SENTIMENT V PRACTICE
Australian and N.Z, Cable Association. LONDON, November 19. There are mnay protests from Ireland against the proposal to break up and sell the steamer River Clyde, which was beached at Gallipoli. It is suggested the vessel should be sent to Dublin as a memorial of the participation of the Irish in the Gallipoli landing. The Admiralty replies that any attempt to bring the snip homewards will probably-result in her foundering, and it is better to convert her into cash. Moreover, says a prominent commander, the Anzacs might dispute Ireland’s claim.
