PRIVATE CARRAWAY OF RHEMS Among the ''First to Fight" in France with the United States Marines. Among the specially selected men who are to be first to fight for the Stars and Stripes on the firing line in France is Thpmas J Carraway, a private of the 47th company. He has gone with the regiment of U S marines which forms a part of the first American overseas contingent. Private Can-away, who is the son of Mr T M Carraway of Rhems, enlisted in the United States marine corps at its Atlanta recruiting station July 10, 1915. The "soldiers of the sea" are the oldest branch of our military service,and they have a splendid record. Their activities date back to 1775, and since that time ithey have been first to fight for America in many countries. Th^ local boy has already proven his mettle and will doubtless continue to uphold the motto of the marines?"Always faithful."
