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.

Berger Scores House
in His New Campaign
Milwaukee, Nov. 24.—Victor Ber
ger, Socialist candidate for Congress
in the Fifth district, announces in
his platform that he is "for repre
sentative government and against
the impertinent presumption of any
clique or party of the House of Rep
resentatives to dictate whom the dis
trict is to elect as the Representa
tive.'
He also favors free speech, free
press and free assemblage. He
would compel profiteers to pay for
the war; is for public ownership of
all utilities and demands the right
to use any language in churches and
schools.
He is against government by in
junction, prohibition, the espionage
act and interference in foreign af
fairs. He is for "an early, lasting
and democratic peace and against
President Wilson's alliance of inter
national capitalists to guarantee
I each other loot."

the dislodging of the flag from the
replica of the war memorial on the
Duuphin building, which is a model
of the memorial to be erected at

of the city's soldiers and sailors of

is the "pointer" on the barometer
flagpole which marks the progress
of the campaign for $70,000, which
is the amount needed to provide the
memorial.
The flag will be replaced, and will
continue to mark the steady progress
of the memorial fund toward its
goal of $70,000, commiteemen say.
In the meantime, subscriptions will
be registered on the books in the
Chamber offices headquarters of the
drive by Treasurer Stanley G. Jean,
to whom subscriptions and pledges
are payable.
The Y. M. C. A. has just paid ts
large subscripton, covering every
service man with $2O, making a
total of $1,200. Those whose names

Y. M. C. A. Gets Promise
of Support in Plans
For Thrift Week
New York, Nov. 24. —More than
300 city associations have sent word
to the campaign committee of the
Y. M. C. A.'s National Thrift Week
to be launched next January, that
the drive against the hight cost of
living will have their hearty co
operation. Evidence of a rapid
growth of sentiment in favor of the

these campaigns, begun in 1914, feel
that the 1920 thrift week is to he one
of the most successful since the work
was started.
The railroad associations have def
initely included the Y. M. C. A.
Thrift Week as a part of their an
nual program. There are more than
300 of these associations in the
United States. In more than 500 in
dustrial plants where *le Y. M. C.
A. has been established there will
be co-operation on the Dart of the
employers.

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.
