Permanent Force
OF 27,467 Asked
For Marine Corps
Gen. Barnett, in His Annual
Report, Urges That Policy
of Drawing Officers Frog
the Ranks Be Continued

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga perma-
ncnt enlisted strength Of 27,467 men
for the Marine Corps, approximately
double the pre-war force. is recon
mended by Major General Barnett,
commandant, in his annual report.
Early action by Congress is urged, as
delay would mean loss Of rank for tenn
porary officers who will be retained.
Opportunity to qualify for permanent
commissions should be given all pres
cnt temporary officers eligible COR
transfer, the report said, adding the
recommendation that such commissions
be made probationary for one year.
Attributing much of the success of
the Marine Corps in the war to the
system of drawing it's commissioned
personnel from the ranks. the COM
mandant said the "highest efficiency"
would be served by adherence to this
policy, which attracts the highest class
of recruits.
Asks Increased Pay
General Barnett recommended that
the present two, three and four year
enlistment terms be made permanent
as being more attractive than the rigid
pre-war term Of four years, and asked
increased pay for both enlisted men
and officers.
Great difficulty is being experienced
in replacing the temporary enlisted
personnel of the aviation section uf the
corps, now completely demobilized
General Barnett recommended special
grades be provided in order to place
the three aviation services on parity
and asked for sixty additional officers
for aviation.
The report declared the taking of
Blanc Mont Ridge during the war by
the I'd Division, to which the Marine
brigade was still attached, was an
achievement whose brilliancy rivals
the record of the Marines in Belseau
Wood"
The commandant also paid tribute to
the fighting Of the marines in the
Aisne- Marne offensive of 1918, declar-
ing their early morning surprise at
tack in the Bois de Rit, near SCISSORS,
on July i3 to have been one of the
most brilliant achievements of the war
Their operations in the St. Mihiel Of
fensive, he said, proved the same in
vincible spirit.
Casualties were 1865
Four members of the corps received
the Medal Of Honor, four the Distin-
euished Service Medal and 349 the
Distinguished Service Cross, while
,237 were awarded the French Croix
de Guerre and fifteen the French Le-
gion Of Honor. Total Marine Corps
casualties in France, the report showed,
were 11968, with 1.514 killed.
The report described operation of
Marine Corps aircraft cooperating with
ground troops in Hayti and Santo Do
mingo. A squadron of seven water
planes and six land planes now is
working with the expedtionary brigade
in Hayti, while six land planes are sta
toned in Santo Domingo.
Hunting the guerillas with machine
guns and bombs, these planes, the re-
port said, are producing an effect of
terror more efficacious in tanning the
insurrectonists than any method yet

Lisbon Seeks Spanish City
Fortified Border Town May Be
Claimed bv Portugal

LISBON, Nov %. - Speaking In
the Portuguese Senate yesterday, Ber-
nardino Machado, former President,
asked what the present government WAS
doing to regain the city Of Olivanza
for Portugal. He said that, as result
of her efforts during the war, Portugal
had the right to ask that the city be
restored to her
In replying. the Foreign Minister
said the government knew the rights
of Portugal in this matter, but added
it was a question to be settled in a
friendly way between Spain and Portu
gal without the intervention of a third
party.
Olivenza is fortified town in Spain
about fifteen miles southwest of Bada-
joz, near the Portuguese frontier. In
1871 it was taken by Spain, which has
since held it.

Thrilling Week. Ends.

It IS curious to recall how many
thrilling Saturdays and Sundays there
have been during the war. It was ON
a Sunday that Germany committed
her first definite act Of war. On a
Sunday the London Times published
its telegram about the retreat from
Mons, which created so painful a feel
ing in that country. The crucial day
Of the second battle Of Ypres, when
the Germans nearly broke through with
the help of gas. was a Saturday. II
was on a Saturday that the earlier
dispatches regarding the battle Of Jut-
land created so unfortunate an Inn
preston. and 1t vas on q Saturday in
March this year that we began to real
lie the grim possibilities of the Ger.
man offensive Of that month.

FIVE YOUNGER THAN AMERICA
This Country BY No Means Most u.
venile 81 the Nations Engaged
In the War.

The average man thinks the United
States Is the youngest nation that was
actively engaged in the war that prac-
tically ended with the recent signing
Of the armistice with Germany. AS q
matter Of fact, 1t is one Of the older
nations engaged In the q
The most recently formed nations
that have taken part In the struggle
are Roumania, Bulgaria, and Serbia,
which were given their independence
Of Turkey about forty years ago. They
had existed before. though not pre-
cisely In the limits of today, but they
had been long under Turkish rule.
Next In youth is Germany. OF course
there has been a Germany for twenty
centuries or longer, but at first 1,e
name described the territory In which
various entirely independent tribes
lived and afterward it described a fed
GRAFTON SO loosely Joined together that
Its states were as often fighting each
other as In alliance with each other.
Still later-about fifty years ago-Ger-
many was divided into two fedora
lions, but both combined against
France in 1870. The German empire
was established in 1871 and Germany
was " really a nation before that
time. r."
Next comes Italy, which became .
kingdom in 1859 or 1860. OF course
italian history is older than the his
tory Of any other country in Europe
except Greece, but the earlier history
Of Italy was the history Of Rome,
which overlowed the boundaries Of
the peninsula and conquered the great
er part Of the known world. But less
than sixty years ago what is now Italy
was divided into four states. It was
consolidated about fifty-eight years
ago, though a small. strip Of territory
was left to the pope. This was taken
during the war between France and
Germany and the capital Of the united
nation was moved to Rome.
So five of the nations taking an ac-
tive part in the al are younger than
the United States, which had existed
as an Independent government nearly
M hundred years before the German
empire was established. OF course the
states of Germany are older than the
United States, but the German empire
Is not. i.
If Greece were considered as taking
an active part in the war she would
be added to the list of juniors. being
less than a century old. France, Great
Britain, Russia, and Austria are the
only nations participating in the war
that are older than the United States
unless Portugal's participation is con-
sidered active enough to count In the
list.

She added, unbeknownst to Daphne,
a postscript as long as the letter, con-

She lugged the box away to her room.
Bayard flung himself into a chair and
listened to the cautdron OF his own
hateful thoughts. Gradually they
ceased to bubble AMI stew. He could
hear now the muffled beat Of Leila's
sorrow. He resisted It for q while,
sneered at it, ragged at 1t, and then at
the cruelty of the word.
Leila's sObs had stepped now and
Bayard listened for taem ~anxiously.
Perhaps she had died of frief. A lasso
seemed to have caught hisa about the
shoulders; it was dragging him to the
door. ]
He went there at last, ans! listened.
He heard a low whimpering, unendur-
ably appealing. He tapped on the door
and called through it.
Leila, honey love, forgive me. I've
seen the little gown. It's beautiful.
You shall have it-and a dozen like it.
Please forgive me and love me again.
