THEIR RECENT DUTY IN HONDURAS RECALLS EARLIER EXPLOITS IN KOREA. ' I By EDWARD B. CLARKE Washington. — Down in Honduras where there has been a revolution, or i at any rate a pretty stiff kind of a ! war between two political factions, American marines mid sailors were { landed the other day to protect American Interests. As usual they were fired on. hut the navy men of the United States are used to this sort of thing. Within the last 'even or eight years reams of stories have been written ' nut the marines 4 the UnitetJ States navy, and what they did at Belleau Wood and elsewhere during the World w ar. Some persons have said that the marines were over-advertised. It was not it ease of over advertising the marines, but possibly It "’as a case at times of under-advertising the units of the United States army which at Belleau Wood f,night shoulder to shoulder with the -iMiers of the sea

This Honduras affair brings to mind tin* fact that Ann ’ can murines, and frequently the hlimiaekets with them, have been compelled time after time to land on foreign shores to engage in fights and generally to ran Into dangers In behalf of good order. Most of these tldngs In which the sea forces have been engaged 'tt land could not

When They Landed Korea. The landing at Honduras brings to mind a landing years ago In Korea, which then was not tinder the control and direction of the Japanese government. At the time of the war between Chinn and Japan Lieut, (leorge F. Elliott with 21 marines and 29 sailors made a hurry-up march from Chemulpo to Seoul In Korea in order to protect the American consulate and the mis-
sionaries at that place.
At that time Elliott was attached to the U. S. S. Baltimore. News came to the ship that the Koreans had raised the cry, “Korea for ttie Koreans,” and were about to massacre all the foreigners at the Korean capital. Admiral McNair ordered Lieutenant Elliott and his little command to take tip “double tin at" across country
to save tlio missionaries.
it is probable that few military bodies ever were uskefi to engage In such p drive as that turned out to he. The ship's detachment which went overlasd in Honduras the other day had a hard time of It. hut the Korean double-time march of the marines and sailors rather shadows other things of the same general nature.

They are Roy Brackney, Will Glidewell and Gilbert Pritchard, and all are said to be well up in the race. Indications point to a more evenly divided vote than in any race that has been staged in a primary election in Putnam county in many years. Just what the outcome of the race between Judge Hughes and John James will be, is the big puzzle. Both candidates as well as their supporters believe each will be nominated, but because of the apparent lack of interest in the primary on the part of the voters. One can talk to scores of men and women on the down town streets and unless a candidate is met, no politics is mentioned. Even the candidates are at a loss to explain this condition on the part of the vot-
ers could not attend so the surprise part was left out and all were a.-ked to stay at the building for a six o’clock picnic dinner. During the interval between the dismissal of classes and the serving of the dinner, the time was spent in playing game, on the lawn by both the old and the young boys and girls. It was even whispered around that Aunt Eva Torr and Aunt Mary Torr engaged in a waltz. Three long tables, the full length of the room were spread with all the goo dthings the season affords and the ywere fixed up in the most dainty and tasty styles that the good cooks of Madison township could prepare.

Schley, Too, Fought There. It was In Korea, away back Just after the Civil wur. that the late Bear Admiral Schley, then a young naval officer, led a mixed party of marines and sailors on a most dangerous fighting errand The sailors and their marine mates had a hand-to-hand fight on that oceaslon with the enemy, hut they won the day. although they lost a considerable number In dead and
wounded.
It was not so many years ago that the Lieutenant Elliott who commanded the marines and sailors In the Ko rean march and who had been- promoted to a general’s rank, was in charge of a land force on the Isthmus of Panama. This was before the building of the canal, and a revolution was on in the isthmian country. The revolutionists made an attempt to blow Elliott and his command off the face of the Isthmus with dynamite. The gen oral, who had Jnst one private of marines with him at the time, Jumped on a revolutionist just as he was about to light the fuse which would set the dynamite off. Elliott had many narrow escapes but this was about the
closest.
In this particular tale drawn out of the past about the marines and the sailors It is hard work to get away IE from George F. Elliott. After he had |E fought against the Spaniards in Culm jr he was sent to the Philippines where, |3 while in command of a force of about , E 300 marines, tie attacked an insurgent j = body which was entrenched about the 1 z town of Novaleta.

They ^ won the victory by sheer force of t E brute streivtli and man courage. Just after the fight the sun did for E

With only another week before the primary election, the few candidates who are seeking nomination in the state as well as in this county, are very busy and are beating the bushes
for votes on Mtfy 6.
There are only two races in the county which are creating any interest. They are the judgship and sheriff’s races. With Judge James P. Hughes and John H. James each seeking the Democratic nomination
interest them more than anything thus far, a light vote will be case on
May 6.
Jackson Here Tonight Ed Jackson, republican candidate for governor, will speak at Greencastle this evening, speaking in the court house at eight o’clock. Indications from over the state would tend to show that Jackson is one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination.. It is conceded by some that the race wrill between Jackson, Shank and Toner, hut so far no one is able to say which will come out ahead. Hardly anyone expects eithe of the candidates to receive a majorit;’ of the votes and be nominated, hr' it is said that the leader will have th 1 edge when the state convention ballots for the nomination.
After the tables were cleared away a very interesting program of music, readings and dialogues was given by the pupils. Then more game- were played and all seemed reluctant to depart for their homes. Some of the patrons said the games on the lawn were continued long after they had returned home and retired. A unanimous vote was given by the pupils and patrons for the return of Miss Lola Neese, the teacher, whose home is at Manhattan. There were about twenty-two pupils in the school, with about all of the grades from the primary to the eighth grade pupils.
