AUSTRALIAN SQUADRON.
ITS OPERATIONS IN THE PACIFIC
SYDNEY, Sept. 16
Mr Millen, (Federal Minister.for Defence), in a statement reviewing the operations of the Australian squadron said that, acting in cooperation with the China squadron, Search for the enemy's cruisers had been prosecuted and wireless stations in the Pacific put out of action. The operations also included covering the New Zealand expedition's seizure of Samoa. In attending- first to the requirements of the sister Dominion, Ausralia showed a disinterestedness that would certainly be appreciated by New Zealand.
After referring to the capture of German possessions in New Guinea, New Britain and the Bismarck Archipelago, he said the operations would still call for some detached work before being completed. He added that the trade routes we're now safe.
