WARSHIP’S MOVEMENTS.
RUMOURS IN ENGLAND. DESTINATION OF THE AUSTRALIA. Received September 26, 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 25. A Sun-Herald Service message says that nothing is known regarding Australian rumours that the cruiser Australia is returning to Australia, which is thought unlikely. On the contrary, the cruiser is probably proceeding to Greek ports, joining tiie First Cruiser Squadron in accordance with the original programme, where there is excellent opportunity for gunnery and speed exercises under" emergency conditions. The Admiralty’s latest reixirt is that the Australia arrived at Alexandria on September. 20. Warships’ daily movements are not disclosed during the present international situation.
A Canberra message published yesterday stated that the Federal Government had no intention of complying with the Labour demand for the recall of the cruiser Australia from the Mediterranean.
