be rcceivod with wild enthusi-asm. None of tho "accounts receivedso far toll us anything of tho damagesustained l>y tho German ships, whichcould not come through such a hot Oghtunscathed. Even tho statement issuedby tho Admiralty is very incomplete,as other messages, including one- pub-lished this morning, give the names ofGerman ships, one ofN them being theBremen, which are not mentioned intho Admiralty's account of tho fight.The German shins which havo beenmentioned in tho different stories arothe Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leipzig,Nurnberg, Dresden, and Bremen. Tholast two, if they were actually present,have apparently been driven from thoAtlantic into the Pacific, and it maybe, when the full story is told, we shallfind that tho engagement off tho coastof Chili was only an incident in a bigscheme of naval operations.

Although there was little chanco ofher getting far from Honolulu, ovenhad her commander chosen to leave orbeen forced to do so by the Americanauthorities, since a Japanese cruiserwas waiting for hor outsido tho terri-torial three-mile. limit, if. is satisfac-tory to know that the small Germancruiser has been interned at that port,thus removing , the last menace toBritish, and Japanese shipping in tboNorth Pacific. Tho (Teier, which wascruising between New Guinea and Javaearly in the war. put into Honolulu onOctober lGth, ostensibly for repairs toher engines, and has remained theroever since. Tho laws of neutrality allowa belligerent ship twenty-four hours ina m>u:rai port, and the prolonged stayof the Geier at Honolulu called forthprotests from Britain and Japan to theAmerican Government against the ves-sel being allowed to remain in port.Tho Goier, and tho stoamor Locksun,which was probably armed, have beenplaced under a guard of Americantroops. Their guns and crews havebeen removed, and, with the shirkstrill bo kept in custody until the endof tho war.

The London Scottish, who havefought*so heroically in France, are »picked body of men. Four years agoit was mentioned that they had ."300pen waiting to get into the ranks.There are other Territorial regimentswhose is equally good. Ageneral officer declared a. few yearsago ih.it he had a battalion in a Surreytown <jqt:al in physique to a battalionof the Guards, and as ho was an oldGuardsman, ho spoke with knowledge-.Such battalions, hardened by continu-ous training since tho war started,must be lino fighting units now. Lord

IHaldane. tho creator of tho Terri-itortals. set down .six months as thelime required to train tho Territorialsfor services attor tho outbreak of Tar.Five years ago tho military correspon-dent of '"Tho Times" thought well: enough of tho force to believe thatthis penol couid bo shortened. "Giventime.' patience, and persexora-nce. theTerritorial Force i.s bound to be a &uc-coss. Certainly, it is not fife tor im-mediate Jorvieo now. and an enemywh.-> attacks it before September, 1011.will it unready. But, two yearshenco, if vis.-' pnn'dnncA at Army Head-quarters and sustained in allranks continue, to prevail, tho Terri-torial Force- will, in tho writer's onin-ion, be ready for service in half thetimo that is usually anticipated, and-.nth evory suoceedin-c; year we shall beable to dock something more fromthose six months which are popularlysappos-xl to bo the time required forenabling the second lino, if consider-ably superior in numbers to its foe,to take tho field with credit to itselfand to tho confusion of its enemiies."His opinion has been justified by whathas happened at Ypros.

Sonio of tho French keepers of ar-chives along the route of tho Germanshave shown :is much ingonuity in hidingtreasures as French soldiers in cloakingtheir machine-guns. No one has hndmoi-o success than 31. Gabriel Mourey.tho well-known artist in charge of thoCompiegne Chateau. The Germansworo in occupation of the chateau fortwelve days: slept in tho famous Tooms,but though they showed no particularrespect for any historical relics they re-fused to sleep on 3lario Antoinette'sbedstead, preferring topull the mattresson to, the floor! Tho famous tapes-tries had been previously hidden, andnone of tho Napoleon relics left werotaken away, probably owing to a. veryhurried departure. However, some oftho French beliovo that even in themidst of war German commercial in-stinct is busy, and a 3iumbt?r of relicsand curiosities havo been methodicallycollected for subsequent sale fromRheims and other towns. Tho first de-mand of tho German officers whereverthey billet themselves is for tho im-mediate installation of electric lightand tho telephone. Tho formerwas im-mediately installed even in tho chateau.Tho want of electricity is held to boproof of a lack of German culture.

Ono of tho finest acts of humanity re-corded from the battlefields is the fol-lowing, related by a wounded soldier inLivcrpood:—

Tho wife of a colonel was making thoround of a Liverpool hospital and stop-ped at tho bedside of a wounded High-lander—a very bad case. The gallantfelloWj ono of whoso legs had been re-cently amputated, was toying- with aGerman helmet, evidently a trophy ofwar.

"Well, waw," modestly replied thesoldier. "You see it was like this. Helay on th© field prottv "ear mo with anawfn' bad wound. I was losin, a lojt o'blood fra' this leg o' mine, but I man-aged to crawl up to him an' bound himup as best I could. Ho did the same formc.

Some highly sensational tales haveappeared in certain journals about thoalleged "degradation" at WindsorCastle of the banners of tbo EmperorWilliam and the other German Sover-eigns and Princes who are Knights oftho Garter (says ■ London "Truth").One reads of banners being draggeddown from their positions over thoslalls of thovarious Knights and throwndown iguominiously on the floor of thochoir of St. George's Chapel, with otherundignified proceedings. These narra-tives are all pure inventions. Tho Kingas Sovereign of tho Order <tf tho Gar-ter can act as lie plottsos, and the de-cision on tho subjoct is in his hands ex-clusively.

TRADE AND THEWAR.

THE POSITION AT HOME ANDABEOAD.

(rEOir ora. own coiuuspondent.)LONDON, September 30.

HOW BERLIN STOLE BRAINS.When it. comes to tho final settling

of accounts with Germany, writes Pro-fessor Felix * Leconte, from Ostend,thrrre will bo found business men who"will bo inclined to take pity on indus-trial Germany, and who might hesitate.}«-foro destroying it. lost they shoulddeprive bmn;tnity of tho advantageswhich at present accrue from its indus-try and technical organisation. That-.vonld be a mistake.

"Tim success of German industry is<!nr> to the cleverness of its salesmen.You b'jy an article from 5 v> 10 per>o!'.<. cheaper, but you receive an ar-ti<!o which in from o to 10 per cent.inferior in quality if it k a-tool, or 5t-o 10 ]>ci ''•out. doGcient in power if itis a much inc. Tiio power of Germanirdnstry is l«irn of theft. Alizarine,or artificial hlue,invented by an Eng-lishman, was refused German patentsby ihe Pat out Amt (office). Enormousprofits have consequently been madoby fraudulent means by Germany's, for-midablo ciiemical industries. The powero: tho German electrical industry isbijsod on a similar refusal by tho Patent-\mt to grant a patent to Gramme fortho invtmtion of his dynamo.

'These two examples will eufiico to'-bow that the Patent Amt wvie an offi-cial organisation existing to steal ideas.

HUGE DEMAND FOR BOOTS.A firm of boot manufac-

turers has reason for believing that theJJritrsh Government has placed, or isalvout to place, ordeivi for somethinglike ] .600,000 pairs of boots for Regu-lar*, for the now Army and for Terri-torials. France is placing orders fortwo million pairs, and the Belgian.--,iSerbs, and Greeks uro. making omjiiir-jcs. I>r. J. G. Barker, of Kerrnon.i-.sey, says that tho difficulties experi-enced at the beginning ot the war havebeen overcome. For the first Jorlijigritthero was almost a panic, owing to theshortage of tanning material, whichmostly comes from France and Hun-gary. Tho supply is now being madogood from America, Spain, Sweden,South Africa, Argentina, India, andnow a limited supply is coming fromFranco. The. supply of hides is morethan sufficient, ns the cargoes whichformerly -went to France, Germany, n.i*dBelgium, are largely diverted to Eng-land. Oar Army is better shod thanmany of the armies now fighting inEurope, and in this respect it is leaguesahead of tho Gorman Army.

JAPAN AND SOUTH SEAS.Of lato the Japanese steamship com-

panies havo been giving increasing at-tention to tho development of tradewith tho South Seas, particularly sinceCommander Hosaka, of the ImperialNavy, visited tho islands on behalf ofthe Government, and in a report toTokio stated that they wore most suit-able- for settlement, and had great re-sources still unexploitcd. Hβ also saidthat ho interviewed many of tho Chin-ese merchants there, and that# theyjTully realised tho necessity of. co-opera-tion -with. Japanesetraders "with a viewto tho further development of com-merce in tho Pacific.

