OTTAWA, March S.-New Zealand's
desire to retain former German Samoa
is indicated in a dispatch received here
to-day from Wellington by way of Lon

The dispatch quotes Premier Massey
of New Zealand, as saying he planned
to attend the Imperial War Credit Con-

duty" because his country was anxious
as to the disposition Of Samoa after
the war.
The Premier said that Samoa, if re-

25 TONS OF ETHER
 THAT'S ONE ITEM

Only the quickest action imaginable, which included the shipment of tre- mendous quantities of hospital sup plies from Red Cross stores in France, as well as large purchases in Italy, made the emergency work of the American Red Cross possible during the recent distress in Italy brought about by the rout of the Italian army.
 No such mission for human help has ever seen the like of this heroic work by the American Red Cross in Italy.
 For the winters needs it was found that 750 tons of hospital supplies were required, and these were ordered in America for immediate delivery to Italy.
 Some of the things ordered were an- aesthetics, surgical instruments, rub Der goods, enamel ware, gauge, ab- sorbent cotton and drugs. Just what such a shipment means is difficult for a layman to grasp.
 If you'd like to see your druggist lose all his senses at once just tell him about some of these quantities that were ordered for use in Italy.
 Tell him that 250 pounds of quinine were ordered. Since the war quinine Aas been difficult to get at any price.
Newport daily independent., 1918-06-03

It has jumped from S2.50 pound in France to $50 a pound. (luinine is very badly needed in Italy, and this Red Cross shipment has been nothing short of boon.
 Other items which give better idea in terms of the things which mean most to the wounded are 15 tons of chloroform and 25 tons of ether These items are beyond the power of the layman to visualize, but he can come nearer to picturing 2,000 bales of absorbent cotton, the quantity asked for.
 Orders for all these goods for Italy were placed last winter in America, and the American Red Cross has seen to it that shipments of each item are in process of delivery right along to re- lieve the terrible misfortune of the people in Italy.

Appreciates Great Help Be-

Glowing tribute to the part which
the United States Is playing in the
world war was paid last night by the
British Ambassador, the Earl of Read
ing, in an address before the National
Press Club. He said:
I'm these times attention Is arrest

what they say, except for the inspired
utterances and declarations of the
great leaders of thought and policy
Men turn to the realities and look to
the deeds which are chronicled daily
in your newspapers and presept a MIR
ror of the cataclysm through which
we are living. Powerful, as is at all
times, the influence of the press, IL
is vastly more powerful, and fraught

awaited as at the present day.
Vision Clearer Nsw.
"As time has passed and the vision
has become clearer. 1t is appa rent that
this titanic conflict is one in which
you must inevitably have borne your
part, for the struggle is between two
systems of governments. The one
where the individual exists for the
greater gloritication OF the State or
Dynasty, which used him merely as
a pawn and makes him act in de-
tiance of all moral and ethical rules
that should govern human beings, the
other where the State exists for the
protection of the weak and oppressed,
and the safeguarding OF the rights
and liberties Of individuals, and is
based upon those principles of moral
ity which are the only safe guides for
human conduct.
There is no essential difference
either OF purpose or of principle, be-
tween these two great common
