AN AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
COMMENTS BY THE SPECTATOR. Received\August 27, 11.43 p.m. LONDON, August 27. The newspaper Spectator, disoussing the question of an Australian navy, asks: Had the only soldiers in Australia been the British regulars, where would the colonial contingents have come from for the Boer War? A loual navy, states the journal, may be of little use at the start, but it would be no handicap and wouH improve iu size and quality and pave tbe way to some joint system of Empire defence. It was tbe Motherland's dutj to encourage, and not throw oold t water on, Australia's desire @to ' take an active paTt in its own defence.