.Some time ago the Department ofCommunications sanctioned a serviceto several of the more importantislands, and it is now understood that■when the agreement expires at the endof this year it will not only be rohewed,but.will also be. enlarged in it* scope.Vessels are- to bo replaced by up-ttf-tlate ships, and the subsidy will mostprobably bo largely increased. Atpreeentcoal forms a largo proportion of"the Japan to the SouthSeas, but other branches of trade arenot' being overlooked. France,. too,has been more active in that quarter ofthe world, and so also have the UnitedStates, and Holland, while there arenow indications of moro Australasianshipping enterprise.

OPPORTUNITIES IN BRAZIL.British firms in Brazil have now an

excellent opportunity of securing muchof the business hitherto handled by Ger-man houses.in that city. The numerousGorman import firms there aro abso-lutely debarred from receiving goods ofany kind.from Germany, and they canonly rely upon such stocks as they hap-pen to have on hand. The"y are quiteunable to execute any orders for Ger-man goods. In these circumstances itVS clear that British firms have anexceptionally good opportunity to se-cure for themselves those orders.which,.under normal conditions, would havegone to Germany; and once having se-cured- such trade they certainly oughtio bo able to retain it. Among the'principal articles of German import inRio do Janeiro havo been iron andsteel for . constructional purposes,cement, locomotives, and machinery ofvarious kinds, including agriculturalimplements, gas engines,' cutlery,, andhardware of various kinds, paper for;printing, - and other kinds, electricalplant and fittings of every description.V "SHEFFIELD BUSY.

Sheffield is in the fortunate position■ of supplying many requirements of tho."War Office and the Admiralty, and theresult is that week by week tho numberof unemployed decreases. So busy aretho workk that tho armament firms aweek ago had bigger bills than for someyears past. There is still a littleanxiety about the sources of supply oftho non-ferreous alloys required in themaking of crucible steel and light ar-mour, and the best is being done toovercome the disability which resultedwhen tho war stopped all,supplies oftungsten from Germany, which pre-liously had been the chief source. Stepsare being taken to manufacture tung-sten in this country.

Razor makers havo not been so busyfor many years. Old stocks which hadbeen written off in balance-sheets havebeen re-ground and despatched for theuse of the soldiers, and Governmentbuyers have cleared out practically allsuitable supplies. Further big ordershave been placed, and others are pend-ing, and it has been necessary to in-stitute overtime working and Sundaywork. Surgical instrument makers arevery busy, and there is no end to thowork in the cutlery trades on knivesfor soldiers in the field and for officers'cutlery.

DUTCH TEA MYSTERY.It is said that since tho outbreak of

warDutch merchants have been buyingand importing tea in unprecedentedquantities. The Tea Buyers' Associa-tion have noticed this activity, and havoasked the Hoard of Trade what coursotea wholesalers should follow. Al-though no announcement has beenmade, it is understood thai; the Govern-ment is watching tho matter closely.London is the great tea market ofEurope, and practically all thotea cou-suined on the Continent passes throughuur warehouses. The Germans are notgreat tea-driukors, but the greater partof their 1supply has come through Eng-land 'in the past. London tea mer-chants believethat, at tho outbreakof war tho Dutch sold their stocks oftea to Germany and that their presentfttgerness is duo to a desire to replenishthose stocks.

.IVOOL DEALERS, SUSPICIONS.'There is also more than a suspicionthat Germany has been, and is nowbuying wool in this country for makiii"fabrics for her army. f} lo idea hasbeen strengthened by considerable'pur-

chases in Yorkshire by firms residing inneutral countries, which are known todo a good business with Germany. Per-sistent enquiry coming from Continen-tal neutral countries, notably Holland,Sweden, and Denmark, makes one thinkit possiblo that Germany is executingorders in this way. Seeing that wehavo arrived at the time of tho yearwhen stocks of wool are light, and thatunder present conditions all our cross-bred wools will be wanted for militarycloths, it is suggested to tho'Board of

ITrado that, in conjunction with thoIWar Office, the exportation of crossbredjand all wools suitable for Army goods,iespecially those adapted for khaki mix-ture, screes, blankets, rugs, etc., shouldIbo prohibited.

THE COTION TRADE.According to report,

the masters and operatives in tho cot-ton trade had their losses seriously ag-gravated during this timn of war in con-sequence of the- inflated price of theraw material on the* Liverpool cottonmarket. The, urgent mcd of Lanca-shire- in tho present industrial crisis isthat tho cotton industry shall be freedfrom all restrictions and encumbrances,and to this end manufacturersan'l ofjiers aro appealing t-o the Go-vernment to ensure an adonnnt«» supplyof cheap raw cotton. The LiverpoolCotton Arroeiation have suspended thoopen market, and aro maintaining afictitious value for the cotton ownedby tnoir irtp-mber*. Sir Charles Mac.iraadvocates tho establishment by the Go-vernment of a large cotton reservewhich may bo drawn upon in lime ofshort crons. Tie estimator that a Go-vernment" scheme would involve a Sim!of .si.vtv millions sterlinr, but. bo main- jtnins that thero would bo little risk nttho at. vhich their cotton conldbo purchased and Government, inferven-tion might sa-vo a groat industrial rlis-n*or.e a>,; well ns prevent :itivri-ble distress in tho cotton districts dur-ing the time of the war.

BRITISH DOLLS.Although efforts aro being mado tocapturo tho German and Austrian toy

and doll trade, it i.s a mistake to sup-nose that the toys and dolls which willbe exhibited in the shons at Christmaswill be all-British. A" manager of awholesale depot says:—"One Britishmanufacturer to whom wo have givena large order has got tho necessaryplant, and ho has got some Germanswho are interested in the toy trade toshow him how to go about it. Wo havoa difficulty in getting tho heads forthe dolls, but there is a firm in thoMidlands working hard at it, and if wocannot mako tho heads of clay, it canbo done by means of a composition. Wocan always make tho eyes and thesqueakers in England. But as to there'being an all-British supply of dolls thiscoming Christmas, that must not bo ex-pected. A great deal of our stock isalready secured. We have to get it induring Juno and July on account ofour colonial'exports, and our contractsaro mado as early as January. Therewill bo no scarcity of dolls or toys, andthere will be a good supply of Britishmanufacture, hut not until next yearshall wo know how far this movementis going to succeed."

OVERSEA TRADE.BRITISH LACK OF ENTERPRISE.

(FROM Otm OWN COnBESFONDENT.)LONDON", September 30.

*Mr Austin Wilson (Hull and Barns-ley Railway) says in a letter to theNewcastle "Chronicle" that he has re-cently returned from a business tourthrough New Zealand, Australia, andSouth Africa. As our manufacturersare now ■ taking steps to capture theoverseas trade previously in the handsof German, manufacturers, Mr Wilsondetails some of the points, which fromhis own-experience may be consideredof importance. .Mr Wilson says:—

"I 'was met everywhere with thecry that German firms were more en-terprising, moro anxious to study theirclients' requirements, than Britishfirms. They were at all times preparedto specialise for any particular market,while British houses adopt generally acast-iron attitude, and only supplytheir standard articles. "His Majesty'sTrade Commissioners, I am sure, couldsupply; innumerable instances . of tradelost by • this ooutttry owing to thiscause alone. ,_

-'Then,- again, comparatively few Bri-tish. firms send representatives out toour oversea Dominions. It , is quitecommon, for instance, in any largecentre in Australia, New Zealand, andSouth Africa to find one firm represent-ing from six to thirty different Britishhouses, and representing them quite in-adequately, .especially where distancesare so great. ■ ■"ALso, German firms were• alwaysprepared to quote prices 'delivered,'while British firms very frequentlyquote 'f.o.b. U.K. port,' and the buyerdoes not know the actual cost of thegoods until they reach him.. Hβ conse-quently cannot forward sales with anydegree of. confidence. This question ofquoting 'f.o.b. U.K. port' is very gene-•raJ, and British firms , unnecessarilyhandicap themselves thereby. For in-stance, Glasgow and Yorkshire firmsc&uld quote cheaper prices 'f.o.b. Hum-bef ports/ biit in very few instances dothey take advantage of their,geographi-cal position. ■ .

"One of the largest foreign buyersin London told mc some time ago ofa largo contract placed' in Glasgow. Heoffered to arrange shipment from Glas-gow Docks if the makers would givehim somo; allowance, but they statedtheir price was 'f.o.b. U.K. port,' andthey could not make any allowance evenif. shipped from Glasgow: Hfe there-fore ordered tho whole oE- tho goods toLondon, and the makers had to pay.1 largo amount por ton more than ifthey had delivered 'f.o.b.' Glasgow.' 11have come across hundreds of similar in--1stances. In fact, any buying firm do-ing a largo oversea business- will beable to confirm my statements.' "These are only one or two instancesof how British firms handicap' them-selves m the competition for "overseabusiness, but 1 think any unbiasedperson will consider they are of suffi-cient importance- to call'for the atten-tion of thoso directly interested. Brief-ly stated, the loss of trade in the pastis largely owjng to the carelessness andlack of enterprise of British firms, andthough we may regain a cood deal oflost ground as a result of the war, itcannot be too strongly urged that com-mercial Britain must 'wake up' and paymore attention to the methods of -thpircompetitors if they liono to maintaina pre-eminent position."

