Marine Civil War Action. In the Civil war the corps served on the blockading ships of the navy and participated in naval attacks on the coastal fortifications of the Confederacy. They also made many landings from ships patrolling the Mississippi river. In the Spanish American war the marines landed at Guantanamo bay, Cuba, to secure after severe fighting the harbor as a base for the United States fleet in its operations against Santiago. Marine detachments took part in the naval battles off Santiago and in Manila bay. During the latter half of the last century and the early years of the 20th century the marines saw much service in the West Indies and Central America, notably in Nicaragua and Haiti. Sent to forestall possible European intervention and to provide protection against bandits and other lawless elements, the marines achieved a notable record of governmental administration. When America entered the last World war there were approximately 13,500 officers and men in the corps. More than half this number, however, were scattered over the face of the earth. Within five weeks marines got into the battle. The Beware Coughs Congressional Medal of Honor. One of the many famous stories involving the U. S. marines of the Fourth brigade is built around Corp. George F. Brautigam. After 10 days of bitter fighting when nearly every marine in the brigade was exhausted, Corporal Brautigam was captured by the Germans. Slowly they led him back to the Bull Pen. The Germans thought the battle-wor- n corporal would return quietly, rather than go back to his lines. But before they knew what had happened Corporal Brautigam had knocked one of his cap-todown with his fists and grasped the fallen mans bayonet and put aij end to both his guards. ' A week later he was still fighting in Belleau Wood, when he saw Lieut. George H. Yarborough of the marines badly wounded and surrounded by six Germans. He plunged into their midst with his bayonet. Two of the enemy fell and the others took flight. In the melee Brautigam was shot through the wrist; however, he succeeded in carrying the wounded officer one mile through shell fire to a hospitaL s, Later Brautigam fought at St. Mihiel and Blanc Mont. In the latter engagement he suffered a fractured hip and was gassed. Eventually he came home from France Service with the Distinguished Cross and a Croix de Guerre as tokens of his bravery overseas. rs Sois-son- a. s $s s e CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Movie House Names One out of every four motion-pictutheaters in the United States today bears one of the following names: Lyric, Majestic, Princess, Rialto, Ritz, Royal, re State or Strand. much honest discussion and helped induce social responsibility both in British labor and industry. Lucius N. Littauer, the glove magnate of Gloversville and New York city, who established the above school of business administration, was 83 years old last January. When he endowed the school with $2,250,000 in 1938, he said it was to be administered in the cause of better understanding among all mankind. He was graduated from Harvard 63 years ago, picked up his fathers glove business, and in practical business administration, learned much of the interdependent problems of labor and Indiscriminate Defense The indiscriminate defense of right and wrong contracts the understanding, while it hardens the heart. industry.

He came here three years ago and has been revitalizing and restimulating Greta Garbo, Alice Marble, Elisabeth Bergner, Antoine de Paris, Jessica Dragonette, Gabriel Pascal and other eminent persons who may safely be revivified without any danger of their becoming Frankensteins. At luncheon, he extolled sauerkraut as an energy builder. The fact is that sauerkraut had a lot to do with upping Horthy and ousting Mr. Vasarhelyi. When Horthy was a minor naval officer, the men in the fleet went on strike, saying they would rather be shot than eat another yard of sauerkraut. Disobeying the orders of his commander, Horthy seized a cruiser and made the sailors eat sauerkraut, days on end, at the point of a gun. Its inspiring effects were such that Horthy wa rewarded by being made chief admiral of the fleet. He ate still more sauerkraut and reached out and grabbed the country.
