GALLANT AUSTRALIANS.
TRIBUTE FROM THEIR LEADER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 7, 11.55 p.m. Sydney, April 7. There was a brilliant and enthusiastic assemblage at the Town Hall, when a State dinner was tendered to General Sir W. R. Birdwood. Speakers eulogised General Birdwood's leadership in heTping to make the great name that the Australian Army won. General Birdwood, in reply, paid a tribute to the splendid officers and men under him, to whom the honors belonged, and not to him. He felt like a man riding a bicycle—he sat still and the machine did the rest. Later, in the Domain, General Birdwood presented a large number of war decorations".—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
