NEW AUSTRALIAN
CABINET HEADED
BY LABOR LEADER
Premier Hughes and His Min
istry Has Resigned; Defeat
of Conscription Bill Be
lieved Responsible.
London, Jan. 8. The Australian
Sabinet, headed by William Morris
Hughes, has resigned, according to
Reuter's dispatch from Melbourne.
Frank G. Tudor, labor leader, has
been summoned to form a new minis-
tr.
Since the defeat of the govern
ment's conscription bill in Australia
it has been reported that Premier
Hur'ies would resign. On the defeat
of the conscription bill in November,
1916, Premier Hughes tendered the
resignation of his cabinet.
A new cabinet, however, was
formed with Hughes as premier.
' Last fall he again brought up a
conscription bill and in the election
shortly before Christmas conscrip
tion was debated by a majority
greater than in 1916. The majority
against conscription was nearly 200,
000, Australian soldiers giving a ma
jority against the bill also. Frank G.
Tudor was minister of trade and cus
toms in the Fisher cabinet, which re
signed in the spring of 1909.
May Hunter Finally Gets
Letter Through Censors
A letter from May Hunter, noted
English pianist and composer, has at
last penetrated the nets of censorship
and has reached-a friend in Omaha.
Miss Hunter has endeavored for two
years to get in communication with
Omaha, but, owing to some small
mention of the war, her letters have
(ailed to reach their destination.
However, in the midst of common
place discussion, she bursts out with
characteristic emotion, "When is it all
going to end! Our beautiful country
is all tears But we are
strong strong to win and when
the war lords are conquered there
niust be a better, surer peace for us
all and for the German people, too."
Miss Hunter was at one time a pu
pil o? Prof. Alois Reckdendorf of the
Leipzig Conservatorium. Her fame
as a composer spread rapidly, follow
ing on the heels of her concert suc
cesses. Since the war she has been
doing her utmost to aid her sufferiu ;
country, giving her services freely,
not only a3 a musician, but as a hos
pital worker.
.The letter recently received by Mrs.
W. E. Dally of Omaha, was dated Oc
tober 12, 1917. Much of it had been
crossed out by the censor.
