Marines 132 Years Old; First kUnit of "Leathernecks" in 1798

'Although three thousand seamen i since the navy department was not es-

and Aarines served in the Continental navy -and marinte corps during the Revolution it was not until 1798 that the present marine corps was established bj act of congress, according to ., historical data .prepared recently for the marine corps by Major Edwin M.rMcCleUaru ' ".'In; the summer of 1781 there were on. active duty only three captains and thr.ee. lien tenants of the marine corps," wrlte44J4aj6r.: McClellan, "while nine captains and .nine lieutenants were on t h ,"juimpHyed list. Upon the conclusion?-of -the Revolutionary war the little jjaftairt, wonder-working navy and marine corps went out of existence. "The frigate Alliance, which was sold in 1785 and transformed into a merchantman, was the last survivor of the war vessels of the Revolutionarynavy that had outlived the vicissitudes of the war. The officers and enlisted men of the navy and marine corps had also been discharged when the fighting ceased. And so until 1794, when naval vessels and navy and marine corps personnel were autnorlzed by congress, the American flag was carried to foreign ports by merchant vessels only. "As early as Nov, 15, 1791, estimates were secured as to the number of marines required for frigates to be built later and it was determined that one lieutenant, one sergeant, one corporal, one drum, one life and 20 privates would be necessary. "The act of March 27, 1794, authorized the president to appoint six lieutenants of marines to serve on board the frigates that congress had ordered. Marines were included in the complements of these frigates and they were enlisted as needed. The act of July 11, 1798, brought the marine corps into being as an organization. "The estimates on Dec. 29, 1796, for the sums necessary to complete and equip the frigates United States, Constitution and Constellation and to pay, subsist, etc., the officers and crews showed that there would serve on each of the vessels one lieutenant ot marines, one sergeant, two corporals, one drummer, one iifer and 40 privates. .It is of interest to know that at this time naval affairs, including those of the marine corps, were administered by the war department.

U.S. ARMY SEEKING BALLOONIST RECRUITS Uncle Sam is looking about for 250 young men with a high school education who would like to learn the ex. citing profession of army br.lloonist, and eventually become balloon and birship reserve officers. They will be pp.id $73 a month while learning, and receive a ration allowance of $1 a day. together with quarters, all clothing and equipment, and free medical and dental treatment. The course is open lo unmarried applicants possessing a high school education, or its equivalent, who can pass the regular aray physical examination and physical tests required of flying officers. Successful candidates can enter as cadets and will be sent at once to the air service school for training as bal loon observers at Ross field. Los Angeles, Calif. There each man takes a

10 months' course in balloon observa

tablished until 1798

"That there were marine enlisted In the year 1797 is shown by a letter dated Jan. 4, 1797, received by Capt. John Barry of the navy from the war department. The period of enlistment for those marines enlisted under the terms of the act of March 27, 1794, and other acts approved prior to July 11, 1798, was one year. " The act of July 1, 1797, section 10, provided that "marines shall not be engaged to serve on board the frigates for a period exceeding one year,' but provided also that the president could discharge them sooner. The act of April 27, 1798, provided for the extension of an enlistment beyond one year, but only if the frigate was at sea; and the man could be held only 10 days after the vessel arrived in a convenient port of the United States."

Destruction of Lusitania Aroused American Wrath About 2 p. m., on May 7, 1915, the great Cnnard liner Lusitania, on a voyage from New York, with 1,918 persons on board, was sunk without notice by the German submarine U-39, 10 miles off Old Head of Kinsale. The vessel went down 21 minutes after the attack", with resultant loss of 1,154 lives, including men, women and children, of whom 114 were Americans. The Berlin government at first asserted that the Lusitania was. "of course, arnfed;" and German agents in New York procured testimony, which was subsequently proved in court to have been perjured, to bolster up this falsehood. In further justification, the German government adduced the fact that the Lusitania was carrying ammunition, which, it. said, was "destined for ihe destruction of brave German soldiers." This contention our government rightly swept aside as "irrelevant." The essence of the Lusitania case was stated by our government in its

note of June 9, as follows: "Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passengers, and carrying more than a thousand souls who had not part or lot In the conduct of the war, was sunk without so much as a challenge or a warning, and that men, women, and children were sent to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare."

Militia Companies Formed In County for Emergency Sixty-eight enlisted men and three officers made up the personnel of Co. K 3rd Infantry, Indiana State Militia organized here during the war for any emergency that might arise in Indiana. Another company was organized at Cambridge City. Officers of the company were Captain M. J. Malsby, First Lieut. Frank Benn, Second Lieut. Vern Pentecost, and later Second Lieut. Ed Wilson. The companies were in state service for over two years and mustered out last spring. Seventeen days were spent in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor during the strikes in those places in 1919. Plans to reorganize this company and affiliate with the National Guard are now under consideration.

Former Service Men Given Oportunity To Enter West Point Now The new class of "plebes" at the West Point Military Academy is 630 strong, and includes the largest number of appointees from the ranks of the army in the history of West Point, with sixty former privates enrolled. Before 1916,. soldiers could enter the military academy from the ranks only upon appointment by their congressman, but today recruits after one year's service with the colors, between 19 and 22 years of age, wfyo can pass the entrance examination, are eligible without congressional appointment. Major General P. C. Harris, adjutant general of the army, announces that any young high school graduate enlisting, whose record is clear, may enter West Point on the first entrance

When the cadet is rated as a balloon observer, he goes to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to receive his military training. Upon completion of this course, the student is commissioned a second lieutenant in the air service reserve corps.
