AUSTRALIANS IN LONDON
ADMIRATION FOR THE TROOPS. London, May 27. At a large meeting of Australians at the Trocadero to devise means to help the Australian wounded coming to England, Sir George Reid (High Commissioner for Australia) moved, expressing the meeting's ardent admiration for the exploits of the troops at the Dardanelles, extending sorrowful sympathy to the relatives of those who had fallen in battle, and sympathy to the wounded. Sir Georgo R-eid eulogised the late General Bridges's valuable services to the Commonwealth.
Sir Edmund Barton, in supporting the motion, said that those originating the war must bo brought to book, ana they could only do 60 by the complete conouest of the robber nation, "Schweinland.'' The Germane could not have peace by treaty, for a nation which scorned treaties could not be trusted to keep one in the future. Australians should not tolerate any peace that would not prevent a repetition of a pitiful war like the present in the lifetime of their sons and their sons' sons. The motion was carried. Several generous subscriptions were received to assist the war contingents' work among the wounded.
Sir Georpo Reid announced that a base was being established at Weymouth. to which men would be sent after their restoration to health.
