GEN. GOURAUD REVIEWS
MARINES HE DIRECTED
IN CHAMPAGNE CONFLICT

Gen. Eugene Gouraud's review of
the marine brigade at Quantico yes
terday afternoon seemed more like a
learned to love one another as COM
rades in arms than q pompous mill
tary ceremony in honor Of a distin-
guished foreign guest. ..
1t was the 9Th and 9Th Regiments
of United States Marines. which form
the main body of the Quantico ex-
under the famous French strategist
in his offensive before Champagne,
and he kissed their colors long and
fervently as mark Of his unforgot-
ten love.
If Gen. Gouraud learned to honor
the marines as men of war long
years ago, so he learned to salute
them as men Of peace yesterday. His
eyes shining with pure pleasure, his
whole frame quivering with emotion,
he hailed them one and all in a pub
lie address after the review as SOL
diers, tried and true"-the highest
compliment a nghting general who
had been wounded eight times could
pay a body of fighting men.
Appearance Changed.
The last time Gen. Gouraud saw the
United States marines they. wore
their field uniforms Of olive drab; yes
terday they looked their best in
smart blue coats, immaculate white
trousers. white belts and white hats.
And their fine appearance and demon
stration won for themselves and their
commander, Brig. Gen. Smedley D.
Butler. the compliments Of the high
est officers in both the Army. and
Navy. besides Maj. Gen. Lejeune and
Secretary Denby.

booming salute Of q battery of French

tables, a distance OF nearly two
miles, the marines stood with rifles

One Of the f,rst things Gen. Gouraud
learned about the marines in peace
time was that their officers--even
their generals-are workers. When
a detachment experienced some diff

and quietly gave his men a hand.
There was no sign of impatience in
his manner. only one Of wishing to
help untangle. a situation for which
no one could be blamed. And Gen.
Gouraud seemed pleased to the point
Of applauding.

camp. where luncheon was served at
two long tables beneath the cool
trees. Everything had been arranged
FOR their comfort, including electric
fans attached to the trees to supply
plenty of breeze should nature fail.
After luncheon the visitors were
escorted through the immaculate e
marine-built camp. One of the fea-
lures that struck Gen. Gouraud' s
fancy more than any other was that
or placing the names of the men
who had fallen in battle above their
70 be conducted to the barracks of
the 18th Company OF the 5th Regi-
ment. which had suffered cruel cas-
ualties during his Champagne drive.
But the treat OF the day-the re-
view--was still In store. The French
tri-color swung in the breeze beside
the marine headquarters colors in the
reviewing stand. Their lines straight
as an engineers plumb, the Devil
Dogs presented a striking appearance
In their dress uniforms. Gen. Gou-
raud scrutinized the men carefully
as ne walked up and down their
lines.
Kisses Emblems.
Arriving at the regimental stand
ards he halted and carefully ex-
amfned their many battle rings. Both
had been decorated with the croix
de guerre and each bore the insignia
designating their participation in at
least five major conflicts. Gently the
frehch generalissimo raised each
nag to his lips and kissed il adieu as
he was about to depart
upon returning to the reviewing

the men be permitted to gather close

hearsed the history of the Marine

said. and neither shall I ever for
get this day with you at Quantico.

rines with the opportunity to return
their own thanks when he stepped
forward and called upon the men to
join him in three rousing cheers for
the general. And they responded
with cheers that found echoes deep
In the Virginia hills. Escorted again
by Gen. Butler and his staff, the
visitors returned to the Mayfiower
and began their trip back to Wash
ington.
The day was almost marked with
a bad accident, when Lieut.. L. NJ.
kittrfck, flying a scout airplane over
the harbor just before the Mayfiower
hove in sight, fell several hundred
feet. He was en- route to escort the
vessel and her passengers to the

Worried Over War.
From the Worcester Telegram.


We are continually warned that the
next war will be a war of extermina-
tion. If we could be sure that 1t
really would be such conflict, if we
could be sure there would be no
survivors, we wouldn't need to worry.
But there is always the danger that
the job will not be thoroughly done.
There is always present the harass-
ing fear that there will be enough
people left to say: This last war
was a mere skirmish. The next war
will be a war of extermination.'

Don't Wait Too Long.
From the Congregatio

It was his first great speech, and
he wanted to make 1t tell-somethins
TO label him for once and all as the
greatest orator since ever.
His Grafton was long and passion
ate and he wished to end II with a
warning. He could have couched his
warning in the old proverb about
locking the stable door after the
horse was stolen, but that was too
commonplace. He wanted something
original.
He quickly thought of something
better. Then he shouted:
Don't, fellow countrymen and citi--
zens. L beg of you-don't wait till
the house takes fire before you sum-
mon the firemen."

yankee banks. Notes held by the
bank were put up as security. The
holding banks have proceeded to col
lect on the notes held by them and
filed claims for the difference between
the amount collected by them and the
amount of their loans.
The legality of the rejection, that is
throwing the banks claims in the gem
eral list, forcing them to disgorge
their collateral in full and to take
their chances with other creditors OF
the bank hinges on case now il liti-
cation between the Second Ward Saw

forced to give up their security, turn
over sums collected and take a place
in the line along with other creditors

centage will be materially increased.

Milwaukee banks are allowed to re-
