AMERICAN FLEET
PROHIBITION PROBLEM RAISED and N.Z, Cable Association.) HONOLULU, June 27. One of the most important conferences held among naval officers, previous to the departure of the Fleet to Australia and New Zealand oc-
curred on the Seattle to-day, when sloven Admirals discussed techn-cal matters related to the movements of ships etc., and the conduct of the personnel, when in Australia. Ex-Maym- Luke oi Wellington, with a committee, visited the Seattle on several occasions and discussed with Admiral Coonfy the question drinking among men. Mr Luke declared that he believed prohibition in America had beneficially, affected the sailors. This has precipitated the prohibition question into the Fleet’s visit,to Australia and New Zealand, which hitherto had been und’.scussed, since it was generally understood the personnel should abide by the laws existing in the countries they vif t. It is a" known fret that many of the commanding officers are. total abstainers, notably Admiral Cole.
