THE HKKi OMAHA, THUKMJAY, .JULY 15. 15110. ATTITUDE TOWARD U.S.IIOREFRIENDLY Colonel Coffee Writei to Gould Dietx, Telling1 Something of Con dition! in Australia. UOT HOSTILE TO AMERICANS Anti-American feellnf, which has bn rlfa In Australia, la beginning to abate, peopla thera realizing; that with the combined abuee of tha Ger man and Australian newspapers the United Statea ha had a hard row to hoe. This in substance Is the word recelred Tuesday by Gould Diets from Colonel Frank Coffee, an American capitalist who has Ued In Sidney, Australia, for the last thirty year a. Colonel Coffee, a son. Frank, formerly a reporter tn Vanoourer and Melbourne, tnlkrtrd u a private four month no. but has been promoted until now he U ft lieutenant. Vftiioua causes are assigned for the hostile feeling toward America, The publle ha been very bitter, the writer ear, but attributes the hltteroeM of Aus tralian newspaper that hare been giving the tmpreasion that America has been Influenced against the allies. The writer thinks that the papers are to blame, not because of what Cher Ml', but by reason of what they omit. He thinks that if excerpts from the American press were printed, it would do much to altar bitter nee. Censorship Is Sfrlel. Censorship of the press and mail con tinues rery strict. Jn one instance an American passenger on the Ventura, from Pan Francisco to Sidney, wrote ft letter to some American friends In which he said: "I hear the censorship Is strong In A net r 1 1 a, so I will write you at sea." He wrote the letter on bourd and banded It to the purser at sea to be posted. When the censors boarded the veesel at Sidney they turned everything; Inside out. even opening mainline. The purser had tlie American's letter to be posted In Kris. When the censors found It they wanted to arrest the pur ser and only released him upon guaran tees that he would return to the port of Sidney: However, within the last fsw weeks the Australian papers have been quoting in terviews from Americans and from Aus tralians who have been visiting In America. These Interviews for the most part have been such ss to causa a re version tn favor of the American atti tude, although there la some soreness be cause America does not take part in the war on account of the death of American citisens on tna LAisitania and on other boats. One of the Indications of the sntl-Amsit-oan feeling fostered by tha Australian press cropped out In comment on tha In dian mutiny which was styled the "Amert. can Bred Sedition." The plot was sell to have been concocted on the raclflo coast, the Inference being that the plot tars belonged te the states. The reference was really Intended for ft shipload of In dians who had been blocked from enter taig a Canadian port, Vancouver, last Jul. Japan Works for Trade. Japanese are flooding the Australian territory with traveling men, agents, journalists and manufacturers, all of whom are anxious to gather in the Aus tralian trade. Phlpload of such agents are continually arriving, while the United Eta te baa been content to follow a course of apathy reflected more or less to tha consular department It Is the opinion of Colonel Coffee that the United Puttee should have a trade bureau In Australia, whloh would supply the states with monthUy reports. Commenting upon tha reports of consu lar agents for the United States, Colonel Coffee remarks: Presumably you think you get all the conditions, etc., from your consular agents; 1 hops you do. but I ant afraid the vintage Is pretty old by ths Urns It reaches America." Owing to th drouth In Australia, deal er in hay. butter and other commodities attempted to run up prices, but ths gov. ernment stepped In snd fixed ft rat be yond which ths dealers war not permit ted to go. Julia Some Speed Craft When Coming Down the Missouri Peceuse. th "Julia" proved to- be a fsster boat coming down stream In the Missouri rlvor than Omaha shippers had expected It to be, many of them who bad Intended to ship goods t Decatur were not ready for It when It arrived a few days ago. Those who had Intended to ship goods up rtream observed the time taken on the up-stream course and cal culated the round-trip on that basis, so much goods oriictrially Intended for the Julia was shipped by rail to ths nearest station to Pecatur to be taken overland. Then the little "Julia" dropped quietly down stream from Decatur to Omaha In seven hours, landing here ready to take on freight before tha freight Intended for it had been more than barely loaded on the cars. Here the "Julia" was ready to load and the freight cars had run away with Its cargo, because shippers did not know It was so swift on the down-stream trip. This fct delayed the boat ft little In getting started on Its second up-stream course. However, surnctent cargo was again mustered for It and It set out for Decatur yesterday afternoon. Ths shippers sre not yet adjusted to the boat conditions, but when they learn th schedule It Is expected there will be abundant cargo alt ths time for the little craft WIFE'S LOYALTY MAYSAYEJIDSBAUD Writei Strong Plea from Tar Away Canada to Sare the Father of Her Children.
