Leader. Clark Wood, was a Press office
caller Tuesday evening. While Mr.
Wood is endowed with an air of tim
idity he is a man to be feared; hut
after his eyes had become accustmcd
to our uncertain light over here, and
he had extended his hand with an em
phatic degree of cordiality, at the same
time striking our horse editor for a
chew of the luscious weed, the Press
man was more at ease.
Proud Record of Marines.
As the first battle of the Amerlcau
navy was fought atld won by the
marines, so, down through the years
of the Revolutionary war, we find the
murines at the forefront when difficult
work was to be done. In fact there
were but few expeditions In which
they did not figure In more or less
strength. Thus Lieutenant Walllng
ford of the marines died at the head
of his men under John Paul Jones in
the battle between the Hunger and the
Drake; and In the classic fight be
tween the Bon Homme Richard under
Paul Jones and the Serupis, the
marines lost 40 out of 137 men.
