William Ferguson Mas- sey, who for th,e last seven years has been Prim.e Minister of New Zeala.nd and. Minister of Lands and Labor since 1912. He was not at liberty to discuss What was done and said at the session of the Cabinet and at the Imperial War Conference recently in London, but he had something defi- nite to say to the New York Times about the recent speech by Dr. Solf, German Minister' for the Colonies (although Germany has no such pos- sessions), who put the colonial aiin at the very 'forefront of German war aims. "Dr. So lf was once governor of the Samoa Islands," Premier Massey ob- served, "and we know something about him in New Zealand. It is in- teresting to recall a remark he made just after this war • began. When something was said to him about the loss of Germany's col- onies he said, in effect: It is Great Britain's turn to -day. When peace comes it will be our turn. Then we shall not be satisfied merely with the return to us of all our colonies, but we shall demand and take some of those now in Great Britain's pos- session?

The truth about the matter is that -the Crown Prince is a genius for playing the mob. Hedoesn't care any more for the mob thansdoes the Kaiser. The mob causes hif3 royal blood to revolt.

Her last words on earth were: "Dear friends, I am. going Where there won't be 310 serubbing, nor sweepine,,,n nor sewing. evbrything tffere is exact to my wishes.

The lines were written by Cathe- rine .Allsop, a Salseffield, Eng., washer- woman-, who hanged herself on a piece of clothesline on July 31, 1905.
