Of the American forces to

] Mexico were the United States

THIRST of the American forces to
take hand in the trouble in
Mexico were the United States
marines, the gallant soldiers
of the sea-" whose courage and relia-
bility In the Spanish-American war,
the Philippine instruction and other
troubles have not been forgotten.
Those of this body Of fighters, 75O In
the port Of Vera Cruz constituted the
contingent in the isthmian canal zone
Regarding them Secretary of War
Garrison remarked that they are the
finest body of soldiers he has ever
seen.
With remarkable farsightedness in
struction in the operation of railroad
locomotives and trains has been going
on among these marines in the canal
zone until a considerable number Of
the enlisted men are qualified to serve
as engineers, firemen and brakemen.
The others will be used for track re-
pairing, in which they also have been
well drilled.
Their experience at Panama was
made the occasion for their use as the
advance guard in Mexico land opera
tons.
Sketch of Major Butler.
Major Smedley Darlington Butler,
who commanded the marines that land
ed at Vera Cruz, is the son of Repre-
sentative Thomas S. Butler, senior Re-
publican member of the house commit
tee on naval affairs.
Major Butler participated in the in
ternational expedition to Picking dur
ing the summer of 1900. At the fight
ing around Tientsin he was wounded
and assisted from the field by Major
Harry Leonard, U. S. Nj. c., who has
since retired.
AS a result of his experience in the
Chinese rebellion Major Butler was adj
vanced in rank for eminent and con-
spicuous conduct in battle with the
Picking relief column" He was ap-
pointed to the marine corps from civil
life in 1899. He is thirty-four years
old.

thest point to which the marines
should be sent because the marines are
not intended for extended field service,
although in China and the Philippines
they made long marches and fought
their way along with the regular
army.
Hold First Bridge.
Secretary of War Garrison advanced
the proposal. however, that the ma
rines advance to another concrete rail
way bridge sixteen miles from the port
city and that operations beyond that
point be intrusted to the army. How
ever. the naval contention was accept
ed, and it is the understanding that
the plan decided on contemplated that
the bridge eight miles from Vera Cruz
should be held by the marines and that
any operations beyond there should be
undertaken by the regular troops
transported from Galveston to Vera
Cruz.
Elaborate plans drawn for marine
corps operations contemplated a quick
dash to or toward the City of Mexico
to rescue Americans and other foreign
ers in the event of riots and the over
throw of General Huerta, with conse-
quent disorganization of his army.
This plan was originally drawn when
it was feared that disorders in the cap
ital would bring chaos. Whether it
has been abandoned or modified is not
known. A quick dash up the railroad
to hold strategic position until the
arrival of troops is now believed to be
the keynote Of the plan, adds the New
York Times.

To Rescue Americans.
In the discussion of an aggressive
plan of operation, short of war, hav-
ing for its object either the rescue of
Americans and other foreigners In the
City of Mexico or the lesser task of
holding the town and port Of Vera
Cruz against force Of Mexicans, 1t
was agreed that the marines, after
landing at Vera Cruz, should push for

to the capital for a distance Of eight
miles to a point where concrete
bridge spans canyon. This is place
Of great strategic Importance and may
be the scene of hard fighting in the
event of an advance on the City of

It was difficult to subdue the high

to the dog than to the barrtster. Grad-

even ordinary courtesy. In the most
important part OF the case he turned
himself quite aside and began to fon-
die the animal. Curran stopped at

Legislation, when successful, is al

experience and OF the nature of pub
Iic opinion which finally springs out
of that experience. Legislation Is a
business Interpretation, not OF orfgi-

the experience of whole generation.
