AUSTRIA BREAKING UP.j Chaos and confusion are said to exist:'' m.Royal circles m Austria. Tlie

ramshackle fabric of the HapsburgMonarchy is m .process of disintegra-tion. ' Confident with the disastrousdefeats of tbe Austro-Hungarian armiesnow being inflicted on the Italian fron-tier, the subject nationalities of tb.eDual Kingdom are rising, to assert theirrights' and to obtain the liberty theyhave longed for for many years. Theinsurrection is most pronounced atBuda Pest, the capital of Hungary,throughput Bohemia, and also m,Slav-'

;onia and Croatia, whilst m Poland alsothe disaffection is so pronounced thatthe Austrian military forces are beingwithdrawn'and the Poles are being toldthat they can fend for themselves. Thisis a notable triumph for the freedom:of subject nationalities. It was thecession to Ukrainia of the Khplm dis-trict of Russian Poland that first unitedthe Austrian Poles against the Govern-ment and brought about the triple oom-bination of Poles, -Czechs, and Jugo-»Slavs which is now so powerful that itis effecting the downfall of ". .thedynasty. But the revolt of the 'Aus-trianPoles goes much deeper than thatincident. It is due to the convictionnow awakened m all three sections ofPoland, that the reunion of the Polishnation, which has been proclaimed a.tVersailles as an Allied object rm&y beachieved if the Central -Powers arebeaten, and cannot be achieved if theywin. Sq the Poles are now declaringtheir independence, and the Austrianhierarchy, with the object of placatingthe. Allies and securing favorable peace-terms are evacuating Poland with thebest possible grace. The storm centre

(m Austria-Hungary at , the presentmoment seems to be Prague, the capitalof Bohemia. This province lies m thenorthernpart of Austria,"adjoining GerV" many, and"Prague is on the direct routefromBerlin to Viennal The Bohemians,therefore^ have been able to cut rail-road communications between the t\Vpcapitals, and there is no doubt thai, they are bringing a very powerful in-fluence tp bear upon the rulers of thetwo countries m the present crisis.The feeling of. the Gzecho-Slovaks maybe gauged by an interesting **statementmade a few* weeks ago by Edward.Benes,,a professor of the. University of;Prague) who. is general secretary to the.provisional Government of. the Czecho-slovaks*—the most romantic Govern-ment m the world, which has 'organisedseveral armies to fight the Germans,which maintains the closes^ relationswith the enslaved peoples m Bohemia,

jand has been steadily preparing for theI'.coup d'etat now accomplished.; ' t'Fi*om,1 :tj**e sixth century," said Professor;

Bpneg, .w:e Czechs m Bohemia,- were a, free peoplei we were ,a ;nationr- -wo-:-werecomplete and independent.' Ih thebeginning of the seventh century -began,guv oppression, "The.Germ^*;! b»rfeari t*\n

set himself, t<> destroy up. From thatday. for thirteen hundred yeavs. my i-people have fought the German. They thave never lost heart. They have vnever accepted the tyrant. Always 1;jthey ha.ye opposed to tlie Germantheir passion tor liberty and theirnational consriousiif.ss. In the six-teenth century this hitter struggle came 1to a climax. We w^va

— defeated, wiped ]out. annihilated. Nothing wa.s left ofus but a few peasants. Our aristocracy .was executed; our middle classes driven

'into exile; our working classes slaught- |ered. Nothing.was left but those few .peasants

—nothing. It was the destruc- !

tion of a nation. And on the northof those peasants there were Germans; <on the south. Germans: on the west, 1Germans; and on the east enemies just jas deadly to those peasants, the brutal IMagyars'. But our peasants had some-thing m their hearts no German could '

destroy. There* was no aristocracy toinspire them, no,middle-classes to lead :them; they were like sheep without vshepherd, v Ah, but listen! In thehearts of those peasants was the un-dying flame of freedom. Yes; and mtheir souls the undying fire of nationalconsciousness. They tilled ;the earth,the patiently earned their hard living,and m the homes the mother told herbabe of the days that were past and ofthe days that wouldsurely come again;

J and these, people, these poor peasants,with all, the might of the Germancrushing them to the earth, neverbowed to the tyrant, never accepted theCatholic Church, never despaired. The. mother sang to her baby the song ofyesterday and to-morrow. It is truer to say this; at the end of the 18th' century, the Czechs of Bohemia hadceased to exist as a nation;andyet,atthe beginning of the 19th century, that-nation began to rise from the dead.From 1840 began the passionate modernlife of this arisen nation. The revolu-tion m France burst the doors of itf"" sepulchre. Not a peasant m Bohemi'" who did not say to himself, Now ]

r" live. Those people saw what they mustJ- d,o. They were suffocating m tyrannyy They must be free or perish. And on

all sides of thorn was the Austrian,-*-. crushing . them with the five weapons

of despotism— the dynasty, the aristoc-racy, the bureaucracy, the church, thearmy. What could those peasants do"!Iwill tell you. They said to them-selves, 'We have no physical, forcewh-erewjlth' to achieve freedom; verywell, then, we will fashion an intell^c-tual foree

—with our minds we will de-

stroy Austria, with our brains we willachieve the ideals of the revolution.It was like the sun rising overthe hills.ITliey set up national schools;;they eul-r,titrated . the national literature; theytaught their children that tohave brainswas a part of patriotism. They were 'drily peasants, but they createda nation.Out of those little schools, out of thosehumble homes., come a new Czech aris-tocracy—doctors, professors, engineers/merchants, bankers, all of.them tne sonspeasants. Wo said toourselves, we "ivillmake ourselves a nation; we will befree, we will be independent, we willbo*' powerful. And from that momentbegan a boycott of the German, whichhas blasted for nearly hundred years.;We b*uy no -Qern^ah. gobda. .Wfthavp nodealing with the Germali. We havo'ourown nationalbanks. Tlie Germanbankersays to our people, bring rae your sav-ings andIWill give you 6 per cent. TheCzech says,Ilend my money to my ria-:tiondl.-.bank""'for *3 'per cent. For"*yearswe have been economically and industri-ally free. We aro a self-supporting na-^tion, advanced m our industry, advanc-ing m our culture, nowhere m all Bo-ihernia an illiterate.And when war came,our soldiers, forced to fight on the sidec*f Austria, " deserted mohundreds ofthousands. They went over not to theirenemies, but to their friends— the friends,of freedom. And now, m Siberia, mFrance, m Italy, they are fighting. for «

democracy. Yes, it is fine* but listen.This fight has been10million against80;million. Tomorrow the odds .will beeven! We, Czechs are allying ourselveswith the Poles

—with the- 'Jiigo-Slavs.

