The Right Honourable The Secretary of State for the Colonies, &c, &c, &c. 4 COLONIAL RKPORTS—ANNUAL. I.—FINANCE. 1. The revenue of the Protectorate for the year 1911-12 (exclu­ sive of the Imperial Grant-in-Aid and land sales) was £95,482, being £20,665 over the estimate. The corresponding figure for the preceding financial year, excluding Imperial Grant-in- Aid, land sales, and the British South Africa Company's contri­ bution of £8,000, was £86,430. Sales of Crown lands produced £1,874, as against £550 in the preceding year. Compared with the Estimates, there is a revenue increase under every head, with the exception of "Rents," which is short by £41, and " Interest," which is short by £34. The chief increases in revenue are:—Native hut taxes, £9,205; Customs, £5,695; port dues, Ac, £2,508; miscellaneous receipts, £1,079, Ac. 2. The total expenditure for the year was £118,070, which is £19 less than the Estimates and £5,701 more than was expended in 1910-11. Compared with the Estimates, the chief increases are as follows: — £ Pensions 1,337 Medical ... 4,854 Miscellaneous 1,306 Public works extraordinary ... 1,479 but ilxem are more than counterbalanced by savings on as many as thirteen heads of expenditure, the largest savings being: — £ Military ... 6,141 Deputy Governor 900 Post Office ... 761 District Administration 534 Customs 360 Marine Transport 294 Treasury 237 3. The following statement shows the revenue (inch live of land sale* and all other receipts except the Imperial ' ant-in- Aid) and expenditure for the last five years: — Revenue. Expenditure. £ £ 1907-08 75,197 105,587 1908-09 80,534 103,032 1909-10 76,647 108,728 1910-11 94,980 112,369 1911-12 97,356 118,070 II.—TRADE. 4. The external trade of tin* Protectorate (import and export), not including goods in transit, amounted in value to £446,125, as KtASALAND, l9ll-12. 6 against £368,621 in the year 1910-11, being an increase of £77,504, equal to 21 per cent. 5. The value of goods imported for home consumption has increased by £47,838 (239 per cent-). Kevenue yielding imports, excluding specie, goods imported by the Government, and rail­ way material, account for an increase of £43,378 (232 per cent.). Under all headings, except alcohol and sundries, there are sub** stantial increases, the principal items being as follows: textile goods (cotton piece goods, printed calicoes, and wearing apparel) £6,568, equal to 53 per cent. Provisions (including beer and wines) £9,539 or 545 per cent. Hardware (building material, household goods, glass ware, Ac.) £9,828 or 75 per cent., and free goods (agricultural implements and machinery, vehicles, Ac.) £18,314 or 62 per cent. In the value of alcohol imported there is a decrease of £334 (15 per cent.). 6. Of the total imports, 79 per cent, came from the United Kingdom, 6 per cent, from British Possessions, and 15 per cent, from foreign countries. The imports from the United Kingdom have increased by £44,000 (29 per cent.), while imports from Germany have decreased by £5,500, equal to 25 per cent. 7. In the quantity of produce exported there is a decrease of 1,541 tons, due to the restrictions put upon the export of maize and other foodstuffs and to the fact that the whole of the cotton crop produced last season could not be ginned and exported within the financial year. There is, however, an increase in the value of trade exports (deducting specie and Government exports) of £3,284 (2#2 per cent.) and including these items an increase of £29,000 (17*6 per cent.). The principal articles that show an increase are (1) tobacco, 441,978 lbs. in weight (25*9 per cent.) and £11,063 in value (259 per cent); (2) coffee, 452,143 lbs. in weight (1353 per cent.) and £9,419 in value (1353 per cent.); (3) mica, 96,881 lbs. in weight (1891 per cent.) and £4,296 in value (167-7 per cent.); (4) beeswax, 29,777 lbs. in weight (36*8 per cent.) and £1,489 in value (36'8 per cent.); (5) chillies, 20,017 lbs. in weight (132 per cent.) and £691 in value (27*3 per cent.); (6) cotton seed, 292,489 lbs, in weight (212 9 per cent.) and £533 in value (250 per cent.). 8. The abnormal increase in the export of coffee *8 due to the suitable weather conditions for bringing the trees into bearing which prevailed at the begii. ling of the wet season of 1910-11. The increase is not permanent. 9. The principal products in the export of which there is a decrease are (1) maize, 3,799,812 lbs. in weight and £5,013 in value (83*3 per cent.); (2) fibre, 21,220 lbs. in weight (66 per cent.) and £233 in value (70*6 per cent.); (3) cotton, 380,095 lbs. in weight (21*9 per cent.) and £14,558 (24*8 per cent.) in value, and (4) rubber, 11,762 lbs. in weight (197 per cent.) and £1,505 (14'J per cent.) in value. 10. As stated above the export of maize has been prohibited, owing to the scarcity of foodstuffs in the Protectorate, and the large decrease is thereby accounted for. 11. The quantity of cotton exported is not a true return of the quantity produced as it is estimated that 224,000 lbs. of lint 6 COLONIAL SEPOfeTB—ANNtJAL. cotton, being a part of last season's crop, remained in the country at the end of the financial year. That quantity reduces the shortage from the export of the previous year to 156,000 lbs., equal to 9 per cent. The abnormal and late rains in the first five months of 1911 considerably reduced the output of cotton on plantations in the Shire Highlands. 12. The supply of wild rubber is rapidly diminishing and plan­ tation rubber has not yet reached the productive stage. There is, therefore, a temporary decline in the export of this article. 13. The direction of the export trade has been in the following proportions, viz.—90 per cent, to the United Kingdom, 1 per cent, to British Possessions, and 0 per cent, to foreign countries. The exports to the United Kingdom have increased by 27 per cent., and to Germany by 10 per cent. 14. The value of goods imported from oversea which passed through the Protectorate in transit to surrounding territories has remained practically stationary. This trade is principally with Northern Rhodesia. 15. The value of the products of neighbouring countries, which were exported in transit, has increased by £13,000, equal to 169 per cent. The articles that show an increase are, in order of importance: rubber (from Portuguese East Africa), cotton (from Northern Rhodesia), and tobacco (from Portuguese East Africa). 16. During the first half of the year the transport co;u tions, so far as the state of the Shire river was concerned, \%c.e some­ what better than usual and steamers were able to reach rail-head until the middle of August. The transport of produce was thereby accelerated and no serious delays took place. Towards the end of the financial year, however, the conditions altered and difficulty was experienced in bringing steamers to Port Herald even in the months in which the river should be at iU greatest depth. In January, February, and March of the year under review the mean depth of the Shire river at Chiroiao was 6 ft. 4 in., 7 ft. 3 in., and 5 ft. 1 in., respectively, while in the previous year it was 8 ft. 1 in., 11 ft. 1 in., and 10 ft. in the same months. 17. The number of vessels that cleared " inwards" from Chinde was 161 as against 128 in the year 1910-11. These vessels transported 5,926 tons of general cargo, 373 European, 139 Indian, and 9,699 native passengers, showing an increase of 1,196 tons (25 per cent.), 38 Europeans, 45 Indians, and 5,905 natives. From Nyasaland to Chinde the number of vessels cleared was 182 —a decrease of 24 from the number cleared in the previous year— and they carried 3,753 tons uf produce (a decrease of 1,384 tons, equal to 27 per cent.), 284 European (increase 21), 97 Indian (increase 37), and 6,927 native (increase 4,362) passengers.

