Colonel C. M. Perkins. United States Marine
Corps, tn command marine barracks on Pu
cruet Sound, in reply to an inquiry from
President Suzzallo. of the Vniversity of
Vahin;ton, as to the advisability of adding
department for the training of future
Marine Corps reserve officers to the prnt
military course at the University of Wash

United States ilarine Corps.
The essential characteristic of the
Marine Corps lies half way between the
land and sea forces of the Nation and
partakes of both a mobile force ca
pable of blending and amalgamating
with either. Its scope covers the
spheres of both and is represented by
its emblem, the plobe. The marine is
the only soldier trained to perform, in
telligently, duties either on land or
eea, and his officer, accordingly, is the
only commissioned officer of any
branch of the armed services of the
country legally authorized to exercise
command, by virture of his seniority,
over combined arms of both services
when operating together on shore. The
detachments of the Army and Navy, if
engaged in the same mission under
their respective officers, not being fus
ible in one homogenous body under
command of a single superior officer,
no officer of either arm can give orders
to both, unless that officer happens to
be a marine officer.
This unique characteristic of the ma
rine is forcibly expressed by the strik
ink lines of Kipling's "Soldier and
Sailor, Too":
Tou're apt to find Mm all over the . world,
a-doin' all kinds o things.
Like lamlin' 'isself with a gatling gun to

The division of the labor of fightihs
and the theory of the employment of
uch divisions make up the science of
war. The handy man of such a science,
the working tool a two-edged work
ing tool of this craft, convertible. In
stantly, at the pleasure of the master
workman, is the marine.
The distinct line of cleavage between
the two schools of this fighting ele
ment, the great branches of the two
grand divisions of combatants, falls at
the shore line of the ocean the sea
coast. Neither is welcome, nor entire

this Adv,
fectly with either and amalgamates Into
both. It serves the Navy in a military
and quasi-military way, and sometimes
serves the Army in a quasi-naval way.
Specifically, marines do duty aboard
ship and at Navy yards, assist in man
ning great guns of the ships' batteries,
their boats, etc., and always form the
nucleus of the landing force with small
arms or artillery on shore. Its most
important duty with the Navy itself is
ts so-called advance base service. It is
he "avant courier" of threatened hos
tilities in all parts of the world, civil
ized or uhcivilizzed, or, again, as Kip
ling expresses it:
They preach in ' advance ef the army.
They skirmish ahead of the church.
The Marine Corps serves the Army as
the mobile advance-guard for overseas
expeditions, in which it is assisted by
the Navy. It may man the forts and
coast fortifications.
In order that the Marine Corps may
work with the best understanding and
to the best advantage with these two
non-assimilable services, it should- be
indoctrinated from both, to become in
stantly transformable or controvertible.
This uniformity of education should be
so thoroughly inculcated and absorbed
that it may percolate every fiber, so
there will be uniformity of action in
every grade, even to the private's tech
nique of guard duty, thus insuring har
mony of action and cohesion in either
branch with which the Marine Corps
is called upon to blend. A Marine to be
efficient must be all that the name im
plies, a "Sea Soldier."
The Marine Corps la primarily a part
of the Navy of It. but a thing apart
