FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAND
BRIGHT SAYS ADMINISTRATOR
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.
May 24— Colonel Robert Logan, the
New Zealand Administrator of former
German Samoa, says the future of the
colony is very bright. Cattle-.raising
and cocoanut growing are two im
portant industries.
Colonel I/)gan said that formei
German Samoa had been self support
ing since New Zealand military occu
pation. In 1917 trade increased over
that of 1916 by over $1,00'0,000; and
the figures for 1918 would have been
a record but for the epidemic of in
fluenza. The increase in trade is now
nearly all with the United States.
Apia, said Colonel Logan, needs *i
basin and wharf where vessels may
discharge cargo in any weather in
stead of having to discharge in the
open roadstead.

AIR CRAFT DEVELOPMENT
BOOM TO THE MOVIE MAN
LONDON, May 24— Aircraft de
velopment during the last few years
has thrown open to the moving- pic
ture man an entirely new field. It
may be some years yet before flying
comes within the means of the ordi
nary person as a mode of travel but,
through the film he may experience
some of the artistic joys of aviation.
Already a certain amount of aerial
cinema photography has been carried
out successfully enough, at least, to
measue its possibilities. In the
near future, it is expected that magni
ficient mountain scenery will be pho
tographed from aircraft, not only in
Switzerland and in the United States,
but in Abyssinia, the Himalayas and
other less-explored regions of the
world.
The whole of a wonderful flight
from, say, San Francisco to London,
or from London to India or to Austral
ia. may in time, be shown to the pub
lic.

GIVES RELIEF TO BALKANS
GETTINJE. MONTENEGRO, May
24- This little Balkan country ha.s
been tasting the benefits of American
Red Cross relief work. Major Edwin G.
Dextor, of New York, and a staff of
forty five assistants, including physic
ians and nurses, have been feeding
the poor, caring for the sick and in
stituting American sanitary methods
for several weeks. The results have
evoked warm expressions of thanks
fiom the government. Relief stations
have been established at Cattaro, Pod
goritza, Nitshitz and Gettinje, and
several hundred tons of supplies have
already been distributed to the needy
and to the hospitals.
The American and Red Cross flags
which fly from the Red Cross Mission
warehouse in this ancient and pictur
esque city have excited wide interest
among the Montenegrins. The memb-1
ers of the mission have been made the
guests of the Montenegrin govern
ment.

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway oi
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 160 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as if
nature had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
which in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography for the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
and in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
NEW YORK OF ALASKA. 4 t
