AMERICAN NAVAL VISIT
THE 1908 CRUISE RECALLED. ADMIRAL COONTZ’S SOUND ADVICE. Press Association—By Telegraph Copyright. HONOLULU, June 20. (Received June 21, at 11.5 p.m.) At the Admiral’s inspection on board the Seattle this morning Admiral Coontz told the officers and men something about the fleet’s cruise in 1908 and the favourable impression created by the personnel and appearance of the ships and the smartness of the enlisted men. He commented on the cordiality of the Australian and New Zealand reception, and the delightful time spent by the Americans, and impressed upon the crew the necessity of deserving the welcome which was impending. The Admiral described the interesting trips throughout Australia afforded even the enlisted men in 1908 and the real educational value these excursions offered. Admiral Coontz concluded by calling upon the men present not only to be of smart, cleancut appearance and to have a clean ship upon arrival at Australia and New Zealand, but a fine spirit to conform with the fine spirit of the Australians and New Zealanders.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
