MARINES TAKE
CASUALTIESIN
FIGHTING FORM

Announcement yesterday by Gen.
Peyton c. March, Chief of Staff that
there are 1000 Marines in France EN-.
phasizes again the fighting qualities of
the members OF this famous branch
Of the service.
The "leathernecks." or the devil
dogs" as the Germans have lately
termed them, have been in action
many times since they arrived at the
front line trenches and have rendered
splendid accounts Of themselves. The
only effect OF their baptism of fire has
been to give the outfit a new esprit de
corps, which rivals anything in its
history.
Not Easy to Catch.
They have a casualty list that to-
day totals 1898, which means that
one out of every twelve Marines
has given blood for'the cause, and
that practiC,. all have been up
against the / thing" But the
outstanding feature of the casualty
figures Is the fact that a real hon
est-to-goodness Marine Is as scarce
in Germany today as a healthy meal
of corned beef and cabbage, and
this. in spite of the fact that the
enemy has concentrated some Of his
best troops time and again before
lines held by the Marines for the
sole purpose Of taking prisoners.
Under the heading of Missing. in
cluding prisoners" there are two
lone 'leathernecks" listed. and their
brethern at home. and no doubt,
abroad, are at a loss to account for
the fact that they were captured.
They point to the figure of two"
however, with pride, for it shows
what a match the average soldier
of the sea is for his Hun adver-
sary.
Healthy But Not Reckless.
Another feature of the first over
seas outfit is its health. Only sixteen
have died Of disease. The army ex-
peditionary forces list 1,266 as dead
Of disease out of a total Of 100000.
Still another feather In the caps of
the '1eathernecks" IL the fact that,
though bold and daring in action, they
are not reckless. The figures testify
that only six have been killed in
accidents.
There's one more thing to say in
their favor and 1t Is arrived at in
this manner: The army casualty lists
include wounded as severely" or de
gree undetermined" bust such is rot
the case with the Marines. Judging
by their casualty lists of :he past
three weeks it is impossible for a
"leatherneck" to receive other than a
severe wound, for practically every
one of the lists gives the wounded
as severely wounded" and mentions
no Undetermined" degree.

Then he tried the regulars. Again
he was rejected. Next he tried the

to the Red Cross for ambulance work,
