eran who has been frequently in action.
The American marines have been char
acterized as the peer of any fighting
force on earth.
Colonel Doyen is a graduate Of the
Naval academy. He is fifty-eight years
old, but remarkably active for q man
OF his years. He has seen service in
the Philippines and the orient, in Haiti
and Santo Domingo and in other places
wherever marines have been in action.
Secretary Daniels would give no ink
ling as to when the big regiment will
go across the Atlantic. This informa-
ton will be in absolute secrecy, just as
the departure Of General Pershing and
his staff and the force which is to fol-
low them will be closely guarded by the
military authorities.