-There are millions of us. Our provi-sional Government, sitting,in Paris, re-ceives every day letters from Czechs alloyer-, the world— in Auatralia> -C-iina,South Africa, .North America, SouthAmerica> everywhere.- And all theseletters say one thing, 'Here,is money;Jtell me whatIcan do to help,' Wehave asked not oiiejjjenny from the'Al-lies-rr-not a penny; and' we have threearmies fighting jn different part's of theworld for our freedom. The Slavs mRussia are listening-to us. In Siberiaour soldiers are the vanguard of a freeand glorious Russia. One day you willsee Austria crash to the ground, and anthat day the: heirs of .the Czech peasants

;Will receive their reward. 'Why? Be-cause they have been faithful; becausevthey have loved liberty;' because their'conception of life is^right;because their

isabetter mentality than theGerman's. Always we have had one;enemy. -The-German!Andhe has hatedusbecause wehaveloved freedom." Thisiromantic story should give our readerssomo appreciationof the inner meaningof the events that are transpiring mAustria, and should inspire us to rejoiceover the breaking of *$he shackles bythese downtrodden peoples. We whohave enjoyed liberty all onr lives canhardly understand what the gain of lib-,erty means to these nations of' Europe,andsit is gratifying to know that they,are qualified by education and demo-cratic instinct to instantly take theirplace amongst the free democracies ofthe world. Professor Benes says of theBohemians: "Wevare a modern nation,trained, literate, disciplined, ecqnomical-ly independent, industrially free, readyto take our liberty and todefend it fromthe feudalism.of Austria, the brutalityof tlie Prussian. Trust xus;help us;.work with lis. The day is at hand of-Austria's retributiom" There are 29millions of these anti-GermanAustrian*,who by blood and speech and sympathyare akin to the peoples of- the Entente,,and to-day they are throwinir off the un-natural race:chains that Austria-Hungaryhas imposedupon them, Perhapsnothingm allhistory is more inspiring than thevaliant struggle of these) Czechs and Slo-vaks, for liberty. To-day sees the dawnof a now era for-.them

—the glorious sun

of Liberty is rising above the cloudsof war. ,- - mmmmmmmmmmmmmimmm .

Captain JohnL.H.Ma«a.ulay (A.S.C.)■;writing to/his father (Rev. J. Macaulay),of Waverloy, N.S.W., stresses the factthat the British, m their advance toJerusalem, beat the Turks-in counter m)which a small army could! haYoi*made astrorug stand against "almost aity army."It is simply marvellousliow the BritishVever got through to. Jerusalem. I'oamiot help marvelling how.the Turk-allowed us through.

'the fact that smaller qU_u-tities are being turned out

The police have been advised of adaring burglary at South Dunedin. Aman and bis wife retired to rest about11 o'clock1 on Monday night, when thehusband left a roll of notes totallingabout £100 m his vest, which he hungon the bedpost. About 4 o'clock on

Tuesday morning the wife was disturb-ed by a light being flashed m her face.She did not arouse her husband, whohad not been well, but went into the.passage, where she encountereda strangeman, who struck her on the head, ren-dering her senseless. 'Another man wasseen outside the house. The woman'stwo brothers, who were sleeping on thepremises, ran to her assistance, but thetwo visitors had decamped. Tlie vestwas found on the verandah, but the rollof notes was missing.

A correspondent at the front, writ-in? on August 14th, said: Iheardto-day a nice story from Australianofficers concerning the capture of Mar-celcave Village on the first day of thebattle. Marcelcave was difficult of at-tack m front m face of its,machinegun defences, so two companies of Aus-tralians with one tank came down on itfrom behind on the north. The tan-went first, and was so efficient thatafter it had perambulated the villagethere was nothing left for the infantryto do. , Then the* tank formally handedover tlie village, to the Australians, andthe commanding officers of , the twocompanies concerned gave the tank vcom-mander a full receipt therefor— namely,"Item, received on August 8 fromCommander , Tank No. , onevillage of Marcelcave m indifferent re-pair, and so forth. That receipt is apleasant souvenir for the tank com-mander to keep hereafter.

An indication of the work that willremain to be done by the men at thefront after peace has been declared, iscontained m a letter from a Christ-church boy who is with the Motor BoatPatrol (says the Christchurch Press).He writes:

—"Youmust not forget this,

that should the war-end to-morrow, itwill be the best part of two years be-fore the boys over here get home again,and, speaking- for myself, probablylonger. A* Bill has been put throughhere authorising R.N.V.R. men to bekept on for five years after the war, ifneed be. You can imagine what.'workis to be done. In France, trenches, etc.,have to be filled m, towns squared Up,and a thousand and one jobs finishedbefore troops are dismissed. With us,we have millions of mines to sweep up,and my opinion is that, all R.N.V'R.men will be drafted to sweepers on thedeclaration of peace. One minefieldI]know of took nine months to lay, andit will take as long to clean up." j

CANADIAN CAVALRY'S RIDE TODEATH.

DESPERATE EXPLOIT ON SOMMEFRONT.

With the CanadianForces, Aug. 20.It is now possible Xo record some

of the exploits of the Canadian cavalryon the three opening days of the battleon the Somme front.

None is more tragic and wonderfulthan the ride to death of some men ofa well-known Western regiment. Thecavalry, set the task of breakingthrough the enemy 'lines and destroyinghis back organisation,, undertook somedesperate adventures m this quest overa country serrated with trenches andwire and containing hidden nests ofenemy machine guns.

On the right of our line lay the openAmiens-Roye road. Great strategic re-sults might be gained by a sudden

'dash

down towards Roye, but it was im-possible to get off the road,owing towire and deep trenches. Informationwas to hand that our infantry had cap-tured Damery, and that the Frenchoccupied Andechy. Unfortunately, itdeveloped that this was erroneous, tlieenemy holding both these strong pointson either side of the road, as well asthe woods between, while the trenchesalong the road itself were lined withmachine guns. *

Under this misapprehension a smallbody of cavalry attempted to gallop the"Z" Wood down the road, a strong-hold that did not fall into the handsof the French until nearly a weeklater. Down the road they^ rodethroughthe ranks of the advancing infantry,but they were wiped out long beforethey reached their objective, onetrooperalone getting within a hundredyards ofit. Some empty saddles returned, andat night half a dozen wounded mencrawled back into our lines.

