"AFTER ALL, ITS WAR."

ARMENIANMASSACRES.FRIGHTFUL DETAILS!

LONDON, September10.The Daily Telegraph'sMytelene cor-

respondent reports horrible details ofthe Turkish fixedpolicy of exterminat-ing the Armenians. The populationof a village of 2000 homes exclusivelyArmenian was exterminated with dia-bolical cruelty. A squad of gendarmeswere first sent to order the inhabitantsto evacuate. The Armenians remainedand 200 soldiers followed to compelobedience. The Armenians resistedand fought and defeated the soldierswho fled. Five battalions uext arriv-ed with machine guns and establisheda cordon round the village. They sentin incendiaries with torches. Thebuildngs were soon afire in a briskbreeze. The miserable inhabitants,mpn, women and children, wereburntalive. Those endeavouring to escapewerp shot. Only four escaped. TheTurkish method throughout the vil-lages is to separate men, compelling,tho young to fight, selling the young*women to harems and sending oldmen. women and children to the unin-habited interior, where they are left toa slow death from hunger and ex-posure. AVhen an appeal was made,the German officials at Constantinopleanswered that they couldnot interfere:"After all, it's war."

OFFICIAL REPORT.

PARIS, September 10.A communique states: The enemy

attacked our positions at Langekopfand Barrenkopf, using asphyxiatingshells. Our first line of trenches atSchratzmanelle was' evacuated owingto the use of blazing liquids. By acounter attack we regained most ofthe lost ground. The enemy gained alooting but subsequently were ejectedfrom the summit of Hartmannsweilei*-kopf. Our aeroplanesbombarded themines and batteries in the Wonnen-brueck wood and the railway stationat Lutterbach. and dropped thirtyshells on the railway station at Grand'pre.

THERUSSIAN SUCCESS.ITS STRATEGIC VALUE.PETROGRAD, September 10.

Military critics, discussing the vic-tory at Tarnopol, point out that theGermans intended an invasion of Vol-hynia and Pedolia with the immediateobject of striking in the rear the Rus-sians at Rovno, Dubno, and Kremen-etz. The local conditions were favor-able, as there were plenty of goodroads and no broad streams or exten-sive forests to facilitate the defence.The battle was fought on a front 30miles long, on a stream flowing paral-lel to the railway two miles west ofthe town. The Germans had madeelaborate preparations to break theRussian front, having immense accu-mulations of ammunition.

THE ENEMY RETREATING.RUSSIAN OFFICIAL NEWS.

PETROGRAD, September 10.Official.— The success at Trimbool

eouals that at Tarnopol.We took 7,000 prisoners.The enemy are retreating.

THE LATTER'S AMBASSADOR.

DEMAND FOR HIS RECALL.WASHINGTON, September 10.

Reutor states that the Governmenthas requested 'Austria to recall HerAmbassador, owing to his propagandato inaugurate strikes in the Americanammunition factories.

LATER.It is not expected that any inter-

national complications will be arousedbecause the recall the Count Dumbahas been demanded. The United Statesis anxious to continue diplomatic re-lations with Austria because of !;helarge diplomatic interests the UnitedStates is managing for European bel-ligerents. These will be imperilledif

"'omatic relations are severed.The press points out that Count

Bernstorff ought to be careful in viewof Count Dumba's plight.

WASHINGTON, September10. ,The Note forwarded to the Ambas-

sador at Vienna on Wednesday saysthat Count Dumba.admitted'proposingto his Government -to instigate strikes,thereby conspiring to cripple the legi-timate industriesof the people of theUnited States and interrupt theirlegitimate trade. Count Dumba flag-rantly violated diplomatic proprietyby employing an American citizen,protected by an American .passport,as a secret -bearer of official despatchesthrough the enemys' lines, thereforehe is no longer acceptable as an Am-bassador. There is no alternativebutto requesthis recall on account of hisimproper conduct. The Governmentregrets the necessity and assures Aus-tria-Hungary of its sincere desire tocontinue friendly relations.

A journal states that Mr. Archibaldalso carried a communication fromwount Bernsstorff to the Berlin For-eign Office.