so that, when occasion demands, (as
it has so often in every war or emerg
ency where the Army is called upon to
take the field) the marines can be im
mediately available and ready to join
their land brothers. To perform his
navai duties well requires him to be
more than a land soldier: he must know
the life of the sea, the fighting habits
of the sailor the illustrious traditions
of the Navy, what the sailor can do
and what he must do in short, he must
Sleep In a 'ammick insti'd of a cot and drill
with the decks on a slew
'E must be a bloomin' cosmopolouse, "Sol
dier and Sailor, too;"
and there Is but one way to learn all
this by daily lessons aboard the ships
or the battle line, and by careful pre
paratory instruction in. conjunction
with a naval training school or station.
Hence, if the Marine is to act well
his part in the drama of naval warfare,
and hold the base for protection of the
oil and coal and other supplies of the
battleship fleet in the face of the de
termined attacks of an aggressive en
emy, he must receive the essential part
of his training and education in the
Navy; that is, aboard the ships and in
the schools of the Navy, and his pre
paratory instruction near deep water
in such an institution as the contem
plated adjunct to the volunteer naval
training station- established as an auxil
iary to the University of Washington,
supplemented by what the curriculum
of that institution affords along gener
al scientific lines of liberal education.
And, if the young prospective Marine -
officer learns the lesson well and is
helped to learn it by active co-opera
tion with the other integral parts of
the greater Nary the hydrographlc,
aviation and other scientific specialized
branches he will be ready to "do his
bit" when, on some distant isle, sur
rounded by the raiding ships of the en
emy, or on the bleak hills overlooking
an enemy's harbor and hard pressed
by the shore forces of a brave and per
sistent foe, he holds the rough line of
defenses that guard the fuel, ammuni
tion and food vital supplies for his
country's fleet the advance base of
"the Nation's first line of defense."
There is, in the Marine Corps, a vast
amount of uncorelated information and
experience on the subjects of expedi
tionary service and advance base work,
but this is not available to those who
have not actually been engaged in those
affairs.
A tentative outline of the curriculum
of a Marine Corps course might be as
follows:
1. Military science department: (1) Dif
ferentlon between strategy, tactics, logistics.
2) Place of the Marine Corps in strategic
scheme. .1 Military history; study of clas
sical campaigns, Marine Corps traditions.
'J, .Department of military art: tl Tac
tical" problems looking to' normal service
with Army in the field. (2) Minor land
operations peculiar to Marine Corps em
ployment, such as recent West Indian af
fair. (H) Tactics of the advanced base.
:t. Cartological department; 1) Map
making and reading. (2j . Photography.
4. Field engineering.
.r.. Mines and torpedoes.
0. ordnance and gunnery: (a) Construc
tion., b) Ballistics.
T. J.aw: 1 International law. (2) Naval
and military law. (a) Procedure, tb) Law
of evidence, to Criminal law and crim
inology. 5. Administration (H Organisation. 2)
Tacticel staff. .! Logistical staff.
!. Physics and chemistry. fl Chemical
processes. Physics. a Electricity. b
Optics.
The staff for such a course might
consist of one or more officers, quali
fied by special experience of study, and
of civilian specialists, as at the exist
ing university. The method of instruc
tion should be by means of lectures,
problems, and practical work. The

