GOOD ADVICE.

| FROM ADMIRAL KING-HALL THE CIRCLE OF THE PARISH PUMP [By Eleotbic Teeeukaph— -Copyright 1 1 [United Press Association.] (Received ( J. 30 a.m.) Sydney, April 23. Admiral King-Hall, at a meeting of the Royal Society of Saint George, congratulated Australia on the progress of her Navy. He said the men entering it had been proved to be full of /.cal and amenable to discipline. They were proud of the service. There was no lack of entries. While avoiding politics, the Admiral said he ventured to make a few remarks: “it was most improboble that we would be able to keep this vast country unless it was effectively occupied. Every man and woman should study world politics to some extent, and not live in the narrow circle of the parish pump. Never allow the Navy to be the shuttlecock of political parties. Study the naval question. How do people here exist? Well, rnercnandise to the value of 210 million is yearly carried in ships, which "must in wartime be a sure and safe carriage; otherwise your trade stops. You cannot live, said the Admiral, by taking in each others’ washing.”
