Eighteenth Infantry. Colonel Charles B.
Hall ia command The Eighteenth has
now completed its second term of serv-
ice in the Far East After resting
here for a few days it viii proceed to
Fort LeavenwoTth.
The Logan encountered heavy wealth
er coming up from Honolulu. The pas
sengers say it was terrific. Captain
q Sunson, 10 whose wind burned face the
. passengers point for confirmation of
their story, says il was merely breezy,
just a little winter freshness. No dam
ase was done, however, and the troop
eT reached port some hours earlier than
The transport officials here expected.
The Logan made good time between
Manila and Nagasaki and surprised
even her own officers by reaching
Honolulu III a day less time than she
has ever made before.
In addition to 4 large number Of
cabin passengers the Logan brought
nom Manila 40 enlisted men OF the
Eighteenth Infantry, 20 casuals; 2 in
sane soldiers, left at Honolulu; % en-
listed men, United States Navy and
Marine Corps; 81 civilians, 20 dis
charged soldiers and % general pris-
oneIs. She brought % discharged
soldiers and one civilian from Nagasah
and from Honolulu she brought 5 en-
listed men, . discharged soldiers, ma
rines and 1 enlisted man OF the rev.
enUe cutter service. The Logan brought
home large number OF soldier dead.
The Eighteenth Infantry has a long
and honorable record. The regiment
was organized in the war Of 1872 and
fought throughout the struggle with
England. After that war the Eight
eenth was mustered out Of the serv-
ice, but The regiment was revived when
Lincoln called for troops and the regu-
lar army was enlarged. Through the
civil war and in many Indian cam
paigns the Eighteenth distinguished it
self and won glory during the Spanish
war. The reglmental battle flag is one of
The arny's most valued relics. Its stripes
are hidden under the embroidered
names OF fights in which it has been
carried and the silken banner is thread
bare and ragged. When the regiment
reaches Fort Leavenworth the flag will
be carefully laid away with the regi-
ment treasures and its place taken by
4 new one. The new flag Will bear no
names OF battles on its surface. In ac-
cCrdance with new regulation, the
names Of the battles in which the regi-
ment has participated VIII be engraved
on metal rings, riVeted around the flag
staff.
