AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
REDUCTION IN STRENGTH. CONTRAST WITH NEW ZEALAND. (Received May 11, 11.25 p.m.) LONDON. May 11. The naval correspondent of the Morning Tost, commenting on the serious reductions in the Australian Navy, points out that the Australian Fleet, which is considerable on paper, is reckoned as part of the Royal Navy at tho recurring disarmament conferences. In consequence, the falling out of commission of many units, the latest being the aircraft-carrier Albatross, is a matter which deserves attention. The correspondent adds that New Zealand is generously training a reserve of officers, in addition to its valuable contribution in cruisers.
