Zealand aborigincS, who fought IN the
Gallipoli campaign and afterward in
France, has been welcomed home with
a great feast, hakas (war dances) and

The acting prime minister, Sir James
Allen, told them: You Maoris hold a
proud position. You have not one con-
script" From the time Of Its forma-
ton early in the war the Maori bat
TALON was maintained at a strength of
200 entirely by voluntary enlistment.
Great quantities OF mutton, beef. pork
and other food had beer baked in earth
en- ovens for the occasion. About 1000
Maoris in all shared In this feast. There
were several poi "a native delicacy)
dances.
The tangi was a scene OF much emo
ton. The soldiers sat by tribes en-
by sorrowing natives, Led by
their chiefs. the mourners RricNed with
low, wailing chants for those OF their
race who will never return, All the
treasured heirlooms OF the tribes had
been brough. from their safe-feepine
for the welcome, There were jade orna-
ments, mats, chieftains' head-dresse
and beautiful kits The chiefs OF the

ROMAN HORSES DON'T
YIELD TO AUTOMOBILES

ROME July 4,-The horse here has
o vacated his position to make room
for the automobile, There are still
thousands of horse-drawn cabs operat-
ing in Rome while there is not a single
taxicab.
Two reasons are given for this equine
superiority. First, there are 5000 cab
drivers Mn Rome, according to the
municipal statistics, These exercise a
considerable influence In the municipal
elections of Rome, and as a conse-
quenCe no motor vehicle concessions
are granted. The politicians know that
In order to retain these 5000 votes they
must be faithful to the horse and an
enemy to the "~flivVer."
Besides the supply Of gasoline in
Italy is not large and to insure enough
for the military needs, II was found
absolutely necessary TO- discourage as
much private motor vehicular traffic as
npSsihle.

BRITAIN WILL FREE
 ITS MEN GRADUALLY
Consolidation Presents Difficult
 Task for Govt. to Handle

London, Dec. 5 (Correspondeace of the Associated Press. .)-The British government has completed it's basic plans for denohilization of the army and providing employment for the men whose sole business for four years has been war. It is calculated that 60 per cent. of the men in the army will go back to their old jobs or have new ones awaiting them but taking care of the remainder even though every ounce of man-power will be needed after the war, presents & most difficult problem.
 It will be a tedious task to trans form millions of men from khaki to civil life and must be done by de- grees, By the plan agreed upon these degrees have been fixed upon the needs of industry with certain consid- eration being given to married men or those who may otherwise be need ed in the home.
 The government has a record of what each man is best fitted for in civil life. The ministry of public service which has efficiently compiled this data has, together with other official agencies, prepared a list of necessary industries in the order of what is deemed their importance. The first few are called key trades many of which produce material needed for use in other trades. Tn idea is that it would be useless to rt lease a lot of structural steel workcl ahead of the men who produce stec The trades dist is complete but w

PREDICTS RUIN OF
 GERMAN SEA TRADE
Albert BalHn Of Hamburg g-Ameri- can Line Saw Disaster Coming

Sydney, Australia, Nov. 2S, (Cor. respondence of the Associated Press) Albert Ballin, general director of ,ho Ham burg American Steamship Co.,. who is reported to have com mirtod suicide just before the signing If the a.rr1istice, had predicted disas ter for the German overseas trade as an outcome of the war. This is dis closed by the publication here of a .etter which Herr Ballin had written m December, 1917, apparently to Dr. Rothenau, q privy councillor at Der lin. A copy of th1s letter was made public here by J. M. Paxton, a resi- lent of Sydney, who received 1t from l friend in London. In it BaIlin de- elared that whether Germany or Eng land was victorious in the war the consequences to German foreign trade would be disastrous. The let ter reads in part:
 Most of what we read in the newspapers to our preparedness for embarI R. on brisk trade and manufacture as soon as peace has been concluded is, fear, written with the manifest intention of heartening our people who are notoriously ig-

