NAVAL EXERCISES
VISIT OF AUSTRALIAN CRUISERS. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, June 14. Further provisional arrangements have been made for. combined naval exercises to be carried out in New Zealand waters by two cruisers from the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy and ships from the Royal Australian Navy. It is hoped the Australian cruisers Canberra and Australia will probably be accompanied by the destroyer Tattoo. They will arrive off the North Cape toward the end of August and they are expected to remain in New Zealand waters until the end of September. The Dunedin, the flagship of Commodore Burges-Watson, leaves to-mor-row on her annual island cruise and will return on August 15. By this time the Diomede, which is undergoing refit at the Devonport naval base, will probably be recommissioned and the two cruisers will meet the Australian ships off North Cape. A mock battle is to be held. All the ships will then probably put into Russell and a regatta and other competitions between the ships will be held. The warships are then expected to proceed to Auckland.
