8 WOULD KEEP 27,467 MARINES Major Barnett Recommends the Permanent Strength Double Pre-War Force Washington, Nov. 24. —A perma nent enlisted strength of 27,467 men tor the Marine Corps, approximately double the pre-war force, Is recom mended by Major General Barnett, commandant, in his annual report. Early action of Congress is urged, as delay would mean loss of rank for temporary officers who will be re tained. Attributing much of the success of the Marine Corps in the war to the system of drawing its commis sioned personnel from the ranks, the commandant said the "highest effi ciency" would be served by adher ence to this policy which attracts the highest class of recruits. General Barnett recommended I that the present two, three and four , year enlistment terms be made per- i manent as being more attractive ' than the rigid pre-war term of four j years, and asked increased pay for J both enlisted men and officers. Great difficulty is being experi- ] onced in replacing the temporary | enlrsted personnel of the aviation section of the corps, now completely demobilized. General Barnett rec ommended special grades be pro- j vided in order to place the three aviation services on a parity and j asked for 60 additional officers for I aviation. Telling of the Marines' war serv- j Ice, the report says four members; of the corps received the medal of j honor, four the distinguished serv-1 ice medal and 349 the distinguished serviea cross, 1,237 were awarded the French Croix de Guerre and 15 the French Legion of Honor. Total Marine Corps casualties in France, the report showed, were 1 1,968. with 1,514 killed. STEADY EMPLOYERS Smith—Who are you working for now?

Rxbiubburo TELEGR^PS Labor Convention Looks Favorable Upon Plumb's Railroad Plan Cliicaso, Nov. 24. Glenn E. Plumb was enthusiastically received to-day by the National Labor Party convention when he presented his j plan for the nationalization of the railroads of the country. The first step in the adoption of his plan, he declared, was "to change the faces of our representatives in Congress." His method of control, he said, would reduce freight rates 40 per cent and thereby would help to reduce the high cost of living. The system wns defined by him as a prolit-saving rather than a profit sharing plan. Increased wages, he added, did not beneiit the wage earner if every raise resulted in higher prices for the necessities of life. He said that his plan was appli cable to every public utility and to every other industry in the coun try, and that the states could apply it to the public utilities. I* is ex pected that the convention will for mally endorse the plan. Sees "Moral Victory" in Senate Rejection of Peace Treaty Berlin, Saturday.
