A collage of clipped passages traces disdain for mixed race integration, imperial ambitions, and sensational crime. It blends anecdote, poetry, and news blurbs from Sydney and New York, noting Darcy’s boxing fate, blackbird hunting lore, classroom humor, and war propaganda through aged editorials and verse by Leon Gellert.
A vivid account from Land and Water by A. Alege Walker describes Mesopotamian marching and river transport under brutal sun. British infantry, animals, and carts crawl toward Basra as barges and steamers endure heat, dust, and crowded decks while Arab villagers mix aid and danger in a landscape of endless desert and peril.
A polemical 1916 editorial critiques German threat rhetoric while praising Allied resilience. It argues Hindenburg’s retreat is not decisive, stresses Russian conspirators and Rasputin’s influence, and laments traitors who harmed Russia. The piece urges steadfast defense and renewed hope for victory.
An early 20th century discussion outlines Australia diversifying industrial base, focusing on tertiary sectors, roofing felt, and textile-like products. It notes potential for domestic production, costing about £1,800,000 and £330,000 scales, urging standardisation and local manufacture to reduce imports and strengthen federal defence industry support.
