Veterans of Meuse-Argonne Offensive Receive Review General Kuhn Tells of Battle and Praises Troops SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, IT. Fept. 20. A heavy downpour of rain failed to stop the review held today by the 13th Fit-Id Artillery fa commemoration of the beginning of the Ueuse-Argonne offensive in which that regiment played a distinguished role. Instead of acting as a damper upon the occasion, the weather only served to more vividly recall the conditions under which, three rears ago today, the American troops "jumped off" on the offensive that was to mark the beginning of the end.

After the presentation of the Colors, in which Battery acted as Color Battery, the veterans of the Meuse-Argonne fell out and proceeded to the reviewing Etand where they received the review. After the completion of this ceremony the regiment was formed in mas to hear the addresses. "Sun Always Shining Behind Clouds' As the rain cleared away and the sun broke forth from behind the clouds, Lieutenant Colonel Brooke, the regimental commander, introduced the first speaker, Brigadier General Joseph E. Kuhn. "This only goes to show," remarked the general as he wiped away the rain drops from his face, "that the pun is always 's shining behind the clouds.

That is the way it was three years ago. September 6, 191S was misty, but not rainy. Three days lat- er the skies opened and it rained the proverbial 'cats and Things looked pretty black. I was in 'the line with my division just on the left of the 4th Division of which the 13th was a part. The American troops, thrown into the line atMhe critical point, had Btemmed the rising flood of German invasion and were then rolling it back.

In cac the plan of the UuiteJ States f-hippiiig board to th liners Hawkey State and Buckeye State vn a run from Los Angeles to the Orient, via Honolulu, is carried out, the Mat-son company will probably discontinue its Baltimore-Honolulu service. E. D. Tennev, president of Castle Cooke, agent of the Matson company under which the two bijr liners are being operated for the shipping board, eays that the plan has been put lip to the Matron company. A direct service to the Orient connecting the Southern California port with Honolulu is desired by the shipping board, in order to make an effective connection with tbe Philippines.

Mr. Tenney favors the establishment of such "a line. When the project will be carried out bo does not know. The tourifct bureau believes suci a line will accentuate tourist travel to Hawaii, on the ground that Los Angeles and Southern California in general is a tourist center. It is a question in shipping circles whether the Baltimore-San Pranciscw service has been worth while or that it can be eufiieiently developed to make it a popular and paying route.

The placing of the Buckeye6lato and the Hawkeye State on the Los An-geles-Honolulu-Oricnt route will eliminate them as sugar carriers from Honolulu to Sau Francisco, unless the return routing is by way cf San Fran was regarding the first battalion, the other the second and third. During this offensive the 13th was a heavy howitzer regiment, horse drawn. We had but about half of our complement of horses. During one of our night advances we advanced by night aud fired by day the column came to a halt. I went forward to find the cause.

I found that the first battalion had encountered a hill, winding and steep, much like the Honolulu side of the gulch on the Schofield road. The road, what there was left of it, was pitted with shell craters, littered with boulders, and slippery with mud. Due to the sharp curves the horses, even the few we had, could not be used. The men themselves, men who had marched all the previous night, were on the drag ropes and were pulling the heavy guns up the slope. "The other instance was much of the same nature.

Five of our twenty-four guns htd been put out of action and were left behind to be repaired by the first battalion. The second and third pushed forward with the remaining guns -and horses. The roads could aptly be termed impassable, mere liuet of hastily thrown together sand bags, rocks, and the debris of war. Ia some places they were not even wide enough for the wheels of the guns. The infantry was making stupendous advances.

Each nightfall found the artillery on the move to catch up with the advancing infantry. Pulling the howitzers by band, dragging them from the craters into which they rolled, willingly and cheerfully aiding the exhausted horses, the cannoneers toiled all night. Every daybreak found the" guns in position to support that day's advance. "These instances show the spirit of the 13th, a spirit of self-sacrifice, of willing and cheerful giving of all they had, and of stubborn, determined, stick-to-it-iveness that recognized no obstacle. It is this spirit that has been bequeathed to you of the 13th; it is up to you to carry on in" peace the fighting 'spirit of the 13th.

Master Sergeant Charles D. Walton of Headquarters xiattery, Master Sergeant James A. Regan of Service Battery, 1st Sergeant Elwood R. Quiiuby. Private Earl S.

Short, Staff Sergeant Edward C. Strack, 1st Sergeant John Sanders, and Sergeant Dana H. Price of the line batteries recounted the experience of their respective organizations during the great drive. Complimented by General Pershing Colonel Tieman N. Horn, commanding the 11th Field Artillery Brigade of which tho 13th is a part, made the closing remarks' of the ceremony.

He concluded hia addrss by reading letter from General Pershing In which the General of the Armies complimented the 11th Field Artillery Brigade on the excellent showing it had made in the recent Divisional review. SMITH IN DBTJG BTJSrNXSS Geo. W. Smith, for many years president and manager of Benson, Smith Companv, has again entered the drug business'. He has opened a house San Francisco under the style of "George W.

Smith Sons" and is operating as commission agent and Pacific Coast representative for numerous eastern manufacturing chemists and druggists. -Ky' I- i cisco to Los Angelts. Charles Drew, manacrr of the shipping department of Castle St Cooke, Mid yesterday that the Matson company has just establitshed a new triangular route to include San Francisco-Los Angelas-Honolulu, for freight only, by assigning the steamer Hyades, and in case the shipping board plan is made effective it might have an effect on tho Hyades project. The placing of the Hawkeye Stato and Buckeye State on the Lou Angeles-Honolulu route, under the Matson flag1, puts the big; shipping board boats in competition with cargo carrying of tho Mat sou line's privately owned steamer. The tourist bureaa feels that tlsa CMjuthcrn California tourist field i worth after ftJ it hopes see the new route established.

As I said before, things looked pretty black. Then at 11 o'clock on November 11 the sun came out, and we had won." Praises Physical Condition of Troops General Kuhn then recalled the arrival of the 13th Field Artillery.

in the Hawaiian Department in October, 1920, "with a strength of about 300 men. A few months later the regiment was augmented by. the arrival of several hundred recruits. "And believe me," said the General, "they were rookies. I had my hands full trying to manage -diHUg -thV-Riud and rain of last winter.

But as I look at vou now I ean hardly believe that you were the 'rookies of a year ago. A year in the Hawaiian climate has turne'd those rookies' into soldiers whose appear ance is a credit to the Hawaiian Department, whose troops have always been noted for their physical fitness." Major James A. Gillespie, who served with the 13th in this offensive, was the next speaker on the program. "I am not going to attempt to give you anything in the nature of a of the Meu.se-Argonne, he said, "you are all familiar with that. I only want to recall two instances which were typical of the spirit of the' 13th.

This is one of the results of the naval expedition which visited Palmyra islands last week from Pearl Harbor aboard Eagle boat 40, which, was conducted entirely by the air service attached to Pearl Harbor naval station. The seaplane view of the semi-circle of 50 tiny islets which form a coral rim within which are three lagoons of ture of funds, should this object ever become desirable or necessary." The naval air commander sirs that Palmyra, islands are sinjfularly free from storms, according to tho best records obtainable. The group is out of the storm center aud out of their track and he does not believe that storms originate there. It is a haven for calm weather. At this season of the year Palmyra islands perstructure, to keep them as clear as possible from tho deteriorating effects of salt spray, as far as practicable.

The assistant pilot then fctarted the motor on the water and tha plane took off into the air.

"While we were in this general locality we took occasion to investigate Kingman's reef, which is approximately 33 milca northwest of Palmyra.