THE TRADES UNION CONGRESS.CONSCRIPTION FURTHER DIS-

CUSSED.

LONDON, September 10.The Trade Union Congress passed a

resolution that in view of the import-ance of the war issues to democracies,the Congress approves of the LabourParty's co-operation in recruiting.

An amendment urging that theyshould first obtain guarantees that

.adequate provisionwould be made foithe disabled and the dependents ofthe killed was defeated.

M-r. Robertas, M.P., said that hisparty had frequently discussed recruit,ing, favouring the voluntary system,butif an unprecedentedsituation arosedemanding more recruits the majorityof the party^accepted Mr. Asquith'sinvitation to co-operate in a nationalrecruiting campaign.'■'■ The minority, whenpressed for theii

declared lor conscription.

TRADE UNION CONGRESS.

REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS.

LONDON, September 10.The Trade Union Congress protested

against the rise in the cost of livingdue to private1 speculators and urgedthe Government to control supplies ofnecessaries and to appoint a commit-tee, including Labour representatives,to fix the retail prices. They urgedthat women employed in the war1

"ser-

vice should join trade unions and de-mand equal pay for equal work.

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald conveyedto the Congress fraternal greetings onbehalf of the Parliamentary Labour,Party. He said that they all agreedthat it was every citizen's duty to up-hold national honour at the presentmoment. The nation demanded thebest they could do. He concluded byappealing to the Congress to regardany present difference as merely tran-sitory, leading to greater mutual re-spect and loyalty.

CHILDRENS' EVENTS.There were good atendances at all

the sesions on Saturday which was de_

voted principally to children's events,which were all keenly contested andbrought forward good entries. Somedelightful performances were given,and the teachers responsible for thepreparation of the various eompetitosdeserve hearty congratulations for the.success that attended their efforts. Inorder to give the audience tin idea ofexcellence of the reading of the littleoi\es, Mr. Young asked that the win.ners of the prepared reading shouldbe allowed to give a sample of theirability. This -ie committee agreed to,and this part of the evening's enter-tainment wa smost enjoyable, the voic-es of three readers being beautifullyclear, fresh and natural.

The results were as follows:—RECITATION."SchooI Days" (Whit,

that characterised the voices of the ma-jority of tho competitors showed thatthey had for their teacher some personof exceptional refinement. He hopedthat none of them would ever'lose thissweet tone as they got on ia years. Afew did not rise to the same level ofexcellence. The main faults wore thoseof inflection, none seemed to realise thereminiscent tone in the opening verse.Intheir desire to bring not the meaniugof the words they stressed unnaturally.The winner realised the necessity ofmodulation. She changed her voice appropriately to each picture.RECITATION. "Be Thorough." (An-

nonymous). Boys under 12 years.Reginald Dunphy, lOQpts 1George Rix lOSpts jHenry T. Rix lOSpts tThe Judge said that the manly ex.

Tlie Judge said that neither pairgrasped the fiery character of the Hun-garian Dance. Perhaps they were tooyoung. He thought tliat the elder pairwould be able to do better and thatthey would give a more fiery interpre-tation than tue younger pair,but theirswas less so. They did not catch thespirit of the piece.KECITATION. ''Four Sunbeams."

(Anonymous). Girls twelve yearsof age.Flora MeKenzie 121pts. 1Eileen Coakley 120pts 2Eileen Ryan 119pts jDoreen O'Hallorhan 119pts .. .. tThe Judge said that the day outside

had been dark and stormy, and therain had fallen, but he had lived in anatmosphere of sunbeams all day long50sweet little maids had been throwingfour sunbeams at him, and had filledliis soul with warmth. It had reallybeen a treat to listen to them, and lmwould willingly have gone without histea to hear more of them. Many ofthem had weak gestures; some hadvery, very inappropriate ges-tures. They had sweet voices, and thecolour could be conveyed with the jvoice. There was no necesity for themto thump their chest when saying thewords "my heatr."Everyone knew inwhatportion of the anatomy the heartwas placed. They could get the feel,

ing into their voice. It was cruel totake away the sweet naturalness otthese children by clumsy and unnaturalgestures. He hoped that those whowere responsible for their teachingwould remember what he had said andnever' do it again. Many of the chil-.lren also used perfectly the same in-flexionsall throiigh. There was no col-)ur in their work. A great many how.?ver, reached a high degree of merit,md he would like to be able to give;hcmallprizes. The winner had a lovey voice full of colour, and expressed:he meaning of the words without anyumatural gestures. The second girluid splendid facial expression, and aaright sweet manner,but her work wasnarred by unnatural gestures and pre./ented her obtaining the first place,die two bracketed for third place hadseautiful voices but their work wasspoiled by stilted gestures.

