Great Man of Affairs Becomes
The Prime Minister With Big
Record For Acts In Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. A.
William Morris Hughes, who this
week became Prime Minister of Aus
tralia consequent upon the assumption
Of the Commonwealth High Commits
sionership in London by Andrew Fish
Ell, has held strenuous and pictur-
esque career. He is a Welshman by
birth and has just entered upon his
Sind year. Until he was about ten
years old be knew but little English,
but when he had acquired better
knowledge of that language he became
a devoted student of it through the
| medium of classic works-the Bible
Shakespeare and Dickens for exam
Ele. Before he was 20 he was obliged
20 earn his living as a state school
teacher, and, his health having suf-
fered from the strain, he came to
Australia.
This step he took in 1884. For the
next ten years his life was a success
SIGN of struggles to find work, keep
it and retain his health. He was at
various times a boundary rider or
.. ranch hand; a railroad freight sta
ton hand; a she'd builder; a post-hole
digger; vineyard helper; an employe
in different capacities on coastwise
steamers and a driver; and once he
tramped 600 miles to obtain employ
n.ent only to be disappointed.
An illness finally turned him to
seeking his fortune in the city of
Sydney, where he had to peddle books,
mend umbrellas and do almost any
thing else which came to hand. At
this stage he became a socialist and
a single taxer-the latter from hear
ing lectures by Henry George who
was then on a tour of Australia and
reading Mr.. Georges work, Progress
and Poverty"
Upon the formation of the Labor
Party in New South Wales as a sep
arate entity Mr.. Hughes threw his
whole soul into the movement, and
he may quite properly be said to be
founder of the party as it exists
in Australia today. He spent three
years-1S9O-93- organizing the la
bor and trades-union elements in the
,tl'en colony and expressing upon them
the power which they would WELD if
they adopted the solidarity pledge"
which they, he and William A. Hol-
man, now Premier of New South
Wales, had originated. This work of
organization eventually resulted in
the acceptance of the pledge by the
laborites-and Solidarity" is the key
to the Labor Party's success at the
polls both in state and federal cleo
tons and the rule of guidance for the
distribution of offices.
In 1894 Mr.. Hughes was elected
member of the New South Wales legis-
/; tive assembly and he soon gained
a reputation as trenchant speaker
and hard worker. 1t was during his
service in this body that he introduced
and had passed the Early Closing act
Friend of Lab0rers.
In 1901 when the first elections we're
held for the government of the forth
coming COMMONWEALTH several
Australian colonies having voted to
form federation-Mr Hughes was
elected a member of the House of
Representatives by constituency in
Sydney which is composed mostly of

German Press Compliments Cow

AMSTERDAM, Feb. l9.-The German
newspapers continue to comment on
the war zone decree and to applaud
the Government for the tone of its
reply to the Tn ted States. The Vos.
sische Zeitun1, which often reflects the
Views OF the Government, says:
The new German measures at sea
are directed against two Of the allies
of Great Britain. one is the American
traffic in arms and the other is siarva-
ton. We need no American arms and
we shall make the struggle with staIva-
ton in the firm consciousness that We
will pull through even If not one sin
gle grain OF wheat reaches us. Great
Britain, as a result of our blockade,
must experience severe damage"
The LOkdldH @ei0cr says
February 10 marked the beginning
Of a defensive fight Of a people threat
ened with s~tarvaSnn. a people which
must fight for existence n which In
their fight for lie must and will push
