actual movement of troops in the
United States and Mexico. A censor
ship staff has assumed duty and will
exercise its authority with an iron
hand. The business of deleting news

Knowing that censorship always pre-

convinced that the end has come for
"watchful waiting and that the dogs
Of war are unloosed.
For weeks General Funston has been
trying to veil the movements Of troops
in Mexico, hoping thus to render them
needed assistance, but he was without
adequate authority to discipline civil
lians. He and all other commanders
will now possess ample authority to
eliminate all danger from this source.
The government, through the mill
tary commanders, has warned the
newspapers that the United States is

other nationalities. The situation is

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-President
Wilson is depenulng confidently upon
the prowess of the United States
Marine Corps in the Forthcoming in
tervention. A high officer OF the ad-

Zens know Of the wonderful efficiency
OF the Marine Corps. Every foreign
government knows of our marines;
fears them, too. They will play a
great part in the forthcoming recon-
struction- OF Mexico"
When A. H Wetherill was returning
to Philadelphia recently from big
game hunt in Africa, he met on ship
board colonel Of the British army.
This officer, who was a real student of

merits of various armies, when he
made this startling assertion: "The
best equipped, best organized, and
most efficient body of fighting men In
the world Is the United States Marine
Corps; the second best is the North.

the Pennsylvania State Constabulary."
Osward Garrison Willard, editor of
the New York Evening Post, said re-
Gently: LET Congress look at the
Marines. 1t Is a service to be proud
OF. Why? Is 1t solely due to its con-
nection with the navy, or its constant
ly seeing foreign service and going to
sea? No; Its admirable efficiency, the
smartness, the natness and excellent
set-up OF the men and the esprit du
corps cannot be SO easily explained
Someone ought to tell us why, some
one like committee of Congress"
Admiral George Dewey says: "The
work recently accomplished by the
Marine Corps at Vera Cruz and in
Hayti, fully justifies my belief that 1t
Is the finest military organization the
world has ever SEEN"

low said recently, testifying before the
House Committee on Naval Affairs:
There is no military body with n
higher efficiency than our Marine
Corps. Their esprit du corps is very
high; they are true fighting men and
take great pride in their profession;
they never let things slack off the
least BIT"
Representative Britten of the House
Naval Committee added: "When I
was in Pekin, China, last year, officers
from the various legation guards from
all over the world voluntarily admitted
that our Marine Corps boys were the
most efficient fighters In China, or
