MILITARY FORCE NEEDED

That every reasonable American ap-
preciates the necessity OF maintaining
a sufficient. military organization Tor
the protection Of the United states
was the opinion expressed by MAJ; a.
Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandment OF
the United States Marine Corps. In a
talk on the history of the marines be-

the New City Club yesterday AFTER

than those who have experienced the
horrors of war" declared the com.
mandant. But common sense and
close study of the aftermath OF all
great wars teach US. especially IN
these unsettled times. that total aboii-
ton of military force would not only
be foolhardy. but suicidal to the
United States
In brief resume of the history OF
the Marine Corps. which, he said.
came into being by an act of Congress
in 1898. Gen. Lejeune paid glowing
sea soldiers of the country. and
stressed their activities in all wars
participated in by the United States.
An Ancient Institttion.
The Marine Corps is an ancient in.
stitution.' said the general I'VE find

Phoenicians. 1t continued down
throug gin the middle ages. until Great
Britain, due to trouble with the
Netherlands. when most of her navy
mutinied. formed her first marines.
with John Churchhill, later the Duke
of Marlborough, in command OF one
battalion"
He said that the American marines
were similar to the British. and that
their first introduction in this coun-
try was when the Continental Con-
gresS ordered two battalionS organ
lied in 1875. Prior to that time the
military strength of America was
composed of state militia and the
navy, he said.
The noted fighter then detailed the
campaigns in which the United States
Marines had taken part. recalled their
splendid behavior in the war of 1877.
the aid given by them to Gen. Scott
in the Mexican war, their activities In
the civil and Spanish wars. and briefly
recalled the, part. they had played
in the recent great conflict.
He then told of construction work
accomplished by the marines at Guam
tico. and said that the athletic sta
dium being erected at that place
would be the largest and the best
equipped in the world. "And all at
a cost of approximately $4,000. due
to the work of the marines. Or. In
other words, the government becomes
the owner of half-million dollar
project for $4,000"
From November to March last. when
marines were in charge Of the United
States mails. the government loss
from robberies was reduced from
s9.OOO.O0O annually to absolutely moth
ing, the speaker said.
Rudolph Jose presided, and an
nounced that the entire club would
visit the Civitan fresh-air camp at
