ONLY ONE END.

DRAWING GERMANY'S FANGS. LONDON, June 10. Mr. W. F. Massey, interviewed, said that he brought from New Zealand i the promise of inflexible resolve to do all in her power to carry the war to a successful end. He was convinced that the only satisfactory end would be one which would render Germany incapable of resuming the war or continuing to menace the peaceful pro. gress of the free nations. The colonies in the Pacific ought not to"" be returned to Germany, for she would use them for naval bases, wireless stations, and aerodromes—a peril which must be avoided. Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed, said that he was impressed by the appearance of the country from a productive standpoint since his last visit. He thought that the heaviness of the prospective crops and the increase in the cultivated area proved that Germany's chance of starving Britain was "an absolute failure. The war could only end in pronounced and certain victory for the British Empire and her powerful allies. New Zealand had resolved to do her part till victory was attained. The sacrifice would be great, but the goal was the greater.
