A CRISIS IMPENDING.
An English gentleman, closely in touch with military men and matters, writes thus to a friend in Sydney:— "Recent inquiries among people -well informed lead me to believe that a crisis will arrive " much sooner than the public. have been, led to believe. -You. in.Australia have but little tnse left to make preparations, and you should at once try and get into a fit state of defence. I have often heard that you are dependent on us for your ammunition. Where will you be without it? Di(rectly war breaks out England will " want every. bullet for-Jier* own defence, and she hasn't got''too many even now. We shall get no warning when they are coming,, as the Germans are not such fools as to let us: know when thes- . coming. Remember the lesson, the.-French got when they were in trouble, and when their public men told them that the political horizon wa/3 quite clear. Impress on your people not to rely too much on us, as although willing to lend you. a hand we will nave all our work cut out in the North Sea."'-.