In one instancea division was.reduced to one battalion.During the/past six months 25 divi-sions have been disbanded, while m thelast four weeks five* third-rate, ill-equipped divisions- have been transfer-red fromRussia to the West front..The enemy's total shortage m rifleson establishment may safely be takenas over 550,000. '■*.'■*It is estimated that since JanuaryIst the enemy's casualties total 2.500,---OCO, cf which.1,000,000 are permanent.

The total reserves at German depots atpresent is estimated not to exceed340.000, including the greater portionof the^ 1920 class. Hitherto every efforthas been made to postpone the employ-ment of the latter class, as it is the soleremaining reserve of tho enemy's rniin-.power. Its consumption would involveserious economic .consequences to Ger-many after the war.

■: *It is estimated that' of 18.000 Ger-man guns..of all.calibre .on the . Westfront, m July. 33 per cent; were lost mbattle casualties 'alone.. Divisions fromRussia were thrown into battle unpro-vided .with.' artillery or-machine-guns,while the decreasing aircraft activityis a further sign of the deficiency mmaterial and resources

*causing an in-creasingly serious effect on"the enemy'smorale, though nothing like general de-

moralisation has occurred. It remainsto be seen whether the Entente"armies'pressure can continue with sufficientvigor to cause a general collapse of theenemy's resistance.

CHANGED TIDE.

3MOMENTOUS THREE MONTHS.HUGHES ON VICTORY.

(By Keith Murdochs) vA.I.F. Headquarters, France,. ... October 22

Standing on a; motor-dar bonnet, Mr. :Hughes addressed, two parades ,of Aus-tralian soldtiers behind! the frbnfc' to-day."The first was principally, South

Australians, West Australians, andTasmanians, from a famous' brigade.;which wasm the forefront of" the Aug-ust and September fighting. The* otheraudience was composed of New SouthWelshmen, Victorians, and Queensland-el's, ■ who had crowned an arduous sixmonths with the capture of Hinden-vbnrg'e .outpost line.

Mr. -Hughes said that they had richlyearned that periodof repose which theGovernment had secured for them, andtold them how proud the people mAustralia were of their deeds'. , Their ,people a.t ,home admired them,, andtoiujed! above aIL things for their Wtjurn.

,T_e tide of war had changed ourway. No man would have said. threemonths ago that we wouldstand m Oc-tober on the threshold of victory.

A NOTE OF WARNING.Speaking at the luncheon given m

his honorhy M. Pichon (French ForeignMinister), Mr.- Hughes said:

—"'The dark and! awful days of trial

are almost past. The arrogant and'

boastful enemy,.who forced' a bloodywarupontheunpreparedworld,and whobut yesterday 'stalked tlirough the landspeaking- only of conquests, now cringesabjectly, and whines for peace. Aus-tralia,* that free democracy, which hasarmed and equipped nearly 400,000.freemen to fight for liberty and .democracy'alongside the splendid soldiers ofFrance, and whose fought andMcd and died beside yours, rejoicesthat the day of deliveranco is at hand.feut beware lest Germany, driven backand back, with her defeat threateningto. turn into a headlong rout, succeedsby chicanery m extricating herself,' andwinning by wiles what she failed to winby the sWord. Our terms must be dic-tated, for we dare not trust Germany,and-Fpcli must settle the conditions ofthe armistice."

Continuing, Mr. Hughes said that thesoldiers who led!\us to victory couldbe relied on;not to let the fruits of thevictory slip through their - fingers, orto .lose one iota of the Advantage,gain-ed;by battle.

Germany's whines could scarcely beheard amidst -the roar of burning citiesand '-the groans of the victims of thdLeinster and Hirario Maru. She mustpay such a price that war will- he re-garded for all time as criminal-and un-profitable.Mr. -Hughes, during a visit to Quaid'Orsay,. met a number .of diplomats,and conversed at length with M. Cle-menceau, the'French Premier, regard-ing the war situation.

Amsterdam advices show bewilder-ment as to the nature of the eleventh-hour dissensions iri Berlin concerningtho reply to President Wilson. Whetherthe General Staff is finding the armis-tice bluff unworkable, and will opposesurrender, or whether the new Govern-ment is too bourid up iri Kaiserdqm, isnot yet known..Herr Scheidemann, tho new SocialistMinister, however, caused a. sensation

amongst tho bureaucrats by removingthe Kaiser's photograph 'when he enter-ed tho Secretary of State's office. Heis not trusted, and- the Radical journalspropose Herr Haase (leader of the Min-ority Socialists) and tho Socialist HerrLedebour. as members of the Govern-riient which will inaugurate peace. ..Berlin.states- that the renewed discus-sions, are not likely to last J/hrdughoutMonday. .

The Sunday Observer says: "The set-tlement with Germany must mean a de-finite and safe end1 of fighting, with.thecertain attainment of all vital objects,leaving.the plenipotentiaries free, andwithout the danger of renewed strife,to enter upon the prolonged task of re-arranging the boundaries of Europe,Asia, and Africa,<and laying the foun-dations of the future, political andeconomic intercourse 'of the whpleworld.

," about to capitulate. Baron Burian'sstatement that- the war, as far as Aus-tria is concerned, has ended, has an-gered the German diplomatists, and isinterpreted as a warning that Germany|niust continue the war at her own risk.After Count Tisza's speech, to the'Hungarian Diet an address from Karl-was read,, declaring that the result ofj the war had endangered the throne,and"adding'that Hungary must be complete-ly independent, and Hungarian ti*6ops,m viow* of the danger of invasion,mustbo brought back, while foreign troopsm Hungary ittust.be withdraw!).'

Count. Karolyi said that tho sessionWas the funeral feast of the delegates,because tho public demanded1 an inde-pendent Hungary. He said that themonarchy's. foreign policy was respon-sible for the wai* by the ultimatum toSerbia.

