WILL PLAY
HER PART cREpITAeLY
IN THE WAR

Melbourne. Australia, Dec. 19.-
Notwithstanding the limitations i'm.
posed by the peoples verdict in refus-
ing to accept conscription, the govern
ment believes Australia will continue
to play her part creditably in this
war;, said Premier Hughes in recent
speech at the Lord Mayors dinner in
Melbourne.
"The result of the referendum, he
said, settled one point, and one point
ionly-that we may not have resourse
to compulsion in order to provide re-
Inducements for oversee service dur
ing the wor-and of course 1t cannot
affect In any way Australia's obliga-
tion's to the empire. The people mis-.
led by gross misrepresentation have
declined to entrust the government
with the powers asked for. The decis-
ion of the people will profoundly af.
feet the future not only of this young
Commonwealth, but of democratic
government generally. Certainly this
refusal on the part Of a free people
to make sacrifices to defend their free
dom will be used as a proof Of the un-
wisdom Of submitting great national
issues directly to the people. But
while we regret the decision, consid-
ering the odds against us there is no
need to be discouraged"
Mr.. Hughes attacked the anti-con-
scriptionists in this language: what
must be the feelings of ten OF thous-
ands OF loyal Australians who, misled
by the outrageous misrepresentation
of designing men, voted No when
they read In the enthusiastic approval
of their action by the German press?
Is there one man or woman who vot-
ed No and who loves Australia who
does not feel Inundated and ashamed
to see In what light their action is
regarded In Germany"

monwealth. chief Of which was q

threatened strike Of coal miners, Mr..
Hughes said:
"The strikes and upheavels, politic-
al and Industrial, we see around us are
the manifestations of deliberate policy
which aims at destroying society a.
it now exists. They are the work OF
men who, calling themselves by many
names or by no name, are in effect
anarchists, and assisting them for
their own purposes are certain SEQ
tions who are against the empire.
What must be the duty OF any govern
ment worthy of the name under such
circumstances? It Is to carry on the
war with vigor. to prove to the empire
and to the world that the heart OF Aus
tralia beats true. that 1t owes its ex-
istence to the empire and realizes that
only through the defat Of Germany
can the Commonwealth maintain Its
existence and achieve its destiny

BOMBARDIER WELLS DEFENDS TITLE
Put Dick Smith Away in Third Round for Heavyweight Championship Crown of England - SulIivanO O'Keefe Fight Give and Take Affair.

London, Feb. 21, 9.07 D. m.-Bom- bardier Wells knocked out Dick Smith in the third round of their bout to- night for the heavyweight champion ship of England
 Wells, who began nervously, soon regatned confidence when he found that he could outbox Smith and landed several left jabs on his opponent in the first round.
 In the next round Wells fought Smith all over the ring, landing jabs and swings when he liked. Soon after the opening of the third round Wells got home a hard right uppercut, which put Smith to the floor where he re- mained "out" for several minutes.
 The Sullivan -O'Keefe fight was a give and take affair. There were sew round. The men seemed well match ed but for three rounds Sullivan plain ly had the better of it.
 HonorS were even In the next six rounds; then O'Keefe started hurri- cane fighting, in which he demon strated that he was Sullivan's master at infghting. The tenth, eleventh, rounds were O'Keefe's. He received a severe cut over the ye in the f1f- teenth, however, and in the sixteenth was nearly knocked out by a vicious right swing. The bell came to his res cue
 In the seventeenth, also, O'Keefe was badly punished and there was much clinching in the next two rounds In the final round the men fought hard and the exchanges apparently favored Sullivan. There was loud dis approval from some quarters when the referee gave the decision to O. Keefe.

Must Have AIbumInous Rood.

The fact that mosquitoes so con tinually harass rich-blooded creatures is due to the fact that they cannot lay eggs without the albuminous food which is thus secured. In tropical countries the greatest enemy of the rsalaria-bearing mosquito is a species of bat which is protected from the in- sect's bite by its strangely shaped hairs. The bat is very swift of flight and the mosquitoes, especially those which have already made supper of blood are their ideal food.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Dealings Were the Smallest of ArS
 Session Thus Far This Year.

New York, Feb. 21-There was lit tie in today's perfunctory stock mar ket to warrant detailed or specific comment. Dealings were the smallest of any session thus far this year and their significance was in keeping with the meaSre turnover. TOmorroW's hol- iday, coming so soon after the dull weekend, caused a further exodus of the professional element and public interest was wholly lacking. Interna tional affairs, especially the reported delicate situation between Washing ton and Berlin. served as an addi- tfonal deterrent and the list was left largely to it's own devices.
 Opening prices showed Q number of irregular gains, mostly trivial, fol lowed by general declines, only few of which were retrieved later. Mani pulation of specialties was tentatively resumed, sugar shares scoring sub stantial gains. South Porto Rico Su- gar rose 3-4 points to the new rec ord of 172 3-4 and Cuban-American Sugar to 199.
 American Zinc, which led last weeks spectacular movement in met als, in respect to it's advance, was moderately active and Butte and Su- perior and American Smelting were relatively prominent and firm. Mer- cantile Marine issues were in further demand, the injection of new and in 1uential interests in the proposed re- organization suggesting a nearly set clement of long pending difficulties.
 U. s. Steel fell to an obscure place, being superseded by half a dozen hitherto inactive stocks, despite bull ish gossip regarding earnings for the current quarter. War contract shares as a whole yielded one to two points from last weeks final figures and rails ceased to exercise the slightest in huence upon speculative sentiment
 Absolute stagnation prevailed dur ing the last half of the session, rails falling into complete oblivion. The tone at the close was heavy. Total sales amounted to 285,O shares.
 Domestic developments were again of constructive character, with enormous gains in western traffic and increasing car shortage. All forms of foreign exchange were lower, except fires. Rumors were current of fur ther gold exports to South America and Holland.
 Such trend as the bond market man. ifested was towards slightly lower levels. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $2,520, 900.