  • The Aeronautical Division, US Signal Corps By
    The First Air Force: The Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps By: Hannah Chan, FAA history intern The United States first used aviation warfare during the Civil War with the Union Army Balloon Corps (see Civil War Ballooning: The First U.S. War Fought on Land, at Sea, and in the Air). The lighter-than-air balloons helped to gather intelligence and accurately aim artillery. The Army dissolved the Balloon Corps in 1863, but it established a balloon section within the U.S. Signal Corps, the Army’s communication branch, during the Spanish-American War in 1892. This section contained only one balloon, but it successfully made several flights and even went to Cuba. However, the Army dissolved the section after the war in 1898, allowing the possibility of military aeronautics advancement to fade into the background. The Wright brothers' successful 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk was a catalyst for aviation innovation. Aviation pioneers, such as the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss, began to build heavier-than-air aircraft. Aviation accomplishments with the dirigible and planes, as well as communication innovations, caused U.S. Army Brigadier General James Allen, Chief Signal Officer of the Army, to create an Aeronautical Division on August 1, 1907. The A Signal Corps Balloon at the Aeronautics Division division was to “have charge of all matters Balloon Shed at Fort Myer, VA Photo: San Diego Air and Space Museum pertaining to military ballooning, air machines, and all kindred subjects.” At its creation, the division consisted of three people: Captain (Capt.) Charles deForest Chandler, head of the division, Corporal (Cpl.) Edward Ward, and First-class Private (Pfc.) Joseph E.

Labor uprisings at the turn of the century are more frequently envisioned in urban slums with overcrowded sweat shops and tenements jammed with immigrant workers. Muscatine, Iowa was never so unfortunate. The small city on the bluffs of the Mississippi River was sur- rounded by the agrarian culture and economy of Iowa and Illinois. But lodged in this rural environment was a booming button industry that all but monopolized the city and the local labor force. The strike of the Muscatine button workers' union in 1911-12 is a significant example of the chaos inflicted on a rural community in the process of industrialization. The history of the strike includes the story of community dynamics as well as industrial conflict. On February 25, 1911 a majority of the forty-three fresh- water pearl button factories in Muscatine shut down produc- tion. The manufacturers claimed that the shutdown was due to overproduction. The 2,500 laid-off workers declared it was a threat against their newly organized union.

  • Plague in the Orient with Special Reference to the Manchurian Outbreaks
    62 PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE MANCHURIAN OUTBREAKS. BY WU LIEN TEH, M.A., M.D., B.C. (CANTAB), LITT.D. (PEKING), LL.D. (HONGKONG). Director and Chief Medical Officer, Manchurian Plague Prevention Service; President, International Plague Conference, Mukden, 1911. PLAGUE is essentially an oriental disease, and whether Dr W. J. Simpson be right or wrong in naming China's south-western province of Yunnan as its primary focus of infection, there is no doubt that since the great pandemic of 1894 the endemic areas have increased both in number and extent. The vast Empire of India with its 320 million people may be considered per- manently infected, although certain administrative areas like the Punjab, the Presidency of Bombay, and the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh suffer to a greater extent than the hilly Province of Assam where during the last six years only one case has been recorded. During the last 18 years, over ten million persons have died of the pest in India alone. In other parts of Asia frequent outbreaks of plague have occurred during recent years, e.g. Ceylon, Straits Settlements, Dutch East Indies, Siam, Indo-China, Japan, Hongkong, the provinces of Kwangtung and Fukien (particularly at the ports of Canton, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow), Manchuria and Siberia. The coal mining centre of Tongshan three hours by rail from Tientsin was infected by some bubonic cases from Hongkong in 1898 and lost a thousand lives in four months. The port of Newchwang (Yinkow) in South Manchuria was invaded in 1899 (probably again through vessels from the south) and lost in five months 2000 people.
