BEST PAID TROOPS
 FROM NEW ZEALAND
Soldiers May" Receive $0 Per
 ! Week Under New Law

Wellington, New Zealand. March 20.-From the fact that New Zealand soldiers in this war may now be paid up to $10 a week above their ordinary wages it is asserted in the dominion that they are the high est paid soldiers in the world. The special allowance is for men who can establish that their civil obligations justify their receiving it. And it is payable alike to ''wents" and "sents' .as volunteers or drafted men are called. One of the grounds entitl- ing soldier to additional payment is: Expenses in respect of the man. agement of his business during his military service"
 Prior to the new grant the weekly rate of pay for a married private in the New Zealand expeditionary force ranged from $10.50 for a man with wife only to support to $17 for a man with a wife and five children. Some time ago the Recruiting Board decided to refuse enlistment to any more married men with more than three children. Under the new scheme a private with wife only 'may' re- ceive $20.50 a week.
 The first draft of the dominion's s compulsorily enlisted men to the number of over. 1000 went into camp the latter part of January These men were chosen by the ballot or drafting system; that is. by the use of numbered marbles and card in-

cials as a factor in choosing the wo- men recruits. Another grade of work for which they maye be designated is that of radio telegraphy and other communication divisions.
 Difficulty of obtaining men stenogra- phers and clerks for the navy from among the regular enlisted personnel caused the question of women's em- ployment to be taken. By filling the positions on shore with women the de- partment expects In time of emer- gency to relieve the men for fleet ser- vice and sea duty.
 It was learned definitely before the cabinet meeting that tho president. while considering deliberately all phases of the situation. had not finally made up hi4 mind on any for ward step beyond the active prepara- tion of the navy for any eventuality.
 For the present. President Wilson is taking the position that Ut all events the nation must be placed in a better state of preparedness because he believes that from practical standpoint Germany is making war on this country.

REcoGN1zEs SOLOMON.
South African Prime Minister Aims to
 Secure Peace in British Colony.


 Secure Peace in British Colony.
 London, March 1s.-General Botha, prime minister of the Union of South Africa, has recognized Solomon, the hereditary chief of the Zulus as ad- ministrative head of the tribe, step which. students here expect, will bring about peace between the war ring natives in the British colony.
 How Solomon was given the task is interesting. The prime minister, who Is also minister of native af- fairs, summoned Solomon-son of the once famous Dinizulu and grandson of Cetewayo-and informed him that he had decided to appoint him to ad- minister the Zulu tribes. General Botha told him that he was being sent to his fathers district "to maintain peace and not to make trouble. You must understand very clearly that you are not being sent to raise military kraals or impis. I want peace now and rest for the Zulu nation"
 Solomon Is to be directly responsi- ble to the government for the tribe, and he was urged to promote educa- ton and do everything possible to im- prove it's petition and character.

TUBERCULOSIS DYING OUT.

 Military Camps.
 Berlin, March 2O.-Exact figures regarding the number and percentage of tuberculosis prisoners of war in the scores of German camps have been collected as 8 result of the charges, widely circulated abroad, that prisoners are Intentionally in- fected with this disease. The figures show that the French suffer most of all from tuberculosis, but that the disease on the whole is on the wane.
 In the first year of the war there were discovered in German camps 3,542 tuberculosis Frenchmen, or two per cent. of the number of pris- oners: in the second year there were 2,094, or 0.75 per cent. In those two years there were transferred to Switz- erland 1,592 Belg1ans. 1,262 English men, 11.316 Frenchmen. Suffering from tuberculosis among this num- Der there were 12O Belgians, 94 Eng lishmen and 800 Frenchmen. There died later of the disease in Switzer- land two Belgians, Al French, and no Englishmen.
 Conditions in the camps were sufH- ciently excellent so that the Increase in tuberculosis from the beginning of the war until thes end of July, 1916. remained behind that of the cfvn population of Europe.

TO STRENGTHEN FRIENDSHIP
Japanese Officials See Mutual Benefit in German-American Diplomatic Rupture.

Tokio, March 20.-That the break ing off of diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany will be factor in promoting trade CO operation and generally better rela- tions between the United States and Japan, is the view expressed by Ki- yoshi Nakashoji, the minister of agriculture and commerce. MT. Ma kashoji was one of a number of bus mess and financial leaders interview ed by Japanese press on the probable effects of the stand taken by America, Many divergent views were expressed but none of the men interviewed foresaw any economic damage to Japan in the new world situation.
 MT. NakashoU expressed the opin- ion that the break between the United States and Germany would strengthen this fact, together with the new spirit of cooperation, will result in the smooth working of enterprises for the development of China.
 It is beyond doubt, the minister said, that the rupture will mean greater prosperity for Japan's trade, as the Pacific and Indian oceans will bc the only sea routes in the world free of danger from enemy subma- ,.ines. MT. Nakashoji believed that the break would not have any great effect on Japan's export trade in, silks, tea, and other products to the United States.