Herr Muhlon, a former director ofKrupp's, had told' hinn that the Aus-trian diplomats deliberated the' text ofthe ultimatum m tho presence\of the"Kaiser, who declaredhe wouldshow theworldhe was not a. puppet, and.Avould

WHEN THE WAR ENDS."oreat prouj^k.m AULAI>

WARNING TO AI.-STKAUA.(Commonwealth Correspondent.)

LONDON. Oct. 22.A question of immjnsciimportance ha.*,

come suddenly to the front. It is thequestion of the plan for the repatriationof the troops, m readiness for tho mament, whenever it comes, when the warends. I'Itis urgent that the Australian people',

should understand the earlier stages ofrepatriation,which is a civil problem socompletely entangled with demobilisa-tion, which is a military problem, thatit cannot by anypossibility be managedfrom Australia. There is the most urg-ent necessity that it should be carriedon daily and hourly m touch with theAustralian.Imperial Force, backed bystr/>ng national representation o:i<' .the.spot, and m continual touch with theauthorities m London concerned ■ withtransportation. . '

CABLEGRAMS USELESS.Any attempt tv keep m touch with the

details of repatriation merely by meansof cablegrams -would "be utterly inade-quate-. . .

The whole great existing machineryof the Australian'Imperial Force can beemployed an the overseasportioncf thisproblem. The machinery of that force.is more efficient than any organisationour country has ever known, simply be-cause efficiency has been, enforced bytraining, m.which the absence e,E effici-ency would.daily mean disaster, andoften has meant instant death.

The provisionof the vast organisationof the detailsof repatriationmAustraliaitself mast be settled by the Australiancivil authorities, but the vast problemof getting this great complex army backto Australia when the timo comes, not *

only without a hitch or disaster, but jwitn tho greatest-benefit. to the men and'jto Australia on their entry intocivil life,

'cannot be handled from' Australia, noi*iwithout intimate' daily co-operation ofthe Australian Imperial Force* itself.

THE GREATEST PROBLEM.The process of camping, feeding,

training, and entertaining the men din*- jing the long months that must necessar-ily elapse between the end of the war

'and the".embarkationof the whole forcefor Australia, and;the question of suit- jable occupation and organisationduring'the whole' trying period,.including thevoyage, the question of classification ofthe men into the trades and callings,,'while they are still serving, and are,,liable to be calledon at any moment toresume1arms on a breach of the condi-tions by the enemy are questions which;are intimately entangled with the generral scheme of repatriation that can bedealt with only by the Australian Im-.perial Force itself, who£e 'organisationaffords the only machinery available forthis part of the problem." -

IThis problem has been long realised

as the most difficult, and the greatesttliat laces the force. If it had been pos-sible the problem would, simply betackled by the same military systemwhich fought Australia's recent battlesand launched the great offensive onAugust 8, and A*;hicli carried the Aus- .trauan troops victoriously through thevery homes of tho headquarters of thofamous German staff, or it would betaken absolutely for granted that therewas m existence,some uranc.iof trie mili-tary staff m whose office plans could beso completely worked out months oryears.beforehand, that the moment anarmistice was arrived at it would benecessary only to open a drawer ami Isend out telegramsputting into force a Icomplete scheme, the details of whichhad already been placed m the hands ofevery officer and manwho wouldbe partof the machinery for carrying dtout. ..

LET ABMLY DO -IT.There idsno mere abstract supposition.

It is' a concrete and definite method.'which everyone here has known andseen daily. Inprocess— a method whichbeat 'the Germans at their own gamebefore Amiens;a method which movedm the* whole of the. Canadian troops bo-hind the-Australians m three days with- >

tint the.Germans suspecting the slight-est difference; a method which movedup the attacking brigades through themost intricate stages, with the infantry,guns, tanks, ammunition, and aero-planes, each,moving past the other atexact"timer* and places ';' a method which?served the Australian infantry not onlyAvith ammunition, bombs, artillery and"support, however far they ;went, butalso provided them with a steaming hotmeal at the end of it, on t,he night of ,Ibattle. '■■■ |

ORGANISATION READY. , »It is cif the most urgent interest to

Australia's"., soldiers here" that, this ex-;ceedingly efficient organisation, whichwas carried out through the. sweat anddeath-wounds of four great campaigns, iwhich knows them and their problems.!and which is pound to be m charge tillthe force arrives m Australia, shouldbe placedm the position of-solving those jproblems of repatriation of tho Austral- Jtan Imperial Force up to the timo of-th.3..arrival'of the force m Australia, which,is entanzled with demobilisation. j

The duty of working1 out the scheme "has not been m the hands of the leadersof the Australian Imperial Forcos up to.the present. '-.. (

Australians should realise m the inter-ests of her s-tldiers thatif she is toavoidthe possibility of troubles far more diffi- jcult than those of the Drayton Grange, |and eive tho men who fought for herthe help to which they have a right, shemust turn without a- moment's delaythe greatest and most statesmanlikecapacity immediately available, the best'eoncsntrated brain, Che highest organ-ism? power the Australian forces haveproduced, together with thoshipping au-thorities, into that part of the problemof repatriaticm which precedes the ar- 'rival of the trocrps m the homeland.-

EMANCIPATION IN SIGHT.

REJOICING IN PARLIAMENT.LABOR LEADER'S SOMBRE "NOTE.

(Prom Our t'lirliatnentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, this day.

The opening of Uie Ottoman gate andthe emancipation of tlie grim but hal-lowed, graveyard of Gallipoli, and Jillthe tangible* and inlangihlo results as-sociated with the smiling of the armis-tice, between the Allied GoveLnmentsand the Government of Turkey, werecelebrated yesterday m the House ofIRepresentatives. The dominant senti-

-1ments which moved! members and pub-Ilie to rejoice with gratified joy, andla touch" of humility. which atone time indeed seemed to act al-most as a cold douche upon the mostfervent speaking. All sides and partiesof the House found expression, and thegravity of the Labor leader's note,which was an emotional plea for humil-ity and justice, was lightolled by' thespirited sentiments of Mr. Payne. Theoutstanding feature of the celebrationwas the lack of brevity*- The. Premierread a telegram from the Secretary.ofSlate, and"pointed out that, althoughit was true it wa.s not unconditionalsurrender, there was no doubt that itwas very near that position. He wassatisfied the Allies would hold the keyof the iron gate of the Dardanelles un-til satisfactory peace had been arrang-ed, and all were glad1 to think that at-last the end of the war was m sight.(Applause.) Peace with victory wascoming, and he was certain there weresigns of victory which would -securepeace for the world for .x long time tocome. So to-day, m every corner ofthe Empire, and throughout Alliedcountries, there was rejoicing over thesigns of victory, and on every Britishship m,the great seas. He ventured tosay that when Lord Kitchener declaredhe* war* preparing .for a three years'war there were very few who agreed.with, him. The war had exceeded *-mlength the expectations of most people,and thq,ugh we had not yet reached theend, he was glad to say that the endwas m sight. The events of the lastfew days were some of the most impor-tant mi the history of the civilisedworld, because there was no doubt thatthe war m which Turkey's surrenderwis a momentous episode had beenstarted with the intention of smashingall that was best m "civilisation. Heannounced that he had sent to the Im-perial Government a cable, requestingthat if possible all Anzaes should besent to garrison tho Dardanelles. (Ap-plause.)