SOME VALUABLE ADVICEIn conclusion Mr. Young said that

never in his many years experienceHadle heard voices of such beautiful qual-ity, both in reading and in recitation,

is those of the children in these com-petitions. It would be a groat pity ifhey wore to give up the work theyivere at present doing. He seriouslyrrusted that they would go on doing["heir work naturally. He hoped thatthe teachers would take into considera-tion what he had said regarding ges.lujts. The voices should be made toconvey the meaning. The reader or re.reciter should first of all visualise thelieture of the wordsthey intended toepresentIf thejr did this then the voicervould naturally convey the meaning:hat it was intended to impart. If thespeaker did not see the scene he was gong to depict then how could he paintit for others'? "See the scene'your-self" added Mr. Young, "and theji youwill be able to paint it for your, listen-ers." . .PREPARED SPEECH. (Restricted to

interested in listenng to the speches.He had had no difficulty whatever inleciding the winner. It had not beenx difficult subject and was one capable;>fi broad and generous treatment. Hetrusted that the winner would not beoffended at a note that he had writtenan the winner's sheet, "If the speechis really your own it is a remarkableone." The literary construction wasexceedinglygood. There was an effec-tive .use of antitheses, and altogetherit; was of exeelent literary power. Itmoved in a different plane from anyspeech that he had heard here, and wasone of the best speeches that he hadever heard. If it was the winner'sown work then he was a literary geni-us. He (the Judge), could not havepreparedso good a speech. Itwasbrilliant work for so young a fellow andlie advised hira to go on with suchwork. Inits delivery, however, it wasnot so mucha speech as a conversation,

rhe second prize winner made someglaring grammatical errors. He hadhowever, a good voice and. delivery,md was a, pleasing speaker.

MONDAY September 13th, 1915

HENRY MALONB, in the courseof an interestingarticle, contendsthat Englands devotion to ama-teurism,has led to its misunder-standing the midorlying principl-es oi war. He points oil that twoyears a^'O when the Olympic gam-es were held at Stockholm theEnglish representatives weresoundlybeaten in the majority ofinstances by Americans. TheBritishers -went home and theirmanagers wailed that it was notfair to regard the Americans asamateurs as they prepai-uu. fhem-selves so thoroughly The En-glishmans contention was that aslie only half prepared himself itwas incumbent upon the athlet-es of all other nations to do thesame, failing which they wouldforfeit their amateur status, ac-cording to the English viewpoint.The English representatives haveagainentered upon a series of contests, not athletic this time, buthomicidal. These contests urcstill inprogress, and, taking itall round,Englandhas done muchbetter than she did in athletics.She would have done much betterif she had carried out the game ofwarfare with the same thorough-ness which..characterises her op-ponents. But she declined to doso. Judging Germany by its ownfoolish standards. England nev-er suspected tha,t the Huns wouldinvade Belgium in defiance totheir pledged word. It clung tothe unutterably ludicrous ideathat anarmed nation possessedofmilitaryideals "would have any re^gard for its honour. Logicallynations arm only for the purposeof oppressing other nations,or ofpreventingother nations from op-pressing them, therefore, if allnations were animated by a spiritof fair play and justice the up-keep of'armies and navies wouldbe ridiculously wasteful. Theidea that Germany needed herarms to protect herself from oth-ers

