AUSTRALIANS AND THE SEA.
I By Telegraph. Press Association. Copyright Sydney, Oct. 25. According to Admiral Beaumont the Australians are not yet a seafaring peoplo. There was, lie said, no difficulty in tho way of young Australians entering the navy, but applications were very few, possibly because the Australians saw a way to more profitable careers. It did not come natural to natives of a warm climate to follow the sea, but the sea-loving spirit of the English-speaking people might assert itself later on.
