AUSTRALASIAN WOUNDED. LONDON ORGANISATION OF HELP. (Reccl. 1.15 p.mO LARGE FUND ESTABLISHED. LONDON, May 27. At a large meeting of Australasians, held at the Trocadero, to devise a means to help the Australian wounded, coming to England, Sir George Reid a meeting's ardent admiration of the exploits of the Australasian troops at the Dardanelles, and extending sorrowful sympathy to the relatives of those fallen in battle, and sympathy to the wounded. Sir George Reid eulogised General Bridges' valuable services to the community. Sir Edmund Barton, in supporting the motion, said that those originating the war must be brought-to book, and they could only do so by complete conquest of the robber nation of Schweinland. Germans could not have peace by treaty, for a nation which scorned treaties, could not be trusted to keep one. In future Australians should not tolerate any peace that would not prevent repetition of a pitiful war, like the present, in the life time of their sons and son's sons. The motion was earned. Several generous subscriptions have been received to assist the war contingents' work amongst the wounded. Sir George Reid announced that a base hospital is being established at Weymouth, to which men woold be sent, after their restoration to health. FIRST EXPERIENCESAUSTRALASIANS IN TURKEY.

Captain Beau, cabling on the 23rd, says that after three days' attack by the Allied infantry on Turkish positions, the Australian Brigade received orders to be in the fighting column in line with the New Zealand Brigade. Four hundred yards ahead lay the British firing trench, the. most advanced positon, and not connected with commuication trenches.

It was only a scrap to cover 1,200 yards,' but the moment the leading companies appeared they met a steady Are, the operations being, however, carried out as calmly as in Egypt. A perfect hail of shrapnel followed, out of which came the infantry as if nothing was happening, and reached the British trench where they took a breather. Then they advanced across open ground, men dropping fast, a further five hundred yards, where they dug themselves in and held the position. CHLORIDE MANUFACTURE, A TREMENDOUS-INDUSTRY.
