I . Marl KM in Plymouth. Two sections of U. S. marines passed through this city Friday afternoon on their way to Chicago. They were a part of the naval reserve of Chicago, a permanent organization which was called out at the opening of the war. Portins of the crews of forty seven ships were represented. The majo ity of those on the lirst section had served on either the Indiana, Oregon, Vale, Harvard, Caseius, Lancaster or New Vork. Our sailors bear a remarkable contrast to the Japanese crew which passed through here Wednesday. They are much more handsome and larger of stature.