 AMERICAN TROOPS
Russians Feel Intervention Is
 Necessary to Save Country

Chita, Trans BaikaIia, Dec. 29, (By the Associated Press)-Defying the orders of his physicians, General Semenoff, who was quite seriously wounded by fragments of a bomb thrown in a crowded theater here recently, received the Associated Press correspondent today. With him, he discussed briefly the crisis in Russia declaring that America Is ad- mired by Russians who would well come American troops in the battle against Bolshevism.
 Armed Cossacks guard the gen. erals house, and the correspondent was allowed to see the general only after undergoing a most rigid exami- nation. General Semenoff himself gave the correspondent a courteous welcome with his left hand, explain ing that his right hand and left leg had been injured by the bomb ex- plosion. A surgeon had just re- moved fragments of the bomb from the injured leg.
 Referring to America, General Semenoff was insistent in his declara- ton that American troops would be welcomed by Russians
 "The landing of foreign troops on |, he added, but it is necessary now to overthrow the Bolshevists.'
 Asked If his differences with Ad- miral Kolchak had been adjusted, he replied in the negative. Admiral Kolchak sent troops to Irkutsk," he said, "so I cannot say we are friends, but my Cossacks will always work for he best interests of Russia"
 He concluded his talk with a re- luest that his greetings and an ex- >ression of his admiration and re- spect for the American people be sent to them. He especially spoke of his gratitude for the unself1sh interest in Russia's welfare which has been lhown by America.
 British troops have been paraded through the streets and the belief hat American forces are coming seems general. A strong force of Japanese is encamped in the suburbs and is apparently sufficient to control he situation.

has not been officially stated, but it has been reported that he had been summoned on the German headquar- ters and criticised by Gen. Ludendorff for opposing plans of the military party and that Ballin then appealed to the then German emperor who sustained Ludendorffs staten ents, and suggested that Ballin either adopt them or retire from public life. There after, according to reports, Ballin ap- peared to be greatly depressed in spirit. Some reports received in London stated that he had committed suicide.

 He said that the German mercan- tile marine was in "a periious condl- tion," and that the bill to re-estab- fish and strengthen it. which at the time of writing was before Reichstag. would show no results for at least five years In that time Germany's & great maritime competitors, Britain, and United States and Japan and the neutrals Norway. Denmark and Hol- land would profit enormously.
 Rallin reminded his friend that he (Ballin) vainly begged Berlin au- thorities not to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare; and he continued: ::
 You and I know that the Ameri- cans are probably the most idealistlc nation on the ea.rth's surface. In antagonizing America We have done a disastrous thing, a thing which will throw cold shadow on our economic life for a. generation" The latter part of Ballin's letter ran:
 "But if I am concerned about our relations with the United States. I am still more anxious about our re- lations with Britain. T realize as never before that all the increase in our wealth, all the success which at- tended our Enterprises in the year be- fore the war, were owing to our in- tercourse with the British Empire. Her home ports, her dominions and colonies were freely opened to our shippers and traders. Sometimes l wondered at this generosity, and even called it folly. Is 1t to be imagined for a moment that those old relations will return?
 'I am not to be supposed, dear Herr Geheimrat, CPrivy Councilor) as saing one word in favor ofBrit- aims policy in this war. I believe that she entered it from some base motives.
 Consider what we are risking. We look forward to resuming four sea trade. We build our proudest ex- pectations on this. How are we to resume 1t in face of an Anglo-Saxon- dom which loathes and must loathe our presence among them.
 But we must beat England. you say, no matter what the consequence I agree. All I say is that whether we beat her or she beats us the con sequences will be the same-die- a.ster to our oversea trade if Britain so wills it. We may, in the event ot victory, impose all sorts of conditions securing Us most-favored -natior treatment, securing us free entry into British ports everywhere. No sane man believes that these conditions will help us.
 with a hostile British Empire galled and fretted with our military success, raggfng at it's losses, hope 1essly alienated, how are we to pro cure the raw material which this Empire alone can supply? Ina great Empire Is self contained and we are not, and all the military vic tories and all the wild will-o-the- wisps about Hamburg to Bagdad' will not help us.''
