day. of apoplezy, aged about 81
years. He came to work in the

as a newspaper man Of the old

Republican politician was admit

in the State was better known
than he. He was a Western edi-

this statement will tend to make

The United States government wants
men for its Marine corps. 1t hopes that
1t will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks of the selectlve 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 If
noncommissiOned officers to warrant
rank I'm the grades Of marine gunners
and quartermaster's clerk. Such off,
GERS receive from SLIPS to $500 a
year. and are entitled TO the same
privileges of retirement as warrant
officers In the navy.
There Is a chance for marines to
make money In addition to their pay.
Mess stewards, mess ~sergeants, mess
men, clerks, and men assigned to avia-
ton duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to SIS per month in addi-
ton to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who
qualify as expert riflemen, as marks
and as sharpshooters.
The Marine corps Is the Oldest army
of the United States. having
been organized before the army and
the navy. Every mar who enters Ii is
given his food. his clothing, his lodg-
ing, and his medical attendance.

A Two-FIsted Fighter.

The marine is a soldier and a sailor,
and yet he Is neither. He is a sort Of
a two-lsted fighting rover. He goes
everywhere by land or by sea to the
last outpost of civilization and beyond
II Ii Is necessary for the service Of
protection Of the American flag and Of
the unfolding of the rights of American
people.
The Marine corps Is curious In a way
In its formation. 1t has more men In
ITS ranks than an army division, and
yet in a way It's organization is that
Of a regiment, although Ii has q ma
Jor general c~ommandant 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 II is, with
its 10000 lei In war time, keeps a pc
culiar organization, because its fight
ers necessarily are divided into COM
paratively small detachments.
Under the command Of Colonel Doy-
en- of the Marine corps 1000 soldiers
Of the sea o o will be In the trenches
in France. These men, 1t has been
announced, were added to the prelIm-
mary force which Ii Is intended to

ment recognized the right of marines

FIRST SESSION OF RUSS DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS IS HELD Kerensky Makes Address and Is Cheered and HoOted by Respective Groups
 in the Body

Petrograd. September 27.-(Thursday0 Premier Kerensky addressed the demo- cratic Congress at it's first session to- day in the municipal theatre, receiving applause which came principally from the less radical groups of delegates He spoke in forceful style, with the air of challenging his opponents. The address was largely defense of the acts of the government under his premiership.
 M. Kerensky was interrupted fre- quently by shouts from one group or another, which led at times to alterca- tions, lasting several minutes. At one point when the premier spoke of the re- fusal of the soldiers and workmens dele gates of Melsingfors to oppose the re- opening of the Finnish Diet, although the government had forbidden it, the Bolsheviki burst into loud cheers.
 "Cheer, my friends, if you will" said M. Kerensky when he was able to make himself heard. But bear in mind that German fleet is moving up the Baltic
 The delegates of the rights jeered the Bolsheviki, asking with bangs why they did not cheer the premier's remark in- asmuch as the Germans were their friends
