FROM ALIENS IN VIRGINIA
Precautionary Steps, but Action
Seems Unnecessary.
LOCAL CoNsULs WE'LL KNOWN
Prominent Business Men Of City and
State Offer Services to Country,
but No Provision Yet Made TO
Accept Any Volunteers.

Governor Stuart received instructions
yesterday morning from the Depart
ment of State TO take precautionary
measures Ia protect ConSulatcS of the
central powers in Virginia. but will
take no action unless thcr" is some
Indication that violence is actually
threatened OF formal request is made.
Both Germany ana Austria Hungary
maintain ConSul.tcS in this city. but
Turkey has 10 official representative
In the state.
The telegram received by tn" Coy
crnor was similar to ono N"ut to all
States in which Germany has official
representatives The Governor, how
ever. is OF the opinion that there Is
no need, certainly under present con-
ditions, Of guarding the offices Of tho
foreign representatives, hut is pre-
pared TO that protection * given
IL necessary.
The German and Austrian represent
tatives both acr located III this city,
where they are engaged in business.

Mr. Victor has been engaged in busi-
ness here for many years, and has
many warm friends. Just what he will
do in view of the severance of diplo-
matte relations with his government,
he has not decided. hut for tho present
he will adopt Il policy Of watchfui
waiting.
Mr.. Victor and Mr. Borchcrs are
both foreiEn-h born, and are not nat;

Mr.. Victor has ono son, Fritz Victor,

MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT

II 1t Is necessary for the service of
protection of the American flag and of
the upholdlng Of the rights of American
people.
The Marine corps is curious In a way
In Its formation. 1t has more men In
It's ranks than IN army division, and
yet In n way Its organization Is that
Of n regiment, although 1t has a ma.
1or general commandant and several
~brigadier generals. Then, like the
army, 1t has its colonies, its lieutenant
colonies, Its majors. and Its captains.
The Marine corps, big as it Is, with
Its 10000 men In war time, keeps a pc
cullar organization. because its fight.
ers necessarily are divided into COM

ment recognized the right of marines

Men Needed for Marines.
The United States government wants
men for Its Marine corps. II hopes that
1t will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks Of the selective service
army the men needed to complete the
complement Of the soldier-sailor organ
izatiOn. 1t wants volunteers. The at
fractions Of service in the marines are
many. There are chances, and good
ones, for the enlisted men to be rec
commended for a student course at An
napolis, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
ceive a commission either In the Ma.
rine corps or In the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion of
nOncommissioned officers to warrant

Bv EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Observation-Disclosures In the Fight" is
the wartime slogan Of the United
States marines. while "Semper FL
dells," always Faithful" is their
motto In peace and war.
So 1t would seem that If good works,
coupled with faith, secure a mans sal
walton, there must be some reason as
well as rhyme in the last four lines of
the Marine corps hymn:
II the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heavens scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an
increase In the number of his marines
to n war strength of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1900 more
men than there are in a division Of
troops Of the United States army.
There Is room in the marines, there
fore, for any stalwart young Ameri-
can between the ages Of eighteen and
thlrty-flve who wishes to be a soldier
and a sailor In one, to be first in the
fight, and to be able to prove that he
is always faithful to the ideals Of hui
mainly and the ideals Of his country.
In the present war the American be-
lief Is that the two are n
When congress recently increased
the pay Of the army 1t also increased
the pay of the navy and OF the Ma
rine corps. The recruit today who en-
ters the Marine corps will receive $50
a month pay, an Increase of SIS over
the pay In the more OF less piping
times of peace. More than this, II he
goes to sea, which unQuestionably will
be his lot, he will receive. 20 per cent
additional, and 1t is generally account
ed that in this war time the 20 per-
cent Increase will be continued while
the marine is on land In a foreign
country holding up his end for the
United States.
What Is the mariner This is one Of
the questions In a little cntechism is
sued by the officials Of the corps. The
answer is that the marine is a soldier
Of the sea.
The marine is q soldier and a sailor,
and yet he is neither. He is a sort Of
a two-isted fighting rover. He goes
everywhere by lard or by sea to the
last outpost Of civilization and beyond

Rate Of Pay In Navy.

and the pay tables under the new dis

but 1t is a simple thing to determine
Inc rate of pay Of each seaman of
Whatever class by adding to the pay

Increased pay allotment has just gone
INTO effect. Below Is given the navy
wage table. with the pay as 1t stood
prior to the recent act of congress. In
order to know what each mans pay
now Is. 1t is only necessary to know
That every man now drawing less than
$11 a month will receive an increase of
$lo a month; that every man drawing
at present from 500 to $24 a month, in.
elusive, will receive $12 a month addi-

man drawing at present $45 or more
a month will receive Sc a month add.

1t should be borne In mind that the
apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy
recruit, who ordinarily gets $17.6O a
month, will be receiving at the time