— from the terrible Swiss, orthe graspingBelgians,or the war-like Dutch— was so obviously ri-diculous that it must have beenclear to anybody but the leadersof England that Germany's vastai'inv was raised and maintainedsolely for the purpose of oppress-ing",its neighbours. England re-ceived its second shock when theGerman professional murderersbegan to act in accordance withthe principles of their profession,invading Belgium and startingout on a career of assassination,rapine, loting torturing, and gen-erally behavingin a manner thatwould make a decent Red Indianblush redder than ever. But theRed Indian is, of course, only anignorant savage; he regards. waras a sport, with its own rules andetiquette, not as the civilised in-dustry to which Germany hasraised it. Since then Englandhas sustained several furthershocks through the action of Ger-many in massacring women andchildren, and sinking the vesselsof neutral powers, without both-ering to know who wason board,or caring. Such little incidentsas firms1on the Red Cross, cuttingthe throats of the wounded,starv-ingprisoners of war, and drop-ping bpmjbs on ladies' schools,

thing v.:ong with the German isthat he l.as carried patriotism andwarfaiv to thoir logical conclu-sion. The true patriot believesthat his natioiis the salt of theearth, that no othernation posses-ses sufficient virtues to justfy itsexistence,and that, therefore,.hois doing a good deed by.riddinghumanity of those who lower theaverage of morals. Before' therise of Germany to a great worldpower, true patriotism was con-fined to the Dyaks, who artistic-allyadorned their bijou residenc-. es with the heads of the outland-ers, and to the Thugs who flou-rished in India soiroe years back.But, after all,Dyak head-huntingand Thuggee were only spoiadiesports. Germany has so far pro-gressed as to apply to their prac-tice the developments of modernscience and modern thoroughness.Germany has been unjustly ac-cused of beingsavage inhermeth-ods of warfare. As a matter offact,she has been the first nationto civilise it. To-day, thanks tothe deeds of the Germans, tlieworldknows what warfare meansunder civilised conditions. Eng-land suffered from the delusionthat it was possible to conduct awar in which fair play and chiv-alry had their place. Even withthe glorious example of Germanybefore her, she and her alliescontinue to wage war on obsoleteprinciples. It is England's devo-tion to the amateur status. Herarmy is an amateur one— amateurlargely in ijts composition; ama-teur wholly inits spirit. Germa-ny's is professional through andthrough. It is the old story of amatch between the Gentlemenand thePlayers;and the Germansknow better than to act as thegentlemeneven if theyknow how.But for all that, the matches onthat other arena have fallen tothe Gentlemen just as often asthey have to the Players; and itis possible that even with the ter-rific handicap of going to thewickets against a bowler who de-livers a cast-iron ballfull of prus-sic acid, England may score themore runs when stumps aredrawn.;

Mr Empson willalso meet competi-tors in the Instrumental Section, .'itthe Albion Hotel at io a.m. to-day.

Mr Farquhar Young will meetadult competitors in the sections judged by him in the Trinity Rooms, at

io a.m. to-day.

Rev. R. S. Gray will give that fineitem "The Heavy Brigade" (Tenny-son) as A dramatic recital at the TownHall to-night.

By special request, Mr FarquharYoung willagain give, that beautifulmonologue "Lonesome," also thesong "Father O'Flynn," and someScotch items. It is safe to say thatpatronsof theTown Hall to-nightvillhave one of the most delightful even-ing's entertainment ever placed be-fore a Greymouth audience.

An interesting-featureon To-night's

Demonstration Programme will bethe Piano Solo by a tiny dot, Urb.iKilpatrick, whose playing on Satur-day evening- excited great wonder i»the audience. Mr Ernest Empson.the Instrumental Judge, was delightedwith theperformance of one soyoung.He sums up the performance thus,"She made the pianosing."

Sir T. G. Shaughn'essey, President ofthe CanadianPacific Railway, in an iu-terview at New York stated that hehad arranged^ with official circles ivLondon for the.purchasing departmentof the railway to purchase as far as ispracticable war supplies for the Allies.His position in Canada "vvas analogousHe said that Canadians were not an.ueyed at the failure to. receive orderswhich had been given to the UnitedStates, but in future Canada would re-ceive her share.

