Acceptance of the invitation broke
up the itinerary previously announced
and the Bureau of Navigation is busy
drafting a new one. The fleet will
sail from San Francisco July 6 for
Hawaii. The next port visited will
be Melbourne or Sydney, Australia.
1t had been intended that the fleet
should go from Australia direct to
the Philippines, but in the meantime
New Zealand has sent an urgent invi-
tation. This could have been de-
clined had not the Japanese invita-
ton been accepted. 1t is probable
that New Zealand will be visited.
Then the fleet will go either direct
ly to Manaaa and call on Japan on the
way home, or first to Yokohama, call
ing at Manila later This part of the
itinerary will depend on economy of
coal and time. Yokohama has been
selected as the Japanese port to be
visited, as the United States has a
coaling station there.
The acceptance of the Japanese in
vitation is regarded in official circles
as of Importance in the way of a
demonstration of the cordially exist
ing between the American and jap
anese governments. The added trip
is nearly equal in distance to a voy-
age from New York to Europe.
