FRIENDS OF MARINES
THRILLED BY NEWS
Washington, June

News of the part the marines are
taking in the thick Of the fighting in
France and their splendid success are
pointed out by their friends as justifica-
tion for putting them into the front
line.
There are no better fighting men in
the world than the marines" said Sec
retary Daniels.
No recent announcement has been
made as to the strength of the marine
forces abroad. but dispatches indicate
they are holding a section alone that
would require more than brigade
strength and that their divisional or
ganization is approximately completed.
The marine corps friends in Con-
gress who largely were responsible for
their being taken off police duty and
put at the front were overjoyed at the
news For a long time 1t looked as IL
the marines would see no active fighting

ald
 One of the unconventional ideas of the moujik, to the western mind, is his idea of property in land. But whap once understood, it is not so bad Tn his mind there can be no such thing as ownership in virgin land. He holds that land. being an article of universal need, made by nobody. ought not tc become property in the usual sense ol the word. It should remain in the un. disturbed possession of those by whom for the time being. it is cultivated Work alone gives rightful claim tc It's possession. Even kinship affords no right to the property. Labor is al. ways supreme. If there are several children. and one has worked at home longer than the others. he receives the lions share. If the father should at. tempt to will 1t otherwise, the village commune would not hesitate to breal, the will if the aggrieved one should bring it to them for adjudication. The right to inheritalce, as we'll as the right to enjoyment of land, in the Russian peasant mind is founded on the doctrine of work alone.
