VISIT FROM UNITED STATES CRUISERS
CALL AT AUCKLAND AFTER LEAVING SYDNEY (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, January 13. Four United States cruisers, one with a displacement of over 9000 tons and others of the lighter 7000-ton class, will visit New Zealand in February during a 20,000-mile cruise of the Pacific. After representing the United States at Sydney at the sesqui-centennial of New South Wales from January 25 until February 13, they will arrive at Auckland on February 17. Their stay in New Zealand waters will be brief, however, as they are scheduled to sail two days later for Tahiti on the homeward voyage. The squadron, which is under the command of Rear-Admiral J. C. Townsend, comprises the Louisville, Trenton. Memuhis and Milwaukee.
