THE EX-CRUISER CRESCENT., The King’s old ship, the cruiser Crescent, which was the last vessel of the navy he commanded, ia going to be broken up—in Germany, whither it was recently towed. German workmen will break her up more cheaply than anyone else. The Crescent has been bought, however, by an English firm, but it is hinted, says an English paper, that she may be eventually sold to Germany when offered to the highest bidder. In June, 1898, the King, as .captain, commissioned the Crescent for a special cruise, and in it visited several seaport towns. During the war she was the first flagship of the Blockade Squadron, operating under Rear-Admiral Sir Dudley de Chair, between the Shetlands and Norway. In 1920 she was replaced by the battleship Glory, which took the name of Crescent, SHIPPING COMPETITION IN AUSTRALIA. , PROTECTING BRITISH INTERESTS. Statements that German shipping companies will at an early date inaugurate a steamship service to Australia are causing great interest in business and official quarters. Very low rates of wages are paid to the officers and men employed, and it is evident that the German lines would be run under conditions against which Britishowned shipping could not possibly compete. The Prime Minister (Mr Hughes), when questioned on the matter last week, declined to make any statement. It is understood, however, that if tho line is established the Commonwealth Ministry will take steps to protect British interests. Extensive powers are possessed by the commonwealth under the Navigation Act and in other ways; It would not b© a difficult matter to take steps which would enable British and Australian ships to maintain their present position, MANUKA FROM SYDNEY.
