 of Mexico. Sight your machine for point about 125 miles west of New Orleans and about eight miles south of New Iberia on the Southern Pa cific railway. Pick out of the marshy plain the hill known as Avery Island and drop gently down so as not to Tighten the birds We are now In Longfsllow's "EvanEeline" country, and in one of the great bird homes Of the world. What is more important, we are right above a mountain of the purest rock salt. It contains enough of the mineral to salt the tails of all X the birds upon earth, to preserve all '{the meat and fish and other food h.roducts we shall send to our allies ir Europe. It contains enough to furnish all the salt we need for munitions and Fertilizers and other. industrial uses. and enough to make counties mil lions of statues like that of Mrs Lot on the shores of the Dead sea.
 We have come here to investigate the salt, but our way to 1t is through the homes of the birds and we will see them in passing. One of the own CTS of Avery Island is MT. John A. Me- Ilhenny, president of the civil service commission, whose chief hobby is the preservation of the game birds of the United States. He has a preserve on the hill known as Avery Island, and 100000 wild fowl come here every sea- son to breed. Not far away is Marsh Island, which Mrs. Russell Sage has turned into a winter home for tEc birds. It has about 10000 acres, and it's wild fowl run into the millions.
 We leave our airplane at McIlhenny Station and go by great ponds in- closed in wire netting, on the shores of which 15.000 ducks of many va rieties are matching their eggs The nests are old cracker boxes cover ed with brush. We see geese and other wild fowl as we pass the preserve and . make our way up the mound or hill to Nthe tall shafthouse, which stands over cfhe salt mine.

At the bottom we walk out into galleries walled with salt and make our way through one vast chamber after another, all cut out of this crys- tai white rock. The galleries are 50 wide that two Pullman trains could be run through any one of them without touching. The ceilings are 60 feet high and each of the great rooms has a cubic capacity equal to that of a five story building. There are scores ci

JAPAN INTERESTED IN

An article in the Auckland Star in

that is marked out by Japanese in

rapidly. During the last few months
representatives of leading houses in
New Zealand have been sent to Japan
to study the conditions with the idea
Of opening up very much closer COM
mereial relations with japanese. man
ufacturers. The newspaper article
mentioned states in part:
"A japanese merchant who has
spent some time in touring Australia,
and who is at present in Auckland, in.
tends to leave shortly for Japan. He
is emphatic In urging upon his own
government and those of Australia
and New Zealand the extreme neces,
sity for combination and organized
effort in maintaining the trade of the
Pacific. He favors sustained striving
for the betterment of the people di.
rectly interested In the Pacific-Amer-
leans, Australians, New Zealanders,
and Japanese

lands wealth in minerals said this
merchant, and it is fitting to point
out that Japan needs zinc and copper
perhaps more than any other metals
at the present time. Her supplies of
iron are obtained from China-three

freight on this import is not very
great"

BALFOUR TELLS
What ALLIES ARE
Fighting FOR
ASSOCIATED Press By o. s. Naval con1IunL
cation SsrVicel


LONDON, Eng. July 3l.-ln an ad-
dress delivered before the house OF
commons yesterday Foreign Secretary
Balfour declared that there should
be no uncertainty in the language
used in Great Britain as TO the aims
OF the country in the great war no
matter how ambiguous might be the
utterances Of others.
We did not enter this war with
any selfish purpose or with the in.
tent to secure indemnities," he said.
I'VE entered it because we hoped to
see Europe made freer as It's result.
"Great Britain was compelled to
assist France to recover Alsace and
Lorraine Of which she had been de-
spoiled and which have been since
controlled by a German despotism.
Until Germany is made powerless
or is made free from the dominating
influences which precipitated this
war upou tina world peace in Europe
Is impossible, for any peace that is
suggested by Germany would only
open the way to and provide for a
new war
"On the other hand il the peace
that follows this war is one which
America and Great Britain can ap-
prove it will lead to permanent set
Element and to a sense Of security
such as the world has never before
known.
= Germany must woEk&out its own
salvation and perhaps In the end 1t
may be added to the list OF nations
which, before this terrible war, were
unable to conceive how a war Of this
sort could be provoked by single
community.
When Germany, comes up to the
level Of the United States and Great
Britain In that respect, and we hope
that this may be soon, the greatest
disturber of the peace of the world
will have been squieted and forever
eliminated as a factor for the promo
ton of bloodshed, rapine and disas-
ter" -:
It is to attain these objects, he
says, that Great Britain entered the
war and is now fighting on to secure
them and it is with the same high,
noble and laudable purpose that the
United States, after long suffering
patience, finally cast its lot with the
Allies.

ready on the ground and more being
rapidly sent out, the work OF erect
ing quarters for the surveying party
at Kaneohe is u-der way and the first
step towards permanently paving the
belt road is fast taking shape.
While the $500, eco which the legis-
lature appropriated for the work is
not yet available, the city and county
has advanced $4,000 in order that
the work may not be delayed and It
is hoped. that when that Is used up
the larger amount will be ready.
The $4,000 is exclusively for the
surveying Of the route which viii be
pushed forward as fast As possible.
Everything to facilitate the progress
Of the work is being done, including
the furnishing Of transportation for
the party in order that they may
work from early dawn until dark.
Two buildings are to be erected, one
for the chief and the other to be used
as an office, dining room and kitchen,
while the second floor will be the
sleeping quarters.
The principal problem in the mat
ter of construction which will have
to be solved is the supply Of rock.
The rockSin the Koolaupoko district
