MARINES GREETED

I'
[ bled in Frederick Pays
Visit to Camp.
Pi.patrh to Tha BUr.
i FREDERICK, Md„ September I.—A
throng pronounced by observers to be
the larßest crowd ever assembled in
this old historic town came to Frede
rick yesterday to visit the camp of
the Marine Corps Expeditionary Force
hi the County Fair Orounds. From
ihortly after daylight to long past
iiusk automobiles and carriages
poured into this city by every road
and highway and from reville to taps
the marine camp was alive with visi
tors and parking space in its vicinity
was at a premium.
• So great was the demand for places
to park cars of visiting parties that
Shortly after noon Brig. Den. Dion
Williams, commanding general of the
force, ordered a field which had been
tssigned to a unit of the marine
artillery to be turned over to the pub
lic as an official parking sp&ce, and
one time more than 2.200 cars were
Counted within this space, bearing
licenses from nearly every State In
the I'nion. In all it is estimated that
bi the neighborhood of 50,000 guests
visited the camp during the day.
War Equipment on View,
In preparation for the throng of
guests Gen. Williams had issued
Orders that a sample of every weapon*
and type of implement of war in the
equipment of the sea soldiers be pre
pared for the inspection of the crowd
and that a corps of well educated of
ferers and men. able to explain the
workings of each be designated as
guides and exhibitors. This feature
proved extremely popular with the
visitors and knots of spectators re
gained grouped around each exhibit
all through the day, necessitating
frequent reliefs of the officers and i
Dien doing the explaining. Included 1
In the exhibits were French 755,
with which the light artillery arm
Cff the marine force Is equipped; huge
|sss. throwing 100-pound shells,
Which supply the heavy artillery;
trench mortars, light and heavy ma
th ine guns, automatic rifles, hand and j
title grenades, anti-aircraft cannon
and machine guns, searchlights,
tanks, engineer equipment and air
planes of ail types, ranging from
huge Martin bombers, capable of car
tying more than a ton of high ex
plosives, to tiny fust fighting ma
chines with a speed of more than a
hundred miles.
; Military Tartlcs Explained.
- Talks on tactics were also given
explanations made of the train
pig and preparations which go to
piake the marine expeditionary force
the most efficient military organiza-
Oon maintained by any nation of the
World during times of peace, capable
of putting a fully-equipped reinforced
brigade with all arms of the service
•Jn the firing line or on board a trans
port ready so start for the scene of
Action within twelve hours. Talks
llso were given on the training of
sjbldiers and attention drawn to the
wise with which the marine force
makes marches of the greatest length.
Tfhus far on the present maneuvers
Che force has averaged nearly fifteen
miles a day. while ten miles is con
sidered a good distance for a force
of thi s size and character of equip
ment. This was illustrated by many
instances drawn from history, such as
the historic forced march of Jackson's
force in the Antietam campaign of
the Civil War, when historians re
corded with amazement his feat in
covering thirteen miles within twen
ty-four hours. After passing through
tjie marine camp, many of the guests
expressed themselves as having a
Comprehension of military tactics and
problems and a realization of the
Value of national preparedness be

Success of the dances held last night.
