V., and Gordon, ;.!.. Sec'y Uakejmade it plain that the war department does not consider these men as coming within the v lass of c onscientious objectors. The men refused service solely because they were atked to fight against Germany and Austria, in which countries most of them claimed to have relatives. Since they are not regarded as conscientious objectors. they will not have the right of a review of their case; by the special board appointed to he.ir ap peals of such objectors. Sec'y Baker held with the courts ; that sinci- the men were citizen, of j the United States regulativ ind icted ; into service under the selective j service law, they wre in duty bound i to fight for the country and that j they could not select the country; against which they would boar arm, j AUSTRALIA IS IN WAR TO END.

We have suffered in Australia, as elsewhere, from an insidious Germa.i propaganda. " Begarding New Guinea and other island in its vicinity, Premier Hughes said it was essential that control of th"-?e islands should be In the hands of Australia or under control of a friendly civilized r.ation. While not wishing to extend Australia's share of authority. that country was determined, lie si id. that what it had it would hold, and the government consequently stood committed to the policy of a Monro dostrine of the Pacific.
