From Our Own Correspondent.
APIA, April 14.
THE visit of two Japanese training ships is announced for the King’s birthday, June 3 next. The last Japanese man-of-war to call at Western Samoa visited Apia in 1915, during the war.
The visiting warships, the Yakumo and Asama, each of over 9,000 tons, have a complement of 1,600 men. They will constitute the largest naval units to arrive in Samoa since the visit of the American battlecruisers Maryland and Western Virginia.