Anti.recruiting pamphlets are beingcirculated in some of the country dis-tricts of New South Wales. One ex-amined was entitled"Two-Wars," andis unmistakeably of German origin.It has been designed to convince thereader that the Allies are fighting onthe side of capitalism,and fighting toshackle unborn-generations. That thepamphlet is widlely circulatedand isaccomplishing its object is evidencedby the frequency with \vhich its doc-trines arc advocated in camps andshearing sheds.

THE ARABICAMERICAN PRESS COMMENT.

(Reed. 3.20 p.m.)NEW YORK, September 11.

The morning papers are unanimousthat Germany's excuse for theArabic is too flimsy for acceptance.

The "World" declares that it isanother sinister symptom of Germaninsincerity. The Note retracts CountBernstorff's pledge and gives it thestatus of a scrap of paper. CountBernstorff's pledge is the diplomacyof a shyster lawyer.

The "Tribune" says: We must putan end to the murder of our .citizenson the high sea.

The Philadelphia "Press" statestliat Germany's suggestions that theArabic question be subrrittied to arbi-tration, and the acceptance of thecommander's . excuse/ are insolencethat

*no self-respecting Government

, should endure.The newspapers approve of Count

Dumba's dismissal, pointing outthat it is the lid of the Teutonic pro-paganda.

Count Bernstorff has issued a state-ment that he never gave Archibalda single paper or anything else,chiefly because it was not thoughtsafe.

A HEARTY RECEPTION. ;:

fPEK PBXU ASSOCLITIOK— COPTKIGHT j

WELLINGTON, September 12.;Fortunately the gloomy meterologi-

cal forecast given out for Wellingtonon Saturday was to some extent falsi-fied. The morningcertainly openedbadly with heavy rain, but it wasnot longbefore the sun broke throughthe overhanging clouds, and as fineweatheras could be desired prevailedfor the reception of the returnedtroopers aboard the Tahiti.

The transport was anchored in midharbour shortly after midnight, ehd

. at 7.30 a;m. the the Medical andRecord staffs were taken out by theJanie Seddon launch to go througha lot of details essential for the mili-tary administration prior to the land- iing of the officers and men.

At a later hour the Minister of De-fence (Hon. Jas. Allen) ahd Health(Hon. G. W. Russell) and the Attor-ney-General (Hon. A. L. Herdman),paid a visit .in company.with Bri-gadier-GeneralRobin,Surgeon-Gener-al Henderson and Lieut.-Colonel Pil-kington, andon their return the Press(limited to twelve representatives)were allowed the privilege of inter-viewing those oh board.

The preliminary arrangements fordisembarkationwere sufficienctly wellforward for the public reception pro-gramme to;he punctually.carried out.

The transport was berthed at trieGlasgow Wharf by 3 p.m., and afterthe convalescents arid others had hadthe opportunity of meeting relativesarid friends they, were driven to theTownHall in motorcars with a greatdisplay of enthusiasm on tn'e part ofthe civilonlookers, to be regaled withcongratulatory speeches by ,'"'theMayor and leadingMinisters, andalso light refreshments.

The proceedings altogether passedoff most,pleasantly to all concerned.In the evening a large number of

troopers proceeded by train to Auck-land, and the New Plymouth mdHawke's Bay contingents were ac-commodated withspecials this morn-ing.It had originallybeen intended that

] the Tahiti should proceed to Lyttel-ton andPortChalmers to-day, but thetransport's departure had to be de-

flayed-untilMonday afternoon.J Indeed, it is just possible that shemay not be able to get away untilTuesday morning.

This is not owing to any difficultywith the firemen and trimmers, butbecause it.is inconvenient for several .

[of the soldiers to be hurried off theship/ .'