THOUGHTS ONTHE WAR.

BERLIN MUST PAT. ,(TROM OUB OWN' CORRESPONDENT.)

LONDON. October 2.Mr Austen Chamberlain at Tonypandy:

"Berlin made the war, and Berlinmust pay for the war. At Berlin warbegan and at Berlin peace must bemade. When that peace is made, ourGovernment, not the Government of aparty, but a Government that speaksfor the nation, must t>e ablo to speakwith a -weight and authority in thecouncils ot Jillrone befitting our posi-|tion in the world," the great heritage[that -we have received from our fathers1and the great traditions and positionthat wo wish to bequeath to our sons.We aro meeting not in a boa-stfui spirit,but with a stern resolve and with con-fidence, in a just cause. Would wo bemeeting so if we had held aloof fromthis great struggle? Would wo havebeen able to look one another in theface if wo had stood aside and saidthat 'our interests are not immediatelyconcerned; lot otiiers light. Wo willdo the trade pf tho worui.' No English-man or Welshman whoso business takeshim abroad would have ever had aliappy life if that had been co. Ourfair fume would have been blackened,our honour besmirched, and no matter"who the victor in tho etrugglo hadbeon, sooner or later to should havepaid tho price."

known as "Eanji"). in his capital:"Tho call of duty has come to fche

HUMANITY, JUSTICE, 'ANDFREEDOM.

Sir Wilmot Herringham, Vice-Chan-cellor of tho University of Lon-don : '

■ "Are wo not fighting that weakpeoples shall not bo trodden underfoot,that there be some such, thing asnational faith, and that war, when- itmust como, shall be conducted with aslittlo misery and cruelty as possible?Is not our enemy maintaining the op-posito of all these things? Has he notsaid that national obligations can bo

Itorn up, and that war justifies everybarbarity and every outrage? Lot usnot make the mistake of belittling the

Igreat German race. It is a great na-Ition, whose industry, accuracy, andJlove of learniing are a lesson to usand all the world;.a nation which, hasgiven immensely to knowledge, andwhose simple, genial, kindly life, thelife of the real German, is a lovely andbeautiful thing. But of late yearsthey have been going through thetemptation, the greatest for nations asfor men, of great riches and ■ greatpouter. We, above all other nations,we, therace that sneaks English, whe-ther on this side of the Atlantic or onthatj have fought and died and strug-gled for humanity, for justice, and forfreedom. If these ideals are true, ifthat is the meaning, as I believe, ofprogress and history and whatcan we do less than follow in the pathour forefathers trod?"

If we' keep of one mindand a cheerful countenance, all isbound to come well in tiie end."LORD ROBERTS ON OUR DUTY..

Field-Marshal Lord Roberts in "Hib-bert Journal" :''In this great struggle we are flight-ing as men determined to. uphold theobligations of honour, as stout cham-

pions of small nationalities, and as apeople resolved to carry on a great taskcommitted to us by Provideuco. If allthese considerations fail to reach theconscience and the mind of any Briton,I havo yet one more plea to urge, viz.,that in this great conflict democracy ison its trial. This is a war between theideals of political progress and those ofreaction.' ... The working classes ofthe United Kingdom have only recentlygained their power; the great questionat this crisis is: How will they use it? Iwould ask my fellow-countrymen notto bo led away by thoso who say thatthe end of this great struggle is to l>ethe cr.d of war, and that it is boundto lead to.a. great reduction of arma-ments. There is nothing in the his-tory of the world to justify any such jconclusion. . . . Do not let us pay any!attention to the foolish prattle of'thosewho talk of this war as the 'doom ofconscription.' If the system of univer-sal service has placed "a powerful wea-pon in the hands of t.Jfe Kaiser and hisadvisers, and they have made a baduse of it, we must also remember thata similar system has enabled Republi-can France to speak with her enemiesin *J?e sate, and the v.zar of Russia tosummon Ms hosts even from the bor-ders of Mongolia. It is true that theGerman -nation in arms,' founded fortho noble purpose of freeing Prussiafrom the yoke of Napoleon, has beenjrrosslv misused. Hut tho remedy forthat is not 50 much the destruction ofa jnst and honourable institution as thereform of the ])olitical system- of Prus-sia, and the transference of more powerto the Prussian people. Let us not un-derestimate the power of the ereafc na-tion of sixty-six million German peo-pio who have entered upon this war intho firm belief that they are bound towin.. I cannot thinking that thesrrent task of subduing that nation willbejrin when we, with our French. Rus-"sian. and Belgian Allies, have driven

tho German armies into the heart oftheir own territory."• AIRCRAFT'S ACHIEVEMENTS.Mr Graham White, in the "Fort-

nightly"-:*<One fact certainly this campaign

must emphasise, and that is the ail-weather capabilities of a modern air-craft. Mist or fog trouble the flyingscout, but no wind, save a gale, canchain them to tho grouna. . . . Sir JohnFrench has declared that tho Britishpilots did not hesitate to fly 'in everykind of weather. , . , . Bomb-droppingfrom tho air. owing to its spectacularaspects, receives always the fullestmention in tho Press; hence, so far asthe public is concerned, an undue im-portance may be attributed to thisform of attack. But. its actual effect-iveness has yet to be proved; and thiswar can hardly settle the question onoway or the other. . . . There are ques-tions of tactics which exports nevercease to discuss, and ono is fighting inthe air between hostile flying"craft. Inthis regard, at any rate3 as far as thepresent- war is concerned, nothing moreserious is likely to be chronicled than asuccession of isolated duels. The day isstill far distant upon which, meetingeach other in the shoes of a heavy andgeneral conflict, two air fleets will bat-tle for supremacy."

HOLLAND'S OPPORTUNITY.Mr Demetrius C. Boulger, in the

"Fortnightly": «"Promptly secured, Ihitch co-opera-

tion with tiie Allies would ensure thesecurity of Antwerp, which is not asperfect ac is generally supposed, and,at the same time, it would opeji outtho way for striking a blow at t-ne mostvulnerable point of Western Germany.In plain words, Holland ' has thechance of rendering the Allies a servicefar in excess of her military resources.If she decided on action at the presentmoment she would contribute materi-ally to tho shortening of the war, andthus render a sterling service that allwould appreciate. But tho opportun-ity may easily dip by. Antwerp maypass through the peril that besets her;the Germans may be driven back totheir own territory. When ft©, tide ofsuccess has turned definitely againstthe provokers of this European strife,then the co-operation of Holland -willseem of littlo moment and value. Now,and not at a later stage, is the timefor Holland to strike in with the great-est use .to the Allies, and with thegreatest reward to herself. . . . The in-vestment of Antwerp by the Germanscan be prevented by British and otherallied forces having a free, unob-structed way np the Scheldt It canorevented by the active interventionof Holland in tho war.

HOARDING MONEY.TIMOROUS AMERICANS

(from omt own coreespoxdent.)SAN FRANCISCO, September 13.

The hoarding of money by banks,corporations and individuals, and thecharging of exorbitant rates of interestsince the war in Europe started, ischarged by Secretary of the TreasuryMcAdoo. In Ms statement coveringthe jnatter, Mr McAdoo named 247banks operating under Federal dhar-ters, in all sections of the country. Henot..only them of hoarding,money, and severely criticises themtherefor, but is refusing to deposit Go-vernment money in these institutions.Moreover, he has already withdrawnsome £600,000 of Government depositsfrom Kuch banks and deposited it withother banks that have not been guiltyof offending. Undoubtedy the warsituation has disturbed many timorouspeople, and during the week after theoutbreak of hostilities scores withdrewtheir deposits from savings and otherbanks and placed them in safe depositvaults. A continuance of such tacticswould of course cause another panic,probably worse than that of 1907,and itfis to prevent such a contingency thatSecretary -MeAdoo is expressing himselfso freely about and their de-positors. "There is no reason," hestates, "why people should not* depositin the banks in the usual way, and withabsolute confidence, and there is no rea-son why business should not be con-ducted in the normal way It is justreprehensible for corporations andimu ;duals to hoard money as it is forthe i);;nks to do so." • As an instance ofa frightened bank hoarding money, thecase of a New York institution in aprosperous manufacturing communityis cited. This bank has cash on handamounting to 61 per cent, of its de-posits. The establishmment of the re-serve bank system, now in course ofinauguration, will probably put an endto the evil Secretary McAdoo decries.Tho individual"banks then will have tholesson of standing" together instead ofeach trying to protect itself at tho ex-pense of tho others. It will be impos-sible for them to draw down their re-serves in a panic, and the danger ofruns by banks rather than by privatedepositors, will be removed.

tho shipping companies to demand pay-ment of freight on exports at the portof shipment, and in view of the factthat a 25 per cent, surcharge on car-goes other than butter, cheese, andmeat, to cover contingencies due to thewar. has already been made, Mr J. G.Wilson, Dominion president of the NewZealand Farmers' L'djoii, has tele-graphed to tho Prime Minister as fol-lows:—"I desire to strongly proteston behalf of farmers against unreason-able attitude of shipping companiescharging freight at port of shipment,in addition to 23 per cent, surchargoon cenoral cargo. Look to you on farm-ers' behalf to insist \ipon withdrawalfrom the position. It means large addi-tional cost on all produce."

