GOMEZ, HEAD OF CUBAN
REVOLT, CAPTURED
Government Troops Take Gen.
eraI and Entire Staff.

Havana. March Announcement
was made at the presidents palace
that a message had been received
there saying that Jose Miguel Gomez,
former president of Cuba, had been
captured with his entire staff by Col
onel Collazo, commander OF the gov
ernment troops.
The news of the capture of General
Gomez came in dispatch from the
secretary of the interior, Colonel Au-
relic Hevia, who is commanding the
campaign in the province of Santa
Clara.
The announcement was received
with cheering and the waving of hat2
by President Menocal and the army
officers gathered at the palace. All
officers, soldiers and prominent civil
ians who later came to the palace
also cheered the news.
The senate passed the bill which
previously had passed the house au.
tnorizing the president to suspend
constitutional guarantees. The bill
now only needs the presidents sigma
ture to become a law.
President Menocal recently was
quoted as attributing the Cuban re-
volt to the "unbrid!ed ambition" Of
General Gomez to overthrow him, but
this was denied by General Gomez's
friends. A few days ago It was stated
that Cuban Judge had found true
bill against General Gomez on a
charge Of conspiracy and revolution
and had fixed bail at 100000.

Mr.. MCCORMICK REPLIES
TO THREAT OF PACIFlST

In answer to threatening letter re-
ceived by Representative Mccormick of
Illinois because of his vote for the
war resolution he has sent a reply in
which he states:
I'VE do not want taxes or disease OF
death. So it is with this war; it is
forced upon us and we must fight not
for the profits of munition makers;
not to maintain the high wages of their
employees; not to keep open a market
for our agriculture. not to maintain
the growing profits of our farmers;
but to conserve certain rights which
our forefathers won for US as certainly
as they won our independence or the
freedom of the slaves. Those rights are
none the less actual because they are
spiritual rather than material Gives
Romanus sum- am a Roman CITIZEN
That was once q safe conduct through

our posterity, safely to follow our
lawful vocations wherever they may
be-upon the high seas or the busy
streets of Chica go. If we assent to the
Invasion of those rights abroad. il viii

If you are willing to perform military
service you can enlist in the United
States Marine Corps. in the Navy or in
the Army.
At least, In the early days of the war,
1t will be the marines and the blue
Jackets who will be called upon to show
the enemy that the citizens of the
United States are thrilled with patri-
otic fervor and that they will suffer no
further affrOnt. The valor with which
these young men perform acts of pa
triotism and heroism is expected to
make il unnecessary for the army to
give further military service than that
which they have already been called
upon TO perform as guard duty. How
ever. all three branches of the serv-
ice are being prepared to meet any
emergency, and Uncle Sam is calling
all red-blooded men impelled by love
of the flag and devotion TO their coun-
try.
Enlistment in Marine Corps.
AS the Marine Corps is the first to
fight" this branch of the service is
being recruited as fast possible.
The Marine Corps was nearly 1000
3
when the war cloud broke and the
President has recommended an increase
of 1000 more. The usual rate of en-
listment is from twenty to forty men a
day, and the highest number for any
day was 10l up until this week. AS
indication of the patriotism that is
surging in the breasts of the young
men OF the country and showing their
zeal to get into action the enlistment
record was broken to sInithereens last
Tuesday. when 200 men enlisted.
As the requirements for the Marine
Corps are the strIctest OF any branch of
the service, inasmuch as this is a two
in-one" branch, being soldiers both on
land and sea. seeing service III times of
peace as well war, since they are
known as the international police" the
very fact OF being accepted for the Ma
rine Corps is in itself a distinction
Requirements Not "Eased Up"
In spite of the nations need for men
the requirements OF the Marine Corps are
not eased up at this time. The highest
standard is required and the service does
not want men unless they have sand and
can stand the gaff. Ordinarily, about so
per cent of the applicants are rejected, so
that service in the Marine Corps is a real
proposition to red blooded men looking
for adventure and an opportunity to
serve their country.
Secretary Daniels said recently In A
call for young men for the Marine Corps:

gress take action. ordering a heavy draft
for the army to meet the eventualities
of war, hundreds of thousands Of men
will be needed.
Every able bodied young man who has
no one dependent upon him for support is
being encouraged to enlist. The army
can take any young man over eighteen
eighteen with the parents consent pro-
vided that other qualifications for that
age are met. The minimum height is
five feet two inches and the minimum
weight 110 mounds.