The^period for which the crew, wereshipped expired at 5 p.m. on Satur-jday, and they were allpaid off, butthe majority of them will sign onagain before the steamer's departurefor the south. '..-"''

The Tahiti will now remain'in NewZealand waters.until required for fur-ther military duties,j

| Altogether the returned troops seemito have had a very satisfactory .voy-iage ;back to the Dominion..Apart from two days' rough weather

GERMANYS MINDAFTER A YEAR OF WAR

(The following article is the reportof an interview given to a correspon-

I dent by the citizen of a neutralcountry, who since the war began haspaid several visits to Germany,where he established friendly rela.tions with many public men in vari-ous social and political circles. Heis a man of impartial mind, strictlyneutral in his mental attitude, aswell as by nationality, and hisstatements on the German psyehlogyand position deserve serious atten-tion. He has also made a recentvisit to Russia.)The internal condition of Germany

has not yet reached a point wherethere is any apparent weakening of thenational strength to carry on the warwith grim and persistent energy. Fin.ancially her position is adequate tosupply of needs of the army and thenation as long as the waT may last.That is to say, by using her internalresources and by the'issue of paper,money to "her own people Germany isnot in any kind of desperate straitsfor gold. What will come after thewar, her inevitable,bankruptcy— unlessby victory she can secure enormousindemnities

—and her ruinous loss of

trade are hot, of course, a matter ofpresent discussion; but it should berealised by England that the war isnot likely to cease because of. financialdistress in her enemy's country. Foodsupplies ore also satisfactory. Apart'from meat, which is rising steadily inprice and becoming steadily scarcer,there is no lack whatever in the neces-saries of life; nor is there likely to be.Intensive culture is being adopted ona large scale, ahd smallplots of groundare being used by all the families whoown them for the purpose of growingfruit and vegetables, so that theamount of produce is being increasedto a very considerable degree. For allmilitary supplies, in ammunitions,guns,and other equipment the organisationin Germany is enormous in its scopeand perfect in its efficiency. .

A SADDENED NATION." It is not. in material things, but inthe psychology of the German people,that one may find any possibility of abreakdown of military ambitions, andeven in that respect there are no out.ward signs of weakness. On thewholethe Germans aTe confident of ul-timate victory, and cannot bringthem-selves to view the possibility of suingfor peace* Their successes in Russiaare, of course, chiefly responsible forthis optimism and they also are fairlysatisfied with the military situation onall sdes of their fronts. Nevertheless,underneath all this confidence in theactual facts of the war there is asenso of profound sadness at the enor. jmous and-terriblecost whichhas to be

'a.Av.i-'J

paid in human life. Almost every fam-ily in Germany is mourning for deadsens and relatives, and Icould quotemany cases .in which whole familieshave been practically annihilated.There is, for. instance, one lady inßer.lin. closely connected with the Court,who before the war used to give familytea-parties, attended, among others,byno fewer than seventeen young menwho were.her cousins. Of that num-ber sixteen have been killed, and tlieremainingone is at the front. A well,known statceman has lost fourteen ofhis close relatives, and although thosedoubtless are exceptional cases, theyare significant of the frigiurul losseswhich are draining Germany of herlife's blood. Intelligent, people -or allclasses fully realise this tragic priceof the war, and the future seems tothem full of uncertaint

-and distress.

They cannot perceive how the war isgoing to r-nd. The first flame of theirhatred for Englandhas died down,and,in spite of the ridicule and contemptflung originally at the British army inFlanders they acknowledge that GreatBritain will go on and on withoutyielding, so that Ihe war is likely tocontinue for a long time, with itsnever-ceasing slaughter of .Germany'smanhood. Already the nation has call,ed upon the first flower of youth.Nothing scemd to me more tragic thanwhenIsaw one of these youthfulregiments, entraining for the front inFlanders. They were all men ofundertwenty years-of age and many ofthem looked no more than .1(5. Greatpressure also is being brought to hoaron the schoolboys'of Germany to comefoward as volunteers, and to trainthemselves in military exercises. For-merly it was strictly forbidden to useany kind of influence upon the parentsof these boys, or the boys themselvesto enrol themselves in cadet corps,butthe Social Democrats are exceedinglyangry at. the secret forms of compul-sion now being exerted.

