"The island was only a small one," he said, "barely a mile long and about half a mile broad There were 2,200 inhabitants, and, apart from the Governor, Lieut- Colonel Maxse, his suite, and the coastguards,. the population was mainly German. In the summer the island was a very fashionable water- ing-place, and almost every house was a boarding-house, but only the nobility of Germany could afford to EO there, The islahd was perfectly flat* on tha top, which consisted of a kind of red clay. and provided no shelter fo: man or heast Heavy ordnance could not be piaced on the top. The lower portion of the island consisted of rock and was absolutely rotten, the heavy winter frosts bringing down hiindreds of tons of soil at a time. "Along .the east side there 'were high cliffs, at the base of which the lower town was situated. The dis- tance from the edge of thé cliffs (o and this was the only available, piece of ground where Zeppelin sheds could be erected . Whenever 'we used the gans in practice the concussion brought down 'tons of earth. I don't think it is any wonder that the Germans have made it a coment island. British dreadnoughts could lie off Heligoland and level the lot $n halt an hour. A fact which serves fo illustrate the exceedingly rotten condition of the island geologically | is that about sixty yards from the main island there stands a pinnacle { 200 feet high, which was undoubt-, edly at one time a part of Heligoland. | Numbers of birds nest and lay there in the season. "About 1,800 miles from Heligo land there was a small island called Sdndy Island, at the back of which 480 and has 'just bee made Prime Minister of the province. Until he was about 10 years. old Willlam Morris Hughes knew but lit- Ue English, but when he had acquir- ed a better knowledge - of that lan- guage' he became a devoted student of it through tbe medium of classic works--the Bible, Shakespeare and Dickens. Before he was 20 he was obliged to earn his living as a state school (eacber and, bis health having suffered from the strain, he went to Australia. - ' This step bs took in 1884. For the next 10 years his life was a succes- slon of struggles to find work, keep it, and retain bis health. He was at various time: a boundury rider or ranch hand, a railredd freight station band, a shed-buflder, a pustbole dig- ger, a vineyard helper, an employe in different capacities en coastwise Steamers and a driver, and once he tramped 600 mies in search of em- ployment, only to be disappointed. An illness finally turned him to seeking his fortune in the ciiy of Sydoey, where he bad to - peddle hooks, mend umbrgllas. and do hl mos! anything ele 'which came to hand. At this stage he became a So- cialist and single taxer-- the latter from hearing lectures by Henry George, who was then on a tour of Australia and reading Mr. George's work, "Progress and Poverty." Upon the formation of the Labor party ig New South Wales as a separk ate entity, Mr. Hughes (hiew his whole soul into the movement and he may quite properly be said io be a founder -of the party as il exis! in Australia to-da¥. In 1894 Sfr. Hughes was elected a member of (he New South Wales legislative aber hly and he soon 'gained a repuiation as a trenchant speaker and hard worker It was during his service in this body that he iatroduced and had passed the Early Closing Act In 1801, when the firsi were held for the government of the forthcoming commonwealth; Mr. Hughes was elected a member of the House of Representatives by a con- stituency in Sydney which is compos- ed mostly of wharf laborers. Mr. Hughes was adimitied to the bar in 1903 and in 1904 he rose to cabinet rank. This was in Australia's first labor ministry--that of J. C. Watson. He was Minister for external Affaire during the short life of the Watson Goverti¥nent, but on the labor party's again coming.into power, in 1908, he became Attorney General. This posi- tion he has held in every successive labor cabinet and he does not expect to relinquish it now that he has be- come Prime Minister by the action of the labor caucus, which is to say he will assume the duties of both offices. elections Prisoners Who "Do Their Bit."
