“In the Names of the Great Jehova And the Continental Congress.”

Butte, Mont., July 16. —Ethan Allen, a direct descendant of the original Ethan Allen, of Fort Ticonderoga fame, was accepted for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps here today. He has been principal of a school in this state for the last three years, and has also taught in Ohio and North Dakota. Allen’s enlistment recalls the early days of American history when Fort Ticonderoga was held in turn by the French and British until finally captured by his illustrious grandsire in 1775. It is another reminder of the wiping out of old differences between nations, happily now serving together against a common enemy.
