The United States marine ma-rine corps was increased from 13,725 to 75,101 officers and men, including reserves, re-serves, lost 3,620 officers and men, and cost the government $39,948,748 in pay and allowances from April 6, 1917, the day the United States entered the war, to November 11, 1918, the day hostilities hos-tilities ceased, according to a preliminary prelim-inary "History of the United States Marine Corps 1 the World War," just issued. The history Is the work of Major Edwin N. McClellan, officer in charge of the historical division of the marine corps. Major McClellan indicates the tremendous tre-mendous growth of the corps in the statement that its approximate strength at the end of the Civil war was only 3,100, and only 4.S0Q at the conclusion of the Spanish war. He emphasizes also the rapidity with which the marines were mobilized for active overseas service in a paragraph para-graph to the effect that, although there were 187 officers and 4,546 enlisted men on duty beyond the continental limits of the United States when this ration entered the war and 49 officers and 2.1S7 enlisted men were serving on board the cruising vessels of the navy, It took only five weeks to organize organ-ize and make ready for active service serv-ice the Fifth regiment of marines, consisting con-sisting of 70 officers and 2.6S9 men, approximately one-sixth of the strength of the corps. Sail for France. The Fifth regiment sailed for France on the Henderson, De Knlb and Hancock on June 14, 1917, forming one-fifth of the first expedition of American troops for service in France. The Fifth was joined soon afterward by the sixth regiment and the Sixth machine gun battalion of marines, and the Fourth brigade of marines was organized. or-ganized. The Fourth brigade, as one of the two Infantry brigades of the Second division of rrgu'ars, engaged in actual battle, Major McClellan says, in no less than eight distinct operations opera-tions in France, of which four were major operations. Of the recognition accorded the achievements of marines, Major McClellan Mc-Clellan says: "The French army recognized the pplendid work of the Fifth and Sixth regiments of marines by citing them no less than three times in army orders or-ders for achievements in the Chateau-Thierry Chateau-Thierry sector. Since two French army citations are sufficient to make an organization eligible for the award of the French Fourragere, the high standard of the marine units is evident. evi-dent. Information was received in January, 1920, that the war department depart-ment had accepted the award of the French fourragere In the colors of the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre for several sev-eral army organizations and three units of the Fourth brigade." 30,000 Sent Abroad. The steady progress of the work of sending marines abroad is indicated by Major McClellan In the statement that within a year after the outbreak of the war the marine corps had placed about as many enlisted men In France as there were in the marine corps when the war was declared. During the period of the war approximately 80,000 marines were sent overseas to Join the American expeditionary forces and 1,600 for naval duty ashos.
