Recruiting for the Aus
tralian Imperial Expe-
dictionary Force Completed

Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 29.-Re-
cruiting for the Australian Imperial
Expeditionary force, which is the off,
cial title of the army of 10000 which
the Commonwealth is devoting to the
aid of the Empire, is already finished
in some of the states.
While in some districts a special
effort was made to get the bushmen
from the country, the cities have fur
nished the greater part of the mater
ial. Owing to the system of eompul
sorry military training which the
Commonwealth put in force year or
two ago, Australia is much better
qualified to raise a volunteer army
than was the case at the outbreak of
the Boer war when no such compre-
hensive system existed.
The force will be made up of a
light horse brigade and a division OF
infantry, 2,315 horses and 10 guns,
and the division of 1853 men includ-
ing officers; 5162-horses and 10 guns
or a grand total of 1879 men and
officers, 7,477 horses and 70 guns to
which are to be added 221 other officers
and men who are to be employed in
various capacities. The volunteers
have been taken from the states on
territorial basis and therefore New
South Wales and Victoria have con-
tributed the most men.
The commander is Brigadier Cen
eral w. T. Bridges. In the force will
be members of the graduating class

lege at Duntroon, New South Wales

ilton the finest institution of it's kind

to give these cadets a taste of actual
warfare with an idea of its proving OF

son of Joseph Cook Prime Minister Of
Australia is, among those composing
the force.
Upwards of % steamers including the
Aorangi which has been running to
San Francisco for the Union Steam
ship Company of New Zealand and the
Medic and Cevic of the White Star
Line are under requisftion by the gov
eminent and are being converted into
transports as rapidly as possible.
Practically all the other leading Brit
ish lines have been drawn upon for
vessels.
Owing to the large number of horses
needed for the force the Minister for
Defence, Senator Millen, has appealed
for voluntary contributions of those
animals, and many ranchmen and
ranching companies have responded.
Among these has been Sydney Kid
man, one of the cattle and sheep
kings" of the antipodes who gave 200
military remounts.

Effect of the Great War Is
Being Seriously Felt in
Peru and Northern Chill
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

(Associated Press Correspondence
Panama, Sept 15.-TraVelers reach
ing here from the West Coast of South
America report that the effects of the
European war are keenly felt in Peru
and Northern Chill. Mining in the
great nitrate fields is practically sus-
pended owing to the loss of the usual
European markets, and since the nit
rate region is practically a desert, in
capable of supporting any other indus
try, the miners face starvation or mi
grafton as their alternatives.
The large import and export houses
such as at Lima and Callao are doing
very little BUSINESS.
Scarcity Of gold or other suitable
circulating medium has been a diff
Guilty in Peru and apparently it has
been impossible for the government to
agree upon an adequate relief measure
that would bring better conditions.
AS result exchanges have increased
in value and it has been found neces-
sary TO declare a partial moratorium
which has been extended from time
to time.
In all of the West Coast ports of
consequence there are idle German
steamers which previous to the Euro
pean conflict played an important part
in the commerce of South America
British steamers which have shared
with the German companies, the
carrying trade of Western South
America, still are calling regularly at
these ports, but owing to the lack of
business are carrying very little
freight and few passengers.
