That sums up the attitude OF the
typical marine toward the risk of
death. Among the officers there is
a deeper realization of the danger
than in the ranks of the enlisted
men. American officers will not

They believe the military machine
OF the central powers must be
smashed before peace can come. All
but the younger officers. who never
have seen actual warfare, hope that
the collapse OF Germany's military
power will come soon. They have
no Illusions about war. They know
its horrors. and. although they hope

A MARINE CORPS CANTON
MENT, Nov. 21.-Although il is
asserted by their officers that the
men of the marine corps know ex-
actly why the United states is in

marKably little war talk among tht
men in training here.
Germany's peace balloons have
had absolutely no effect The ma
rines neither hope for nor expect an
early peace. once in a while some
enlisted man will express the hope
that peace will be held long enough
to permit him to get into the fight.

the word peace is ever spoken.

We advocate republic OF councils of work
men, soldiers, peasants etc All the power
must belong TO them.
Army officers should be elected by the sol
diers. and every step taken by the officers and
generals should be authorized by special sol
diers' deputies.
The soldiers should have power to Gust their
superiors. and should obey only those whom
they themselves elect
THE peasants should Immediately be given
possession Of private lands"
