SOLDIERS OF SEA
ALWAYS READY
Uncle Sam Has Not Bothered His
Head About Preparedness
of Marine Corps.
OLDEST BRANCH OF SERVICE
Has the Distinction of Having Won
the First Battle Ever Fought by
U. S. Navy in Revolutionary
Days.

Much has been said and written
since the beginning of the interna-
tional crisis as to the preparedness or
unpreparedness of the army and navy
of the United States, but what about
the United States marine corps, the
oldest and one of the most important
branches of Uncle Sans military es-
tablishment?
Beyond taking steps to increase the
force, Washington has bothered its
! head very little about the marine
corps. The reason is simple. There
has never been any question as to the
preparedness and efficiency of this
branch of the service. The marines
are always ready for whatever duty
they may be called upon to perform.
They are usually the first sent to an
swer the call of war.
"Semper Fidelis."
That motto translated into English
means ever faithful. Ii is the motto
of the United States marine corps, and
no body of men ever lived up to tradi-
tions handed down for years with
greater fidelity than the officers and
men comprising this force.
Perform Many Duties.
On shipboard the marines have n
great many duties to perform. They
form part of the regular crew in
handling the guns, manning the sec
ondary batteries mostly. They learn
a multiplicity of things that would be
advantageous afloat and ashore. They
can plant mines, as well as build
br;I fa, irly landing and
operations ashore they have no su-
periors.
On November TO- 1775, before sin
gle vessel of the navy was sent to sea,
the marine corps was organized by
resolution of the Continental congress.
On December 13, 1776, congress di-
rected that 13 ships of war be built
On the 22d day of the same month
congress passed a resolution declar-
ing Esek Hopkins commander in chief
and appointed officers for all the ves-
sells then in service. This was the
first step taken toward the creation
of the naval establishment which has
won imperishable fame for the United
States, and upon which is based the
claim of the marine corps to be "the
Oldest in the service"
Win First Battle for Navy.
In the early part of 1777 battalion
of 300 marines and landsmen, under
the command of Maj. Samuel Nichols,
landed from the fleet under command
of Commodore Hopkins at the Island
of New Providence, in the Bahamas,
assaulted and captured the English
forts protecting the island, taking
large quantity of cannon and military
stores This, the first battle of the
American navy, was fought and won
by the marines.
Throughout the Revolution the ma
ripes were at work proving their pa
triotism and devotion to the cause. In
the troubles with Tripoli they played
a conspicuous part. Again, in the war
of 1872 the marines distinguished
themselves by the gallantry of their
conduct and their work in battle. In
the years that followed they saw ac-
tive service in the Florida war, in
Sumatra and in the West Indies.
From 1916 to 1S4S the corps was en-
gagged in the war with Mexico, where
it figured in every quarter, and made
a most excellent record.

Grantland Rice. in New York Tribune. The old Tricolor swings to the right; To the left flies the Union Jack; And a new flag comes to the smashing
 fight.
 To drive the next attack; flag that has guarded stainless
 shield, A banner of stripes and stars; And now-when the bugle has once
 more pealed- Now when the three start down the God pity the trench that bars. The old Tricolor has gained new
 heights,
 And so has the Union Jack; And the flag that comes where the
 shrapnel bites
 Will never be driven back: The flag that has never vet been furled Or stopped by the driving Fates. And now--when the cannon smoke lies
 curled. Now when the three start down the
 world
 God pity the Hun who waits. The old Tricolor is dripping red, And so is the Union Jack; But new flag comes to the world To start for the next attack: A flag that was never known to stop At the end of a testing fray; And now, whenever the shells may
 drop. Now when the three go over the top God pity the trench at bay.

Cigarettes the
 Soldiers Luxury

1E VERY large hearted American AA feels like doing something to add to the comfort of the soldiers while the war is in progress.
 There are many little attentions from the friends "back home" which the men with the colors would ap- preciate-books, magazines and com ics. But of all the luxuries in which the soldiers could indulge is the cigarette. Cigarette smoking used to be considered pernicious habit. Some members of the medical pro- fession condemned the use of tobacco in the cigarette form and over jealous reformers there were who thought the cigarette was fatal and sought to abolish it. Little coffin
 nails cigarettes were called. A fanatical legislature of Alabama in its closing session in 1905 passed through the lower house bill pro-
 hibiting the sale of cigarettes in this
 state. In the senate the measure was defeated by narrow margin.