-The Premier emphasised the import-ance of Gallipoli, consecrated by theblood of our sons, and! beneath whichlay the bones of many gallant men, be-ing brought under British control. Tohave the Dardanelles forts manned byAnzacs was only just to the memory ofthose brave men who had given theirlives for the Empire on the Dardanelles,and he hoped that arrangements wouldbe made whereby the graves of thosewho had fallen on Gallipoli would bepreserved for all time. It would' bewrong that we should forget the ser-vices of these men, and it was but rightthat.Britain should also remember.Mr.Massey reviewed historical events con-cerning the Dardanelles, and said thatby the entry of the British fleet intothose waters a gate had been openedwhich never again would be shut. He-paid a glowing tribute to the Anzacs,Maoris, and other Empire troops, and'to our gallant' Allies for the immensejsacrifices. ' "

"In the hour of victory," ho said,"we must not forget the great servicesrenderedby America, Avhose 'weight hadturned the balance m our favor: thepatriot's.n of Franco and Italy\ and theloyalty of Japau, avlio, had she throAvnm her influence and power Avith Ger-many, Avould'havo made our position mthese southern seas almost impossible."He.paid a warm tribute to the nativesof the South Sea Island's Avho had volun-teered for the front m the hour of need.They had shoAvn a magnificent spirit,and on the eve of victory should*notbe forgotten. He sounded a note ofjust retribution for the foe. No one en-vied the Kaiser m the position iv Avhichhe found Himself— a position Avhichvividly recalled that of the Babylonianking, who saw the Avriting on the Avail.In this hour of victory avc should notforget the Higher Power Who pro-tected us throughout the crisis. Whenpeace did come wcr'must see that it Avasworthy of the urreat sacrifices made,worthy of the fifteen thousand of thepick of our population who had paidthe extreme"""-penalty, Avorthy of themothers and Avives avlio had "sent them."Peace," he declared, "must? never besigned ,till punishment is meted tothe enemy and reparationmeted for hismisdeeds, and not only punishment isdemanded, but such conditions imposedas Avill cause Germany's impotence todisturb the peace of the Avorld for, atatl events, the next hundred years."(Loud applause.)

DAY OF EMANCIPATION."I think Iam right m saying," de-

clared Sir Joseph "Ward, who secondedthe motion, "tliat the majority of thepeople m this country to-day feel thatit is a day of emancipation. It freesthe whole civilised world from the in-tention of the enemy who started thewar m the belief that might wa« right,and was prepared to overcome theweaker nations; to conquer France, tomake entry into Britain,. cross theocean to the United States, and becomethe dominant Power of the Avorld."-He proceeded to say that all that Avasa wonderfully ambitious scheme, which,if it had been successful, would haveenclosed the civilised world m thechains of Prussian" militarism, and wo.would have become servants of a ruth-less enemy. German Volonial Sec-retary, Dr *Bolf, hud practically pro-claimed1 that Germany must get a gooddeal more than her former possessionsm the Pacific. What more could bemeant than Australia and New Zea-land? So it was: a» day of emancipa-tion. ,

Sir Joseph Ward eulogised,the workof Britain's navy, and emphasised theMotherland's tremendous " efforts andsacrifices m the prosecution of the .warwith tho.old dogged resolution of theBritish race. Speaking, of the ■ partplayed m the war by "the British navy,Sir Joseph said that the Avhole worldwas indebted to this branch of

'British

arms. It had enabled us to stem thecurrent which set m against us. Theconveyance of millions of men and vastquantities of material was a feat un-rivalled m the history of the world,'"and would touch the imagination offuture generations when.history that

.was .'now secret was told. As to theevents of the past four years he thoughthe. could say, with .all* due respect" toAmerica and the other Allies, that it'Aras the great part played1 by theMotherland which had brought us totho satisfactory position wo Jotiinl our-,selves m to-day. The unity of tlie Kiii-pire was one of the most 'remarkablethings m history. Before that unitydistance and seas which divide us haddisappeared. Our .own country was acase m point, and it must have beenone of the greatest surprises to theKaiser that the overseas countries hadresponded to the call when the freedomof the world wa.s m danger.

Sir Joseph Ward paid .a tribute tothe immense sacrifices mado by theworkers of the Empire, and emphasisec1tho necessity of recognising,that a iicav.industrial position -had-: to be faced bymen of all classes, i# vieAv of the grandservices the workers had rendered to theEnipire m its day of trial. Ho wasproud of the fact that all classes mNew ■ /seal|iiG*"" had taken pari m thestruggle, out "m this . mjnne'ction thewomen desen*ed special worm praise,'as but for their adaptability m takingup new employment ninny hundreds of'.men could' not have been released forthe front. (Applause).

Continuing",'. Sir Joseph paid a tributeto the mercantile marine, audi, m con-cluding, said that the hour of victorybrought -back "with greater poignancythe grief of those who .had' lost sons..We ought never to forget their extra-ordinary, losses, but should give themour prateful thanks for the sacrificesthey had1 made..(Applause). ■

t

HUMILITY URGEDAfi*. Hiudniarsh, leader of the Labor

group, -issued a different message to thopeople of the country, preaching thodoctrine of humility u'iid national emu-lation iii peace of out' soldiers' groatwork and sacrifices m the field of battle."I think on such an occasion, as- .thepresent.'* he remarked, "we should saywe will do oul' part to make put* couli-t,rv a betU'r nation. X thittk there-|foro, wo- should regard the crccasionmore as one for serious thought, andbe chastened iii our joy by remembrancethat peace lias its Victories, but peacealso, unfortunately, has its sacrificesas well; Who 'are' the mcii," he cried,"who nourished this warlike spirit?Not the working men, but the rulersof the people, who say they have a sortof divine right to rule because theyhave wisdom and education. They arothe men who have brought about thisoataclysm of mankind. At a time likethis we ought not to be too puffed upwith pride at our own achievements,but should display a.spirit of humility.The war should alter our outlook, andwe should resplve to .become patriotictowards our own' country jiiid make ita:better place iv which -to live, so .that"men might hand down-brighter heritageto their children.

