tt- EEPIXG the Hun on the run" is
one. of the popular slogans of
---'the United States Marines.
This branch of the fighting forces over
seas is among familiar sights along
the roads back of the front-line
trenches in France as the contingents
move up for service in the trenches, or
after serving a period return to rest
billets.
Military railroads have the right of
way on the western front so a ruined
house was not allowed to block the line.
The engineers pierced both walls of a
house, arched them over and now the
cars filled - with troops run right
through the house on the way to the
front lines.
TJncle Sam has scattered high-powered
scintillators along the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. With a marine at
the head of each one of these search
lights it will be practically impossible
for anything foreign to pass our
shores at night undetected. The crews
of these batteries are put through a
strenuous course of training in this
sort of work and know the minute an
alarm is sounded Just what to i.Q.
American boys throughout the United
States in preparation for service abroad
are given a thorough training before
they are sent overseas. Proof of that
is shown by the splendid manner in
which they are successfully driving
back the Hun. Underground artillery
telephone stations, replicas of work in
the trenches abroad, are used for drill
ing the men.
;
American soldiers are constantly be
ing honored by the French populace.
Parades form the greater part of the
ovations held in their honor. Charm
ing damsels presented the soldiers
roses. . Flowers were showered upon
the American soldiers who won glory
at Cantigny and Chateau Thierry.
The mosquito tanks, as they are
called, are the latest French creation.
They are designed primarily to be light
and swift in their actions, and are being
used almost exclusively by the French
army for assault purposes. The Kol
nische Zeitung declares that the French
have used S00 of these small 'fly"
tanks in their counter-offensive. From
the results attained by the French in
the fighting of the past two weeks, it
is self-evident that the tanks have
proved to be most effective.
The Harvard, formerly an American
yacht, has been transformed into a
patrol boat. In the stern of the boat
depth bombs are carried, ready to be
released at a second's notice. It is
these bombs that have proved so ef-1
fective against the Hun U-boat.
Our airmen training abroad wear the
cap that is the distinctive feature of
the uniform of the British Royal Fly
ing Corps. Young American college
men attached to the aviation section
wear the Flying Corps cap while re
ceiving instruction. They are part of
an American air squadron in training
in Great Britain.
