VISIT IN
APRIL To Bring
THOUSANDS HERE
Coming Of Secretary Daniels
and Fleet of Five BattIeShips
is Big Event foe Hawaii

Announcement made by the Star
Bulletin Saturday. that division OF
the Atlantic feet, consisting of prob
ably five battleships Of the -nrst line,
would come to Hawaii in April. has
created widespread interest in both
civilian and service circles here. 1t
will be the most important naval visit
received by Hawaii since the Atlantic
fleet called here on It's famous round
the-world cruise in 1908.
Beyond the fact that FIVE battleships
in port for even q few days will make
an enormous difference to trade con-
ditions, and that the thousands of
Jackies and hundreds of officers max
ing up the divisions compliment will
keep things humming every minute OF
the time. stands out the ultimate bene-
fit to the local naval establishment
that will result from the visit Of Sec
retary OF the Navy Daniels, Chairman
Padgett of the house naval commit
tee, and probably several other higher
ups of the navy. The secretary and
the Influential legislators viii have a
chance to see Pearl Harbor at first
hand, and obtain grasp on the sit
uation that no amount of map study
and report reading could give them.
Nothing official as to the visit OF
the 1--WE ships has been heard in ON,
cial circles here. but there is no doubt
expression on that score, because the
regular channels of correspondence
are somewhat devious, and what.
comes td the Star Bulletin by cable 81
apt to come by the official mail when
all arrangements are completed at the
other end of the line.
Nothing having been heard, 1t is inn
possible to state whether the visiting
baitleships will be berthed at Pearl
Harbor or at Honolulu, but the guess
is that they will be docked on the
city, with possibly cruise to the
new naval base.
Another suggestion that has been
made is that the ships will probably
follow the custom set by the Pacific
feet. and make the run to Hilo, SO
that the men may have chance to
visit the volcano. This would be di-.
rectly in line with Secretary Daniels,
well established policy Of giving the
enlisted men of the navy every chance
OF seeing the world. and visiting
places of interest whenever practices
Bile. When the four armored cruisers
of the Pacific feet we're at Honolulu
for several months during the winter
of ls11-1s12, every ship visited the big
island. and almost all the men took
advantage of the chance to see Nj
lauea, which was then very active.
The Atlantic feet of which Rear.
admiral Frank Fletcher is now com
mander in chief, is composed OF four
divisions of Eve battleships each, ana
a cruiser squadron Of IA vessels.
Which of these divisions is destined
for the Pacific cruise is not known at
the present time.
! The ships which are grouped In di-
visions are as follows: 4
New York, flagship of commander
in chief. First Division: Arkansas,
Delaware, North Dakota, Texas, Wyo-
ming. Second Division: Utah, Flor
ida, Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina.
Third Division: New Jersey, Georgia,
Nebraska, Rhode Island, Virginia.
