been blown off, too. am hoping that
most Of the ground provisions have
been spared.
But other than the actual damage
done, it is an unfortunate blow. TWEEN
~ ships were on their way hore and
would have come had II not been for
the hurricane. They would have lifted
an enormous quantity of fruit.
Sugar and rum are helping the
situation somewhat, and will help it
still more later on. Sugar does not
seem TO have suffered much in this
blow, and if we can develop 1t we
must do so. But there has been no
definite scheme for the expansion of
the sugar industry yet laid before the
country. The home government, how
ever. has just given us permission 10
export our sugar to America, and that
will be good news to the planters"

continued. lis not very well known 10
my countrymen, chiefly for the reason
that we have no direct steamship serv-
ice to that part OF the commonwealth,
but am convinced, and my colleague
agree with me, that there are dis
tinctly good prospects of trade be-
tween Japan and that part of Aus
tralia."
All the commissioners predicted
that Japanese purchases of Australian
wool, which are already large, would
increase amazingly in the future, and
on this point Mr.. Ukita said: AT pres
cnt we are manufacturing large guam
titles of khaki for the Russian army.
At the moment this trade is largely
based on war conditions, but when the
conflict is ended there will be great
outlet for the same trade in China.
We purchase from Australia now
something between 10000 and 100000
bales per annum. 1t will soon grow
into between 10000 and 100000
bales"

JAPS EXTEND
THEIR TRADE
In Foreign Countries through

Correspondence of Assocln,cd Prcss)
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 1.-The
presence of series of Japanese
steamers in sydney harbor-to say
nothing OF their calls at other COM
mOnwealth pOrts--attests how the
foreign trade OF the Japanese empire
is expanding Under the stimulus OF the
war and how Australia is assisting in
that expansion. Japan has greatly in
creased her exports to Australia,
mainly in the shape OF raw silk, cot
ton yarns and other cotton products,
matches, hats, buttons. pottery, toys
and glassware; and In the way of i'm
ports there has been decided ad-
vance in raw wool, raw cotton, rubber,
iron. lead. zinc and paper pulp.
The Nippon Iusen line OF steamers
has reinforced the feet plying be-
tween japanese and other Asiatic
ports and Australian cities and lately
it has decided to extend that service
to New Zealand The Nippon Yusen
Kaisha maintains a regular mail serv-
ice to Australia, and in addition it
runs direct cargo service to the COM
monwealth. .... ..

In the Inquiry into the Charge
Of Waste Of Public Funds
in Sydney.


SYDNEY, Australia. Sept. ..
Walter b Griffin, the Chicago archi-
tect who Is director of construction
and DESIGN TOR the new Australian
capitol at CaRberra, is one OF the
principal Witnesses in the inquiry
which the government Is making into
the charges that the department Of
home affairs has been guilty of a
waste o. public funds and ineptltude
in the building Of the capitol,
W. o. Archibald. the former min
lister for home affairs, VINO instigated
the charges directed against King
O'Mallcy. the present minister, and
Mr. Griffin. testified that when Mr.
Griffin took charge at Canherra he
had claimed sole control of the Capi-
tai public works and that the Ameri-
can threatened a lawsuit Tin 1910 u
he was interfered with in what he
considered his prerogatlyes under his
contract with the Australian govern
ment. Mr.. Archibald testified that he
gave the American to understand
that the minister of home affairs was
have q Square deal" He denied
lNtl ne Hdu ever TtltIIfu " WI r
Griffin as a Yankee bounder" but
declared he had caused friction by
rubbing departmental officers the
wrong way"
When MIR. Griffin took the stand
he said that he was appointed to car
ry out his own design for the capitol
and he iolt II the plan were mutilated
1t would reflect on his reputation.
Mr.. Griffin said; Ten per cent
OF my time has been devoted to tho
constructive effective work contem-
plated in the agreement and ninety
per cent has been frittered away in
defensive operations" The only
reason he could give why the officers
of the department showed hostility
toward him was that they believed
they were competent themselves to
carry out everything connected with
the capitol.
MIR. Griffin said that since his re
cent appointment as director of de-
sign and construction by Mr.. O'Mal-
ley his rights had been recognized
and MIR. O'Malley had issued instruc-
lions that no matters at the capitol
should be initiated without reference
to him.

him that if he desired to 80 to col

came to New York. He was eleven
years old but he was full of boyhood
enthusiasm and ready to grapple with
life in the busiest part in the world.
At first he was bcwildered for he was
alone and he had $500 in his pocket

begging, but Breen is not the type
to beg.
He had only a smattering of book

he has $1,000 in the bank-thc
earnings OF his own labor.
These youths have started right
and will, in all probability, lead
lives OF usefulness and be Of some
consequence. They will probably
attain wealth, for they are not dis
regarding the uncertain future Tor
the sake OF the shining present.
The wealthy, as a rule, are those
who began to save carly in life,
keeping their money at work, add
ing to it each year and looking for
new opportunities for investment.
In this way their fortunes have
grown.
Thrift is being taught some OF
the mountain people of North
Carolina in such a way as to bring
returns on a large scale. They
have a natural industrial talent,
and in order to develop it school
was started to teach the men,
women and children baskct-mak-
ing, pottery-making, wood-carving,
toy-making, weaving and needle
work. The products OF this school
now find a large market in north
crn cities, and the people are
learning to be self-supporting, and
by their own industry and thrift
are learning the essentials of good
citizenship. One OF these indus
tries is said to do business of
$4,000 a year, and has become a
very important enterprise.
Out OF the latent talent of these
people, rightly and wisely devcl-
oped, has this business grown and
an industrious and thrifty com
rnunity bccn established.
