Australian wounded coming to England, Sir..G; H. Keid, 0 Australian High Commissioner, moved /a' ; motion expressing the meeting's ardent' admiration for .the.'exploits of ■/ the troops at the Dardanelles and extending sorrowful sympathy to the relatives of those who had fallen in battle, and sympathy/to "the wounded. Sir G. H. Reid eulogised the valuable services of the late/General Bridges to the Commonwealth. v °. Sir Edmund Barton, who Jsupported , the motion, said that -those originating the war must be brought to book, That could only be done by ; the complete conquest of the; robber .nation, • ( 'Schweinland." The Germans could not have peace by treaty," for a nation which scorned treaties could riot be trusted to keep one in future. Australians should not tolerate any peace that did not prevent a repetition of a v'siivi\ war like the present in the lifetime of their sons and their sons' sons. The motion was carried, and several generous subscriptions were received to assist the work among the wounded. It was announced that a base' was being established ail Weymouth, to which men could bifr sent after their restoration to health.
