Assistant Secretary, Who Returned
With the President Asserts Ma.
rines' Casualties Were More
Than 100 Per Cent.

Boston, Feb. 26.--The work Of the

was made plain here by Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Franklin ID. Roose-

Discussing the work accomplished.
the assistant secretary said;
During the war We had $50 vessels

We had total Of "a stations located
in different parts of Great Britain,
Ireland. France, Italy, Greece, Gibral-
tar and tie Azores.
when the armistlce was signed we
had total of 100000 men and officers
abroad.
"'Ths work of our marines at Chateau
Thierry, Belleau woods. Scissors, ST.
Nitiel and Other points is historic, but
the fact that their casualties were
more than 100 per cent is notg Their
strength was always kept up through
requirements, of whom 5000 were sent
abroad. The marines and the Second
division in which they We're have a

"0ne Of the greatest accomplish
ments of the war was the laying of
the mine barrage IN tine North sen.
This work was one of the biggest
tasks initiated during the war. Had
it been carried through to completion
it would have meant that q total of
100000 individual mines. costing $780,
100000, would have been laid down
from the Orkney island across the
North sea to Norway, completely
blocking the operations of the German
U-boats.
This work was undertaken by
agreement with the British admiralty.
The United States undertook TO do
four.fifths of the work and the British
one-fifth. When the armistioe ended
the labor we had laid total of 566l3
individual mines at cost OF S31 .000,-
GOO, and the British had laid l3,G25
mines at a cost to them Of $7000,000.
