The Tuesday Evening Hop Mt the
Hotel Largely, Attended.
The charm of the Tybee season be-
comes more potent as, the days grow
warmer, and the dance last night at
the hotel was the most largely attend
ed of the summer. 1t was partic-
ularly pleasant evening, for, though
there was no moon the sky was clear
and the breeze fresh from the rising
tide.
Many people went down in the after
noon for a swim. and afterwards en-
joyed supper at the hotel. Then fol-
lowed the pleasant stroll on the beach
by twilight, before the gayety Of the
evening began, and the return to the
pavilion when the shadows outside
made its bright lights most attractive
The late train brought down still great
err numbers of young people,-.audgt the
hours went swiftly until the las. train

able action on the bill when 1t comes

MARINE CORPS
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Recruiting mt savannah for Service
in the Islands.

Recruiting mt savannah for Service
in the Islands.
The recruiting office recently opened
in the postofice building by Lieut.. B.
B. Wogg. United States Marine Corps,
is daily giving out information to
those who are considering enlistment
In this branch of the service, and al
ready a number of applicants have
been examined and some will be ac-
cepted. The Marine Corps offers un-
usual inducements for young, unmar-
ried men, of good character and good
health.
For those who have a desire to see
foreign countries the marine corps
offers a great opportunity for the men
are always on large ships or stationed
in large ports. 1t is Of interest in this
connection to state that the two year
terms of many of the marines now in
the Philippines are now expiring and
recruits can be sent to Manila. At
least one battalion of marines will be
sent to the islands in a very short
time. 1t is also interesting to know
that the marines in the Philippines
have many advantages over men in
other branches of the service. They
are almost entirely stationed near Ma
Mia, which is city of 100000 people,
one of the largest seaports in the ORR
ent. There is always plenty of diver
sion and being kept away from the
swampy interior the health of the ma
rines is excellent. 1t is a matter of
record that the death rate at Cavite
in the barracks is less than in some of
the naval stations in the United
States.
Cavite. which is marine headquar-
tiers for the east IS only nine miles
from Manila, with frequent ferries and
the men from there are frequently
taken on the big ships cruising in
China and Japan. Often in the sum-
mer these ships go as far as Valdivos-
took, the great Siberian post.
II is of interest TO many in Savan-
nah to know that Lieut.. Wogg. who
came here a few weeks ago and is
over from Port Royal once or twice a
week. has been promoted TO the po-
sition OF captain and wsll be ordered
10 Washington for examination within
few weeks.
