Miss Beatrice Grimshaw, who after fifteen years sojourn in Polynesia arrived in London neently, confesses to an especial affection for islands, and thinks the very word island has a magical sound to all the British race. New Guinea, where she has made her home, "is the island she loves best, but she has an intimate knowledge of many groups and solitary islands.

Talk about volcanoes, and she will tell you at lonely islands formed entirely of quiescent volcanoes where native Com- munities have settled, in spite of the dan- ger, because volcanic soil is the most fertile in the world. They live prosper- ously till the volcano awakens and pours out its streams of lava, and the natives" seek what shelter they may the sea.

The white women in the South seas are of a fire type (continued Miss Grimshaw). They mcrifice so much to stay with their husbands. They will live in remote places among dangerous natives with no other white person within days of them, where there is no one to speak to, and the food is often bad and feaver prevalent. Soine of the women are wonderful.

THE "QUEEN" OF KUDENT 13LAND, Then Miss Grimshaw told of Mahony, "Queen" of Sudest Island, who has ruled her island for forty years. She rude all the natives on the island speak English by the simple expedient of degree ing that, anyone who spoke a word of another language within her stockade should be run out. The island was too remote for the Government to help, and it knew she was quite competent to manage the cannibals, among who she lived with her large family.

Simultaneously with these revelations the newspapers print correspondence between Mr. August Busch, president of the Anheuser-Busch Company, one of the largest brewing firms in the country, who recently travelled to Europe in an Ame rican liner, the George Washington, and the Government. Finding that, liquor was sold openly on board the vessel, Mr. Busch wrote an indignant letter to the President pointing out that, having spent When she heard that one man had killed £3,000,000 in converting his breweries in and was eating his neighbours."

If an employer is found seriously ill-using his natives he is warned. The warning is repeated if necessary, and for a third offerce the plaster loses his license to, employ native labour. This practically meant that he has to leave the island. Cases of ill-treatment are rare, but there has been enough to show that strict regulations are necessary.

STAMPING OUT, CANNIBALISM.

The people of New Guinea used all to be cannibals, but the practice is being stamped out the process of reformation beginning at the coast and gradually work ing inland. Once a native gives up the practice he does not return to it. Indeed, heis ashamed to acknowledge he has ever eaten a man. "He says; "I never did: it was the people next door.".

Chiozza Money, writing in the Western Morning News, says: The new Europe containe over five hundred So quickly does its million people. population multiply that the war losses, frightful as they were have merely check- ed the rapid growth. Most of the Euro- pean nations, although not France, and probably not Russis, have raade increase despite the war. Our own population is now, over 17,500,000 as against 46,000,000 in 1014; Germany, area for area, has grown; Italy numbers 40,000,000. France, on the other hand, steadily wanes; she is now with the people of Alsace Lorraine, a smaller nation then she was in 1911 without Alsace-Lorraine. At her present rate of retrogression abe will number only 31,000,000 in 1950, as compared with her Present 30,000,000.”

THE LABOVE LAWS.

The Governor of New Guinea is Judge Murray, a man as upright and brilliant as his brother, Professor Gilbert Murray. He is far-sighted, and he holds the balance evenly between the whites and the blacks. The Government bas successful ly kept alcohol from the blacks, who never even learned to like it.
