LONDON, September Is, 1910
The government of western Australia
has still under its consideration the pro-
posal for the allotment of territory suf-
ficient for the settlement of a million Rus
sian Jews.
Mr. Zangwill on being interviewed said
he had long conversation with Sir New
ton Moore, the premier of western Aus
tralia, when that gentleman was in this
country, in the course of which the prop
osition was made. "Sir Newton Moore Is
considering the proposal" said Mr.. Fang
will, land that is where the matter stands
at the present moment.
''Sir Newton Moore seemed personally
to favor the proposal" Mr.. Zangwill con-
tinued. but whether the scheme will ma
terialize remains to be proved. 1t is prac-
tically the same scheme that was on the
tapis some time ago. when East Africa
was suggested as possible colonizing
ground for Jewish refugees, and that had
the protection and approval Of the British
government, just as the present scheme, ]
suppose. would have.
western Australia has million square
miles of territory and the population OF
small provincial town. There is no
doubt that Australia needs population, if
only as a defense against the Chinese

LONDON, September II, 1910.
There could be no more fitting memorial
to Miss Florence Nightingale than that
which ]. G. Wainwright, treasurer of
st. Thomas Hospital, has undertaken to
organize.
Not only was Miss Nightingale's life
long interest centered in the training and
the welfare of nurses, but there Is a
widespread desire among those members
of the profession who were trained under
the scheme which she instituted to make
the proposed memorial their own and at
the same time to make it an extension
Of Miss Nightingales lfework
Plan Nurses Memorial.
To a representative of the Westminster
Gazette G. Q. Roberts. the secretary Of
St Thomas Hospital, said that all the
details of the scheme were at present in
nubibus. The. precise form which the me-
mortal would take and it's ultimate sue
cess would depend on the support it re-
ceived.
What the nurses want" he continued,
lis a nurses memorial-one to which they
themselves will contribute and one which
will be a permanent benefit to their call
Ing. The treasurer Of this hospital is
most anxious to have it known that it is
not desired to identify the scheme with
st. Thomas Hospital nurses or with
Nightingale nurses to the exclusion of
others
From Entire Profession.
The memorial must be one from the
whole profession, and to this end individ-
ual schools wherever they are, will be
able to do much.
"All nurses" he continued, appreciate
what they owe. to Miss Nightingale.
Nightingale probationers have trained
other nurses, and so on until the level
throughout the whole profession has been
raised. 1t WILL be fitting tribute to the
leader of the movement If those who
have been aided by her help others In

Correspondence OF The Star.


BERLIN, September Ia, 1910
At meeting of the German Metal
Workers Union. held at Hamburg, IL was
stated that up to the present twenty-one
shipyards are affected by the lockout in
the German shipbuilding trade. The action
of the league of employers in the German
metal industry in supporting the yard
owners has been answered by the Berlin
Union of Metal Workers, which has voted
a sum of $1,000 strike pay for the
yard hands.
According to computation of the Ber-
lin socialist organ, the Vorwarts, the to-
tai number of workmen affected by the
strike is something over $1,000. To ar
rive at an exact figure u.s. however. i'm.
possible since a certain number of the
strikers have obtained work away from
home. In Hamburg nearly 5000 men are
said to have gone on strike. but of these
about 14OO have obtained work else
where. For the other ports the following
figures are given: Flensburg, 1.2J0: Lu-

districts infected with that scourge they
should prove much more valuable than

Librarian Struggles With It.

Meantime the librarian of the Bureau of
American Republics got hold Of the cable
and read it in Spanish, then read it in
Portuguese and then in English, and
finally had q translation made Of it into
Esperanto. From the last copy it was
possible to figure out almost anything.
He took 1t home two nights, despite the
government eight-hour law. and sat up
and played solitaire with the various YER
sions. Finally. he came to a sage con-
clusion. There is in the Argentine Repub-
lie a committee of agricultural defense,
and he decided that was the sort of a
fence that was referred to. The cable
had said mine forty-five centfmeters"
wide, and he decided that instead of be-
meant that the fence" was to be forty
five centimeters wide, which is about
thirty inches, and that the mine was
the gauge number referring to the thick
ness.
BY looking up some Of the back news
papers where the appropriation for the
fence" was made the librarian found
that what they really wanted was sheet
zinc. nine gauge. which is about the
thickness of a tomato can. and that they
were going to make shallow zinc trays
to be filled with kerosene and drawn by
horsepower which would scoop up and
exterminate the grasshoppers. That is
the way they fight them in the west when
the grasshopper plague gets bad.
Still a Little Doubtful.
Seeing that the population of the Ar.
gentine is only about 100000, and that
such an order as was sent would mean
about four yards Of sheet zinc to every
resident of the country, the authorities
are still a little doubtful as to whether
that part of the message is right or not
But the tangle is Strengthened out now.
and the only trouble from an American
standpoint is that the bids had to be pre-
scented last week, and there is no chance
on the deal. now that they know what it
means.

Problem for officials.

What the Argentine Republic wants
with 1900 miles Of wire fence to fight
grasshoppers is problem that has been
worrying the State Department, the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Department
of Commerce and Labor. the Bureau of
American Republics and the Argentine
officials here ever since the receipt of the
foregoing cabiegram by the Argentine
| legation.
1t was thought that 1t might be some
such a complication as when recently
the Secretary of Agriculture was ordered
| by Congress to put up barbed-Wire
| fence on the Mexican boundary to keep
out cattle ticks. 1t was subsequently
| discovered that Congress intended to
keep out the cattle that carried the ticks.
But there was not even such lOophole
in the recent order from Argentine.
| The cable order came about a week
| ago and said as plain as typewriting
could make 1t that the government want
| ed bids Immediately on 20,0OO,OOO meters
| of wire fencing for defense against grass
hoppers. The charge of the legation,
Senior Villegas, was up in Newport, and
the counselor of the legation put 1t uI
| to him. He had no excuses to offer for
the condition the department of agri-
culture might be in at home, and the

American Republics, but John Barrett,
director Of the bureau, was out of town,
and the bureau and the legation had to
fall back on the State Department.

Character of journalism.

Most of the publications are decent.
although some of them have a strong
yellow hue. \ few are scandalous and
even obscene and would not be tolerated
even in Paris.
The constitution does not discriminate
between competent criticism and scan
dalous abuse. Hence the police take the
liberty TO do so. Editions of foreign
newspapers containing personal attacks
upon members of the government have
been suppressed Nobody complains about
this except the offenders
But the men who were asSaSSinated
were not scavengerS or adventures Or
hIackmaiers or scandal-mongers. They
were well known citizens of culture and
high character. While their comments
upon the policy of the government and
conduct of the Committee of Union and
Progress were often cauStic, and they
used singing epithets, neither of them
ever violated the laws of propriety.
