MUST HAVE SHELTER
If the Marines Are to Remain on the
IsthmuS.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Temporary
structures for the health and accom-
mediation of the marines on the 18TH
mus of Panama are necessary if the
battalion is to be retained here, says
Brigadier General George F. Elliott,
commandant of the marine corps, in
his annual report, made public today.
He submits no estimates for this work.
Estimates for the Philippines are also
omitted, but the announcements is
made that he later will submit full
and complete recommendation con-
corning the organization and DISPOSE
ton of marines in the Philippines.
The most important recommends
ton for improvements in this country
is that for an appropriation of $3.50
900 for the construction of barrack
buildings at the navy yard at Mare
Island, and $4,000 for three addition
al sets of officers quarters
OF the trouble that has been expert
enced between the Marine band and
the musical unions of the country the
commandment says that 1t is only by
taking up outside work that the mem
bers of the band can make their
emoluments correspond to that amount
they would be able to earn in civil life
and he earnestly requests the depart
ment's attention to this situation.
