|U. S. Leathernecks Help Keep Peace In Almost Every Part Os The Globe

By Maurltx A. llallgren. (INS Stuff Correspondent I Washington. "From the halls or Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." Thus slug the United States Marines of the scenes of their adventures In nftny foreign lands. They have supressed warlike Indians In Spanish Florida, have routed pirates on the coast of Barbary. have put down revoultlons in Central America, have stopped riots in Korea, have punished bandits In Formosa and have maintain**! order In various ports along both coasts of South America Their activities have taken them Into almost every country in the world and they have seen action In virtually every year since they were organized as a corps u century and a half ago. Their biggest Job was put over with a wallop in the Battle of Be Ilea a Woods and subsequent World War engagements in the summer of 1918. And today the Marines are perhaps as busy as they ever have been. Os the 17.800 men listed on the rolls of the corps, no less than 11,295 are on active foreign duty, some of them aboard American men-of-war. though the majority are busy in China and Central American. 7.000 At Home Remaining at home are somewhat less than 7,000 of the leathernecks. These are widely distributed among the various marine posts anil naval shore stations. With the exception ot a detachment of 1.000 at Quantico, Virginia, who are being held in reudines for a call for assistance from any pari of the globe, this force is barely large enough to keep the organization functioning in this country. Marines afloat are to be found circling the earth, while Devil Dogs on foreign duty stretch from the Caribbean into the interior of Asia. Ap-

SUMMER CAMPS With the opening of the summer

camping season only about a month distant a host of Boy Scouts are eageriy looking forward to making the summer of the busiest camping months in the history of Scouting. Hundreds of Scout camps located in every state of the Union are alreadypreparing for the forthcoming invasion. Councils in many of the larger municipalities have started w-ork on greater and better canip projects to replace established camping locations of last year, many of which wera outgrown before the season had ended. Careful estimates indicate that more than 250,000 Boy Scouts will be in camp during 1927. The majority It is estimated that, fullv 2tiU,UUU Boy Scouts had outing periods in organized camps last year. More than 80.500 boys attended camps maintained by First Class Scout Councils. In addition to these there were thousands of boys in camps maintained by Second Class Councils, by troops not under any council and at independent troop camps generally. Thousands more enjoyed week end camps and winter camps. Camping facilities for every boy with every boy a camper are objectives of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts carry on vocational merit badge activities at most camps and at each there are important instructions in swimming and in life saving. While exact statistics are not yet available, computations indicate fully 30,000 boys were taught to swim last year. More than 14,000 swimming merit budges were granted to Scouts who developed swimming proficiency at First Class Council camps in 1926. New Scout camp projects include a drive by the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New- York for a million dollars to construct and equip the largest Scout camp in the world with a capacity for more than 5,000 Scouts at one time. Akron, Ohio, has recently, by bequest, obtained a SIOO,OOO camp site. Boy Scouts at Mt. Vernon, Washington. will have a new camp at Cyprus Island. Funds have been raised at Atlanta, Georgia, for a new $75,000 camp. Newark, New Jersey, has purchased and is developing a 1,736 acre camp site. A new site has been purchased for the camp at Wilmington, Delaware, Boy Scouts, near Frederlekfown, Maryland. Siwanoy Council. Westchester County, New York, has recently acquired and is developing au excellent site. Win Honor Medais Twenty-four gold Honor Medals, the highest award of the Boy Scouts of America, and seventy certificates for heroism wore presented during 1920 to Boy Scouts who risked their own lives to save others.

These are ihe Fourth Regiment on duty In Shanghai; the Sixth, which sailed for Ihe Orient aboard the Henderson early In April, and an additional provisional regl-j mem, being assembled for duty In J China nt San Diego.

The number of honor medals granted established a new record, the greatest previous number having been twenty-two in 1925. Since the founding of the Scout Movement only ninety-three honor medals have been granted. Altogether, in the same period, there have been 1,246 awards -for life saving.

The pages of the record of the National Court of Honor through which these presentations are made are filled with stories of bra' rv, gallantry, and self-sacrifice by boys in their teens. All but three of the 1926 rescues were from drowning. The Scout whose life was lost was Verne Lcuis Lafontine, sixteen years’ cld, of Linden, California, whose drowning two hoys younger than himself. | — -4) j Special Flag Planned For Premier Mussolini I Rome (United Press).—A special flag for Mumsolini in his capacity as *»■ »■<«*■« .- ,«■ -r -ycaannWiW . - . - - Tift ' premier of lujjj is Kti| wtaM up i the experts of the navy, and will be j flown from the masts of all units which the Duce honors with a visit.

P MERRIMAN Dearest husband you have left us And our loss we deeply feel, Will it always be so lonely? Is it a wound that can not heal? Are you gone away for ever? Oh! Why did it have to be. You should leave us all so sudden A broken hearted family. I And as we gather round the fire side To have our morning prayer We look around the room and see Naught but your vacant chair. We simply miss you every where We miss your pleasant smile. For you were always doing, Something you thought worth while. And It seemed as if we could never go To the "old white church” again. For our once happf band is broken, And our song has lost one strain. Even the old white chrfreh will miss you. If it c(#ild hut speak and say: Oil' how we’d love to have you back To speak and sing and pray. But we’ll try to bare it bravely And say Thy "Will Be done". And we'll meet you up in Heaven Where they enter one by one. And we’ll always love our Savior, And try to be good and true; Andpray that he will give us strength For the work we have to do. We will try and be contented. Till the end of the race, Then we’ll clasp glad hands in glory Where we ll meet you face to face. - Clara Riley Monroe, Indiana. R. R. 2
