THE TELEPHONE IN AUSTRALIA.
How the Widely Scattered "Squatters"
Talk to Each ether.

An ingenious use of the telephone
has recently modified the intense mo-
noto1y of farm life in the 'squatter
districts" of Australia.
It would not have paid to lay wires
from farm to farm, for they are often
separated by many miles of open
country; but some ingenious person
hit upon the idea of using the wire
fences used on all the farms to con-
vey the current.
The lonely squatter and his family
can now indulge in friendly chat
with any one of hundred families
scattered around within radius OF
fifty or sixty miles. Games of whist
and chess are played at night over the
telephone by clubs organized for that
purpose.

this government that food stuffs shall
not be considered as contraband OF
war when consigned to private per
sons, even though they may go to the
country of a belligerant This is not
a new contention on the part of the
United States. but 1t is the first rec
ognition that it has had from the
great powers of Europe. The United
States took this position in favor of
neutrality of food-stuffs early in the
nineteenth century, and has contended
for it fully one hundred years. AS the
greatest producer of food stuffs in the
world, we have insisted on the right
to ship these products to consumers
other than belligerants, but our d.
plomacy has failed until now.
Judge Parker says that we have
been a world-power since the Revolu
ton, but the other powers of the
world have not so recognized us un-
til our Navy showed its capacity for
backing up American claims by cink-
ing the Spanish fleet at Santiago. All
Europe then recognized the United
| States Navy as a fighting machine
which must be respected. Since then
we have led in diplomacy.
When President Mckinley suggest
ed the open door in China, the other
powers consented: when he sent Cen
eral Chaffee to Pekin to rescue the
| American Minister, they followed,
When President Roosevelt said that
England and Germany might collect
their debts from Venezuela. but not
take a foot of territory, they agreed
and when he suggested arbitration
they readily consented.
The knowledge that the American
Navy can successfully fight has made
this nation as much respected on the
seas as the Monroe Doctrine made 1t
respected on this continent. 1t has
been the handmaiden of our diploma
cy, and 1t has aided in our prosperity
by giving assurance that we have per
uianetn peace because we have the
universal respect of other nations OF
The world. This peace will be per-
| manent so long as there is Republi-
can Congress to support the Navy
as it is today the most effic ent fight
ing machine on the high seas. 1t will
be broken when there Is Democratic
Congress to return to the cheesepar-
ng policy of cutting down TIE Navy.
