WOULDN'T THE KAISER LIKE IT ?
NEW ZEALAND is apparently " under the eye " of the Germans. A contemporary quotes the following paragraph from the Lunebergerheide Nachrichten, a German newspaper:—"As soon as Germany has command of the seas, which will be before long, we would advise our Government to turn its attention towards an island named New Zealand. It would not take much to get possession of it, because they have only boys as soldiers, and are too far away from England to get any help from there. It is a very fertile land; it produces an enormous quantity of butter, cheese, beef, mutton, and wool, all products much needed in our country. The country is also rich in gold, coal, oil, and other minerals. The first nation of the world —Germany—ought to be in possession of it."
