A veteran of the first nine months

three great German smashes at Ypres

ture operator who is making a pic
torial record of what he does and
sees. Mr.. and Mrs. Schayer arrived in
Honolulu this morning on the Mat

Il am on my way around the world

points OF interest that win be visited.
But II will have the additional interest
Of being the complete record of one

Schayer. ~"-<.
Clad in clothes which popular fancy
would have newlyweds wear on a
honeymoon trip around the world, Mr..
Schayer and wife waved enthusiast
ticalIy to the strange crowd on the
wharf as they dropped into Honolulu
this morning. Taking off his cap, Mr..
Schayer bowed to the dubious people
on the wharf, who looked with curl

Mr.. Schayer went to France as q
