NEW ZEALAND HOTLY LOYAL Zeal Shown in the Offer to Give Eng- land a Dreadnaught. VISIT OF YANKEE FLEET CAUSE Patriotism that Will Cost $10 a Head for Every Ma and on the Country, but m Stand It n Col The acceptance by Great Britain of the offer of New Zealand to build a Dread- nought of the largest type as a help to the mother country in the race to surpass Germany's naval program means an ex- pense to New Zealand of about $10 for every man. woman and child of that country. The total population of New Zealand is almost exactly 1,000000. The orfginal Dreadnought cost about $9,000,000. An improved one will probably cost $1,00,00 more To any ordinary country of a million in- habitants an expenditure of $10 each for some speclal object, all to be pald within | two yeaps—for it will take that time to bulld & Dreadrought—would be a grievous burden. New Zealand can stand it prob- ably better than any other country in the world, for it js the richest country in average wealth. The average.wealth of New Zealand, counting every one, even the bahles and Maoris, of whom there are 50,006, is mearly $1600. The average wealth of the United States is estimated at a good deal less than $1,000 an Inhabitant. That of New Zealand i sald to be the highest in the world. The New Zealand creed in respect to wealth was lajd down by the late Premier Mr. 8eddon, regarded as next to the great- est man, Sir George Grey, who ever ruled in that domatn, Mr. Seddon said: Gospel in New Zealand. “I belleve that the cardinal aim of gov- ernment is to provide conditions which will reduce want and permit the very largest possible number of its people to be healthy, happy human beings. The life, the health, the Intelligence and the morals of a nation count for more than riches, and I would rather have the country free from want and squalor and the unemployed than the home of multimillionaires. The extremes of poverty and wealth crush the self- respect of the poor and produce the arrog- ance of the idle rich.” That doctrine may or may not have produced the money whereby New Zealand 1s able to fork up $10,00,00 in a hurry to bulld a great battléship and give it away. The public debt of the dominion, local and national, is about $850,000,000. The value of the public property is put at about $32%,- 000,000 leaving the net debt at about $25,- 000,000 only. The Dominion has a surplus of revenue ench year of about $4,000.000, that it will have to mortgage, so to speak, its surplus revenue for the next two years and a half to bulld its Dreadnought. That will mean that the expenditure for the great ship will just about exhaust the sur- plus revenue during the time the ship Is building. If two years and a half are re- quired to bulld it the little Dominion will not have to run In debt a cent for the construction. Buch a showing le one that few nations, if any, could make and probably no other colony of any country could present. It fllustrates vividly what the New Zealond idea of prosperity s, and probably the New Zealanders regard their venture as a pretty ood advertisement of living con- ditions fhere. Aroused by Amerfcan Fleet. A matter of Interest to Americans in the construction of this ship for Great Britain {s the fact that the offer to the mother 50 country is probably the direct result of the ‘I That great furore made In New Zealand last August over the visit of the United States Atlantic fleet. It has been predicted right along that one result of the crulse would be & tremendous advance In naval activity the world over, especially in shipbuillding. It was thought that in time Australia would take up the subject of bullding a navy of her own, but It was not expected by American naval experts that New Zea- land would be the first to get into the limelight In this respect. Her wealth and her patriotism account for it. While New Zealand s in the geographical limits of what is known as Australasia it is a separate crown colony and really has nothing to do with Australla so far as government administration |s concerned. It 1s a distinct dominion of itself. Its people chuckled secretly over the fact that It recelved a visit from the American fleet before Australla had that | distinction. The fleet really was sent down to the Antipodes to visit Australia. New Zealand at once set up what in the parlance pf the day is known as a holler. She wanted the fleet also. Fate was with her. It was necessary for the flect to stop somewhere on the way to Australia to coal, and New Zealand drew the prize. Americans Were Entranced. Her people showed the Americans the most novel entertainment of the entire trip, a visit to the wonderful geyserland of the dominlon and & prize performancé by the Maoris, the only savage race that Great Britain was never able to conquer, The Americans found the dominion the most beautiful country they had ever vis- ited New Zealand worked itselt up into a mighty fever of admiration for naval things, and 1t 18 no surprise to those who Updike’s Pride of Omaha Flour Your children’s future depends en- tirely upon the food you buy.

