THE FLEET'S CRIPPLES. AN AUSTRALIAN NAVY. HIGHLY FAVOURABLE NEWSPAPER SUPPORT. Bcecived 27, 10.11 p.m. London, August 27. There ore seven British battleships aud two large cruisers helpless through damage. The ." Spectator " discussing the question of an Australian navy asks : " Had the only soldiers in Australia been British regulars, where would the Colonial contingents haye come from for the Boer war. A .ocal navy may be little use at the start, but it would be no handicap, and would improve in size and quality, and pave the way for some joint system of Empire defence. Whatever the strategical objections to it, the Motherland's duty is to encourage, not to throw cold water on Australia's desire to take an active part in her own defence. Corporate feeling throughout the Empire can only arise out of the prosperity and vigor of its separate parts, and ultimate consolidation would be aided, rather than hindered, by the rise of the parts to a higher level of public duty.'
