(By Associated Press Correspondence)
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Feb.
12—The prohibition movement, which
this year was aimed at the suppression
of the entire manufacture, importa
tion and sale of liquor In New Zea
land, sulTered a loss of 60,000 votes
as compared with previous campaigns
when the Issue was for lesser forms
of suppressions.
Aside from this a remarkable fea
U!
„ ture of the recent elections was a
political comedy in which the native
women, or brown-skinned Maoris, in
North New Zealand, succeeded In
sending Tau Tenare. a man of their
race, to Parliament, where ho holds
the balance of power. Tenare had
not orginally been a candidate, but
was unexpectedly put forward by a
Bclf-appointed committee of women in
defiance of the male politicians, and
by virture of the femine vote he beat
seven other candidates by 200 plur
ality. The Moris women frankly ad
mit it was largely because Tenare was
\ young and handsome that they thrust
^ greatness upon him.
The sucessful Maori is keping both
k
, parties guessing ns to his political
complexion. If he sides with Premier
Massey, the head of the Reform party
now In power, the government will |
have 41 votes, but if he supports Sir
Joseph Ward, leader of me opposition .
—as it is said he proposes to do
each party will have forty votes, In
deadlock over the election of a speak
er for the House. Efforts have been
made to “smoke out” this Maori
Adonis but they have been in vain.

AMSETERDAM, Feb. 12—Advices

TERMS OF PEACE
MUST BE PLAIN
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 12—The de
mand that the terms of peace, when
made, shall be in plain language
which the common people of the vari
ous countries can understand, is
voiced by Herr von Heyebrand, lead
er of the Conservative party in Ger-1
many, in an address which has just
reached Germans here. Von Heyde-1
brand is quoted as saying:
“It is a matter of wonder to many ;
how it has become possible for Ger- i
many to be so alone in the world, and
there is a feeling that German dip
lomatic ability could have been more
prounced. When the terms of peace
come to be considered, we shall not al
low these terms to become involved
in a sort of complicated diplomatic
art, but they should be put into lan
guage which the common people can
understand and are agreed upon."

RUM DOLED OUT
TO MEN IN TRENCHES
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 12—A daily ration
of rum Is still part of the regular sup
plies of British soldiers In the actual
fighting line, but It Is doled out under
the head of "medicine," and the quan
tity allowed Is only three tablespoon
fuls with rations for two days.
“This small ration of alcohol was
considered Indespensable by the army
physicians,” writes a correspondent
to the Liverpool Post. "They consid
ered It necessary that the soldier ex
posed to the cold for hours In the
trenhces, should have some stimulant
available, and experience taught, that
the 'drop- of rum, taken either straight
or in his tea, was the thing.'
In some quarters fears have been
expressed that the distribution of an
alcoholic stimulant to the soldiers
might lead some of the men to form
permanent habits of drinking, but
army leaders replied that the quantity
handed out was too small to justiby
any such fear, and moreover, it is
given to men only when they are act
ually In the front lines or In exposed
positions on outposts duty.
As a matter of fact, everything is
done to ensure the sobriety of the
troops. When the armies are either
advancing or retreating through a
town all the saloons are closed, and
the same measure Is taken wherever
the troops are in occupation of a town.
Old campaigners declare that their
daily spoonful of mm Is a safeguard
against certain diseases, such as
cholera.
As a matter of fact, notwithstanding
the army's purchase of rum, the to
tal importations of this beverage have
fallen off more than half since the
beginning of the war. Importers ex
plain this by saying that the mm
makers In Jamica and the West In
dies are not making as much as form
erly, because a greater profit is to be
realized just now from the sale of
sugar, although the price of rum has
advanced about seventy per cent.

BIRDS GIVE WARNING
APPROACHING BATTLE
(I3y Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 12—Folks on the
East Coast have no need of lookouts
to warn them of a battle In the North
Sea. Even when they can not hear
the gun-firing they have auguries of
the battle In the pheasants, in which
the country thereabout abounds.
Hours before the people of London
were aware of it, many East Coast
residents knew there had been an en
gagement on the morning of Sunday.
Jan. 24. Almost Immediately firing
had begun the pheasants made a great
stir and fuss, and those old residents
able to read the signs~reallzed that
the sensitive birds were aware of dis
tant cannonading. Similar demon
strations by the birds had been made
on previous occasions.
The Rev. \V. M. L. Evans, writing
from Saxby Rectory, Lincolnshire, of
the East Coast, say: “It may be of
interest to Admiral-Sir David Betty
to know that a large portion of the
population of this remote parish, in
spite of the censor, knew all about his
doings on Sunday morning at an early
hour.
"Our worthy clerk met me with me
announcement, ‘There be rare goings
on in the North Sea, the morn’.
"Why?” I inquired.
“ ‘The pheasants is all over the place
with their fuss,’ ’’ was the reply,
“many villagers," adds the Rector,
"confirms his statement as to the ex
cited condition of the birds.”
The London Times, investigating
the matter, finds that pheasants else
where along the coast have displayed
the same uneasiness during naval en
gagements. Their sensitive organism
catcheB the falutest distant tremors,
when the human ear is not disturbed.

WAR
(By Associated Press Correspondence) £
V
PARIS. F'eb. 12—So far as the pule M
3
lie knows the military courts have %
thus far had few sensational cases. .
In view of the frequency of spy Bto
rles, many people are astonished not
to hear every day or bo of a traitor
or a foreign spy being condemned to
death. As n rule these cases nre
handled by a drum head court mar
tlal, and the culprit has nlready been
shot before the stories of his ex
ploits have reached the public. If the
story Is true. It is more the routine
business witli the regular sittings of
the court martial have to do. Deser
tions, disrespect to superior officers,
aggressions of all sorts and misde
meanors make up the calendar.
A class of enses that Is common is £
like that of Abdallah ben Said Yahlon,
Algerian riflemen, who fell a victim to!i^
the warm hospitality of Paris. Re
covering from a wound, he was order-, ]:•;
ed to rejoin his regiment near Mar
seilles. He had never seen Paris and
so many people showered things upon
him he thought it was a pity to leave.
He lived like a prince six weeks, with
out spending a sou; when finally
caught he had no defense excepting
the weakness of human nature and S
simply declared: "I brave man—want
fight.”
Abdallah was formally sentenced to
two years hard-labor but the sentence
was suspended as it has been in many
other cases, and he will be sent to the
front.
Resistence of civilians to military
regulations brings many cases like
that of Jacques Dellone Into court.
Dellone Is a hardworking man afflict
ed with a peppery temper. He pulled
a hand-cart with an eight hundred
pound load up to the Billancourt gate,
where he was stopped by a sentinel.
“You can't pass here!"
“What!" cried Dellone. “after pull
lng this load a mile and a half, you
want me to turn about with it? Not
on your life."
“You can't pass” Insisted the senti
nel, barring the way with his rifle.
“They ought to put up a sign post
so people would know” protested Del
lone.
“You’d better see Gallieni about
that” replied the sentinel.
"Gallieni! Who’s Gallieni? I don’t
Gallieni and don’t care a straw about
him. I know no one but Joffre.”
Dellone’s excuse was that no one
talked about Gallieni and he did not
know what authority he had to his 2
credit. 4
He was given five days in prison. f
