 YP EW. YORK. June. 27.-So N quietly did a regiment of marines included in that
 part of the Pershing expedi- tion which already has landed in France slip away from the League Island Nay Yard that sailor base ball team at practice on the pa- rade ground did not know that 2.700 men under command of Col, Charles A. Doyen were on their way to the battle front. No drums or bugles sounded and the only ceremony which attended the leavetaking was brief speech to the officers by Major General George Barhett, commandant of the corps. The story of their quiet march from the barracks was released here today.
 Marines Urged To Uphold
 Traditions Of Their Corps.
 At 2:30 o'clock on the afternoon of their departure the baseball plapers had the parade ground all ot themselves and no one was in sight on the street in front of the home of the post commander.
 Major General Barnett and a little group of officers assembled on the parkway beside the surb.
 The company officers of the bat talion stepped out in front of Ma jor General Barnett and saluted. For half a minute the corps com mandant addressed them. He spoke in an every day conversa- tional which could not be heard a dozen yards away. and the mes sage was simply that he trusted that the marines who were setting out that day to ibe under General Pershing, would staunchly uphold the high traditions of the corps. Squads March Swiftly
 Away to Trsnsport.
 The officers saluted and march ed back to their places. The bat talion stood at rigid attention for a moment Then with a snap, rifles jumped to shoulders. squads swung into column formation and the line passed swiftly down the street to the gate of the navy yard.
 No cheering crowd greeted the men as they emerged at the gate way; only a handful of civilians saw them board a train of day coaches for an Atlantic port. The sun-browned fighting men. all vet erans of campaigns in Haiti and

President Wilson says that profit
eering in foods has not been entirely
eliminated in this country He finds
the law OF supply and demand has
been supplanted by the law Of unre-
stricted selfishness. He says that con-
gress must go further in authorizing

feel that there was to be no recognt-

mate margining in certain articles OF

ing of the subject by the chief Of the
nation and will hopefully trust that
his recommendations will bear fruli

The Argus has been insistent from

What Bolsheviki Means.

We read so much Of Bolsnevild ap-
plying to the Russian reTolutionists,
yet according to Emanuel Beckerman.
interpreter Of Bronx municipal court,
there is no such word in the Rus
sian language. Mr.. Beckerman in a
communication printed in the New
York World says:
ut is probably a corruption Of Boil
shak, plural Bolshald, which means
the eldest son or oldest in a family.
A village constable is also called Boil
shak, and so is the leader of certain
religious gatherings.
"Bolshe means more. Bolshoy
means great or big; either is the or
igin of Bolshak. The Russian alpha
bet consists OF SO letters; its colloquy
is Of no easy comprehension to the
Anglo-Saxon ear. There Is a maxim
in that language, 'Shtchey gorshok,
do sam bolshoy,' which translates "The
soup is sour but himself great but
the real meaning and correct inter-
probation is as follows: Although
chilled and hungry but are living in
liberty Thus the word Bolshak
seems to signify freedom; Bolshaki
actors OF freedom or free actors.
This is the only account that can
be given for the coinage of the word
Bolsheviki, but in reality they should
be, and in Russia probably are, called
Bolshak, plural Bolshah."
Americans have to take q good many
of the names that appear in dispatches
from Russia entirely on faith, with

nounce them. However, Mr.. Becker

WEAR 'em longer and more OF
'em" is the advice Of the Women's Fed
Grated Clubs of Illinois. The girl who
has everything will refuse to be con-
verted, even at the peril Of seeing the
last lump of coal disappear from the
bin, while her less physically fortu-
nate sister will applaud the recon-
mendation as one Of the best that has
been brought forward since the nation
was plunged in war. The argument
is that IL the women would wear more
clothes than they are In the habit OF
affecting in cold weather there would
not be need for so much fuel to keep
the house warm. In other words,
they would not be half frozen on re-
turning home after a spell In the open.
But you'll find that every woman will
continue to wear just as much as she
thinks she should to give her the best
advantage when on parade. Il is only
fair that she should. Anyway, the
chances are that those responsible for
the new slogan OF the federation have
long since passed the age when they
throw their chests out after the fash
ion of a pugilist, fully exposed to the
wintry blasts, and it is barely posi-
Bile that they are slightly envious OF
the charm and freshness Of the young
er ones that dash along nowadays
wholly obl~ious to the status Of the
/ temperature.