A STURDY NOTE.:\lr. Payne next rose; and' struck a

.sturdier note, declaring he spoke oubehalf of those men and women whohad not considered what the Avar wasabout, or where the responsibility lies,"but without hesitation ha* sent hus-bands, sons, and fathers to fight forthe Empire m its time of peril." (Loudapplause.) 'Wh»t -caved .tho"member-, forGrey Lynn about State matters now?(Hear, hear.) "T cay the great major-ity of the people, workers. and others,m the British Empire possessed? thedogged resourcefulness and pluck of theBritish race and were not stalcjnaters."(Loud applause.) In the course*' of hisremarks.' Mr. Payne said we ought todeal with Germany on <the basis of the.old Mosaic law,- an* eye for an eyeand atooth for a tooth. ■

NEW ZEALAND HONORS.The Minister of Defence, Sir James

Allen, paid a tribute to the ;magnifi-cent services of the native races Avhocame to the aid of the Empire m thehour of need. In endorsing the senti-ments expressed by the two leaders ofthe House, he agreed with Mr.\ t Hind-marsli. that iv tlie midst of our joy weshould be humble, iv face m the fearfulsacrifices made, and m view of tlie/trc-mendous problems to be met m future;but, m suite of all our humility, it wassurely also a time for unspeakable joyand for a manifestation 'of soirit .ofthankfulness. (Hear hear.) Tho liewshad a peculiar significance for thopeopleof New Zealand', who were.deeply con-cerned m the fate of Gallipoli, and hewas glad to know that the leaders ofthe House had taken the precaution topreserve as sacred the ground on whichthe New Zealandqrs. had fought anddied1.

The Minister read a list of aAvardsjust to hand which had been bestoAvcdon New Zealanders up to August Sis'"last. The list. Avhich totalled 3704, in-cluding 14 decorations, contained fiveVictoria Crosses. The Minister «x---olained' that one more at leasthad sincebeen bestoAved:

, BONDS OF BROTHERHOOD.Sir James Carroll- made an eloquent

speech, m Avhich he emphasised thatthe Empire aud the Allies we're m- sightof their goal. He spoke of the bondsof Empire forged m the brotherhood ofarmsi during the great wok. It Avas notthe timo to split the ethlls. of warfare.Wo Avero m it right up to th© heck,'and had to see it through to the end.(ApDlause.) It -had been a long, hardroad, but avo had travelled a good Avay.The goal Avas exhilaratiligly clear. Thechief Central PoAver was losing its al-lied forces. Germany Avas being leftalone to face the whole world.. No.doubt sho Avbuld endeavor to, hold out'for the winter, m order to make thehest possible terms-. She Avas rushingPresident Wilson's fourteen .-*..'point- as,her only hope to get «omc concession.Ho liopud that the Allies,,m grantingconcessions, would not err too much onthe humane side. The news to-dayAvould lift the gloom from'many aching,hearts- throughout the Empire. Thepeople had been brave m bearing the.sacrifide to sustain aud maintain thecause of liberty, justice, freedom, andright. The Av.onicii of New Zealand1 andthe Empire'had looked x beyond thelimit of immediate sorrow', 'and hadlooked upon the horizon of the regener-ation of mankind. /(Applause.) 'Thevictory Avould be univorsal, and Avouldbe the greatest triumph ever achievedby true democracA*. Democracy did not,belong alone to the Labor class. It be-longed to all classes. (Applause.) Thegreatest democrat Avas the King. (Ap-olause.) The British constitution meantdemocracy. The people'of "-England hadwrested Magnj* Chavta from, kings, andhad always disputed the divine rightof kingship. The same spirit had spreadall-over the Empire. He gracefully ac-knoAvledged the Ministers' tributes' tothe Maoris, and urged that colored, sub-ject races should have direct represen-tation at the greatest peace conferencethe Avorld had' ever known.'-

NOHALF PEACE.WORLD RESENTS 'GERMAN

'TACTICS.

REFORMS MERELY' A DODGE.LONDON, October 22.

Dismissing the so-called democraticreforms as the Kaiser's dodge to shiftthe responsibility of an Unfavorablepetlce or the continuance of the war to|tho hiUicrlo powerless Reichstag, theTimes m tliis morning's lender says:

—"Tin; only' point Avhich. matters is,

does -Germany,intend -to accept an im-mediate armistice upon President Wil-son's terms? The

'remainder of thereply is unimportant.

"The. troops may now be instructedto spare -property- and care for the popu-.lations, but Avherc are the Lille de- 'portees. the enslaved Avomen andmaidens? What is the lesson of ruinedCambrai, aud of the systematic lootingby German officers? I

"Tho alleged TJ-boat instructions areAvithout face value. I

- "Tho 'Avhole, reply reeks of. prevarica-tion, and breathes a spirit Avith Avhich.the Allies have nothing m common.Whatever motives dictated the reply,]there wilt be no change m the condi- jtioii's Avhich the Allies are inexorablydetermined to impose."

Authoritative circles regard the Ger-man reply as "not business, but merely jan argumentative protestation" design-,ed to coAfer*the» absence of any reply, j

A high official described the Note as."badly

*"camouflaged insincerity." (

It is pointed out that Germany isproceeding;'"on the assumption that Pre-sident Wilson merely demanded theevacuation of occupied territories,Avhereas this is false. Furthermore,there are naval questions Avhich requireto bo cleared up. jItshould be noted that the principle

of the "freedomof the seas" as inter-preted by Germany is Avholly unac-ceptable to Great Britain.

"FARRAGO OF IMBECILITIES."British comments regard the reply as

Unsatisfactory. !. The Westminster Gazette says that

Germany is still wavering betAyeen tAvominds. She is unAvilling to break offnegotiations, and is not yet prepared toadmit her final military defeat. '.'. .

