WILL OPEN STATION
Capt. Thorpe, of Marine Corps,
After Recruits

Capt. George Thorpe, of the United
States marine corps, has arrived in ST.
PauI to open a permanent marine re-
cruiting station. He will be joined by
a detail of three sergeants and three
privates Of the marine service as soon
as Quarters are secured. Branch sta
tions will be opened at Minneapolis
and Duluth, but the headquarters of
the corps for the Northwest will be
Hlaintained in st. Paul
"Kipling has well said, Soldier and
sailor, too in speaking of the marine .
said Capt. Thorpe yesterday 1--WE say
a marine is a soldier on ship and a
sailor on shore which perhaps ex-
presses Mr.. Kipling's sentiment. 1t is
really one of the most attractive arms
of the government service. The marine
sees the world, for his ship is usually
"a cruiser or battleship, and during
the three years of the marines enlist
ment goes to the ends of the earth.
Men are given shore leave at points of
interest, and there is no better way
for young man who wants to get a
wide scope of action than the marine
service.','
Capt. Thorpe comes to st. Paul from
Washington. He has just finished a
three years cruise on the San Fran
cisco, which went out of commission
recently at Mare island. In the line
of his official duty he recently headed
a column of marines who accompanied
a United States minister 700 miles into
the heart of Africa, where a treaty
was made with the natives of Ethi-