What New Zealand has in mind building the Dreadnaught was probably best expressed by Lord Plunkett, the gov- ernor, when he sald in a formal speech at a great dinner to the Americans: “It is true that for the safety of our em- pire, no matter the sacrifice, our navy must always be equal to a possible com- bination of two other great powers, but let me remind you that though we have a full appreciation of the vast potential resources of America she has never been reckoned as one of such possible combination. “But even that two powered standard would not be enough if we had to sup- port all that we have taken upon our shoulders in the past. For centuries the British navy, almost apart from its coun- try's defense, has borne almost alone the burden of polieing the seas, capturing the slaver, charting the oceans, overawing the tyrant, championing the oppressed.” Patriotism is Practical. to help England to do all these things that New Zealand wishes a big navy, and when she heard that Germany was about to lead in the race of building all big gun ships—the present ones are to be obselete in a few years If this idea con- tinues to prevall—she wanted to bear her part in trying to help Great Britain to construct a naval establishment that should always be equal to a possible combination of two other great powers. Even this gift of New Zealand, accord- ing to the latest accounts, will not ac- compiish this result, but ft will help. New Zealand feels that it is doing its part. Canada 1s talking of joining in. It is a moot question how much the world gird- ling trip of the Atlantic fleet has con- tributed to this end or has Inspired it. New Zealand and Australla pay each year to Great Britain a Jump sum for naval protection. New Zealand pays $200000 a year. Australla pays $1,000000. For these sums Great Britain agrees to keep a squad- ron of warships on the Australlan station, which Includes New Zealand. This squad- ron must consist of one armored. crulser, first-class; two second-class crulsers, four third-class crulsers and four sloops of war. Keep n Naval Reserve. Australia and New Zealand maintain what Is known as the royal naval reserve, consisting of twenty-five officers and 700 men. One of the warships Is held in re- serve and three of them are named in part by the royal naval reserve. The remainder are in full commission with British crews. The largest warship England hds down there now Is the great cruiser Powerful. Vice Admiral Sir Richard Poore s in com- mand of the squadron. Australians, it is sald, had never seeh a modern battleship in thelr water before the Atlantic fleet's visit. When the fleet was In Australla proper mention was made hr edftorial articles and in numerous speeches by the big guns that It was time for Australla to bulld a navy of her own. There was no Intimation that some day it might be needed In case Aus- tralia should become a nation of itself. country has never had war and knows that war is scarcely within the range of possibilities so long as she flies England's flag. The suggestion of an Australlan navy came from a desire to help the mother country and to be prepared for national emergencles, in case by any untoward event these should arise. Always there were the dark hints about a white man's country, but no one took it to mean that Australla wanted & navy to use against England in case she did not take heed of the commonwealth's aspirations that direction, Debt Problem is Not Easy. Australia is having a hard time in as- suming and adjusting the debts which the commonwealth is required to take over from the various states. That problem 1s still one of the hard ones to crack, and probably the commonwealth would not be able to make such an offer to the home country as New Zealand has done. New Zealand has a territory about one- seventh smaller than that of Great Britain and Ireland combined. It sells to foreign- ers about $100,000,000 worth of goods a year and buys from other countries only about 365,000,000, leaving a neat balance of trade. It was the first country to establish uni- versal penny postage and old age pension to assist settlers In buying farms, to estab- lsh compulsory arbitration, to adopt the policy of confiscating large estates and de- veloping them for small holders, the first British country to adopt woman suffrage, to establish life, accident and fire insur- ance by the government, the first to operate government coal mines, to provide govern- ment owned dwellings for workmen, and the first In a lot of other Ideas In govern- ment, some of them chimerical and some of them not In offering to pay for a Dreadnought for the home country New Zealanad adds an- other distinction to her career as a colony. Of course she has no shipyards where the vessel will be constructed. It will be built in England New Zealand will pay for It and even says that she will then be willing to pay for another.

LUCKY OMAHA INVENTORS Secure Patents on Steel Platforms for Passenger Cars, STEEL FRAMES FOR MAIL CARS Devices That Will Hesist the Impact of Collisions and Prevent Tel- escoplng--Steel Makers Bid for Patents, In the gruesome reports of train disas- ters in this country the reader invariably 18 informed that “the mail car was reduced to kindling wood” or “the baggage car was telescoped.” Sometimes the smoker 1s “crushed like an egg shell” or driven through the car ahead. are so common as to be worn threadbare, yet most accurately fit the ruins of head- on collisions, and trains wrecked by ob- structions or misplaced switches.
