RECORD OF IMA
As long ago as 18£.>. 1 nited
States Marines electrified the mili
tary world by embarking a full
battalion, complete with all neces
sary' stores, aboard a transport in
Jess than 24 hours. This was con
sidered an unprecedented seal m
those leisurely days Later thisj
force was ready to fight between
sunrise and sunset.
An amphibious American team
of ship-to-shore battle specialists
got its first test of conflict in the
war with Spam in 1898, when the
famous Huntingdon hattalion. cov
ered by the fire of the United
States ship Marblehead. landed at
Guantanamo in the face of Span
ish resistance.
This successful action secured
Guantanamo Bay for the navy, the
base from which Centra's Spanish
fleet was blockaded until the vic
tory of Santiago.
GAP IN INEXPERIENCE
The world war prov ided no np
nortunity for this branch of marine
forces to exercise its talents
But after the armistice, the
marine corps went back to its
training in amphibious warfare
The airplane was added to its
equipment for carrying out its
mission. Tanks and bigger, harder
hitting guns came.
The name of the marine ship-to
shore organization was changed,
first to the expeditionary force,
then to the fleet marine force, but
the specialization continued.
By the time of the Japanese
sneak-punch attack on Pearl Har
bor. these amphibious forces- had
increased in strength to two divi
sions, one on the Hast Coast at
Quantico and one at San Diego.
Cal. Now these land-sea leather
necks are putting their training
to a test on the Solomons.

LONDON. Aug. 17 (UP).—
American and British aviation
commanders were understood to-,
day to be conferring on the
assignment* for United States
Army Air Corps’ heavy bombers,
which many British critics con
tend. arc unsuited for bombirg
Germany.
Chief criticisms being advanced
against such American as
the “Flying Fortresses and Con-j
solidated Liberator R-'24s are:
1— Their bomb loads, of about
three tons, do not equal the
eight tons carried by British
bombers such as the Lancaster.
2— Their armor and armament !
are insufficient for night j
bombing over heavily defended !
Germany.
—Their speed does not match

SUGGEST TRADE
British authorities, realizing
that American bomber pilot* nr
Britain are itching for their first,
crack at mass raids on Gorman;

gesting that the American fliers
trade their Fortresses and Libera

The American planes would
