A TYPICAL INSTANCE OF AUSTRALIA’S WAR ENTHUSIASM.—THE LAUNCHING OF THE SEVENTH WAR LOAN IN SYDNEY ON SEPTEMBER 16. THE GOVERNOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES (SIR WALTER DAVIDSON) OFFICIALLY OPENING THE WAR LOAN FROM THE DECK OF THE MODEL DESTROYER H.M.A.S. AUSTRALIA OPPOSITE THE COMMONWEALTH BANK IN MOORE STREET, SYDNEY. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the official ceremony held in Sydney to mark the opening of the latest War Loan in New South Wales. All the shops were specially decorated for the occasion, and indications pointed to the State raising its share of the £40,000,000 asked for in the Commonwealth. The chimes of mid-day had scarcely ceased when the bow gun of the model destroyer H.M.A.S. Australia fired the first shot. The Governor, mounting the steps to the fo’castle, pressed the button, and the report of the 12-pounder rang out amd the cheers of the crowd. The whistle of the boat sounded a joyous blast, and a thick column of smoke from the funnel completed the symbol of the sending of the Seventh War Loan on its voyage to success. Addressing those present, the Governor said: “I declare the Seventh War Loan started, the deck is cleared for action. Full steam ahead. The future of Sydney is on the sea, and the victory which the King’s ship Sydney won upon the sea is an omen of victory to-day. On what you give now your Commonwealth will build a great ship of State —Australia.”
