This brigade comprises the Fifth and Sixth regiments of marines and the Sixth machine-gun battalion. These, are the marines_ whQ immortalised themselves at Bouresches village and iv Bols de Belleau, now officially the Wood of the American Marines--the marines themselves call it Hellwood. All the world knows about those 12 days at Chateau Thierry--how they blocked the German advance that was rolling on toward Paris six or seven miles a day; how they threw back the crack guard divisions of the Hun; how they drove them backward into the re* treat that ended only with surrender. "Soldiers and sailors, too "leathernecks," always ready; picked men,: physically shooters and expert riflemen; the flret to land and the first to fight the marines 1 "What we have, we hold," their motto. Their stereotyped report: "The marines have landed and bold the situation well In hand." Thtir battle cry: "E-e-e-e-e y-a-a-h-h-h yip!" The marines constitute the oldest branch of the military service of the United States. They are even older than the nation itself, having been established by the Continental congress In November, 1775. Pretty much all the, . world has seen them since; in their 143 years they have made history from Tripoli to China, from the Philippines to Mexico. perfect; sharp- What Is a Bolshevik? And What Is Bolshevism? . e M1VHAT Is a bolshevik?" "What Is bolshevismT* These are questions Vf which mahy Americans are asking these days. Probably the word bolshevik was first used in Russia in 1905 after the splitting of the socialist party. It was applied to the majority faction, "bolsha" menning "majority." The socialists s|>lit over the "fundamental law" decree. The minority, the menshevlki, was composed of the conservatives who did not favor violence as a method of obtaining reform. The bolsheviki were the radicals who favor bombing, sabotage and terrorism as the means to their end. Whatever bol-j shevism originally meant, today It/ means something about like this: Bolshevism proclaims that socialism as taught by Marx is the panacea for all social and economic ills. Therefore establish at once a socialist republic. Abolish nationalism for internationalism. Inasmuch as Marxian socialism prescribes seisure and nationalisation, ef private capital, public utilities and all means of production, everything in sight Is to be taken over by the socialist state. Theoretically, compensation, may be made to escape disorder and violence. But just now compensation Is sentimental and unnecessary, owing to conditions. Bolshevists hold that the upper and middle classes must submit unconditionally or perish; they ar£ excluded from participation in the government, which must be entirely in the hands of the proletariat If they resist, terrorlam is as justifiable against them as against a tyrannical czar.

Americans, except «h» British, are the only soldiers accustomed to bathe--and medical edsncs appreciates the bath, Amsstaan soldiers are trigger, hnekler and show more "pep." Dentistry and bathing are well in their way. But the real reason for ths American nhyslcal superiority is the plentlfulness of food In the United States. Europe In our time never has had enough to eat In America we waste enough to feed the iTrench and Italians. In the reign of Henry Vm, > Froude declared, every English family had beef every duy. Certainly never since then has every English family had beef once a week. And England has long been better fed than Europe ever was. Just now we Americans are eating less and complaining of high prices. We do not know when we are w£ll off. This country _has had more food and better distribution of supplies than Europe ever saw, notwithstanding our railroad congestion and faulty methods of transportation. Moreover, here are better care for the body, more conveniences, more comforts and more mechanical appliances to make life easier. We are farther along the road to material felicity than ever was any country in any period of civilization. The United States is the nearest approach to Elysium. As the result, the average American is a better animal, a better Intelligence and probably a better moral person than the average. Europe also discovered in the American a first-class fighting man. HER FIRST REAL MONEY "This card represents my first rsal money," recently said a farmer's wife, with an odd look of mingled pride, deprecation and something very like triumph. & "At home, as a girl, I had no money. Mother bought, things for us children with whatever money father gave her. Since I've been married It's been much the same. I've got things at the town stores and Jim's paid for them. Even my egg and butter money has gone, as a rule, to help with the household upkeep-- turned In on the grocery hill, usually. I've never seemed able to. hold en to a penny. "But when the War Savings Stamps came along I said to myself, 'Here's your chance, Mary 1' And now I buy War Savings Stamps regularly, take 'em In change as regularly as I sell chickens or cash the creamery check at the bank.

Do not sell your War Savings Stamps. The government borrowed the money for a specific purpose.

Already the advance guard is arriving and it Is easy to. get an idea of what will happen when the soldier and sailor boys return In force. The welcome will be warm. Nothing will be too good for them. But there is more to the home-coming of these boys than a warm welcome. There are many serious problems to be met and solved.

Those who find no Job waiting for them must be given work. The disabled must be rehabilitated, trained and made self-supporting. Then there's the boy who took a war bride and has no home i In the old daya, when a pioneer's son married, his father gave him a piece of land and a horse or a pair of oxen. The bride's father gave her a cow and chickens. The mothers contributed pots, pans and kettles. The neighbors got together and had a house-raising. First they knew the young couple had a neat little cabin with all the necessary fixin's. Of course this sort of thing can't be done in the twentieth Century in Just that way.

Stephane Lausanne, editor of the Paris Matin, says we are In for Jnet such a series of visits. He has been In this country for several months on np official mission and before sailing for home the other day he said r "It has been a diplomatic custom tram time Immemorial that the head Of one government who entertains the head of another repays the visit." While no official announcement of plans has been made, M. Lausanne declared it was certain President Poincare would come to the United States within the next year, as his term of office expires in 1920. No official announcement of plans will be made, be added, until President Wilson has arrived la France and visited the capital* of the various natlona. \ United States statesmen probably will have to bruah up on precedent* and formalities for state occasions, M- Lausanne added, as the United Statesnever has received the head of a foreign government, with the exception of King Kalakaua of the Sandwich islands.
