popular and well-liked by the officers
there. The Marine Corps will not have
any men i'm the meet. probably. because
the captain Of the Marines team at Sea
Girt charged the District soldiers with
spying on the soldiers and sailors. too.
When a District Guard official Inform
ed the captain that the Marines must
have been doing something which they
did not wish persons 10 see, If they sus-
pected outsiders of "spying" on them, he
took exception to it. and it is almost
certainty that no representative of
the Marine Corps will participate in
the Ordway meet.
