Hoping to see another dive-bombing exhibition as seen at Gatwick, Sussex, in 1938. Yours in anticipation, Derek Dunt 1 i June 9 The Thursday kn It- iaiH.

This gun was Gun No. 2 of Battery Eleventh Field Artillery. Serial No. 3125. It was also the first gun to hit the Sedan-Metz Railroad." 'Calamity Jane' is now in storage in Rock Island Arsenal, but the jegimental commander of the famous regiment has hopes that she will eventually again report for duty with the Eleventh and take up an honored post in the regiment's Sally Port at Schofield Barracks.

During the war the regiment lost one officer and 10 men killed and 43 wounded. The war dead were commemorated this past Friday when Memorial Day services were conducted by the regiment in the Sally Port. A bronz tablet with the names of the men killed in action is at the entrance to the Eleventh's headquarters building. On June 3, 1919, the regiment obseivcd its first birthday by embarking from Brest. A week later the Dragons arrived at Ho-boken, N.

J. I A few days later the regiment was moved to Camp Grant, 111., where it was demobilized. However, each battery was retained even though the strength in many cases was down to a dozen men. While at Camp Grant the coat-of-arms was designed. In present coat-of-arms can be found the winged horse, the insignia of the parent Si Field; the three eagles commemorating service in France, the red ttar of the Sixth Division, and as a crest a black lion from the arms of Stenay, France.

It is this olack lion which, giving the appearance of a dragon, gives the regiment its name, the Dragons. After about a year at Camp Grant, the regiment was brought up to full strength and trans-fered to Hawaii, arriving in the Islands in 1921. The regiment since 1921 has been stationed in Hawaii taking an active part in all training and' athletics. Just this past year the regiment copped the basketball title. The regiment has also, won two Knox trophy competi.

tions for excellence of field artillery firing. Another outstanding feature of the regiment is a most active Veterans Association who hold annual conventions. Each year the association convenes for Memorial Day sei-vices, in whiph the regiment pins. At the present time the Eleventh Field Artillery Is partially housed in a new battalion gun barracks, while the other two units of the concrete buildings are fast taking shape to form a new Eleventh Field shaped quadrangle of their own. Th regiment has both light and medium artillery and is the heavy-weapons regiment of the Eleventh Field Artillery Brigade.

this frightful war, "That is the most convincing and effective method of bombing I have ever seen. It could be awful if such an attack were made with a mass of dive bombers." In 1938 two months before Munich I heard these prophetic words, about ten years after dive bombing had been accepted as routine method of air attack in the United States. Up until now such expressions as the "top kick," the "old man," and "over the hill" had strictly unofficial military standing, but from the war department itself, the army has received definitions of them. Although no general glossary of army terms has yet been compiled, the commonly accepted meanings of those phrases, together with some two score other terms long familiar to barracks, are listed in a newly published goldier's handbook. Described as the first such publication since the world war and the first to carry the official stamp of the war department, this book will be given to every officer and man in the army.

It aims to help recruits learn the language pf their playmates and quickly, so as to ease their glide from civil to military life. Some of the definitions, such as "top kick," are already fixed in the vocabulary of recruits, but few would know beforehand that the "old man" meant commanding officer or to go "over the hill" still means to desert as it did in the world war and the era preceding it. Other definitions are downright quaint. For instance, "bobtail" means a dishonorable discharge; "blind," a money fine of a court martial sentence; "hash mark," a service stripe; "jawbone," to buy on credit or to shoot a weapon over a qualification course when it doesn't count for the record; "guardhouse lawyer," a person who knows little but talks much about regulations, military law, and soldier's "rights." "Bust," it seems, does not mean statuary in the army but the demotion of a non-commissioned officer to the grade of private. "Foxhole" is another deception of the same order.

It's the word for a pit dug by a soldier to protect his body. "Kick (without "top" before it) is a dishonorable discharge, "do-itag" is an identification dise, while 'lance-jack" is a temporary or acting corporal with the same duties and authority of a regularly appointed corporal, but without the pay of that grade. Thus in 10 easy lessons the raw recruits may master the speech that goes with their new life. However, when they return some day to civilian pursuits they may find it hard to talk in the old idiom. Then, people will gay, "It's a wise father that Francis Wai 298th, Will Go To Ft.

Entertainment has been planned by the Dragon staff and special banquet meals will be served in the mess halls at noon. After the entry of the United States into World War I the need of more field artillery for our Armv was imperative. Accordingly on June 3, 1917, the Sixth Field Artillery at Camp Harry T. Jmes, Arizona, received orders to detach ten officers and 200 men to form a new regiment to be known as the Eleventh.

Field Artillery. Starting with this cadre of trained men the regiment was brought up to war strength the assignment of recruits, horses and 4.7 howitzers. This particular stage in the regiment's history has gi'en rise to the story of "a thousand men who had never seen a horse, and a thousand horses who had never seen a man." Became Motorized Intensive garrison and field training was continued until April, 1918, at which time the regiment moved to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. In the meantime the regiment had become a part of the Sixth Field Artillery Brigade and nad given up its animals for trucks.

It wai decided to perpetuate the mounted spirit by using names rather than numbers for the new motor vehicles. The regiment's history shows such appropriate designations as "Rain-in-the-Face," "Salvage," "Useless," 'Mud Hen," for the trucks and 'Dynamite," and "Wild Cat," for the motorcycles. Such a system would now simplify the task of the M. for instead of having to track down Car Number USA 1111. 11th Field Artillery, Battery No.