The Daily Mailhopes that -the Alliedpeoples will dismiss this farrago of im-becilities, knoAving that only militaryaction Avill secure the peace they Avant.They Avill leave President Wilson toiuiswer the Huns, aiid will get on Aviththe Avar.

Lord Northcliffc, interviewed', sftt'dthat, he regarded the Note" as full ofprevarications and subterfuge, but thocontents also implied that Germany'smilitary and economic conditions -wereAyorse than the Allies imaghiecLv

'

The Daily Chronicle says that tlie re-ply is obviously unacceptable. The sug-gestion that the armistice, should bebased on the status quo does not lackimpudence. The only terms, hoAvever,that Aye can offer must correspond!cer-tainly to our victory'

The Note seems to be a piece of dip-lomatic huckstering, marking a stage mthe path to surrender.

The Daily Noavs asks Avhether Ger-many is only playing for time, and saysthat* the guarantees demanded by theAllied military and naval authoritieswould furnish a practical test of Ger-many's sincerity and the poAver of hermilitary rulers.

The Daily Telegraph remarks on thestudious vagueness of the Note, whichshoAvs that Germany desires us to goon talking.

"We _emand definite acts," says thejournal, "like the abandonmentof fort-resses and the surrender of warships,it is time an eiid%A\*as put to negotia-tions Avhich. must be Ayifhout resubV solong as Germany is m her presentmood.". Tho Daily Express states that Ger-many has tacitly admitted defeat. It isfor the Allies to discoA'cr Avhether: herdesiro for peace is strong enough to im-pelher to pay the Allied price.

WILILGLM'S CROSS.■ Rcuter'^ correspondent at Amsterdamsays that Max Harden, editor of theZukunft, addressing an audience of sev-"eral thousand at. Berlin, declared that|the Kaiser must shoulder liis cross andseek* peace based on the enemy's mili-tary superiority. Thereafter ho 'mustbo shorn of his despotic'powers.---> Tim correspondent of the Times atThe Hague says that the German .Note,was drafted and despatched after '■ pro-longed discussions by representatives ofall sections. It Avas finally approved bytho party leaders, and the Committeefor Foreign Affairs and the War Cab-inet, Avho Averc convinccdMliat the con-tents revealed the. utmost reconcilia-tion.

Recriminations m Germany, especial-ly as- regards submarine Avarfare, areproceeding vigorously. Some extreii|eneAvspapers demand that the hangmenshould get brjsy. ,

Replying to these attacks the friendsof Dr. von Bethmann-Holhveg (a for-mer Chancellor) claim that he offeredearly m 1917 to abandon submarineAA'arfare if President Wilson found ahopeful basis for peace."" VoiAvarts aud the Berliner Tageblattviolently attack the inaugurators of sub.marine warfare.

that dash across the broad Atlanticalone. Lesser ships— though they wouldbe accounted palatial behemoths m Aus-tralia

—have to find safety m numbers.

We were one of many. All litid notarrived at the secret trysting nlace.The American Government makesvitsown plans and keeps its own counsel.There is an impression that civiliantrafiic is the exceptionand not the rule.It is wrong. Thousands wish to travel. Aveekly, and hundreds get berths. Theyseek a shipping office. They book onNo. 1918. Its size, its speed, its start-

ling point, its time of departure, thecapacity of its cabins are matters' Arhieh'concern not the Aroyageur. Tt is his torejoice* if he gets an allotment any-where. It is his to be ignorant of allelse until, at the eleventh hour, he iswarned to reach Nicotine wharf at suchand such o'clock "precisely"— and that"precisely" means precisely.

Gladly he commits himself and hisbaggage to the unknown No. 1910.Eagerly he scans fyjr when he reachesthe pier and surreptitiously he creepsto the side to pick out her name, butmost times he is disappointed. No.1918 has outwardly forgotten her iden-tity. It is only when the already elab-orate Avar precautions have been madeto appear simple beside the tangle ofinquisitive inquiries aud the .formidableformulae of the actual embarkation, andthe gangway is mounted Avith fatiguedfeet, that Ihe registered' name of the\:essel is to be learnt.

Suffice it that you are there. Youradventurous quest is well advanced.

j The bells of the buoys soothe you tosleep.I All around is hustling, bustling, lifeiii tha morning. Your ship alone lies

■ inanimate iv the stream. Your cabin! trunk has gone to the baggage-room,whence there is no shifting this sideof England. You examine your suitcaseand oonder how it will eke out threeweeks. On deck opportunity comes' tomarvel at the throng, jostling you forbreathing room, with "Par-r-don ms."There are to be two sittings m the din-ing saloon. Uncle Stain has promisedl tosend two million more men to Europebefore Christinas. Portion of themgood-humoredly crowd the congested decks.

■ Lifebelts? Yes, they are m yourcabin, and if you will read the notice* on the purser's office, you -will discoverthat "every passenger must wear hissubmarine shoulder and body belt dayand night, "and have it within reachwhen you go to- bed."

And chairs? There are not sufficientfur all, but what would you when 2500adults arc fitted into a "ship originallybuilt to hold 600? That they are hous-ed at all demonstrates that the miracleof the loaves and fishes was not suchan astonishing miracle after all.

And that ship? She is a freighter.from the Great Lakes. And that low -cut- steamer .is the ono- which- beat thoGerman- raider Mocwe. And thatgraceful liner is the Z, which manylimes tied up m Australian harbors.And that curious vessel with the singlefunnel raking over the stern is one ofthe new standardised ships. Allnations have contributed to the fullharbor. An hour's observation is aliberal education m tlie national typesof mercantile countries.

MAKING A START. iLunch finds you hungry- for the first

time since you landed m America. Thecool air has put an edge on your ap-petite. You eat not wisely but toowell. A curious rhythmical feeling be-neath your feet passes without compre-hension. Again ou deck, and every-thing is moving

—the city, the slnjro,

the "Statue oi" Liberty, the buoys, theother ships. The prophets are con-founded.. The Great Adventure hasbegun. "

Not all the other steamers areleit astern. Several plod ponderouslyneaward, with Plrmsoll subm,e,rgeld.They are to be companions.ity the con-voy. Queer miniature , destroyers surgealongside from noAvhere

—natty pat-

rols—the "chasers" dreaded by the sub-marine.