THE GENERALELECTION.

SPEECH BY PEIME MIISISTER.

MR. MASSEY ATPAPAKURA.

THE 'VYOKK OF THEGOVERNMENT.

A SPLENDID RECORD.

(PEESS ASSOCIATION' TELECIIAM.)PAPAKURA, November 9.

The Prime Minister opened the poli-tical campaign hero this evening, whenho addressed a largo and representativemeeting in the Panakura Town Hall.Mr A. "Willis, chairman of,the TownBoard, presided. Seating accommoda-tion was overtaxed, and many of thosepresent had to bo content with stand-ing room. Many were also standingoutside tho door.

Mr Massey was accorded a very en-thusiastic reception and hearing. Onentering tho hall he was received withloud and continued applause. As heroso to speak he was greeted withcheers and renewed applause.

Mr Massey, in his opening remarks,(said that it was now just twenty-oneyears sinco ho first- visited Papakuraon political business. It was noweighteen years sinco ho was first oleet-odas member for Franklin, and ho hopedto have the honour of representingthe district for another eighteen years.(Hear, hear.) Ho was not there thatevening for tho purpose of making whatmight be called a fighting speech. Hemight have occasion later on in thecampaign to take the gloves off, andwhen tho occasion arose- to take themoff, he would not hesitate to do so.He intended on tho present occasion togive" them somo information as to thework that had been carried out bythe present Government.DIFFICULTIES THAT BESET THE

GOVERNMENT.During tho past two and a half years,

said Mr Massey, no Government thathad ever held office in Now Zealandhad so many difficulties -to contend withas tho present Government had had.(Hear, hear.) He was not complainingof this, as these difficulties, liko allothers, had a knack of disappearingwhen they were firmly grappled with.This was tho experience of tho Govern-ment in handling the many difficultiesthat had confronted them. The firstdifficulty that the Government had toface was tho unsatisfactory condition ofthe country's finances. When thoycame into office the outlook was bad,and money was scarce and dear. Thiswas not the only trouble at that time,as there were industrial troubles to face.When the Government assumed controlof the Dominion's affairs the Waihi andR-eefton strikes were in progress. ThoReefton strike was soon settled, butthat at Waihi lasted for a long time.However, thoy got over that.

THE SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.Their next trouble was the so-called

smallpox epidemic among tho Maorislast year. He did not know whether itwas smallpox or not, but the effect thatit had upon the finances and trade ofthe country was scarcely credible. Noone could over tell to what extent therevenue of the railways and other de-partments was really affected by theepidemic. The outbreak also had abad effect on the settlement of Nativelands, as it necessitated the prohibitionof meetings of assembled owners inconnexion with Native land transac-tions. However, in course of time theygot rid of tho epidemic, but no soonerwere they free of that, than,they weruconfronted with the big strike of 1913.

OUTBREAK OF THE WAR.As soon as the Dominion was gettingover the effect of the strike, the Euro-pean war came oh them like a thunder-

clap. The population at first was al-most stunned by the outbreak of thegreat conflict, but it had got over theeffect of the shock and the business oftho country was now being carried onas usual. Referring to New Zealand'sshare in the war, Mr Massey-said NewZealand soldiers had been the first tooccupy the enemy's territory. (Ap-plause.) The taking of Samoa hadbeen a blood-less victory, but it had notbeen taken without a great deal of riskand danger. After the First Expedi-tionary Force had gone to Samoa theGovernment had commenced to organisethe big Expeditionary Force. Fewpeople realised" the enormous amountof work involved in this organisation.However, i+ had been accomplished,and it was an open secret now thatNew Zealand's second Exi>editionarvForce of 9000 troops was now on itsway to fight for the flag and for theEmpire, and ho was satisfied that themen would givo a good account of them-selves when they reached the scene ofoperations. (Cheers.) In fiphtinjr forthe Empire thoy were fighting for them-selves, because prior to +he declarationof war it had been stated by Germanofficers that in the event of hostilitiesGermany would,take possession of NewZealand and Australia, which would

German colonies. (A voice:"Rot!")

Mr Ma-ssey: "J think so too." TheBritish Navy and Army would have agood deal to say before" that happened.

GOOD BUSINESS RECOVERY.Proceeding, tho Prime Minister said

that at the outbreak of tho war,businesshad been paralysed, but now it wasback to normal. • There was at first agreat cry of unemployment, but eventhat had almost come to an end. Therewere very few unemployed now. (Ap-plause.) So far as the Governmentwere concerned, he honed and believedthey would be ablo to keep thepublic works going. They had moremen on now than for years past, andhe believed they would be able to keepthis up. In that respect New Zealandwas much better off than some of tjheother Dominions. In New SouthWales, according to official returns,there were thousands of men on public■works only working three- days a week,and ho sincerely hoped and believednothing like that would ever take placein this country. (Applause). Loanmoney was much moro difficult to ob-tain than it was before the war, but howas hopeful of being ablo, later, on, toobtain enough for requirements and togo on quietly.

DEMAND FOR PRDIARYPRODUCTS.

The outlook for our primary productshad never been better than at present,and there was a tremendous demand forNew Zealand meat, butter, wool, andevery other product which this countrywas in the habit, of sending away.There had been difficulties in connexionwith the kauri gum and flax industries.Tho former had, however, to a certainextent revived, though the price wasnot yet what it was before tho war.The Government had arranged in caseof gum being unsaleable and. of gum-

diggers wishing to go on digging thegum, to advajico a portion of tho valueat "which it stood prior io the' war.(Applause). As a result there was nochance now of gum-diggers swelling theranks of the unemployed. He wouldliko to dojtho same for the flax indus-try, but it "was much more difficult tohandle and to manage.

GOVERNMENT'S OTHERARRANGEMENTS.

Referring to other arrangementswhich the Government had had to makeowing to tho war, Mr Mr.ssey mentionedtho moratorium tew, which had beenpassed to obviate panic. Prior to thewar tho greater part of New Zealandproduce had been carried in insulatedships. There had been a tremendousdemand on these ships for tho transport-lof soldiers from Australia and NewZealand, and for Britain's own use, andthis had created an awkward situation.

I However, he was satisiicd now thatowing to tho arrangement by tho Go-vernment there iron Id by sufficient shipsto take away the wholo of tho country'sproduce for export up to the end ofJanuary. (Applause). All being well,tho New Zealand transports would beback hero in February next. Ho hadArranged with the Imperial Governmentto send those vessels back without de-lay, and if necessary the New ZealandGovernment would pay for their ieiu>nin ballast, if necessary, rather than r.l-low tho industries of iho country to behampered. (Applause).

Mr .Mass?y went on to outline whathad been done to provicio New Zealand',with wheat si ml flour.. In tlmt con-nexion bo said that in addition to the'quarter of a million bushels order<yi momiCanada, ho had been in negotiation jwith the Government of India for .1!similar quantity from there. That dayho had tele.craphcd to Wellington, giv-ing instructions for a shinment of100.C00 bushels of wheat to be orderedfrom ImTiu by way of experiment.

REGULATION OF PRICES.In referring to the Food Commission,

Mr tiu:a -i wat, *><;& up not voiutonefe witji uaae, dug to pi event taeexploitation of tuo people. lie iiauasKed tho Coimaisoiou to investigatesugar prices. Tiio Commission nau re-porutu uiab the Colonial buyar Com-pany Jiau offered, to gu'«j amat tho price of sugar shoiua not gobeyond a reasonable price as comparedwith the price in other countries. "JLiieonly provision was wiat tlio Govern-ment should not take over the sugarworks.

