DE FENCE OF AUSTRALIA
LORD KITCHENER'S PROGRAMME. ADDITIONAL . £IOO,OOO REQUIRED. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Sydney, February 21. Speaking at Tamworth, Mr. Deakin, Federal Premier, said he thought Lord Kitchener's report should receive unqualified support and endorsement. It was qualified to bring out the national ability of Australia, and it was not impossible that the future soldier in Australia, as in Napoleon's time, would carry a marshal's baton in his knapsack. The scheme demanded £IOO,OOO more than the Government's original proposals intended, but it was worth it, for their organisation would be complete. AUSTRALIA'S NAVY. Sydney, February 21. Australian officers and men are to be sent to England as crews to bring out the new destroyers.