Far down the water-lane an ungainlyhulk blobs about ou the skyline. Itis a sausage balloon peering into theemerald Avaters for the lurking,-crawlfygenemy. The air is filled with a dulldroning, which rises_ to a terrific din.A huge biplane is sweeping down toport.

The dm doubles—another biplane isswooping on the starboard side.

No. 1918 gathers way, the saunterbecomes a . steady . "■ace-eating dis-tance. The convoy slowly takes or-ganised shtipe from a mass of shipping,'there are Jiiore than teii fine ships andless than a hundred. That is sufficientlyexplicit for war purposes. The Avholoof them are painted m queer distor-tions. The futurists have.won the seans their oavii. By and by the''escortof warships can be picked.out, thoughthey, too. baffled- the; eye at first by.their phantasmagorial markings. Thesausage balloon soars higher and higherto widen the arc of visionvof the ob-server swaying dizzily m the basketsuspended from it. The biplanes scourthe horizon like albatrosses hunting forfood.: The ch.aßo.lfs. spread themselves'as a' lief Avith the steamers grouped mtheir Centre. _

It'is very heartening to find that sturdysoldiers will form most of your "cre*»vm distress.

Then there is time to examine yourcomradeships more

'leisurely. ' Eachhas its gun or guns looking very Avork-manlike.. That spruce liner took LordRoberts and his staff to the SouthAfrican wai-. That fine ship that dips

The convoy spreads, but remaips- com-pact, possessing at once rigidityand elas-ticity. Imaginary thin red threads bindthe "transports t6 the 'principal war-sliip. Somewherf*' on the latter keenbrains areplotting a safety chart. Whendecisions are.reached flags float up thorigging, and, the convoy talks m thedeaf and dumb language of the sea;ora -signaller, armed with flags, stands onthe.highest deck of the warship and is-

sues'instructions:in staccajto sentences;or a semaphore smoothly Avhisks Avordsto watching eyes;or mi immense, lahip

j Hiokoif*. directirtus as, dusk descends. Bid.this genteel whispering is-not wholly soft-

isfticfriry to tile ocean gi;uits. They liketo converse ill. the lull-throated tones otvirile manhood. So the warship .switchesthe .steam into, her syren aiid the bass

-jiotes boom across the waters. The con-voy replies each after its kind 111 fullreM-haill b-ifrs oi- rich baritone, or sweeti*eiit»r, or golden contralto, or tremuloussi'-prano. Kipling must have been listen-ing to some gossip Avhen he wrote:"'Theliner she's a lady."' For more than oneof the convoy has the sweet tmies ol* amarine diva.

Five thousand motor horns tootingl.'egoud when he first luopcd the loopat Brooklands:40.000 people cheeringMil*. Inst Wicket down m an inter-natiniial match oil the Sydney cricketjjt'onnd;80,000 people yelling the nameof the winner of the Melbourne Cup.are as the thrills of Laputa comparedto the electric heart-racing stimulationof a convoy of big vessels talking mmid-ocean.Variable as the light, aspen shade is

the position of our ships. No scowlingsubmarine can hope to find any one ofthem twice m the same place.'

We squirm like a snake, twist andturn like :i hare, rush ahead like ahull. And when umply umpty shipstravel m company on the lonely loveli-ness of the \ery, very broad Atlanticat the same speed, any Peeping Tomwith a persieope would be prepared toswear that they are absolutely station-ary as painted ships upon a, paintedocean. ,

With a following wind and smoke-stacks hanging cylmdrically as if sus-pended from the sky. the illusion is ab-solutely perfect.

.Meanwi'iie we study our fellows, tolind that we have Americans sprungirom many stocks, and Canadians, anaEnglish, ■''and Scots, and Irish, andFrench, and Italians, and Rumanian*.and Serbians, and Japanese, one ot'/vlioinrecalls New York a town clusteringround the Battery 45- years ago, and SanFrancisco a mining camp Avitu saloons,/lived with daredevil roysterers.

And we hear oh the lowerdeck, "Exercise-hands-on - your - hips-Placer and some ol" tho soldiers leavetneir physical drill to learn English.

For the draft has drawn from theSouthern States "men who only spoil.*French, and who, nevertheless, knownothing about France ; America is thelK'iiie of paradox.

USED TO TORPEDOES.Whales spout and sound; porpoises

sportand glide out of sight. Sune fool-ish person recalls that a sooth-sayer mNew York told somebody who told some-body else, that one ti our convoywould be toi-pedoed on a date whichfalls within our run, and the storyspreads as wildfire round the ship. Buthardened mariners shrug their shoulders.This steward has been-torpedoed twice;that olßcer has been on ship's frequentlyattacked; that sea captain— uneasy mmufti:— has had three ships sink beneathhim, and is off toLondon for a fourth, jThe submarine has no scare for the. Brit- ]ish or American mercantile marine. Nor ifor their soldiers. Nor for their civil-ians. /*

Having to sleep four m a cabin AvithportholessealedbetAveen sunset and sun-rise are discomforts which add two.mere'notches to the stick upon which recordis kept of the punishment which the 1Germans must suffer.

Marriner, .of theChristchiuch Chamber of Commerce,said at a confereucc/Hhat m the pastsome exporting houses m England hadmade vast fortunes by. importing greatquantities of manufactures from Ger-many and Austria, and assembling andboxing them up, and exporting themas British manufactures. Tlie boxesweremarked1 accordingly,Jbut- therewereno marks'at all ou tho 'gpods- them-selves., ill*.

ALAN CHILD is a straight-out Trot-ter. He is a bay horse, with TMackpoints, standing 15.2 hands close to theground, and combiningrare quality witha*reat power and substance. With suchqualifications df breeding and conforma-tion, he can scarcely fail to get goodhacks and harhess horses. Ho is a. ro-bust, young horse, full of vigorous mas-culinity, with powers unimpaired by<nany Jone years of severe training..Thisborse is closely related to recent winnerson tlr^e turf. The Rothschilds are recog-aised as the greatest trotting blood mAustralasia. Rothschild himself was■jecond on tho list of winning sires forthe 1917-18 season, there being over115lires below him, which goes to show thatwith such large competition of many

If Pricescontinue high, as seems prob-able, New Zealand after the warshould witness a Further Waveof Prosperity, attended by heavybuying' and an Important Cam-paign of Development.