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT6CIi.ii.UE.

Dealing with thy railway ' proposalsof tlio new General Manager, MrHiley, tho Prime Minister said uiat lastseason Iho Government had' beo:ideluged with, complaints from all overNew Zealand regarding insufficientroiling stock. In Mr iUassey's opin-ion, tlio Dominion was shorter of en-gines than anything else. In Auck-land the accommodation for passengertraffic was bad enough, but it was lniiesahead of the provision for the handlingof goods, which was shocking. Wel-lington was probably worse. The rail-way business in Auckland had doubledin the last eight years, and in all prob-ability would double jjgain in the nesteight years. Ho believed in formingbranch and trunk railways, but if it wasimpossible to handle the goods a 1? thetermini, they would soon be in diffi-culties. It was astonishing theamountof opposition Mr Hiley's scheme hadaroused. On the division, however,only twenty members of the House hadhad the courage of their opinions, andhad voted against the Bill. It wasnow the law of the land.

A Voice: What about Arthur Myers?Mr Massey: Oh, I am not the keeperof Mr Myers's conscience.GOOD, COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.Mr Massey said that before the out-

break of tho "war the Dominion was ina particularly prosperous condition, andduring the two years that thevpreseatGovernment had been in office the ex-ports had increased by no less tha.n fivemillion pounds' worth. . When the warcame to an-end, ho believed that NewZealand, "with her. enormous resources,her good climate, tho industry of her

Ipopulation,, and her many natural ad-vantages, would recover from theeffects of the war more rapidly thanany other portion of tho British Em-pire. (Applause.)PROBLEM OF NAVAL DEFENCE.The .Prime Minister ihen referred tothe question of naval defence, which he

eaid should not be treated as a partyquestion.'. What had taken place dur-ing the" last few weeks had convincedthe btfflk of the population that NewZeala-nd should do a great deal morein regard to. naval defence than it wasnow doing. (Hear, hear.) Hβ re-ferred to what had taken place at Pa-peete, and said that this might havehappened to any of the towns on theeeaboard of New Zealand. Hβ re-ferred to the non-compliance, eitherthrough inability or 'unwillingness, onthe part of the Home Government..withthe naval agreement entered into in1909, and said that although the pro-eent Government had offered to in-crease the annual subsidy by £50,000if tho Imperial authorities would carryout tho agreement, the offer did nothave tho desired effect. During thefirst few weeks of tho war New Zealandhad been greatly indebted to tho Aus-tralian Navy for its valuable serviceto New Zealand in particular, and thoEmpire in general. (Applause.) Hebelieved that we were now out of thewood so far as tho danger of immediateattack by sea was concerned, but 'reshould profit by the experience of thepast few weeks. ' It would be criminalto allow the present ,state of things tocontinue. He was not going to quibbleas to whether the ships should bo Im-nerial-ow—2(l or New, Zealand-owned,-but tho position must be faced. Themembers of the present Governmentduring tho past few weeks had hadtremendous responsibilities on theirshouldera, and he, for one, would notcare to go through the same experienceagain. He repeated his previous refer-nncp to the debt of gratitude that NewZealand owed to theAustralian Govern-ment for the protection that this coun-try had received from the ships of theCommonwealth Navy during the pastfew months. (Hear, hear.)

THE NE*V EDUCATION ACT..In speaking of the Education Act

passed laet session, Mr Massey said thatthe object of tho Minister of*Educationand the Government in intro-ducing this measure was thatNew Zealand should become- one

[of tho best-educated countries inIthe world. (Hear, hear.) This wasnecessary if New Zealand was to holdher own in competition with the othercountries of the world. In the pastthere had been a reluctance on the partof their young men to take up theteaching profession, but the bettermentin "the condition of tho teachers whichhad been brought about by the new Actwould remove this reluctanco and im-prove tho lot of the teachers.

THE GOVERNMENT'S PLEDGES.Mr Massey then dealt with the

charges made by tho Opposition, thatthe present Government hud not keptits election pledges. He pointed outthat except in two instances nil pledgeshad been kept. In the first place theGovernment had pledged itself to keepborrowing within reasonable bounds,and to prevent wasteful expenditure.This pledge had been kept. The Go-vernment had also pledged itself tocarry out a freehold land policy, andthis pledgo had also been kept. Thepresent Government had provided set-tlers with all reasonable facilities forgetting on the land on a satisfactorytenure. The pledge in regard to tholimitation of holdings had also beenkept.

A voice: What about tho advances tosettlers? Did you not vote againstthat?

3lr Jfassey: I did for the very goodreason that I was pledged to votengainst borrowing in any shape or form.N hen I went- back to my constituentsand told them what I had done, theysaid: "Well done, good and faithfulservant. ' (Laughter and applause).

NATIVE LAXD LEGISLATION*.The Government had also, JlrMassey

continued, kept its pledges in regardto native land administration. Its aimwas to place the Natives in tbo saraoposition ;,s tho Europeans, with thosame privileges nnd responsibilities, andthat what they were doing. Theywanted to make tbo Natives good citi-zens of tho Empire. The Maoris werotaking tip the responsibilities of Empireand o'JO of them wero nowbeing trainedfor service :is soldiers. In this connex-ion ho was glad to say that tho ImperialGovernment now consented to allow thowhole 500 to go to tho one destinationinstead of dividing them, as at lirst in-tended.

OTHER PROMISES KEPT,Among other pledges kept, ho con-

tfnuod, was that to reform the Legis-lative Council by making it elective, liebelieve-.i that , the system of electionprovided tor iconic! prove more suitablethan tho Australian system. T.he pledgein regard to Public Service reform hadalso been kept. The Governmetrt hadpromised to provide for a reform of tbosystem of local governmentby an abcli-tion of the present method of Parlia-mentary grants, and a Bill to tin's ef-fect hail been introduced last session.Owing, however, to the delay occasionedby the war. it had been necessary to al-low the-Bill to stand over, but he hopedit would bo passed next session. In re-gard to town-planning, the Governmenthnd provided for all that was neces-sary, and he looked forward to doingsomething in this direction with thoOrakei estate that would bo a credit totho Dominion. The pledges in regardto amendments to the pension schemes,including the reduction of the qualify-ing ac;o of women from 65 to 60, hadbeen fulfilled. The pledge in regard t-ocompulsory insurance against sicknessand unemployment had not been yetfulfilled, because tho Government de-sired to see the scheme introduced in.Great Britain have a fair trial. TheGovernment was also pledged to bringabout industrial poace, and it had gonea long way towards doing-that by pro-viding that no strike should take place-without a secrot ballot being takenunder the supervision of Governmentofficers. (Hear, hear).

Thus all pledges except two had beenkept. It was not reasonable to expectthat during the short term of on© Par-liament much more would have beendono than to lay the foundation stoneof a policy, but tho Government haddone much more than that.iilause.)

LAND SETTLEMENT RECORD.It had been stated by one member

of Parliament the other day that thepresent Government had not put asingle settler on tho. land. (Laughter.)To show how incorrect this was hoquoted from a departmental returnshowing that from July' Ist, 1912, toSeptember 30th, 1914,2964 settlers hadtaken up land on settlement conditionsand that, pastoral runs and miscel-laneous tenures accounted for 1595more, making a total of 4559. In addi-tion, 289 persons had taken up endow-ment land leases. The total area ofland opened for Bale, or selection fromJuly, 1912, to October 31st, 1924, wasno less than 1,447,894 acrea: (Ap-plause.)

In its first session the Governmenthad provided for an increase of thegraduated land tax on all- estates ofthe value of £30,000 and over. Thegood effect of this was becoming ap-parent in the number of subdivisions.From the Ist of Anrfl, 1912, to June30th, 1914, the total number of sub-divisions of rural land and land madeavailable for closer settlement was Gl9O,representing 1,125,678 acres. .Ten es-tates had been acquired for closersettlement. Altogether during the timethe Government had been in office.1,943,763 acres in both privately-ownedLand and .Crown lands had been sub-divided and settled. During the year1913-14 the area acquired by the Go-vernment, for settlement was 141,062acres as against only 13,399 acres in1910-11, 'during the regime of the lateGovernment. The total number of theselectors who had purchased the feesimple of their leases under the Actepassed by the Massey Government was14! the total area involved being262.792 acres, whilst the sum naid was£236,958. (Applause.)

REFORM GOVERNMENT'SACHIEVEMENTS.

