A WELL-MERITED TRIBUTE.

ADMIRALTY EULOGISES SERVICES. OF MERCHANTMEN 1 AND FISHERMEN. Seceived Nov. 17, 55 pju. London, Nov. 15. The Board of Admiralty, in thanking the mercantile marine and fishing industry for their incomparable services in the war, says that without their loyal co-operation with the Navy, and their indomitable courage, the enemy's submarine campaign must inevitably have attained its object. Success was also largely due to the interest taken by owners in the defensive equipment of their •hips. The board also pays a tribute to the value of the convoy system. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assoc. and Reuter.
