Then Kelly became thoughtful. "Gee. boys," fcg'utd, "suppose they'd been a Chink on the, other side of that gate." Marines take that sort of a chance when trer it Is necessary, the recruiting sergeants say, but on the whole they fight behind oover whenever possible, conducting them Mlves cautiously and running no unneces- , aary risks.

An attack upon tho military program of tho United States In our preparations for war with Germany, which was made by Representative James I.

" Representative Boyd, of Montgomery, In terrupting Maurer, declared that he would not stand by and listen to Maurer's state ments "derogatory to our national policy." "If you can't stand tho truth, you're at liberty to withdraw," Maurer shot back at the Montgomery man, who had taken his scat. "You commended the people of Rus sia, earlier In the evening for supporting a democracy," Maurer went on, referring to tho House's action In passing a resolution presented by Representative Stltes, Boyd's colleague from Montgomery, "congratulat ing the people of Russia, and yet you would deny me the right to express my honest views."
