Holding d'aitiM
They are now holding their L'uios

hautea'i Thierry to Vinlv. The ad
vance at its smallest Hiint was a lit
tle less than u mile; at its greatest
extent, where the marines drove
ahead regardless of their oh.jci'livcs
nnd captured the village of Torcy, it
represents a three-mile advance.
The victory is the most glorious
chapter in the history of the I'nited
States Marine corns. The "devil
dogs" have prided themselves on their
valor, and in their rccruitini; npenl
early in the war their officers laid
great strces on the fact that the ma
rines have, alwavs in American his

on Paris was to outflank thcin mirth,

"The (iennan," said the bulletin,
"has met and named the fighting

tack is the seini-circle drawn by the
enemy about the city of Kheims in
the recent offensive on the Aisne
fiont. The Kheims region comprised
the left flank of the (iennan attack,
(iroiind was given by the French on
both sides of the cathedral city, but
the town itself nnd the nearby pro
tecting forts were held ngninst the
(iennan onslaught nnd have since re
mained in French jmsscssion.
Kheims, however, was hemmed in
on three sides by the enemy and it
has been considered onlva question
of time when the (ierinans would
make a concerted movement to oust
its defenders.
The front ot the present attack,

of tho Marines. '4lie song that Inspired
the I'nited States marines when they
chased the (iermans hack on the
.Marne: I"
From the halls of Montozuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
We'll fight our country's battles
On tho land as on the sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun,
Wo havo fought in every clime or
piaco
Where we could take a gun;
In the 'snows of far-off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job
The 1'nltcd States Marines.
Here's heirtth to you and to our corps
Which we are proud to serve.
In many a strite we have fought for.
life
And never lost our nerve;
If the army and the navy
Fver look on heaven's scenes
They will find the stroets are guarded
By I'nited States Marines.

ous protest against iminedinte abso

house agricultural committee today
by Hainbridge Colby, member of the
shipping board, who declared if beer
were taken from the workmen the
output of American shipyards would
be reduced 25 per cent.
When senators championing prohi

Mr. Colby he declared he was not

the views of the men who are in touch
with the shipbuilding situation.
Shipbuilders, he said, see no barm
