A PLEA FOR THE MARINE CORPS.
Mare Island. Cal,
T,ra IN 1917

June 10. 1917.
The Idaho Southern Democrat
Shoshone, Idaho.
Dear Editor:
I am induced to write piece to
publish in the Democrat. To persuade
Marine Corps. Idaho is not furnishing
her share of boys to the Marine Corps.
Major General George Barnette, COM
manding officer of the United States
Marine Corps. has called for 1000 en-
listments in the week from June 10 to
June 1e, 1917.
The United States Marine Corps is
the oldest branch OF armed forces of
the United States. 1t has a long and
honorable record of military achieve
ments in every quarter of the globe.
The history of the Mariner is one Of
splendid patriotism, heroism, gallantry
and military efficiency.
The Mariners have upheld the honor
of the flag. in peace and on every con-
tinent and the Islands Of the seas.
From Alaska to Patagonia, from Tri-
poll to PeIin: from Porto Rico to Fiji.
The Marines have earned the name of
the" finest fighting corps in the world"
The marines marched eco miles
across an African desert and stormed
the Tripolitan fort of Derne.
The marines led the attack on Cha
pultepelz and helped take Monterey,
San Francisco and AIazattan in the
Mexican war. The marines took Guam
tanamo in the Spanish war. The Uni
ted States marines were the first over
the walls of Peking during the Boxer
troubles.
The marines paci ed Nicaragua,
Panama. santo Domingo and Haiti.
The United states marines have
fought African natives. Moorish pir-
ates, Formosan bandits. Malay head
hunters and Fiji cannibals. and as
Camel cavalry they rode to the capital
Of Abyssinia.
They are the advance guard OF the
nations first line of defense.
1t is mark Of honor to be a United
States Marine.
Idaho is doing her share for the
army and navy Now let her do her
share for the Marine.
Idaho has got the kind of men that
is taken to build up an army, that is
what kind Of men the Marines need in
the Marine corps. If there is trouble
tell it to the Marines.
Now let's see what the boys around
shoshone are going to do for their
country.
I remain,
Yours sincerely,

sands of the flower of the German
army found only burial place
without any laurels Of victory.
All attempts TO recapture the po-
sitions lost proved vain, every Ger
man effort being thrown back in dis
order. The remarkable thing about
the whole French offensive is the
smallness Of their losses, while those
of the enemy have been terrible, as
can be seen wherever one goes on

vision at least three regiments exist
no more, and those remaining alive
are prisoners.

how a French shell fell into a depot

bois. the fumes of which killed the
compliments of three entire Ger

which had just been sending hun

German Losses at Verdun are
Frightful; Men Die at Posts

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF
THE FRENCH ARMY, Wednesday,
Aug. %. - CNighD. - The battle
around Verdun developed today into
purely "a big gun duel, in which the
French continued to maintain un-
doubted mastery. Many more pris-
oners were rounded up. They unani-
mously say that the French artillery
barrage was terrible in its effects.
one said: Not even a hare could
have gotten through it
The testimony Of prisoners shows
that the Germans intended TO hold
the left bank of the Meuse at all
costs. The regiments stationed there
were ordered TO die at their posts,
if necessary Many OF them did so.
while what remained IN the line were
captured. More than two-thirds OF
the prisoners were taken there.

Thousands Of these wooden gar.

out the country. The women of each
state usually supply articles for tho
battleship or cruiser bearing the name
Of their state. and in other cases for
the men Of the ship named after theiI
city. or for destroyers whose name
has some historical or sentimental
connection with the place.
Many naval officers have written &C
the Navy League expressing their ap-
probation for this work undertaken
for the men OF the Navy. In war
time, when men write from the feet
their names and the names OF the
ships are not made public For that
reason the names Of the officers who
wrote an endorsement OF the Leagues
work are necessarily withheld. one
OF them wrote:

North Atlantic in winter. both officers

and in por. during this season, would

such as picket duty. mine laying. sub
marine service. patrol boat service,
etc.
In time OF war, the value OF these
articles is greatly accumulated. Peace
maneuvers In winter are held IN warm
Southern waters. but in time OF war
there is no choice OF time or place.
while work in small boats above de-
scribed is greatly increased. and Is
frequently performed under condi-
tons Of considerable hardship.

Tuesday evening the fire alarm sounded during the heavy thunder storm about 10.30 2. m for a fire at Fort Rachel, in the garage of Nelson J. Baker, at the home of Mrs. Car roll Packer. The town was in dark ress owing to the fact that the storm had affected the power and when the fremen arrived at the engine house and truck house 1t was hard work to find any thing so that both companies were delayed in getting to th= fire and the flames had considerable headway- Two streams were applied and the fire was put out.
