More Marines Needed

The scarcity of Marines in the
United States is making itself felt
just now when demands are being
made on the Marine Corps for more
men to guard the navy yards and
naval stations.
About sixty per cent of the y. s.
Marines are in service aboard ship
on foreign stations, and less than
5000 are available for navy yard
duty in the United States.
Because Of the attractiveness of
it's service the Marine Corps has
little difficulty in procuring recruits,
and its ranks are kept filled to over.
flowing nearly all the time, hut the
authorized strength of the Corps is
only $40 officers and 1891 men.
Congress has been asked to increase
this strength by 5000 men and of,
