DEMAND FOR ELECTRICAL GOODS
 IN NEW ZEALAND

A more widespread use of electric |ity in New Zealand and greater de- |mand for the various appliances that |add to comfortable living are predict ed in report on New zealand's markets for electrical goods made public by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Depart ment of Commerce.
 The standard of living is good in the island, says the report, and there is an absence of a poor class, but there are some modern conveniences of which the people have not gener- ally taken advantage. In the elec- trical field this is quite noticeable, a fact attributed in part to the right re- quirements of the fire underwriters hnd in part to the natural conserva- tism of the people.
 Of the total imports of S2,300,000 worth of electrical goods in 1913, the United States supplied Is per cent, England 65 per cent, Germany per cent, and Sweden about 5.4 per cent. In 1914, during which the war made tself felt on shipping, the total inn ports were valuSd at $2,136,OG0, of which the United States contribute d 14.4 per cent, England 66 per cent, Germany 8.6 per cent, and Sweden A per cent. Imports amounted to S1.- PS4,000 in 1915, the first complete year under war conditions, the United States supplying 1S8 per cent, Eng and 70 per cent, Germany or per pent, and Sweden 4.O2 per cent. Japan
 ppeared in the field in 1915 with sales amounting to $12,800. The United States is expected to better its posi-
 ion while thew ar lasts and after.

TURNING POINT OF WAR, SAYS
 BRITISH PRESS

London, Aug. 10.-The general feel ing here is that the importance of the successful new battle cannot be over- estimated. It is regarded as the turn ing point of the whole war.
 The initiative has now been taken from the enemy and within the month the Allies have engaged in two inn portant battles with conspicuous suc- cess.
 It is not too much to say the Amer ican army has been the chief factor in this result. The military critic of the Westminster Gazete says only what all soldiers who have seen Amer ican mettle put to the test are saying, that the American troops are equal to any In the world
 The moral effect of their appear ance in France, even though a com paratively small proportion of them Is yet on the fighting line, has been the transformation in the British and French armies of determination to re- sist. into the confidence of victory.
 That Field Marshal Haig was able to surprise the German command is regarded as noteworthy. The Times says:
 Tt was victory of a very remark able character. If the enemy as MT. Bonar Law suggested, intended tc evacuate this country, it Is an even more remarkable confession of defeat than the retreat to the Vesle, for mo- where has he fought harder than he 1 did this spring for the possession o1 the ground which was the scene oi yesterdays attack.
 1 "The completeness of the surprise is all the more remarkable because the the recent fighting on the Ancrt showed he attached importance to thi ground and was suspicious of our in tentions."
 The Daily Mail says:
 "If, to the most satisfactory result attained, the gain of much ground should be added, the position of tn Germans in the bulge towards Mont didier would become distinctly awk ward"
 The Daily News thinks the fact tha Ludendorff should have been ignoran of the spot which the Allies woul choose for an attack Is a measure o the completeness with which the mi tiative has passed from his hands. Paris, Aug. 10.-The Allies success in Picardy is welcomed joyfully b. the press. They attribute the success in great part to the fact the Allie .. command is centered in one man.
 The army of General won Hutte may be considered outfanked on it
