With mfssage to Eugene people straight from the front in France, nntj Stories of the war in itener.il, and maty tales of bi own lntcretin(t ex perience in action. Captain Thomas E. 1". Kiiiiion, of the -New Zealand army, will arrive in Eiisene todiy anil will i;eak at the armory tomorrow nigut oailer the direction of the National Se riiriry League and as a feature of the fourth I.il'erty drive. The battulinu to which Captain Sed Sn wis attached went first to Egypt, hter g.iinj to Prance. They took part In the battles of IMoeitstreet. Passchen dnele and the Heights of Abraham, and In the German offeusire this spring he, with h company, took part in the fizht at Amiens. He has Jnat reached tie west after a speaking engagement of several months in New York nn.i 01 her eastern states for the Ked C'roa and more luter for the I nited State emergency shipping board. He is said to be a most brilliant and foreeful speaker, and bia presentation of facta from the front and his experiences, aliic-h he gives with Lord Heading permission, will no doubt be beard with n.nch Interest. And bis suggestions for a policy to b adopted by the allies from an Auatrnlian'a point of view I regard to the future of the Pacific. t ample ; )n ' Orcgoa Who are naturally much interested in this topic, will no louht bring him large audiences. Before the war, Captain Seddon was member for Westland in the parliament tl New Zealand, repreaenting the Lib iwl party, which aeat he held for 12 renrs. He as aeeond ann of the late flight Honorable M. J. Seddon, P. C. ULD., who was for 13 yeara pree-.ier j New Zealand. Captain Seddon quotes from a letter phlch be reeved recently from a brother if fleer of the New Zealand field nrtll-IH-y, hat which was written before the tollips of the lnat German offensive, the foBowing: "The arrival of Aom-i-tana I of ccurse, bavin a terr'Jic ef Itct oa everything. . Tney are so keen lad useful. If all goes well for the next ilx weeks, the situation for the tier turns in a military way will be very llfflcult. Indeed." Speaking of hia experlencea with the llfferent public ineetinga he baa od- dreased. Captain Seddon expressed his intense admiration for the way in which the feeling of this country has changed. Particularly is thia change noticeable in New York, he said, where it was luke warm in May, but glowing hut in Au gust. In Wisconsin, where the German element so predominates. Captain Scii doo was much interested ill studying the feelings of the Aror-kans of German descent. Home meetings be addressed were composed entely of people who were the children of German-born par ents. In making inquiries of their em ployera he found that .hey bad worhed at war work diligently and loyally.

' ICowbera la the. world was there quicker understanding of thia war's significance than in Australia. It Is because the services formerly ren dered to Australia by the Mother Country have been withdrawn, be cause Ban-power has been reduced, because her lack of facilities has pre vented ber from supplying out of her great store the things which her allies so urgently need, and because ber sat isfaction with things ss they were has given way to a realisation of things as they are going to be, that the aston ishingly co-operative mind of Australia has bent to the task of preparation for the future. The war has shown how useless re sources of wealth are, either for serv ice or profit, unless facilities exist for sinking tbem available when and where they are wanted. With enor mous surplusage of wheat, wool, sugar, beef, and fruits, Australia has been forced to erect storage-houses and to risk millions In losses because of lack of transportation. Kor the Im portation of much needed manufac tured articles she has hnd to rely to a groat extent upon the uncertain visits of sailing-vessels. Coal and metuls bnve remained comparatively undevel oped because of Insufficient rail ways, waterways, and coastwise vessels materials for turning out ship-plates . ite It ti Piaktgtttl that thia; ahaUJ can. ba sssamhlarl. at.

CENTRA.U QUEENSLAND not happen again and (hat In the fu ture the Commonwealth will not have to rely on llrltlsh ships thnt a great shipbuilding program has been Inau gurated. Heretofore srniill vessels only have been built, nnd for the larger work the necessity of n suitable Industrial organization has been rec ognised. Necessary millennia for shipbuilding are at hand. There are huge deposits of Iron ore. Coko and limestone are readily available for the manufacture of pig Iron. Coal Acids are Inrge and the product Is of good quality. Indeed. It Is asserted thnt the New South Wales, mure economically per unit than they enn be assembled anywhere In the I'nlted States.

Australia Is cnrnble of Industrial expansion on a great scale. Her nat ural resnurces have never been sub jected to the exploitation easily possi ble In lands well provided will) rail roads and waterways. The Germans were making some beaduay In mining and In related metal Industries when the war broke oui. bat tliett holdings nave been seized and steps have been taken to prevent their return. Oil bearing shale exists In large quanti ties, nnd n considerable export busi ness in this product was done with Great Britain and America. The only oil refinery In the country was In New South Wales, but In the belief that de posits exist elsewhere the Common wealth Government has offered a boun ty totaling $337,500 for a period or four years. An American expert Is now exploring the oil resources In New Guinea, which the Australians sclied from the Germans nnd which they are determined to keep. The output of the Australian metal Industries for the next ten years has been contracted for. The second Inrg est electro-iinc plant In the world hns been established, and it Is reported that Great Britain has arranged to take the surplus of sine concentrates for the next ten years. Queensland hns an abundance of copper and tin. More con I than gold has been mined there of late, and large deposits of wolfram hove been discovered. New South ales has coal, silver, lead and gold. Much copper was produced there in 1017, and a plant for the manufac ture of copper wire and other goods has been established at Port Kimble, sixty miles from Sydney. In Victoria forty gold mining companies have com bined to Insure more economical pro- auction.

In the United States there Is one sheep to every three persons; In Australia there are twenty sheep to every one person. Only 2 per cent of the wool clip Is consumed tn Australia, although there are now twenty-live textile mills, and some effort Is being made to Increase local sales. Great lirimln may decide to take the exportable surplus. Cattle raising flourishes In Queens- -land nnd the Northern Territory, and much beef Is frozen for export This output of beef products and of butter and cheese Is to receive stimulation under the Government's plans for ex tending export business. Australia has an annual surplus of 40,000 tons of butter for export. Plans for enlarging the orchard areas of the conntry are being made, and New South Wales expects that the evaporation of fruit will become an Importnnt industry there. Jam to the value of millions of dollars Is now ex ported. Closely related to these agri cultural projects Is the purpose to el tend the timber Industry and sisal growing. Australia now Imports a great deal of pine from the I'nlted States nnd hopes to find a market here for her own Inrge quantities of hard wood. It Is proposed to encourage slsnl growing through the establish ment of co-operative communities of discharged soldiers. Communities will hj composed of about twenty men. and each soldier Is expected to be respon sible for the output of thirty acres.
