gressman's Sons.

Such a time as they probably have
never had before is being shown Geor-
gle and Alexander Uannoch. five and
twelve years old. respectively. by the
two sons Of Representative knowland
of California. These little guests"
came all the way across the continent
from Mr.. Knowland's home city in Cali
fornia to see their brother Mike, who
was supposed to be employed in gypsy
fortune-telling establishment here.
When they arrived in Washington
Mike was not to be found, and the
youngsters, penniless, were taken to
the house of detention, where Mr..
Knowland became interested in them,
fitting out in a nice new suit the
younger of the two, who came here in
overalls and jumper.
Insisted on Coming Along.
When the older boy was put on the
train by the mother and father at Oak
land the small one could not bear to
see his brother leave, and so he came
along in his everyday clothes.
Moving picture shows furnished the
principal entertainment for the two boy 8.

i've known Mayor Gaynor for thirty
years, and admire him very much. No

MARINE CORPS READY
FOR EMERGENCY CALL
Thousand Men Prepared to
Sail From Philadelphia
Within Few Hours.

While the United States Marine Corps
has not been preparing for any particu-
lar emergency, that branch of the service
has been made so mobile that on few
hours notice it can be ready to start
for any place where needed. That con-
ditiOn applies in general to the entire
Marine Corps, but more particularly to
that portion OF 1t which is stationed at
Philadelphia. From the latter port the
1000 marines now there would be ready
to take transport and sail away on the
shortest possible notice. AS far as the
men themselves are concerned, they
would all be at their posts, with all the
paraphernalia belonging to them, in two
hours after the call came, and every
man would be there, for the Marine
which is filed up to the last man, there
being not vacancy In the ranks. OF
the 1922 marines, not counting officers,
many more ale stationed at Philade phia
than at any other point At Norfolk
there are almost 7OO but many of them
are recruits, not ready for service until
they have been in training at least ten
weeks.
Speed Important Element.
The reason for the especial prepared
ness of the marines at Philadelphia to
res ond most promptly to a call is be-
cause Of the advance base" training
which is given them there. Speed is
the element which enters to a greater
degree probably than any other into
their training. An hours loss of time
In reaching and holding some particu-
larly desired strategic po-nt in the
enemy'S territory or elsewhere may give
the enemy an advantage which weeks
of hard fighting and maneuvering could
hardly overcome, and which possibly
never could be overcome. For that rea-
son the necessity for speed in answering
every call Is instilled by constant prac-
tice into the marines at Philadelph. a.
The marines elsewhere also are ready
at ali times to be ready for call on
very short notice.
AS to provisioning a transport to carry
marines from Philadelphia, 1t is said
that 1t would require some hours more
than it would take the men themselves
to get aboard. However. unless the call

food needed for an extended trip could
be embarked in less than twelve hours.
provided. therefore, call came in the
morning for transport to get away
with load of marines at top-notch
speed, 1t is believed here that the vessel
could be on its way by nightfall or
soon thereafter.
