American's Life
Span Increases
With Every Year
NEW YORK, N. ¥.—The ratio
of elders to those at the main
working years of life has doubled
in the United States during the
past century, and has increased by
nearly two thirds since 1900, ac-
cording to the statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany. 5
One hundred years ago there
were only about 6 persons at age
65 ©or older for each 100 of the
population at 20 to 64. By 1900
the ratio had climbed to 8, and
since then it has risen even more
rapidly and is now 13,
Although the segment of the
population at 65 or over has been
increasing, the statisticlans note
that the relative importance of
the dependent population as a
whole has declined, due to a rapid
drop in the ratio of children to the
population at the main productive
ages. The number of children un
der 18 gr 100 persons at ages 20-
64 has been cut in half, from 107
in 1880 to about 54 in 1950.
In wery recent years, however,
due to the war and postwar spurt
in the birth rate, this trend has
been reversed and the child popu
lation has increased at a more
rapid rate than people at ages 20-
64. This will continue for at least
& decade, the statisticians predict,
ween if allowance is made for a
steady decline in the birth rate
from its present level, and at the
same time the population at the
older ages will continue its long
term mpward climb.
“As a result, we are entering a
period when the country will have
to prowide for the expanding so
cial smd economic heeds of both
its large child and aged popula
tions, each growing at a faster
rate than the population at' the
main working ages,” the statisti
cians point out.

THE FIRST MARINES went into action in 1776.
BY ALEXANDER R. GEQRGE
AP Newsfeatures Writer
WASHINGTON — U. S. Marines
on their way from the west coast
to the Battle of Korea will not be
the first Leathernecks to fight on
Korean soil.
Seventy-nine years ago a battal
ion of Marines, with the support of
ships and sailors of the Asiatic
fleet, won the two-day Battle of
the Salee River Forts. It was the
first time that soldiers of a west
ern power had spent a night on
Korean soil.
The battle followed the alleged
treacherrous firing by Korean sol
diers on an American party sur
veying the river, Asiatic Fleet Ad-
miral John J. Rodgers had obtain
ed permission from Korean au
thorities to make navigation
soundings.
For several years prior to the
Salee river fracas Koreans report
tedly had mistreated American
sailors and cthers shipwrecked on
Korean shores. Some Americans
‘were said to have been killed.
How Situation Developed
In the spring of 1871 the United
‘States Minister to China, Fred
erick Low, arranged a conference
with Korean authorities looking
to the protection of American citi
zens, Low enlisted the services of
the Asiatic fleet, then in Japanese

MODERN MARINES are a
waters,
Low boarded Adm. Rodges’
flagship, the Colorado, and the
squadron arrived off Salee river
anchorage late in May. After an
exchange of apparently friendly
visits between Koreans z:nd Amer
icans, the river surveying expe
dition was launched.
The surveying party was sud
denly fired upon irom the Korean
forts and the beach. American
gunboats steamed into action re
turning the fire and rescuing the
surveyors. il
Low and Rodgers demanded an
explanation and reparations. The
Koreans failing to %ive a satisfac
tory answer in 10 days, an expe
dition of gunboats with a Marine
landing party and seven field
pieces sailed up the river.
The guns of the three Korean
forts were silenced by fire from
the Amerjcan vessel. The follow
ing day 4 Marine batjalion and a
detachment off sailors, led by
Capt. McLane 'l‘ilton, stormed and
captured the forts.
Marines’ 100th Battle
The Salee river engagement was
the 100th battle in which units of
the Marine Corps, established in
1775, had participated. The Ma
rines in the Far East took place
raid on New Providence in the
Bahamas on March 2, 1776.
The first fitghting by U. S. Ma
rines in the Far East took places
on Sumatra, Feb. 7, 1832. Some
250 Marines and sailors defeated
a band of Malay pirates in the
Battle of Quallo Batoo.
The Leathernecks’ first fighting
in China was at the Battle of
Shanghai in April, 1854. American
and British Marines drove off
Chinese Imperialist forces which
had encroached on the foreign set
tlement in Shanghai.
How the Corps Grew
In the Spanish-American war
the Marine corps had a force of
only 75 officers and 2,000 eniisted
men. When the United States en
tered World War I the Marines
had 511 officers and 13,000 men,
but during that war more than
31,000 Marines were sent overseas
for service in the A. E. F.
‘When the Nazis overran France
in the swmmer of 1940 the Marines
had an active force of about 28,-

000. By the time of the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7,
1941, volunteer enlistments had
increased Marine strength to
66,000. "
The corps now has an active
force of 74,000 and a reserve of
about 90,000. Its peak strength in
World War 11, when it engaged in
about 37 major campaigns and
battles in the Pacific, was 486,000.
The Marine Credo
The Marines pride themselves
as being the possessors to a high
degree of three military assets.
These are their traditional fight
ing spirit, specialized skill in am
phibious operations and constant
state or readiness.
Maj. Gen. M. H. Silverthorn,
director of the Marine Reserve,
said recently “the Marine corps
does not aspire to have a second
land army.” St
“It is the readiness of the Fleet
Marine Forces rather than their
size which is the important con
sideration,” he said. “They are
capable of providing moderate
sized amphibious striking forces
on short notice—forces which
which could well be of vital im=
portance in the period of tension
immediately preceding a war or
in the early stages of a war when
the country is not yet fully mo
bilized.”
The head of the sperm whale,
largest of the toother whales, is
one-third the animal’s total
length.
Paper making was introduced
into Europe by the Moors and
cotton-fibre paper was first made
in Spain about the 11th Century.
The atomic research city of Los
Alamos, New Mexico, now has a
population of round 10,000, though
it was founded only in 1942.
First step to establish the Ma
rine Corps was on November 10,
1775, when the Continent? Con
gress authorized two battalions.
