AUSTRALIAN NAVY
NEW ADMIRAL’S ENTHUSIASM.
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable —Press Assn. —Copyright.)
LONDON, March 22. Rear-Admiral Kerr, who is going to Australian in August, is described by an Australian Press correspondent as a “keen-eyed, dark, slim personality,” who has manifested great interest in his “new job.” He spoke enthusiastically concerning his early days when he was on Australian and New Zealand stations, aboard the gunboat Platypus. “We were fitted out at Sydney and what I saw impressed me that the time was not far distant when real national greatness would be achieved. That, has now materialised, and I am intensely interested to see the results of the phenomenal advancement which has occurred since my visit. I know that I shall enjoy my work. I hope that mutual benefit will result.”