The Prime Minister went on to referto the eettiug-up of the Commission toenquire into the working of the Valua-ton Department. What the Govern-men sought was taxation on fair valua-tion of property, exempting the im-provements. If it was found that thiswas not being done,now, he would takecare, if he was-returned to power, thati<; was done in the future. (Applause.)Since the Reform Government, cameinto office they had set up a system ofworkers' rural homes. Some of thesewere in occupation, and in many casesthe occupiers were doing well. In allthere were four settlements in hand-two in the North, and two in.the SouthIsland. " , ■

Referring to local bodies, Mr Masseysaid it was proposed next year to givemunicipalities and counties the oppor-tunity of borrowing from the State forthe purpose of workers' homes. Theprevious Government had in cix and aquarter years erected 209 workers,homes at a. cost of £146,622; the pre-sent Government by the end of thefinancial year, March 31st next, wouldhave erected 345 workers' homes in twoand three-quarter years, at an expendi-ture of £101,632. As in the case ofland eottlement, therefore, ho thoughthis Government's record was a particu-larly good one. (Applause.) The pre-sent Government had naid for Nativeland in 1913 the sum of £61,020, andin 1914 £257,711.

NEXT MONTH'S LIABILITIES.Tho Prime Minister proceeded todeal with the financial position, ehow-

ing how tho Government had improvedit sinco they came into power. Nextmonth, ho said, tho Government had tofind £3,000,000 to pay to creditors inLondon , who would neither convert norrenow their loans.

A Voice: We'll iind it.Mr Massey: "Wo hare founcj it."

Theso lenders wero speculators, whowanted to forco tho Xew Zealand Go-vernment, into tho open market, butthey were not going to bo forced intothe open market. Ho could not tellthem yet where the Government had gotit, but they had got the money, and thoLondon creditors would bo paid that£3,000,000 on tho due dato next month.(Applause).

Keferenco followed to the Govern-ment's action in raising the limits oftho borrowing powers of settlers. Ow-ing to the war theso had had to be cutdown, bu'fc from now onward tho limitto settlers would bo £750. and Jie be-lieved that in a few weeks it would bepossiblo to raise tho limit to £1000.(Applause). ;AMOUNT LENT BY'GOVERNMENT.

In tho seven months from April 7thlast, the Government Advances Depart-ment had lent to eottlers the sum of£833,570, to workers £223,730, and tolocal authorities £135,325. In additionthere were sums advanced by the Pub-lic Trustee and tho Government Insur-ance office.

Tho Prime Minister then briefly re-viewed his Government's legfelation forthe workers, mentioning jthe mtreaso ofi'l£o,ooo per annum in wages to rail-way servants, and of £%000 to publicservants. '

CANTERBURYJOCKEY CLUB.

METROPOLITANMEETING.

DJEBBY DAY.

The Canterbury Jockey Clobcontinuedits Meeting under favourable condi-tions,though many found tho nor'-westweather somewhat oppressive. ThereIras again a very good,attendance, not,however, so largo as usual perhaps intho outside enclosure. The racing wa3excellent,- some of the finishes beingparticularly close, the public iv thostands being in doubt until tho nam-bers were hoisted. The course .vas fastand tlio nverago size of tho fields verygood. The starting on the whole -rrasvery satisfactory, though an odd horseor two did not gefc away as well nscould have boon wished. Tho sum of£07,G92 10s was handled at the totalisa-tors. as against £30,025 last year, theincrease thus being £IC*37 10s.

Tho Jlidcllcton Hurdlo Handicapdrew together a half-dozen competitors,Corrio, Sunbeam and Glenorchy beicj*so evenly supported that they wouldall have paid about the same dividend,but this time Ngatiruanui was on hisbest behaviour, and was the first overiho initial hurdle, and. with Cantor-bury and Sunbeam handy, raced out- ofthe straight. Sunbeam joined N'ra-tiruanui along the back, Corrie a longway in tho rear. Ngatiruanui led six fur-longs from homo, and rati homo a goodwinner, but Come carried "her importwell,and heading Sunbeam after jump-ing the last hnrdlo got. second place.The time was fast. field ofseventeen lined up for tho CriterionHandicap, and it proved a cood betHn*race, Sauci, Chortle, Martius, Ber-trada, First Glance, Postillion and Au-tumnus beinc; the most fancied in or-der. A splendid start was effected,Pavlova making tho paoo. with Down-ham, Chudic, Autummis and Shaki totho straight, where Postillion wae rac-ing on tho outside. Chortle and FirstGlance coming through from behind.A rattling good race ensued. Autura-nus and ChortJo both heading Pavolva,the first-named winning handily byquite a length. Pavlova was morethan that away, with Downhaiu, FirstGlance, and Sauci at shorter intervals.Tho time, lmin 20 4-oth sec, was fast.Autumnus. though he had boon lameoff and on, put up a. really good per-formance, but the disappointing horseof the race was Postillion, who. appar-ently likes something easier, and fade-elright cut from below tho distance.Autumuus has better form to recom-mend him than Chortle, and is a,yearolder, and they were at tho sameweights, but the last-named was carry-ing moro than twice the money thoKitcartonian was entrusted with, as hehas a largo following from the North.Autumnus is, probably never quitestrung tin on account of his infirmitiesor might accomplish etill greater things.

Sir T. H. Lowry's Desert Gold wasmade a littlo better favourite for theIrweli Handicap than Sir George Clif-fords pair Holiday and Flying. Start,"Wishful carrying tho colours of MrG. L. Stead, and a nice-looking coltbciup nest in request, Hyla, the Hon.J. D. Ormo'nd's representative, andSnub, one of Mr C. G. Dal£oty's, beingnest-in. order of support. ?Jr A. W.Rutherford's Birkenhcad filly Saraisenan outsider, showed a lot of pace,and led well down tho straight, butFlying Start (full-brother to First-Flight), and Desert. Gold, caught herin the last half furlong. Wishful fin-ished well and got fourth. The iimoequalled tho Welcome Stakes go, andDesert Gold, though beaten, ran rightup to her .performance in that event.

Each of iiie horses whieli' composedtho nice field of half-a-dozen whichcame into" tho paddoch and birdcagefor tho most valuab'.o .New ZealandDerby that - has ever been run/ waseagerly scanned. The pair that reallylooked tho best wc-ro Reputation andBalboa, but First Flight stripped well,Ruigforni and Camulus bofe n seasonedappearance,* and no fault could befound with tho condition of Roumania.The preliminaries in the straight over,each of the horsemen dismounted, andled his horso about until tho wofd wasgiven to mount, and without much lossof time Mr Wood caught them as thoylined at the tape at'tho very first at-temot, with the result that they broKOaway well in line. First Flight, Ring-form, and Reputation was the order asthey raced past Cutfcs's with a quarterof a mile gone, Camulus bringing uptho rear. This was tho order to thoend of the first half-mile, whereRingform headed First Flight,and. Reputation ranged along-side the last named. but thepair headed Ringform a little further.on, and the othorg came on, and at thosis furlong post, and at the fi-ro fur-long mark the six competitors werebunched together. A little later Repu-tation ehot out clear in front with alength and a half to spare. Enteringthe straight, Reputation was still lead-ing and going well, • and First Flight,under pressure, went up and joinedhim, they ran together to a fur-long and. a half from, home. At thodistasce Balboa was a couple of lengthsbehind. Thon First Flight appearedto go in on Reputation, who droppedback, and Balboa shot up on the out-side, and took charge. First- Flighthanging on to tho rails. Reputation waspulled out, and finishing with a goodrun, "was fast closing up again, f.ndgot to First Flight's throat latch asthey crossed tho line, but could notreach Balboa s who was all out towin by a length and a half, Ringformtwo lengths away, followed by Camu-lus and Roumauia. The various stagesof tho journey quarter27sec, three furlongs- 41sec, half mile55Jsec, five furlongs lmin Bjsec, sixfurlongs lmin 2VJsec, r.iile lmin -io1oth sco, full distanco 2min 35 2-och.sec. Reputation was an . odds onfavourite, carrying more than half theinvestments. First Flight was next infavour, and theri camo Balboa at agood price for a third fancy. Ringform,Camulus, and Roumania followed inorder iv the matter of investments. Anenquiry was held by the stewards intothe interference on , the part ofFirst Flight, with Reputation,with the result that Reputation wasplaced second and First Flight third,in accordance with conrer vested inthem under the Rules, this being thesecond occasion upon which the rulehas been onforced since it was adoptedover twelve months ago. Without inany way detracting from the merit ofBalboa's win, we should not care toaccept the result as conclusive of thesuperiority of the eon of Varco. Thonext meeting of the trio will be full ofinterest.