FUTURE OF GERMANY.So far the sadness of the people at

the broo-iling horror which is overthemhas no effect upon the military ordiplomatic situation. The leaders ofthe Social Democrats— men like Ed-ward Bernstein— are much more con-cerned with the future of Germany andthe progress of democratic libertiesafter the wai*j than with military ag-grandisement or immediate demandsfor peace. For the time being thatpower has been crushed by the mili-tarists. In my opinion there is noprospect whatever of a revolution inGermany either during or. after thewar, unless the Hohenzollern dynastyis overthrown by the Allies. The spiritof the German people is essentially an-tagonistic to revolution, and democracywill try to gain greater liberties with-out bloodshed or civil disorder. TheGerman Emperor is still very popular,although he has very little powereither in the war zone or in diplo-macy. He deliberately seeks to withw-clraw himself from the direct responsi-bility of military operations and ofpolitical negotiations. The CrownPrince is so unpopular that Germansprefer not to talk about him, or shrug-ging their shoulders at the mention ofhis name. There are many stories cur-rent abouthis way of life at the front,and it was a great shock to Germantraditions and sensibilities when hefailed to appear at the christenng ofhis new.born child. He has only beenhome once since the beginning of thewar.

The political ambitions of Germanyare represented by two opposing forces—

those of the Chancellor, Bethmann.Hollweg and Admiral von Tirpitz. TheChancellor has adopted moderate andpeaceful views as to the claims ofGermany in this war and the termslikely t.Q, result from it. He is opposedto the /pernfaiient domination of Bel-gium anA to,ambitious schemes of anImperial aggrandisement. Von Tir-pitz, on the other hand representstheextreme militarist party of the- Junk,ers, who' hold, that now is the time tosmash the British Empire and to en-rich,Germany out of the spoils of thisdestruction.His plan is to make peace■withRussia, to hurl back the armieson the eastern front, to the French andBritish lines to break through toCalais, and to concentrate all thepow-er of attack upon England alone. Tofurther this plan he and his party ad-vocate war with America -in'order thatthe submarine attacks upon Britishshipping may be unhampered by hav-ing to respect American vessels. Up.on the rival influences of the. Chancel-lor and.the Admiral will depend thefinal answer to the American Note.

FOG BOMBSHOW LONDON IS TO BE

DESTROYED.

According to "Neutral" in "TlieTimes," Germany is talking of thecoming invasion of London by a fleetol Zeppelins,possibly accompanied byother forms of aircraft. Some peoplethere have even gone so far as topredict a date for the destruction ofLondon, sc confident are they in thepower of the latest creation ofCountZeppelin, aided by a highly-trainedstaff of scientists.

The latest productions of these sci-entists is directly aimed at England.It is the Nebelbomben(fog bombs) tobo used "when the big attack caLondon" takes place. Workers "in the'factories, who aTe usually so secretive,are as enthusiastic as schoolboys overthe successful experiments made withthe new contrivance, which explodes inthe air and sheds over a large area afog.like cloud sufficiently dense to ob-scure the airship from the rays of themost powerful searchlights. The newinvention can also be used in daylight.

The writer goes on to say that in afamous cafe in Munich he heard thisdiscussion among a party who had beentalking about the Lusitania outrage.One said:—

"But this work of the submarinesis small compared with what the Zep-pelins are going to do. You have ob-served that the Zeppelins have beenmore active, and are going still far!ther and wider— and nearer London.Thus, you see, great things are in pre.partition. The British flici not .Dellevpthe power of our submarines. Nowthey have to. They have not believedin any realmilitary power in our Zep-pelins. That time will come."

"Well," said another of the party,"there has long been talk of that. Itis no good to talk."

"But Iknow,''" replied the first."Things have become different now.We will hit London. New machines,new bombs. Ican tell you a secret.One of our foremost chemical workshas been making something quite newfor the Zeppelin. You know the'stink-bomben' (asphyxiating bombs).Our chemical resources are not yet ex_hausted. And Ihave seen the newZeppelins.".

Later on he met a young man in atrain, who related how there hadbeen a new, big Zeppelin from Fried,richshafen flying over the plain. ,inperfectly clear air. It made the jour-ney to experiment with a new appara-tus, the purpose of which was to en.able th© Zeppelins to make raids overenemy country in the daytime. Thisapparatus was a kind of "nebel-bomb," with a timefuse. When thisbomb was dropped from the airship itexploded at a calculated distance fromthr ground, and, with incredible ra- ipidity sent out a fog, which absolutely j

shut out the Zeppelin from view. Itwas thus protected against attacks'from guns and aeroplanes,and wouldb* able to get away in comparativesafety."I saw it myself," he exclaimed.

