was the deep, dark problem OF "Who
ordered the Marines to the Capitol,
which closed with only a Fort Leayen-
worth solution putting the blame in the
last analyses on Gen. A. In this skit
was sung Who Ordered the Marines to
the Capitol?"

To the slopes of Capitol Hill

And glory ct to kill.
They have pacihed fierce pirates
And fought in many wars
And they've Travelled far. so I've been
To strange and hostile shores.
They've guarded mails, they're hard
as nails,
And they're hot stuff at drills,
But the strangest practice march

And few Marines marched down

All good Leathernecks.
