Sydney Australia, July 1.-THE

ister William NJ. Hughes, in his
spe eclf before the Pilgrims Club in

the Australian interstate commerce

ian trade in the south Pacific, all re-
late directly or indirectly to discuss
sion which Is becoming more or less
frequent in the Australian, New Zea-
land and Ffjian press touching fed
eratoin of the South Sea Islands. The
interstate commerce commission said
in it's report:
"The government OF the islands con-
trolled by the British crown is at pres

policy. The commission is satisfied
that the islands under the British
crown should be grouped under a mora
, coherent system. The commission has
timely settlement OF this paramount
question of government a Joint inquiry
by representation Of the United
Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand
should be undertaken"
One Of the British Pacific island COM
mssioners said in Sydney while on a
recent visit here:
THE suggestion that a conjoint
commission OF inquiry be appointed at
an early date should in my opinoin be
carefully considered by the public uf
the commonwealth. The question as to
whether administrative powers should
be granted 70 such u commission,
which would represent tho interests OF
the Imperial government of the COM
monwealth, and of the Dominion OF
New Zealand, IS one which also claims
the full consideration OF statesmen.
British interests at, present are
widely spread under many forms Of
control, and difficulties are constant
ly created by the lack OF effective co.
operation, Great Britain, Australia and
New Zealand are carrying on the work
Of administration thru officers who
have no direct relation with each
other. There are crown colonies. Fiji
and the Gilbert and iI1lice Islands; the

To add to this diversity of control we
now have the military occupation by

HOLD FAST, SAYS LLOYD aEose7
British Premier Issues Message to Peo
pie Of Great Britain.

pie OF Great Britain.
London, Aug. S.-"Hold fast was the
keynote OF a message to the British en-
pire OF Premier David Lloy6-George
and promulgated in a drastic way thru
the kingdom at the hour of o'clock
last night. The message was read to
the audiences in all theaters. concert
halls, and other places where people
were assembled, including moving pic
ture houses.
Sealed copies of the message had
been distributed to the managers Of all
these places, with the request that they
open and read 1t at o'clock. The mes
sage follows:
The message which I send to the
people Of the British empire on the
fourth anniversary Of the entry into the
war Is: Hold fast!'
1--WE are in this war for no selfish
ends. We are In It to recover freedom
for the nations which have been brutal
~ attacked and despoiled. and to prove
that no people, however powerful. can
surrender itself to tho lawless ambi-
tions OF militarism without meeting
retribution, swift, certain, and disas-
trous, at the hands Of the free nations
Of the world. To stop short of victory
for this cause would be to compromise
the future Of mankind.
II say hold fast because our pros
poets Of victory have never been so
bright as they are today. Six months
ago the rulers OF Germany deliberately
rejected the just and reasonable settle
ment proposed by the allies. Throwing
aside the last mask Of moderation. they
partitioned Russia, enslaved Rouma-
mia, and attempted to siezs supreme
power by overthrowing the allies in q
final and desperate attack. Thanks to
the invincible bravery Of all the allied
armies. 1t is now evident to all that this
dream Of universal conquest. for the
sake Of which they wantonly prolonged
the war. can never be fulfilled.
"But the battle is not yet won. The
great autocracy Of Prussia will still
endeavor, by violence or guile, to avoid
defeat and so give militarism new
lease Of life. We cannot seek to escape
the horrors Of war for ourselves, by
laying them up for our children. Hav-
ing set our hands to the task. we must
see it thru till Just and lasting settle
ment is achieved.
TN no other way can we endure a
world set free from war.

NO NEWSPAPERS.
War Industries Board Bars Establish,
mont Of Additional Publications.

sssOsS " SNSS'SSuot 0aSSsS&StOUos
Washington. Aug. Gin addition to
the regulations for the reduction OF the
size Of newspapers bY approximately
is per cent on week days and 20 pei
cent on Sundays the war board also
ruled that no new newspapers shall be
established during the period OF the
war, and thataas still another conser-
walton measure wasteful practices of
circulation shall be cut to minimum.
In this copnection. the discontinuance
Of the return of unsold copies is made
a mandatory policy.
Rigid rules are made for the reduc-
ton Of the space to be used by news
papers on both week days and Sun
days in the publication Of reading
matter" which is defined as "all matter
except paid advertisements There is
no restriction placed upon space used
for paid advertisements.
The regulations were adopted after
the members OF the pulp and paper
section of the war Industries board had
held extended conferences with the
publishers. and it is understood, are
based upon suggestions made by the
publishers. The regulations will be
forced by means of the supplies OF fuel
allotted to paper mills, and this In
dustry will be kept on the preferential
list by the priorities board Of the war
industries board only while they obey
the instructions given concerning their
relations with the publishers.
Practically all of these rules for the
elimination of wasteful practices in
connection with circulation have been
put into effect already by many of the
newspapers.
The war industries board does not
attempt to dictate the purpose to which
the space permitted for reading matter
shall be put and there are no rigid re-
strictions forbidding the publication OF
magazine comic, and other special
feature sections with either week day
or Sunday newspapers. There was
considerable discussion of this point,
but it is understood that for the pres
ent at least the government officials
are satisfied to permit the publishers
to decide the nature of reading matter
which will. however. be subject to the
general reduction conditions.
A progressive percentage OF reduc-
,tion is provided, however. Sunday
editions, for instance. must cut all
reading matter from $50 to 200 columns
by 20 per cent, and when the, space
used reaches over $50 columns the re-
duction must be 60 per cent. These
restrictions will mean big slashing OF
the special feature sections Of many
Sunday newspapers.

