The Prime Minister of Australia, William Morris Hughes, a small-minded, insensitive, violent man, directed a furious campaign in favour of a huge indemnity.

If we look next to Australia, we find a country of more than two-thirds the area of the United States, with a temperate climate and immense resources, agricultural and mineral,a country sparsely peopled by a race of irredeemable savages hardly above the level of brutes.

In Australia the city of Melbourne was founded in 1837, the year when the present queen of England began to reign, and the state of which it is the capital was hence called Victoria.

Now a century hence, with a population of six hundred millions in the United States, and a hundred and fifty millions in Australia and New Zealand, to say nothing of the increase of power in other parts of the English-speaking world, the relative weights will be very different from what they were in 1788.

If it was Canada, Australia or South Africa that had to be placated, Mr. Lloyd George would not have dared to ignore them.

"I went to Australia, Ida," he said in a low voice, every note of which was pitched to love's harmony: it soothed while it rejoiced her.

After a sleepless night, worse even than some of the worst he had spent in Australia, and after a pretence at breakfast, he went slowly up to the Villa.

He had given her, mostly in answer to her eager questions, a very abbreviated account of his life in Australia; telling her less even than he had told Ida; and it is needless to remark, saying nothing of the cause of his hasty return.

"Almost as hot as in Australia," he said, languidly, but watching her out of the tail of his eye.

"Have youerwalked from Australia, or flown?" Stafford stared.

"If I'd been in love with such a peerless creature, I shouldn't have left her to go tramping after cattle in Australia.

that is our shepherd in Australia; isn't he funny?

I would go to Australia, and be a gentle shepherd on an imposing scale.

"Arrived in Australia, I at once made myself the proprietor of a considerable farm, and stocked it abundantly with sheep.

The same enterprise and energy which in modern days made England the first manufacturing country of the world was then, in fact, fast pressing her forward to the place which Australia now holds towards modern Europe,the great wool-growing country, the centre from whence the raw material for commerce was supplied.

He had been in foreign countries; he had herded sheep in Australia (so he said), and certainly from his knowledge of the country he had wandered with the gamboleros of South America; he had gone for gold to Alaska, and worked in the lumber camps of the Pacific Northwest.

Love letter (by V-mail from Australia) (In The New Yorker, June 12, 1943)

Probably he was too rough and vehement to suit the fastidious ears of the most refined city in Italy.

He was not only the most eloquent preacher in Italy, probably in the world, but his eloquence was marked by boldness, earnestness, almost fierceness.

The premature death of this magnificent prince made a great sensation throughout Italy, and produced a change in the politics of Florence, for the people began to see their political degradation.

Savonarola began his political career with terrible denunciations, from his cathedral pulpit, of the political evils of his day, not merely in Florence but throughout Italy.

He embraced all Italy in his glance.

thou hast made thy deformity apparent to all the world; thou hast multiplied thy fornications in Italy, in France, in Spain, in every country.

He would urge throughout Italy a reformation of morals.

Savonarola was transcendent in his oratorical gifts, the like of which has never before nor since been witnessed in Italy.

The Pope became furious, to be thus balked by a Dominican monk, and in one of the cities of Italy,a city that had not rebelled against his authority.

All Rome and Italy talked of the audacity of the man.

I had enough for Italy, for a season in Paris, for a little sport in Hungary, even for a month or two at Melton.

If I meet with no accidents, I shall return in three months; for I go merely to give George a fair start, though, when there, I shall have an eye to some other business, and take a run to Italy to look in upon our good old friends, Madame and the Signor.
