Hide Supplies in Jungle.
Within a few hours all supplies
and equipment had been unloaded
and hidden in the jungle, and most
OF the boats were well on their way
back into safer waters. The COM
mander of the occupying forces said
that everything went off like clock
work and that the troops landed
and unloaded their equipment with
out a single casualty. There was
not even minor injury and no
loss Of material of any kind.
From the time Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, commander in chief OF this
new Allied offensive. toured the
camps at the takeoff site before
our departure until our troops be-
gan disappearing in the jungle on
Kiriwina, there wasn't a hitch in
the operation.
The occupation of Kiriwina is an
all-American show by Gen. Walter
krueger's 9th Army. Gen. Kruger
is a resident of Cincinnati. whose
wife is now at San Antonio, Tex.
His staff includes such military ex-
perts as Col. George Decker of Cats

Natives Help Troops.
The correspondents to accompany
the initial landing force were chosen
by lot. Other correspondents are
expected to accompany later forces.
The Americans found Kiriwina a

long and from 2 to 8 miles wide, It

lined trails averaging from l8 to "a
feet in width.
The Americans were quick to land
thehs jeeps and try out these level,
dry coral lanes. which seemed ideal
after New Guinea's muddy, noun
famous roads.
Several hundred well-trained ma

The landing forces carried a good

expected a rugged outdoor existence.
Food Is Abundant.
Mr.. Whitehouse invited us to
luncheon on roast wild pig, native
sweet potatoes, carrots. tomatoes.
huge slices of pacapaca and a great
dish Of tropical fruit salad with
custard, topped of with cheese and
mints. Baretooted. almost naked
native walters supplied us with iced
water and hot tea. A herd Of cows
promises fresh milk. while a flock
Of hens assures us Of plenty Of eggs
and chicken.
We set our typewriters up in the
veranda and while typing our stories
this afternoon We were interrupted
by bearers with tea and cakes.
Such is the tough life of a war
correspondent in Kiriwina.
All the troops are delighted with
their new assignment and agree 1t
is the finest place they've yet Wis
tied. During hikes to scattered new
camps. soldiers passed through many
picturesque native villages with
thatched roof huts. The natives had
never seen troops in such large num-
bers before, although there have
been instances Of American planes
being forced down on the island and
the survivors being rescued by ma
tives.
Natives Pose for Pictures.
Naked children and men and
women wearing only loin cloths
posed readily for pictures and sold
carved sticks and other souvenirs at
prices far below those charged in
New Guinea. The Army is taking
the precaution OF having all troops
hereafter do their buying through
Mr.. Whitehouse so native economy
will remain unspoiled.
On the war side, the occupation of
the Trobriands and Woodlark to the
east was a full-scale testing of
American type of landing craft. OBJ
servers declared the craft proved
definitely Of great value but this
landing brought out few defects
which will be corrected before fur
ther advances.
