MARINES MADE
GALLANT FIGHT
Casualties Almost a Fourth
of Entire Strength. Re
port Shows.

The spirit Of FIRST to fright, and
last to give up" was so strongly in
culcated in the United States Ma
rines sent to the battlefront that in
the period from April l to September
i their casualties were twenty-t three
per cent. almost a fourth OF their
entire strength, and only twenty five
men were taken prisoner. according
to the annual report of Maj. Gen.
Barnett. commandant of the Marine
Eorps. issued yesterday.
In large measure the report deals
with the administrative functions of
Ithe corps. much of the official data
1of the battle record of the organiza-
tion having been printed in the navy
report
The report shows that before the
signing of the armistice 539 officers
and 21,321 men were sent to France.
The list of casualties shows that
forty-four officers and Lis enlisted
men def in action and that seventy
six ofiaers and z,s32 men were
wounded.
One Of the most striking state
ments of the report, as indicating
the marvellous morale and fighting
spirit of the Marine Corps, is made
in answer to a question raised as to
the wisdom of reducing the recruit
training period from fourteen. w weeks
to seven weeks. The statement is
from the commander of the Sixth
Regiment OF Marines which bore a
heavy part in the fighting at Cha
teau-Thierry.

BRITAIN POLLS
SMALL VOTE
Millions of Women Fail to
Place Ballots for
Parliament.

London. Dec. 14.-Great Britain poll
ed a comparatively light vote today
on the question of whether to retain
Premier Lloyd George in power, &C!
cording to indications early tonight
There are e1,0oO,0O electors in the
country, a large portion of whom are
women. but it was believed that a
surprisingly small number availed
themselves of the opportunity to ex-
press their political affiliation. OF the
1.497 candidates for parliament, IC7
were returned without opposition.
The majority of the Coalition can
didates are Tories, though there are
some Liberals. The Independent Lib
erals, led by former Premier Asauith,
faced the difficulty of a plethora of
constituencies, due to the fact that
the Coalition managers put up rival
Liberals for candidates for the pur-
pose of splitting the vote.

SOCIALISTS CALL
M'ADoo 'M|KAD0|'
Treasury Head Referred to
as ''Son-in-Law Of -
Heaven"

Chicago, Dec. H.-Scandalous and Sc
dStious humor enliveniug the more
serious background of conspiracy to
prevent the war and defeat conscrip-
ton, featured todays proceedings in
the Socialist trial before Judge Lands,
where Victor L. Berger. of Milwaukee,
and four Chicago Socialists are de-
Tending themselves against charges of
violation of the Espionage act.
A sensation was produced by a cir
cular letter sent from national party
headquarters here to State secretaries
throughout the country. This letter
called for 100000 signatures to pc
tition for popular vote on then con-
scription act
Rev. Tucker was the chief butt of
the ceremony. His references 10 Sec

even to the face of Judge Lands.

Eli Grouse. Methodist Episcopal min

Socialists Told League Of
Nations Necessary to In
sure Future Peace.
TO JUSTIFY SACRIFICES
French Head Promises
Proof Of Deiberateness Of
German Ruthlessness.

Paris, Dec. H.-"Guarantees of a
lasting peace of justice and right
dealing. which shall justly the sac
rifices of this war. and cause men to
look back upon those sacrifices as
upon the dramatic and final pro-
cesses of their emancipation"
In these words. President Wilson
today described what America seeks
from the forthcoming peace con-
ferences. He made this declaration
in response to an address from a
Socialist delegation.
The President advocated establish
ment of the league of nations as the
preventive of future wars.
Previously, in responding to Presi-
dent Poincare's address of welcome at
the luncheon in the Palais d Elysee-
the first public utterance of an Amer
ican President on foreign soil-Wilson
frankly declared that the Peace Con-
gress must mot only rebuke" Ger
man terrorism and spoliation, but
must make men everywhere aware
that such acts cannot be yentured
upon without the certainty Of just
punishment"
Poincare Promises Proof.
Poincare told Wilson that he would
communicate to him 1.-The authentic
documents in which the German gen
eral staff developed its program OF
pillage and industrial annihilation,"
and expressed the conviction that 1.-The
American executives conscience will
pronounce a verdict on these facts" }"
The French president, with typical
amenity, praised Americas part in
the war.
In his speech to the socialist greet
ing. President Wilson said:
Gentlemen: receive with great
interest the address which you have
just read to me. The war through
which we have just passed has illus
trated in a way which never can be
forgotten the extraordinary wrongs
which can be perpetrated by arbi-
trary and irresponsible, power.
1T is not possible to secure the hap
pfness and prosperity of the world
to establish enduring peace unless the
repetition of such wrongs is rendered
impossible. This has indeed been a
peoples war. 1t has been waged
against absolutism and militarism and
these enemies OF liberty from this time
forth must be put out from the posi-
biltty of working their cruel will upon
mankind. In my Judgment it is not
sufficient to establish the principle.
1t is necessary that it should be
supported by a corporation of the
nations which shall be based upor
fixed and definite covenants and which
shall be made certain of effective ac.
tion through the instrumentality of a
league of nations.
Il believe this to be the conviction
of all thoughtful and liberal men,. ]
am confident that this is the thought
of those who leaa-your own great ma
ton. and 1 am looking forward with
peculiar pleasure to cooperating with
them in securing guarantees of a
lasting peace Of justice and right
dealing. which shall justify the sacri.
fees of this war and cause men to
look back upon those sacrifices as
upon the dramatic and final processes
of their emancipation"

sentence recommended by a general
