NEW PROMENADE FOR LONDON.
Millbank Project on the Thames
Now Nearly Completed.
Indence Of The Star

AViNAhH correspondence VI lHe SldI
LONDON, October 81, 1912
1t is now possible to obtain a definite
idea Of the changed aspect which a con-
siderable part of Westminster presents
now that the great Milbank Improvement
scheme is, after several years work, on
the point of completion. 1t is expected
that practically the whole of the work
will be finished at the beginning of the
new year. 1t has been threefold in char
acter-the provision of a new stretch of
Thames embanknlent. 600 yards long; the
extension of the Victoria lower gardens
over an area of about three acres, and
the widening and remodeling of Mill
bank street, running parallel with the
river.
That thoroughfare used to be narrow
and tortuous, piercing through dingy
buildings. Now 1t is seventy feet wide
and as straight as the reach of the
Thames Is at this point. The unsightly
warehouses and wharves that rose upon
the river bank have vanished and gone
too are the squalid buildings on the north
side of the road, fine private residences
and handsome blocks of offices taking
their place. When the work il finished
Londoners will have splendid riverside
promenade. tree-planted. stretching about
two and a half miles between Lambeth
and Blackfriars bridges broken only by
the great pile of the houses OF parliament.

CARL LUMHOLTz PLANS
TOEXPLORE NEW GUINEA
Proposed Expedition to the
Second Largest Island in
the World.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star

CHRISTIANIA, October 26, 1872
The Norwegian explorer, Carl Lum-
holtZ, has laid before the Geographical
Society Of Christiania his new scheme
which Is to explore the interior of the
worlds second largest island, New
Guinea NJ. Lumholtz is man we'll
known to his countrymen, having thrice
conducted expeditions to Mexico where
he has lived for considerable time
among Indian tribes. People who have
had occasion to follow the work pre-
viously done by NJ. Lumholtz in Mexico
are sure that he is the fittest man for
such task. They know that he is in
position to prepare himself for all the
difficulties and obstacles which an expedi-
tion to New Guinea will have to contend
with, and that he will never hesitate to
encounter difficulties when scientific
trophies are to be obtained
NJ. LumholtZ declared that his expedi-
ton would start for Batavia, whence it
viii proceed to Borneo At Borneo NJ.
Lumholtz intends TO stay for three to
four months, to get acquainted with the
country and choose sixty to seventy good
and reliable carriers of the Dajak tribe.
The country which NJ. Lumholtz desires
to investigate is situated on the east side
OF the W1lhelmina summit, discovered by
the Dutch explorer, NJ. LorentZ. He IN
tends to look for companion who can
draw maps, take photos and develop
them: further he must be able to serve
an apparatus for cinematography Be
sides this man he wishes to have two
Norwegian assistants to make biological
and botanical studies. The expedition is
expected to last for one and a half years;
it will leave Europe before the end of this
year
After the lecture the plan Of NJ Lum-
holtz was supported by the highest
recommendations of four professors of
the university. The Geographical Society
in London is supporting the expedition
with gift of $3.50. which will be added
to the fund now being raised in this city

Figures Are Disputed.

The figures are disputed by the local
trade on the ground that the wrong
period of the year was chosen for COM
parison, and other statistics are put for
ward to prove that during the last export
season consumers in Australia could
purchase butter at prices much below the
value actually obtained In London.
These discussions. however. do not con-
vince the housewife, who knows that she
is being bled extensively by retailers
and .multiple-shop' men.
The most remarkable document the con-
sumers' revolt has produced in this part
Of the world is the report Of the New
Zealand cost OF living commission issued
recently. Its findings are most COM
plete confirmation of the statements of
those who have led the revolt. Here are
some OF the most important.
Rent-Increased by 20 per cent in fif-
teen years for houses of the same style
and quality.
Clothing Increased by 20 per cent in
price.
Boots-Poorer class of boots increased

HIGH COST OF LIVING
AROUSES AUSTRALIA
Urgent Appeals Are Being
Made to Government to
E1Do Something"
,reign Correspondence Of The Star.


MELBOURNE, October l. 1912
The problem Of problems in Australia at
the present time is the cost of living 1t
rises daily in the rents and the prices of
necessaries Of life, and government, both
state and federal is being pressed by all
classes to do something to stay the
process. The price of meat. owing to the
operation Of local rings and combines, the
effects Of the drought early in the year,
with it's destruction Of about 1O,0OO,O0O
sheep. and the advance in labor costs. is
the most troublesome circumstance of
the many that make up the whole prob
lem.
The Australian consumer has been
aroused to indignation by the publication
of figures showing that mutton, beef and
butter from his own country are often
cheaper in London tEan in Melbourne
and Sydney. The labor minister of GUS
toms quoted in parliament last week sta
tistics demonstrating that the wholesale
rates in London in April, June. July and
August for butter were S4.25 to $3.50
per cwt. cheaper than those rates in Mel
bourne.

PROCLAMATION Is DELAYED.
President Taft Yet to Issue His
THANKSGIVING Day Message.

owing to the absence of President
Taft from the capital, the issue of the
usual Thanksgiving day proclamation
may be delayed this year until after
the elections. a condition almost with
out precedent.
The records show that these annual
proclamations. designating the last
Thursday ip November as day Of ma
tional Thanksgiving, invariably have
been issued in the years Of national
elections several days, at least, before
elections. In 1908 the proclamation
was issued October 81 in 1904 Novem-
Der l and in l,UO October 80.
1t is possible that President Taft may
act in this matter this evening or to-
morrow morning. but SO far as known
no arrangements have been made to
that end.