11, he would merely have to report "Nuisance," speeding at 21 mph on Foote avenue. In the short time of three months the Eleventh was considered ready to go overseas, sailing from New York in July, 1918, for Liverpool. While the regiment was at full strength only 15 officers and 110 men had more than one year of service in the field artillery prior to our entry into World War I. Land At Cherbourg After less than a week in England, and a few days in a camp at Cherbourg, France, the regiment moved to the great artillery training center at Camp du Valdahon. The various batteries were billeted in nearby villages and the final training drive started on Aug.

6, 1918. Since no guns or transportation had been brought, new equipment of 155-mm. howitzers, five-ton tractors, FWD and Nash trucks (known then more affectionately as Wob-blies) and Hotchkiss machine guns were issued. Schools for officers and enlisted specialists and a well filled training schedule kept everyone fully occupied until training was completed on Oct. 15, 1918.

On Oct. 26, 1918, the regiment saw its first action while attached to the 58th Field Artillery Brigade in support of the 89th Division during the Meuse-Argonne offensive near Romange. Successive positions were occupied near Remonville, Barricourt and Beaufort until Nov. 11 found the regiment's headquarters at Beauclair, the first and second battalions near Pouilly and the third battalion near Moucourt Farm. Fired Last Shot It was at this time that the regiment is credited with firing the last artillery shot on the American Front.

To quote the official description from the Signal Corps photographic catalogue: 'Calamity Jane, the last gun fired on the American Fronts, and First Lt. H. F. PhilliDS, who fired it. Official time, 10.59.59; My mind raced as I read this card from the lad who needs tobacco.

Back in the summer of 1938 and it seems such a long time ago I was in Europe with my Grumman single-s eater fighting plane. The main reason for our being there was to attend the air show at Gatwick, England. German, Italian, French, and Royal Air Force airmen were busy displaying their airmanship before approximately English men, women and children. As I recall the details of that gay air day, it seems as if I am speaking of another world. The French pilot danced around the sky.

The Italian airman put his plane through intricate maneuvers. The Royal Air Force planes, some Hawker Hurricanes (no Spitfires), flew in formation. I recall the British antiaircraft gun battery commander who stopped my mechanic, Frank Tye, asking him if he had seen three antiaircraft guns. The commander had lost his guns somewhere along the crowded highways. We were there in the air, too, trying to dance and trying to talk by means of a radio in my ship via the British Broadcasting Station to Captain Dick Merrill, who was on board an Eastern Air Lines transport high over New York City.

Gosh, I was mad as a wet hen that day. It's a job for a 50-fingered, three-handed man to do aerobatics and hold a microphone to his lips, formulate sentences with one-half his mind, and plan each lingo. nows his own son Activities At A. N. YMCA! TeiiiitisT Ma Silirleileir AT FINISH LINE Cpl.

Those receiving the invitations are urged to accept if possible in order that a sufficient number of hostesses and dancing partners will be present. DANCE AT THE PARISH HALL One hundred and fifty men. coming mostly from the pond lilies and the smaller craft of the Fleet, attended a successful dance last week in the Parish Hall of the Central Union Church.

Devotees of Terpsichore had a marvelous workout particularly the "Belle of the Ball." The dance committee was deeply impressed by the excellent rhythm of the Richmond's band and especially by the volume of their music.

Distaff Doings The Territory of Hawaii is far ahead in the matter of conscription law. There is on the statutes' governing mobilization and conscription of private citizens for militia duty a law more drastic and far-reaching than the Burke-Wads-worth act.

The law, RLH 35, section 7810, page 1199 reads: "The militia shall consist of every able-bodied male citizen of the Territory, and every able-bodied male of foreign birth who has declared his intention and is eligible to become a citizen of the United States, who is more than 18 and less than 45 years of age, and shall be divided into two classes, the organized militia to be known as Hawaii National Guard, and the remainder to be known as the Reserve Militia."

It was pointed out that the Territorial law says "every" and not "some" able-bodied citizens, and says "shall" consist and not "may." The state of Florida has a similar law, which also is more drastic than the Burke-Wadsworth act. Government Workers Subject Col. Perry M. Smoot, selective service director for the Territory, seeing an Advertiser story of the Florida statute, pointed out that the Territory's law was more stringent.

The latter makes certain exceptions, but it specifically states that "in case of war, insurrection or rebellion, or of resistance to the execution of laws of the Territory, all employes of the unless physically disabled, shall report for duty and be subject to military duty." The following persons are exempt from military duty and enrollment: All persons exempted from military duty by the laws of the United States; all judges of the several courts of the Territory, and the officers and members of the legislature. All. retainers to the camp or posts, and all persons serving with the military in the field though not enlisted soldiers are to be subject to orders according to the rules and discipline of war. wun a stray muuKiii iur me jun-out and the next maneuver. The darned radio wasn't working.

I pulled everything. I twisted everything once and then again. The side-tones lacking in my earphones, told me something was wrong. I called the ground station for acknowledgment, while upside down, right side up and with the plane on its ear. No answer.

Dead as yesterday's newspaper. My talk to Merrill in New York and his answers, plus a description of what we were doing in the air, was supposed to blast through the field loudspeakers to the audience. But the radio was dead. My aero-batic flight was a flop a mess. While I was fiddling with it, the plane was acting tamely.

No show or rather a poor show. A poor aerobatic show and one I shall always regret especially since it was before a foreign audience. It was then I delivered to the to Senator David Trask yester By H. B. S.