Tho Juvenile Plate had ten runners,seven throe-year-olds and three two-year-olds. Sweet Corn, who had run se-cond in tho Gimcrack Stakes at R&ncl-wick, was made a little better favouritethan Bimet<?r, the pair carrying halfthe money on the machine betweenthem. Beo and Hvmettius were nextin demand, Tete-a-tete being the fifthfancy. A good start was effected, thoughHymettius lost ground by run-ning right across tho back of the field.Approaching the home bend, Chofewana,Tete-a-tete, and Biraeter -were just clearof a -well-bunched field, andTeto-a-t«to showing most pace hada bit the best of the Malster colt, andwon by about half a length, Bee, Chak-wana, Dinner Gong, and Sweet Cornbeing tee next to finish, all well up-That they were going fast tho time---1.0 4-otns—-shpw-s. Mr Lowrv's luckwas iff again, and it was that gentle- imat's nrst p«rby that Balboa ivon,and ithe Hawito s /Bay sportsman was con-gratulated oq his dual success. Teto-a-

Tc-fce is a commanding half-aister toBobrikoff, and 13 being eerved by time,and may stay later on, as some of theRoyal Fusiliers aro doing frith age.Then came the Metropolitan Handicap,and a good deal of interest was infusedinto the event through the presence ofthe North Island pair, Bonny Helensad Sinapis, whoso fires appearance itwas. The public made fconuy Helenfavourite, Hyettus coining next in re-quest, and then Sinapie, Cainpeador,and Quarantine. The etart some-what spoiled through Rinaldo, Moutoa

iGirl, and Maniaroa being hardly readyI when the lever was raised. Hyettus,Slcan, and >iysteriarch made the paceancftho Hon. J. IX Onnond's geldingj shook ofi his attendants one after thoother as they came at him, and ho ledto tho distance, where tho pace ho hadset commenced to tell 011 him. andBonny Helen..

WAR OFFICESECRET.

MYSTERIOUS ENGINE OF

DESTRUCTION.

Securely hidden away iv tho British!War Ofiico is tho most terrible plan inexistenco for tho waging of war on landand sea (says tho London correspon-dent of tho "Capo Times"). "VVero thoGermans in possession of tho dreadsecret they could carry every fortressin Europe, swoep tho armies of theAllies out oi existence, and dispose oftheir fleets in a similar way. GreatBritain alono possesses tho secret—itmay yet bo put into operation. Thooverwhelming and irresistible: nature ofthis plan has been admitted by succes-sive generations of British military ex-perts. In the language of its inven-tor, "no Power on earth could standagainst this attack," and it is thie veryterror and annihilation of tho schemewhich has prevented its uso by GreatBritain on moro than ono occasion.

Tho plan for attacking and destroy-ing au enemy's fleet and for other ir-resistible warlike operations was pro-pounded by tho famous Admiral Coch-rane, aftcnvards. Lord Ihindonald, in1811. Hb submitted it to his Govern-ment, who referred it to a oeoret com-mittee- to report on tho adrisahility ofits u&e against Napoleon. Tho com-Hiitfcoe- consisted of the Dnko of York,Cominandor-in-Chief of tho .Army, Ad-mirals Lord Keith and Lord Exinoutli.and tho brothers Congrovo of tlio Ord-nance. They found tho schemo to boall that Dundonakl claimed for it.- It-provided an irresistiblo and infalliblomeans of attack, but with co devastat-ing a fulness that they declared it in-human. Still, tho Government pro-posed to put a part of the- scheme intooperation against the fortress andfleet of Toulon Dundonald refused toundertake it on tho ground that totest ouly nart of it was uafair ; andmoreover that this minor experimentwould reveal tho whole plan for use byother countries. On the other hand,Dundonald offered to reduco Flushingat one blow, if he were allowed a freehand for tho operation of his schemeTho Governmaat hesitated to employ soannihilating a form of warfare, andfinally refused. But when Dundonaldentered the service of Chili in 1817, howas required to pledge his word thatho would not dinngo his plan, nor usoifc except on belmlf of England. Thatpromise I>undo&ald patriotically observ-ed, and forfeited his pay from Chili,Brazil, and- Peru rather than assent totheir requests that ho should uso hisoverwhelming secret to bring theirstruggle against Spain to an early andvictorious termination. But in 18-16,when the action of France raised alarmin England, Dundonald again urgedhis;plan upon tho Government. Again thoAdmiralty appointed a secret commit-tee of three officers to report upon it.On January 16th, 1846, thoy presentedtheir report, declaring that Lord Dun-donald's plan undoubtedlywould sweepout of ojastenco and destroy any hos-tile fon-0.-but that its first applicationwould reveal it to the.world. In addi-tion, tho terriblo destruction effectedby tho operations would bo opposed tocivilised war's principles. Twice duringtho Crimean struggle Dundonald putforward his scheme. On tho first occa-sion, the Government refused tho offeron the ground that his proposition wastoo terrible even for war. The follow-ing year lie offered to reduce Sebasto-pol and Cronstadt at a blow. The Go-vernment played with tho offer, andnsked Dundonald to instruct two en-gineer officers in the scheme. This hettemly refused,adding that ho woulddo it himself, and no other. ThoGovernment would not consent to thiscourse, and the matter dropped. Thus,wjth the conclusion of the Crimean"War. the matter fell through, and theterriblo plan still remains hidden anduntried in the archives of tho WarOffice. "Had it," declared Dundonajd,"been known to tho robels in the latoIndian Mutiny not a European in Indiawould have escaped." Again, in hisautobiography he wrote, "I repeat—and the assortion will one day be con-

!finned—that my plans now afford thoinfallible means of securing at onoblow cur maritime- superiority and ofthereafter maintaining it in perpetuity—of at once commencing and terminat-ing a war by one conclusive victory."That-these- loud declarations were nottho mere vainglorious outpourings oftho inventor is shown by Dundonald'elarge experience of war, and tho inde-pendent "opinion of two commissions ofmilitary experts who reported uponhis schemo at an interval of nearlyforty year*. Both committees reportedtha,t tho plan was feasible, infallible,and irresistible, confirming Dundon-ald'ft own declaration, that no fleet, for-tress, nor army couH -wilv,«.t:».TH tl>oattack. Only the appalling devastationof tho icliento prevented its operationby ttho (vjrorntaent against Xapoleon,and against Russia, a generation laterin the Crimea. With this humanesque&niishness was coupled the con-!iteration that its first operation wouldlevcal tho secret to the world and en-able any country to employ it againstBritain. Sut these two were the

reasons urc*>d by DuTKk»~°'dfor tho operation of his scheme. Howtar, if a!> all. modern invention, by

tho implements of war, hasstultified T)nndoT>ald's cannotbe jsaid, for it remains to-day, as. ever, aoinviolate secret of tuysterioiui powerand vague terror

j SPRING MEETING.

: CUP PEOSPECTS.i

Tlio Xcr- Zealand Metropolitan Trot-ting Club's Spring Meeting has nowboconu* a very important feature of tlio

t Carnival YTtvk attractions in Christ-{chureli, and the Mooting which oponsjto-day at- Addingion is tain;; eager-;lt looked lowanl to hx the very largoibody or troliir.c: emhnsiasts, as wellas by the general public. Judgingbypresent indications, this year's p;athr?r--iiiß will surpass ;ill previous records intho Tvsy of eroirds, for the racing iscertain to prove of exceptional interest,and visitors from other parts of tl»cDominion will be Riven very convincing

Iproof of lha hiph standard that hasI been reached by the- light harness sportlin Christehurch. The field? engagedjrepresent thebest class in the Dominionland, wiih a number of Australianhorses competing as well, too gather-ing will have au added interest. TheAddington eour&o and its surround-ings are at present in beautiful order,and tho times that have been register-ed during*the training operations showthat the track has been put in first-class condition.