ranks. Before the first draft was made
he enlisted in the Oregon Naval Militia.,
but was later discharged because ot
physical disability. A short time later
he underwent an operati"n at a local

local and outside capitalists, for Reeds

Reedsport is for an up-to-date hotel.
Many transients visit that new city and
the accommodations now afforded are
not of the class the city believes it

Jack Lasaon,
Jack Lannon, president of the
Greater Features Company, dis
tributing some of the biggest
moving picture features in the
United States, was a recent vis
itor in Portland as the guest of
J. J. Parker, managing owner of
the Majestio Theater. Mr. Lan
non was treated to the customary
ride out on the Highway and his
short stay made eventful by the
Portland -film fraternity.
His mission here was to place
in the local theaters some of the
biggest film attractions that have
ever been sent West. Among his
pictures soon to show here is
"The Mormon Maid." founded on
Paul West's famous story. This
is a vivid portrayal of Mormon
life in the days of Joseph Kmith.
The picture will show at the
Majestic Theater soon. Other
film masterpieces controlled by
Mr. Lannon in this territory are:
"The Conquest of Canaan," re
cently shown at the Columbia;
"The Witching Hour." "Where
Are My Children?" and a film
version of Dante's "Inferno."
Mr. Lannon's productions are
not confined to dramas, however,
for he is distributing the famous
comedies made by Al Christie in
L.03 Angeles.
"LITTLE OLD CROESUS" NOT IN
McADOO'S CLASS, AS SPENDER
Secretary of United States Treasury Prepares to Spend Eighteen Billion
Dollars in Next Nine Months.
PORTLAND entertained ror a day
during the past week the biggest
spender, not only in the world to
day, but in all history.
He is W. G. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, who announced while
here that the country must find him
1 18,000,000.000 to spend between now
and next Juus.
No other country has ever contem
plated even an approach-to. that huge
sum in anywhere near a like period.
Two billion dollars a month for nine
months is so colossal that the human
mind cannot grasp its significance.
Put succinctly, it may be said there
have been, roughly speaking, approxi
mately 1,000,000,000 minutes since the
birth of Christ.
Besides all other expenditures that
have gone before in the history of the
whole world for anywhere near a like
period, the war budget for this year,
mapped out by the United States Gov
ernment, overshadows everything.
And Secretary McAdoo is charged
with the responsibility of spending it
all. It is a feat unparalleled in all the
history of humankind, and should fur-
ish thrills if one enjoyed the sensa
tion of spending money without limit.
All Other Spenders Outdone.
Croesus was a piker compared with
Mr. McAdoo. Unless he gets writer's
cramp from signing checks, he is ex
pected to accomplish the unique task
before him, and when he does he will
know that never before has a human
being even approached his record for
spending.
When It comes to spending real
money In sums that make the statisti
cians dizzy. Secretary McAdoo will ac
complish stunts that paupers have
dreamed of, but no one has ever been
bold enough even to speculate on such
disbursements. No Action writer has
dared to use such figures, even for the
purposes of making light Summer va
cation reading.
Brewster with his millions was a
poverty-stricken wretch compared with
the head of the United States Treasury
Department.
The greatest sum ever to be col
lected in the history of the world, In a
year or anywhere near It, and to be
spent by Secretary McAdoo in the next
nine months, is greater than the total
expenditures of Germany in more than
three years of war.'
Germany is now raising its seventh
war loan, the six preceding it having
aggregated about ? 14,000,000,000.
Secretary Is Only Started.
Secretary McAdoo has already spent
money in a way that would make the
proverbial sailor ashore for a holiday
look like a stingy old -miser. But he
has only made a beginning on what Is
to follow.
He signed a, single check for $23,000,
000 that was the purchase price of tho
Danish West Indies earlier this year.
Later, when Russia got in a serious
hole, he signed another check for $100,
000,000 and sent it along to Russia.
Other allies sent commissions to this
country, and they made a habit of
saluting- the United States Treasury
before they left, and they did not go
away empty handed, either. Large sums.
Intrinsically, were handed over the
counter to these commissions by the
altable Secretary.
But these expenditures were mere
"pin money" compared to what is to
follow.
During the three years and more of
the war Great Britain has spent ap
proximately $23,000,000,000. About $5.
000.000,000 of this has been advanced
to the allies.
The loans of other countries for war
purposes are smaller, and, altogether.
probably do not exceed the total of
Croat
cjtnte
qtnte as great in proportion to their
wealth.
Some statistician has figured recently
that the total cost of the expedition
managed by Columbus that resulted In
the discovery of America 425 years ago,
for which Queen Isabella pawned cer
tain nicknack3 from her dressing table,
was but $7000.
So, in view of the current budget,
that meager investment may be said to
have been a reasonably sound one.

If it were not for originality, ingenuity and ambition in the human mind
there would be little progress made and medicine, dentistry and ether
' sciences would be taught and practiced today as they were a hundred
years ago.
The man who progresses Is the man who steps out of the beaten path,
pushes theories to one side, upsets ideas, notions and traditions, and by
native ability and bulldog persistence does the seemingly impossible
and makes people sit up and take notice.
Years and years ago I found
from my own laboratory experience that the cost of making srold
crowns, bridgework, inlays, etc., could be cut in half (without sacrific
ing material or workmanship) by specialising, systematizing and cen
tralizing the process and I upset the Idea that good dental work must
be high priced by giving as good or better work for half the prices
charged by most dentists.
I felt that It was right for me to cut dental prices in half and to
eliminate unnecessary pain in dental operation jt was right for me to
advertise these facts so that people who were putting off necessary
dental work because of fear or lack of means might avail themselves
of the new order of things.
These are some of the "ideas" I have upset and though I have brought
down upon my head the wrath of some of my ethical brethren who have
been "hurt" financially I content myself with the gratitude of the
thousands who have been "helped," both financially and physically, elnce
I opened my offices in this city.
