effect that the Germans had applied the torch to Lens

British lines This is exactly what has been done to every
city by the Germans before evacuatng it, and this gves
color to the belief that the abandonment of the great coal
city may be the next move. Reports from General Haig
also indicate the city pretty well surrounded and it is
perhaps fear of being trapped that causes the Germans

MARINES HOPE TO

Members With Expedidonary Force in
France Oppose Order to Place

American training camp in France.
Aug. 10-lBy Associated Press. ~
The marines Of the expeditionary
force viii make tight to retain their
forest green uniforms against ten
tatiye order which would place them
in regular army khaki. The marines
think they can arrange necessary
supply Of distinctive clothing but
army officers feel IL would perhaps
be better 30 have the entire expedi-
ton uniformed alike.
The marines hold that to abandon
their distinctive dress would tend 10
lower the morale of the men which
in turn would rob the expedition OF

existing between services The ma
Tines cite the case of the Alpine chas-
seurs in France who won their fight
early in the war 20 retain their dis
tiuctive uniforms Of dark blue against
an order that all French troops
should wear horizon blue.
The marines today subscribed TO q
fund Of $50. 900 20 buy French war
bonds, the fact evokine great cheers
from their French trainers.
The hard training work for the
trenches, with its long hours Of out
door life, is proving a yerirable tonic
TO the members Of the American eX-
pediuonary force. The percentage OF
illness for the entire force is but 2Az
per cent as against an average Of 5
pei. cent in army posts in the United
States. Nearly all the sickness is
made up Of light cases Of humps,
measles and colds. all Of which are
Welding to medical treatment There
is every likelihood that the American
medical STAFF will he considerably