Tho chief feature of to-day's pro-gramme is. of course, the race for the

INew Zealand Cup. which carries astake of 2boo soys, tho largest yet com-peted for in the Dominion, and in addi-tion tho owner of tho winner will re- jceivo a very handsome silver cup, pro- jsented by tlio Hon. C. Loui&son. pro- jsident of the Club. Tho final pay- !ments reduced tho field for tflis event,to fifteon, and a field of at least tour-!teen may bo looked for. j

Tho Australian champion. Denver jHuon, figures on the scratch mark,and. even though tho task set him is ja sovore one, his form in New Zealandlast season showed him to bo a horseof extreme, brilliance a.s well as stam-ina. Ho finished second to Ravens-child in last year's New Zealand Cup,won tho New Brighton Cup Free forAll. and at; Auckland, in an exhibitionI against time, put up an Australasianjrecord of J.2S 1-5 for two miles. An

i jnjury to one of his heels sustainedjjust before he left Sydney a: few weeks ago, interrupted hispreparation, but ho looks very -wellindeed, and his party aro confident howill run a great race. Emmelino'sperformances aro well-known to ail fol-lowers of the sport. At her best sheshowed horsclf to bo the finest marc yetbred in New Zealand, but for sometime past she has been racing without imuch luck, and it seems as if she haslost something of her old brilliancy.King Cole is the joint holder vrith Em-meline of tho Australasian record of2.S S-6 for ono mile. Ho ha s done noracing since last Norember, and. ashe has been giving his trainer someanxiety owingto troubles with his feetand other causes, it seems doubtful ifhe can reproduce his best form. AlbertH. won the Xew Zealand Cup two?ears aeo, and has a record of 4.33 fortwo miles. Last season he showed adisinclination for racing, but in hiswork this season ho has I>ocn goingmore kindly. Ravenschild. last year'swinner of the big raco, vras goius ex-ceedingly ■α-ell in his work last week,when he wasresponsible for thebest twomile performance on the track, his timebemg faster than his last year's win-ning record of 4.35 2-o. Yesterday itwas found necessary to eocuro - veteri-nary assistance, as Itavenschild -wassuffering from kidney trouble, but it ishoped that the ailment will proveonly temporary. Don Caear showedrerv marked improvement last season,and Ins brilliant performances in thoautumn placed him in thefront rank. Ho has all alongbeen ono of tho fancied can-didates for th0 big race, and thoughin the colder weather bo tvas troubledwith lamenees, probably due to muscu-lar rheumatism, ho liaa quit© sbakeuthis off now. Hie work has been of anattractive nature, and ho ha** kept nisplaco m the public favour, and seemscertain to retain ifc. Country Bello «a very speedy mare, but whether ehowill eeo out tho distance is open toquestion m view of her performancesat the close- of last season. Bright hasgot through a very sound preparation,and ho may bo reliod ou to run anhonest race. Adonis has a good recordof winning performances, which liaveshown him to bo fast and a good stayeras well, and if he begins well shouldbo found in the fighting line. Winboon was made favourite right fromthe appearance of tho handicaps, thisdespito tho fact that her preparationhas not been uninterrupted. She show-ed exceptional pace in August, when sboqualified for inclusion in tho big race,for then she got away badly .and hada lot of ground to make up over tholast half mile, but accomplished h»rtask liko a really good one. Sho iscertain to command a lot of support,and may go out favourite. Eccentric,Mandarene, Red Mac and Hotoc arc,to a certain extent, unknown quanti-ties, for the three firet-named arotrained away from headquarters, andHavoc comes from tho North lelaad,but according to reports, ho has comothrough a satisfactory preparation.Lady Clare has a previous Cup victoryto hor credit, but she hae been off thescene for some time, and her trainingdisplays havo been eomowhafc varied inquality.

FROZEN PRODUCELETTER.

ERA OF DEAR MEAT

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

{r&OU. OtTR SPT.CTAL CORRt^rONDEKT.)

LONDON, October 2.In spite of the severe limitation -of

tho output of frozen meat in" the ordi-nary channels of public consumption,owing to the effect of tho war on thefinancial resources of the masses, itmay be safely said that the great de-mand springing up for the victuallingof the British and French armies andnavies has taken the price of frozenmeat beyond the level at which it for-merly etood. "Will it ever return to

that level? For years prophets havebeen predicting dearer meat, but al-though rates hare climbed slowly up-ward, the extent of the prophecy wasnever fulfilled. New resources seemedto restore the balance and frozen mut-ton at 3i<l (Smithfield price) aninstitution which nothing coulQ breaKdown.IS THE CHANGE PERMANENT?Last year ye were told that Uj

would bo the last of cheap meat, thatat last demand had overtaken supply,and that in fnturo we must look for anappreciable rise in tho price of meat.True, the wholesale rates had tor sometime borno more heavily on the re-tailer, but tho latter had not beenable in all cases to pass it on to taopublic. But when 1914 eamo no start-line rise came with it. Meat was cer-tainly bought moro dearly in Australiaantl New Zealand, and let it here benoted that had the preat war noteventuated, many of those companieswhich had been big buyers of muttonearly on in the year would have hadtheir balances come out on tho wrongside nt the selling prices which thisvonr had produced. "We can now saywith our Ally's fjreat dramatist: "Nousfvons tout cela." ' The warhas made 3Jd mutton a thins; of thepast and forward trade, which is nowproceeding at something like _5Jd, is adea'ing which it is felt is quite justi-fied by circumstances. Market pricesof GJd for North Island lambs, s|d forNew Zealand mutton and 6Jd for NewZealand hinds, with s?d for fores, arerates that have not their equal in re-cf't times, but it is more importantstill tliat the future shows no "releasefrom them for the consumer, and thusthis entry into an era of dear meator>e"K "t> a whole host of new ideas andTK>j\sibili*>es. As I said in my lastletter, France havincr once tastedfrozen meat in Tw millions can neverleavo it, especially after licr own"attle resources haro been decimatedby war's f"~l< anrl Germany, who willvrnJvnhlv kill her last ounce of meat,will be for"*"! to 1»j"i even m-oro heav-ily on outside supplies. ,

SOME POSSIBILITIES.But now as to possibilities. Inci-

dently the rise in pneo must effectof a re 'valuation of. the

stock resources of all the sources ofproduction; wo find tho influenceworking already in unprecedentedprices, for instance, obtaining in salesof freezing cattle in Bouth America.However, that is a matter for stockraisers themselves. The leading ques-tion hero is how will the higher pricesaffect tho ultimate consumption offrozen meat. Already retail prices ofthis commodity have advanced 2dporlb, in many instances, or just doublethe rise in price of primehomo-killed meat. .It was oneof tho old problems of thofrozen meat trade that you mustalways beware of the swing of tho pen-dulum; a 3d market rise might bringdown consumption with a run and pun-ish you with more than equivalent re-action 'm tho wholesale market. Itis a moot point as to whether that•swing of the pendulum would occurnow. Market fluctuations will alwaysrule, but tvo hay© to consider that foran over-increasing class in Great Brit-ain and elsewhere it may soon be aQuestion of frozen meat or nothing.Knowing the firm prejudice of thesnobbish middle and lowed-middle class,I amconfident that it isonly dire neces-sity that will open out for frozen meata market among .better-class custom-ers, but the enquiries that I have beenmaking among shoos in select residen-tial neighbourhoods show one that thismoveiment has already begun, and itindicates that thousands of familieswho before would not look at frozenmeat aro now asking for it.

CANNED MEAT.At the present moment canned, meat

is receiving in proportion to the totaldimensions of that trade, an evengreater fillip than the frozen meatindustry. Tinned meat does not pro-perly come under tho title- of this col-umn, but a word or two concerning ithere is_ apropos because of its competi-tion with frozen meat just now. Forone thing I hear that several firms areas busy as can be tinning meat atBordeaux, though.,whether they arousing tho frozen nidat supplies recent-ly taken to that port and held in theharbour in refrigerated holds, I cannotsay. France hae not much cold stor-age accommodation, and the 8000 tonsof frozen meat she has received in thelast five weeks has had to be held inthe vessels carrying it there, a« well asfilling up the Marseilles and Parisstores. . This canned meat trade is as-suming very big proportions just now,the demand from tho various armiesbeing a tremendous one for tho 6mallo.rsize tins of one and two-pound capaci-ties which can be carried by the soldierin his equipment. Australians andAmerioans are both sharing in thistrade, and tho Armour Company is oneof the biggest, contractors, having se-cured a contract with Great Britainand France, I am told, for no less thana million pounds of canned beef. TheOudah.y Company has also a contractfor a yoar's output, so that the Ameri-cans are doing very well out of thowar, on canned meat alone.AMERICANS' SHARE IN BRITISH

MEAT CONTRACTS.As a matter of fact, the Americans

will _bo supplying probably the majorportion of the ten thousand tons of

! frozen beef n month ordered b\- theBrit.sh Government from the Argentineworks, ail tho chief South Americancompanies sharing in this, and Swift'sand Armour's bciti-i. of course, the big-gest operators. It w:is this BritishGovernment contract which helped theArgentine coinpan.es out of the holethey found themselves in at the startof the war. when tho collapse of creditaltogether stopped their operations fora while. Now they have the Bank ofEngland behind Uiem. By the way,one would have thought that at thistime of need, France's colony, Mada-gascar, would have been able to play agreater part than she has in support-ing her Mother Country with frozen

(meat, but, as a matter of"fact; no frozenmeat at all is going to France fromMadagascar, but tinned meat is beingprepared in large quantities, I under-stand, from the meat works owned byMessrs Vesiey at Majunga. At themoment, there is only one meat worksoperating in Madagascar, although wemay soon hear of one, if not two, otherfactories getting to work in differentparts of the island. j
