AUGUSTUS PUTS
in LONG WAIT
FOR ABANKER.
Sticks TO His Post However
Real Bodyguard Out
This Morning.

Augustus Won H~ohenzollern, I'M
perial Goat from Berlin, had to wait
several hours today for A. I. Hunter,
president of the First National Bank,
but being q persistent goat, like his
il!ustrious emperor. he stuck to the
job till he got results.
When Augustus hied himself forth
this morning, he had a large body
guard, a member of which was Judge
Phil Mclaughlin proudly displaying a
diEntfied and shiny hat Of the stove-
pipe vintage. There also was a musi-
cal corps along. The corps was made
up of such eminent virtuosos as Geo.
Sherwood, Carl Provins and Chester
Warner, and they rrade their pres
ence known with g., ;s real music.
Bill, Nye carried the huge milk
pail and at every stopping place man.
aged to get some. goats milk
Augustus has been doing : {
things in Grand Forks. If he keeps
up his first two days record. the
gustus admits it himself. and when a
Goat admits anything, that finishes it.
Groom Dunlop suspects that several
German spies are at work in an at
tempt to spirit Augustus away during
the silent watches OF the night. Last
night three masked men were seer
in the vicinity Jof the Goats stall, but
when challenged by Il sentry they
beat it." A close watch is being
maintained each flight and all persons
caught trying to kidnap Augustus will
be cOurtmartiaicd.

MARINES MAINTAIN
 ENVIABLE RECORD

Washington, Dec 16.-The first complete list of Marine corps units serving with the American army in France was made public yesterday by Major General Barnett, commandant of the Marine corps, in his annual re- port to the secretary of the navy.
 With the list or organization num- bers, General Barnett gives some of the congratuIatOry messages from French and American officers praising the great work of the Marines, and commenting warmly upon the mag nificent courage and morale of the men among whom the casualty rate was tremendous.
 Following are the Marine units ia France: The 9th, 9th, and 18th regi- ments, the 1st Machine Gun battalion, the 1st, 2d and Sd replacement battai- lions, the Sd, 4th, 5th and 9th separ- ate battalions, 1st and 2d casual re- placement battalions, 1st separate machine gun battalion and part Qf the 11th regiment. The total up to the date of the report was $40 oDl- cers and 21,32 men.
 4 Between April 1 and September i, 1918, the marine casualties totalled 23 per cent. of their gross strength. Forty-four officers and 1,116 enlisted men were killed in action and 76 of ficers and 2,832 men were wounded.
 "Only 25 men are known to be i'll the hands of the enemy" General Barnett said. "It is considered that this constitutes a most remarkable testimonial to the magnificent morale and individual courage of the men,
 Attention also is called to the re- markable records made bT fresh troops who were thrown into action against veteran enemy forces after only seven weeks of training. Their steadi1ess under fire, the report said, F'is eloquent of the fine material from which the corps is drawing it's men,"
 The marine corps also organized a regiment of heavy artillery to man Finch naval guns provided with cat erpillar tractors and mounts, and built up it's own aviation service, so student fliers being graduated each month. in the closing days of the war, from the school at Boston.
 Despite the great expansion of the corps and the reduced training pe- riod the marines maintained their record for marksmanship, 67 per cent. of the entire organization quail lying as marksmen, sharpshooters and expert riflemen.
 General Barnett recommended that the permanent peace strength of the corps be raised to 31, 500.
 New construction recommended by the commandant includes storage fa-