"It was grand. The fog spread formany kilometres instantaneously. Withseveral bombs 20 kilometres squarecould be covered. Ihave carried thebomb myself. lam working in tliefactory.

''Later the writer was told by "a

friend that five or six new Zeppelinshad been constructed at Friedrichsha.fen, specially intended to be used inanair raid on London. It would not bea questionof any isolated airship drop-ping one or two bombs, but of a fleetof dirigibles. The journeys alreadymade to the neighbourhood of Londonhad given evidence of the feasibility of

[such a .plan, and the Hochst andBadensche chemical factories, the motsproficient in the world, were hard atwork for some purpose in connectionwith a plan of that kind. .

Then came a terrible avalanche ofshot and shell which broke the greatRussian armies and drove them back

The German advance intoRussia is avictory for German trade unions.It was not General Hindenburg or

General Mackensen but the workmenwho won it..

The war resolve sitself into a con-flict between the mechanics of Austriaand Germany and the mechanics ofBritain and France.

The sooner we thoroughlyunderstandthis the quicker the ultimate victory.Ibelieve that the British workman

is the better of the two if he choosesto put his back into it.

At the present time we require 80,.000 more skilled men in addition " to200,000 unskilled men and women.

We are not trying to display skilledmen by unskilled.Iwas recently talking to Field-Mar-

sal French who said that he had neverseen troops more fearless or contemptu-ous of death and more ready to faceany odds than those he commanded.Ihere ask you to back them up.The Admiralty, War Office and mv.

league does not involve the adoption ofthe principal of service abroad as a permanent part of the defence system.

This principle is merely advocatedowing to the necessity and as being anequitable means of meeting the pres-ent grave national emergency.

The heads of the Protestant Churcheshave issued a combined appealpressingseriously on the minds of those we caninfluence the duty of bearing a volun-tary part of the nations self sacrificeand self.discipline by abstaining fromalcohol during the war, and urgingmembers of churches to call upon theGovernment to meet the necessity ofthe hour and pass effective measures torestrict the sale of drink.

SUPREME COURTSATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th.

PRISONERS^ SENTENCED.

His Honor sentenced, prisoners as fol-lows:

—BREAKING AND ENTERING.

GeorgeMarks, found guilty of breakingand entering, with intent to commit acrime.

Mr Joyce, onbehalf of prisoner,pointedout that prisonerhad already been in gaolfor about ten weeks, that he had a wifeand family to support, and that although]convicted of being on premises nothing]had been taken therefrom.

Mr Hannan cited previous convictions,and in answer to his Honor said therewas no probation officer's report.

His Honor said the offence was one of avery serious nature and one the full pen-alty for which was imprisonment for life.The jury had found prisoner guilty, andin view of■'previous offences prisonerwould be sentenced to three years' im-prisonment with hard labour.

The prisoner collapsed on leaving thedock, and had to be assisted to the wingsof:the Court.

ROGUE AND VAGABOND.WilliamMitchell, fdu'nd guilty of being

a rogue and vagabond, without lawfulmeans of support, in reply to the usualquestion by the Court, asked the Courtto take into consideration the fact thathehad been in gaol close on thi*ee monthsawaiting trial.

His Honor said, looking at prisoner'srecord, it was a case for subsbantail termof imprisonment, and he sentenced theprisoner to twelve months with hardlabour.

Michael Holly Malavey, who pleadedguilty to a charge of theft of £95 fromthe Union Bank at Greymouth, whileholding the position of teller in the saidBank.

His Honor said it was not the usualthing to grant probation in cases of trust.There were no special circumstances tomitigate the seriousness of the offence.In view of his previous good record hewould make the term shorter, and sen-tence prisoner to a term of nine months.

The respondent, who did not appear,admitted having been separated from hiswife for over seven years on being servedwith summons in the present action..His Honor granted a decree nisi to bemade absolute in three months, costs be-ing allowed-petitioner on the lower scale.