COUNTIES MAKE RECORD.
No War Savings Stamp cashed II
Some Sections Of Iowa,


Special to Times Republican.
Dcs Moines. Aug. 6.--Iowa's honor
roll of counties where there has not
yet been single war savings stamp
cashed by its holder numbers twelve.
Counties entitled to place on this
honor roll are the following:
BENTON, BLACK Hawk. Butler. Chicka-
saw. Dallas. Davis, Ida, Muscatine,
Palo Alta. Sioux, Tama and Wright.
There will be little need In these
counties for the publicity campaign be-
Ing put on by the Iowa war savings
committee to discourage the practice
OF converting stamps into cash. The
campaign is aimed at the unpatriotic
persons who bought stamps to make a
showing with war savings solicitors
with deliberate intention Of cashing
them in.
i Selling liberty bonds is different from
cashing in stamps. the committee
points out. When person disposes of
ais liberty bond the government Is not
called upon for any cash. When stamps
are cashed, the government Is called
upon TO give the holder cash which it
planned to use for the purchase of arms
and supplies for American soldiers in
France.
1t is to make the practice Of tashing
stamps unpopular that the present
campaign Of publicity is being under
taken. In many counties in the state
conversions of stamps into cash have
been considerable. The counties with
the largest population, OF course. show
the greatest number of conversions 1t
Is the belief OF the committee that
these can be reduced to minimum
when 1t is pointed out to the people
that 1t is an unpatriotic act to sell
their stamps when they can afford to
hold them.

Allied Airmen
Worrying German
High Command
Correspondent Associated Press. ]


Correspondent Associated Press
British Air Force Headquarters In
France, July 12-There have been many
signs recently of extreme uneasiness by
the German high command regarding
the increasing ascendancy of the allied
airmen on the western front. This
has been especially evident since the
American airmen have pegun to appear
in force and have proved themselves
of the same mettle as the French and
British fliers.
1t has become common place among
British airmen that their opponents Will
not face combat in the air unless In
strength Of three or four to one, and
German prisoners have told OF German
airmen being. punished by their flight
commanders for returning to their air.
dromes still laden with bombs and am
muntion which they had been ordered
to drop over the British lines. 1t Is
becoming increasingly hard to find' a
German airman over the allied side OF
the lines in the daytime. as Is proved
by the Germans own admission that
when they do manage to bring down
an allied machine It is almost always
over their own territory.
Perhaps the most striking evidence Of
German official anxiety. regarding the
allied superiority In the air is to be
found in the official German wireless
news. This, while always imaginative
and rarely accurate. has OF late been
singularly wild and full Of fiction re-
garding the situation in the air. In an
nfnrt m ~ ho ell n, -kaf-
feet Of the real facts OF the situation,
the German wireless editors make the
widest statements. bordering almost on
humor.
Thus recent copy of the German
wireless report SAYS: Superior methods
of flying and greater skill have sechreo
for the German air force successes on
a scale such as were never known be-
fore" The same statement refers in
glowing terms to the reckless attack
Ing spirit" of the pilots OF the German
chasing planes-a phrase which pro-
voked much merriment among British,
French and American airmen. who Of
late have found that even one Of the
Reconnaissance machines can rely on
putting to flight any German machine
which is not accompanied by three or
four OF itssownl kind. s ss9
III Germany is really pleased with
her air record for the past few months"
remarked British squadron leader to
the correspondent. there is no reason
for us to complain. We ask nothing
better than that Germany should go on
having the same kind Of success in
future months" 81
He took as an example the report for
May. which lay open on his desk. This

British air fighting alone. and has no
reference o, the fine air work OF the

Rainbow Division Whips Ka;ser's Best

It has always been popular hereto
fore in Washington to deride the ma
tional guard. The guardsmen were
dubbed "tn soldiers" The regular
establishment had little use for the
guard as an organization and gave
doubts as to the ability of it's officers
to command.
But that was before the Franco
American counter offensive was launch
ed on July ia day that some time
may crowd July hard for holiday
honors. Today there is nothing but
praise for the national guard and praise
for it's officers from staff officials who
know how to interpret. the news from
the battle front.
To the Second division of regulars
and largely the marines, which form q
constituent part of the Second division

victory to a German rout by first as
