As Captain Thomason it a marine officer, natur. how-eve- Cacao chiefs, whimsically sanguinary, barefoot generals with nnmo in, Charlemagne and Chrlstophe, waged war according to the precepts of the French revolution and the Cult of the Snake. They drank the eau da vie nf Haute-Marnand reminisced on sakl, and vino, and Bacardi rum strange drinks In strange cantlnas at the far ends of Uie earth; and they spoke fondly of Milwaukee beer. Rifles were high and holy things to them: thev also talked patronizingly of the' war. and were concerned about rations. They were the Leathernecks, the Old Timers; collected from ship's guards ana snore stations all over the earth to form the Fourth brigade of marines, the two rifle regiments, detached from the navy by order of the Presi dent for service with the American Expeditionary Forces. Thev were the old breed of American regular, regarding the service as home and war as on occupation ; and they transmitted their temper and character and viewpoint to the volun teer mass which filled the ranks of the Marine brigade. It is a pleasure to record thnt they found good company In the armv. The Second Division (United Str.tes Regular was the ofiiclal designation) was composed of the Ninth and Twenty-thirInfantry, two old regi ments with names from all of our wars on their battle-flags- , the Second regiment of engineers and engineers are always good and the Twelfth, Fifteenth, and Seventeenth field artil lery. It was a division distinguished r, Seven years after the war, across the world from France, I met a major of the American general staff, who road that last ras on the Paris-Met- z week in May. 1918, and saw the boys tow; In. "They looked fine, coming lu there," he said. "Tall fellows, healthy and fit they looked hard and competent. We watched you going In, through those little' tired Frenchmen, and we all felt better. We knew something was going lo happen" and we were silent over Chilean wine, In a place on the South Pacific, thinking of those days and those men. . . . There Is no sight In nil the pageant of war like young, trained men lulng to battle. The columns look solid and businesslike. Each battalion Is an entity, 1,2X men of one purpose. They go on like a river that flows very deep and strong. Uniforms are drab these days, hut there a.re points of llht on the helmets and the bayonets, Hnd light In the quick, steady eyes and the brown young faces, greatly daring. There Is no singing veterans know, and they do not sing much and there Is no excitement at til ; they are schooled craftsmen, going up to Impose their will, with the tools of their trade, on another lot of fellows; and there Is nothing to make a fuss about Patties are not salubrious places, and every file knows that agreat many more are going In than will come out again but that Is along with the Job. And they have no Illusions about the Job. There Is nothing particularly glorious about sweaty fellows, laden with ktlllr.g tools, nolng along to fight And yet such a column represents a great Individuals deal more than 28,0(10 mustered Into a division.

The Sepoy Mutiny FEW potB of greuse coat muny thousand lives and nearly lii India, ubout hulf a century ugo, besldea Inaugurating one of the bloodiest tragedies ever enacted. India's history, down to the Seventeenth century, la largely a chronicle of barbarUiu, Internecine wars, Invasions and Oriental Intrigue, with a growing European influence in the most accessible districts. The vast country was teeming with wealth of a sort thut attracted Europe's covetous eye. The Portuguese won a commercial foothold there, only to be driven from power by the Hutch, who in time were crowded out by English and French. Lust of all, the French were routed by the English, until, by 170o, England practically ruled India. Olive, Warren Hastings, Lord Coruwullla und other governors brought the wholo territory either directly or indirectly under lirltlsh sway. The natives were untrustworthy. The Indian potentates whose power was checked and a horde of fanatics whose religious rites hud been curtailed by the foreign rule were ever stirring up revolt against their new. masters. Hence it was necessary to maintain a large army lu India. England could not spare a sufficient force of while men for the purpose, so organized native regiments, under Prlt-Is- h ollicers, and trained them ulong European lines. These native troops were called Sepoys (from the Persian word "slpi'ihl," signifying "soldier"), soil proved splendidly efficient in repeated campaigns. Thus, by lSod, all India seemed safe and moderately content under ltrltish domination. True, there were countless fanatics and unscrupulous native rulers who waited only the opportunity to rebel; but for a long time they lacked the chance. That same "chance" came about in an unforeseen fashion. Like most misfortunes of this sort, It was brought about and then augmented by blunders on the part of the ISrlllsh government. Several English regiments had been withdrawn from northern and central India to serve In the Crimean war. Others were away in Iturmah. These departures left barely eighteen white regiments available for action. Several of the most Important arsenal and garrisons were In charge of the At about this time the EnSepoys. field rille was adopted for use mining the Sepoys. In loading the ritle It whs necessary to bite off the end of I lie These cartridges were cartridges. coated with grease. They were also lacked In glazed paper. The foregoing facts swm mere trifles, yet they brought on a bloody Insurrection. The Sepoy regiments were mnile up of Mahometan. and Ituihihlsts. As the English very well knew, the P.uddhlsts and Mahometans alike are forbidden by the most sacred laws of their religion from eHting or even handling polk. At once it was claimed by native rulers, agitator and fanatics that in greasing the f;it of MVine was the cartridge and gln.ing the paper. To this was lidded the rumor that the government was seeking to force th native troops to embrace Christianity, by mulling them violate their own creed. At once fanaticism bhi.'.ed Into furious revolt.
