Truth (Adelaide Newspaper)
''Truth'' was the name of various weekly newspapers published in Adelaide, South Australia, at times between 1890 and 1964. History The first Adelaide newspaper to be titled ''Truth'' was published by J. C. Wharton in 1890, and modelled after the London ''Truth'', occupying much the same niche as ''Quiz'', that is to say, humorous, literate and morally conservative; and was short-lived. The second Adelaide ''Truth'' was founded in 1903 by Charles Walter Chandler (c. 1860 – 31 July 1936) and may have had some affiliation with the Sydney ''Truth'' of John Norton, and was brash, populist and sensational. E. J. McAlister (who had a printing works in an adjacent building) and Andrew McNamara (nominal publisher) were associates in publishing the paper. :Charles, who founded the Port Pirie ''Standard'' (a predecessor of '' The Recorder''), and the ''East Torrens Eagle'', was no stranger to controversy: in 1900 as owner and editor of the weekly ''Free Lance and Licensed Victuallers' ...

World War I Conscription In Australia
During the second half of World War I, the First Australian Imperial Force experienced a shortage of men as the number of men volunteering to fight overseas declined and the casualty rate increased. At the time, military service within the Commonwealth of Australia and its territories was compulsory for Australian men, but that requirement did not extend to conflict outside of Australia. In 1916, Prime Minister Billy Hughes called a plebiscite to determine public support for extending conscription to include military service outside the Commonwealth for the duration of the war. The referendum, held on 28 October 1916, narrowly rejected the proposal. A second plebiscite, held a year later on 20 December 1917, also failed (by a slightly larger margin) to gain a majority. The referendums caused significant debate and division in Australian society, and within the government. Hughes called the first referendum against the advice of his own Labor government, which led to the Labor Par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
