NAVAL MATTERS.

SYDNEY, This day. In view of the reduction in the personnel of the Australian Navy, the consequent need for fewer officers, and the necessity for retrenchment, the question of closing Jervois Bay Naval College or the adoption of a scheme to include the training of naval aviators anfl mercantile marine officers is under consideration. One suggestion is that arrangement® for training New Zealand cadets at the College, which fell through owing to the war should be revived. The ’ fieraTd says New Zealand is building up its own naval and possibly negotiations will be entered on for the training of her officers at the College.
