 During my stay in Apia, the Germans were offensive and dictatorial to for eigners. They had possession of the trade and most of the plantations, including that of Robert Louis Stephenson, who had set out some thousands of cacao trees from which he expected to make his fortune. I had a carriage and rode up the mountains to the Stevenson home. found it in the hands of German who had bought it for about half the amount that Stevenson lad spent on it.

RED CROSS NURSES
 WARMLY GREETED

Metz. November 3O.-Thirtythree Amer ican wounded soldiers in ward of hos pital here who were left behind by the Germans when they evacuated Metz, cheered and shouted when two Ameri- can Red Cross nurses arrived here to care for them. The nurses were Miss R. H. Baxter of Lewiston, Mont, and Miss Barion Whitney of New York city It is asserted that they were the first Amer ican women to enter Metz after the Ger mans left. They had been summoned in haste from Paris by an American Red Cross physician, pr. E. F. Pope of Spo- kane, Wash, who entered Metz four hours after the Germans departed.
 When the nurses arrived the Ameri- cans were overjoyed and all wanted to talk to them at once. They had been virtually unattended for three days. Many of theme were unshaven.

The natives here, and on the islands of the Bismarck archipelago adjoining, are wild to an extreme. Some of the tribes go naked, save for breech cloths of bark, for the men, and short petticoats of WOW en grass for the women. Along the ex- treme northern coast the natives are en- tirely nude, with the exception of shell necklace and feathers of the bird Of paradise which they stick in their hair. Some tribes wear only stripes of white, red, yellow and black paint, and others decorate themselves with scars made by burning as the Japanese burn themselves with the moXa.

The Samoan, Islands formerly be- longed to Great Britain, and when they were given to Germany New Zealand protested. This was along about 1900 when we got possession of Tutuila and the other islands adjoining At that time Dr. Solf was administrator of the Ger
 man interests in Samoa, and he may be depended upon to protest against any surrender of the islands. At the time the islands were given up, Ricard Seddon then premier of New Zealand denounced the action, saying that the surrender of Samoa had "disheartened the natives,
 disappointed the peoples of Australasia, and lowered the prestige of Great Britain
 in that part of the world"
 l visited Apa, the capital of German
 Samoa, shortly after the country waa
 taken over by the Kaiser The Germans had been there as merchants and planters
 for years preceding their actual owner ship, and the trade was practically con- troled by firm of Hamburg, known as the D. H. & P. G. It's real title was Die

This firm was an agent of the German government: and it's business was to stir up trouble and finally get the islands for Germany For years the trade had been divided between the Germans and Yankees, and the Germans had encouraged the revolt of 1887 in which King Malietoa, who had been recognized by Germany, Great Brit ain and the United States, was opposed by Tamasese, who claimed the throne. During the revolution King Malietoa was captured by the Germans and taken to Marshall Islands in German man-of war. The United States protested ana sent Captain Leary and the American
 gunboat Adams to Apia. As he came into the harbor, the German war vessel Ad- Ter saluted the Adams. but the Adams did not return the salute. To this the German captain objected and Captain Leary re- piled that the United States did not salute vessels which were engaged in the slave carrying trade. Later, he denounced the Germans for their violations of interna-

tired. The island which is larger than any other in the world excepting Green land, belongs to the British the Dutch and the Germans. It's western half Is owned by Holland and the southeastern fourth by Great Britain. The remainder is the property of Germany and has the title of Kaiser-W -Wilhelmsland. 1t is about twice as large as the state of h. dIana and comprises the best part of the country. It has more than half million natives, which is ove- twice as many as are to be found in the ter itories of the Dutch or the British.
 The country of Kaiser Wilhelmsland is wild and rugged. It is well watered and covered with such dense vegetation that the roads have to be cleared with hatch cts A days march through the wilder ness is often little more than one mile. The climate is hot and moist and the rainfall is heavy. The island has great deal of fine timber and among the trees are the famed banyans, which form a labyrinth with roots running up to and upholding the limbs. Much of the coun- try is still uneXplored, although the Ger mans have had their scientific parties going over it and making surveys of one kind or another.
 There are number of cocoanut plan tations near the coast. and little settle ments have been built at the principal harbors. In 1914 the European population was only 300 Germans, and the amount of land cultivated was less than 1IO0O acres. Of this, 14,000 acres were in cocoa nut palms and the balance in rubber and cocoa The land is said to be rich in mineral wealth, but the mines have not been worked on account of the difficulty ot getting machinery into the wilds. Ma tive labor is used for the plantations, and the planters rule after the usual method of the Germans. Some of the land is irrigated by the natives who use tubes of bamboo to carry the water from one level to another. Many of the tribes carry on farming. They are growing yamS, sweet potatoes and bananas, and. of late Indian corn. The German colo nists have been experimenting with cot ton and tobacco. They have planted sev- eral plantations about Astrolabe bay, one of which has produced an average of about a bale to the acre. l am told that the planters have great trouble get ting labor They say that the native races are dying out, and that some means of legislation will have to be introduced to regenerate them.

Returning to the German colonies in samoa, they consist of a group of islands just west of those that belong to the United States. The area of the protec- torate is little less than the size of Rhode Island, and it's population is about 4000O. In 1914 it had about 600 whites and 2000 Chinese. Of the whites, S73 were Germans, consisting chiefly of officials and planters. When war was declared a New Zealand expedition started out for Samoa. They were soon joined by three British cruisers, and the little fleet called first at New Gale donia, belonging to the French. There it was joined by a French fleet and two Australian ships, and all moved on in force toward Apia, the capital of the Island of Upolo, the chief German stronghold of that part of the world. The Germans were looking for their own fleet, and were surprised when they saw this squadron come in. They surrendered without fighting, and a moment later the German flag was torn down and the Union Jack went up in it's place. Since then the islands have been managed by the New Zealanders, and New Zealand will surely insist that they be given over to her as one of the terms of peace.
