WITH THE RED ARMY. NEAR
PEARL CITY. Oct. 24.-The Red
army Is advancing on Honolulu. The
invading hosts. driving relentlessly
forward. are almost in. the suburbs of
the city, and ct noon today they
threaten % strike at the very key Of
the defenses. Pearl Harbofs and the
city itseIf.
The repulbe of the attack by the
Blue defenders has been so far sue
cessful and in turn the Reds are now
the aggressors- active, eager to 60
forward and taking advantage Of
every opportunity to cut their way
down the island and toward Homo
lulu.
The Blue army, failing back in adj
lnirabie order but without chance to
stay the RED advance, Is retreating to
a point between Peaia City and Ho-
nolulu,. ii would appear to the Red
forces. The Reds expect to biyouac
at Pearl City tonight.
The Blues have a rear guard to
cover their retreat and have succeed
ed In harassing the Red advance con-
siderably.
Last night the Red army was
theoretically reinforced by the First
battalion of the Third Infantry, and
that battalion. though really a myth,
was theoretically guarding the sta
tion at Kawaihapai where the troops
first made good their foothold on
Oahu. Now it has been moved up to
support the main columns.
( Again have the Reds been unex-
pectedly- reinforced. Landing addi-
tional troops last night on the north
coast at Nanakuli.
Today was shifting, moving
twisting and turning fight that never
theless drove the Blue defenders
steadily back until at noon they had
retreated over about ten miles, a.
steady drive from their Schofield Bar
racks. II was fight between the RI
val cavalry forces, both armies work.
ing carefully under cover
The Red cavalry went ahead with
some independence, clearing the way
for the Red advance, and the morn.
ing was a continual fight by the dis
mounted cavalry of both armies.
