MARINES BREAK GAMP IN GAPITAL 3,500 Troops Leave Wash- ington to Re-Enact Civil War Engagement. With the next three weeks and Detter of hard work ahead of them the 3,500 members of the Marine “Expeditionary Force broke camp early this morning at 6 o'clock and took up the march. The appearance of sunshine increased thelr ardor to the nth degree. ‘The first element to move off was the motor transportation column, which was immediately followed by the 5th Marine Infantry. Leaving Po- tomac Park, the line of march led across 14th street, west along the north side of the Tidal Basin to 17th and B streets. From that point the various units proceeded up B street to Virginia avenue, thence to 21st street, and out 21st street to Massachusetts avenue and out Massa- chusetts to Wisconsin, where the artillery untis joined them, coming from the Virginia side of the Key Bridge. At the Maryvland line they were met by the Maryland State police who escorted them en route. Halt at Farm Tonlght. Tonight's halt will be called at Corby's Farm, a short distance from Rockville, Md.. when a total distance of aboat 18 miles will have been covered. Gaithersburg had been previously ar- ranged for the Marines' camp for tomorrow night, but later it was de- cided to push on to Middlebrook, a short distance ahead. Ridgeville will be reached by Thursday, where a one night's stand will be made. Friday, however, when the Marines reach Frederick will mark a three-day | encampment. the itinerary having been planned for the corps to stop over Sat- urday and Sunday night as well. Monday night the Marines will eamp on the old Antietam battlefield, where they will remain for 12 days It was here, September 17, 1862, that Jee's army, having crossed the Po- tomac on its first invasion of the North, engaged with Gen. McClellan. More men were killed on that day than on any onme day of the Civil ‘War. The Union forces suffered 30,000 in actual losses, and Lee’s men Buffered anywhere from 3,000 to 5.000, the approximate figures having been undetermined. Following this Dattle, Lee retreated across the Po- tomac unopposed. With the best of Marine skill this ‘battle will be re-enacted, and, juds- ing from their work at Gettysburg two years ago, the sham affray will be a close reproduction in every way. Camp life at East Potomac Park yesterday and last night was not a Very pleasant one. The rain kept every one busy trying to keep dry. The Quantico Band, numbering 200 pieces, did, however, enliven the oc- casion. The temporary headquarters was besieged with visitors and hos- pitably received. Most of the festiv- ities planned for the Marines were forced to be abandoned, but thoughts of the coming march helped the esprit remarkably. Private In Killed. An unfortunate incident resulting in the death of one of their numbers oc- curred yesterday just as the Artillery column was leaving Quantico. Glenn R. Steenrod, a private with the avia- tion detachment, in charge of one of the heavy trucks, .was run over and almost instantly killed. He was rid- ing on the front end of a five-ton trailer when the coupling pin which attached it to the truck ahead worked loose. Steenrod bent forward to shove the pin in place while the truck was running at moderate speed and lost his balance. Falling to the concrete road the wheels of the trailer passed over him, crushing his skull and mangling him badly. He was hurried in an automo- bile to the Quantico Hospital, but died soon after admission. He was a resi- dent of Maplewood, Ohio, where his father, Homer V Steenrod, resides. ‘Wife Seeks Divorce. Suit for limited divorce was filed ‘with the District Supreme Court yes- terday by Mrs. Josephine L. Holland, now living with her mother and her baby at 717 H street, who charges that Albert E. Holland, a photographer, her husband, has told her she is “too old- fashioned” and has often refused to speak to her for days at a time. ion Bookcase, Desks, ‘Wardrobes, Work Tables, Music SOCIET hth Page.)

Carter, Govern- ment Printing Office members of the Typographical Union, it was an- nounced today, will submit a counter- proposal asking a straight wage scale of $1.05 per hour. A previous request by them for a scale of $1.10 per hour was rejected by Public Printer Car- ter, who made a substitute proposal of a sliding scale ranging from 90 cents per hour for hand section em- ployes to $1.16 for other branches of the craft. The decision to submit the new proposal was reached after a pro- tracted debate by the committee up- pointed by the union to confer with the public printer on the wage scale. A number of points in the proposal of Mr. Carter, accompanying the slid- ing scale program, were announced as acceptable to the majority of the committee, while other points were voted down. The report of the sen- timent of the committee on each point will be transmitted to the pub- lic printer with recommendations for the new scale. Births Reported.
