THE DEFENCE OF AUSTRALIA
LOUD KITCHENEK'S SCHEME. TO BE PUT IN 10 OPERATION. Received February 16, 9.30 p.m. SYDNEY, February 16. Speaking »t Maitland Mr Deakin said the Government had received from Lord Kitchener a scheme in consonance with the Defence Act, which would be fou.id to throw it into a new shape, to make it more practicably effective in its parts and altogether, as they could scarcely have accomplished it without the advice of the man, who had already made two or three armies for service on behalf ot the Empire, and reinforced by hisjauthority the scherre would be put into operation at once. The preliminary arrangements and appointments were already being made. It was a scheme not only for raising men and organising them, but, a'so, for arising them and making themselves self-dependent in the matter of ammunition, small arms and cordite. The scheme would enable Australia to attend to herself in the Empire, and to assist the Mother Country to stand against the world.
