GEORGE AP Newsfeatures Writer WASH1NGTON-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 western power had spent a night on Korean soil. -. The battle followed the alleged treacherous firing by Korean sol diers ou an American party sur veying the river. Asiatic Fleet Admiral John J. Rodgers had ob tained permission from Korean au thorities to make navigation sound ings For several years prior to the Salee river fracas Koreans report edly had mistreated American sailors and others shipwrecked on Korean shores. Some Americans were said to have been killed. How Situation Developed In the spring of 1871 the Unite! States . Minister to China, Fred erick Low, arranged a conference with Korean authorities looking to the protection of American citizens. Low enlisted the services of the Asiatic fleet, then in Japa nese waters. Low boarded Adm. Rodgers' flagship, the Colorado, and the squadron arrived off Salee river anchorage late in May. After an exchange of apparently friendly- visits between Koreans and Ameri- cans, the river surveying expedi tion was launched. The surveying party was sud denly fired upon from the Korean forts and the beach. American gunboats steamed into action, re turning the fire and rescuing the surveyors. Low and Rodgers demanded an explanation and reparations. The Koreans failing to give a satis factory 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 dlcneed by fire from the American vessels. The follow ing day a Marine battalion and a detachment of sailors, led by Capt. McLane Tilton, stormed and cap tured 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' first battle was during a raid on New Providence in the Ba hamas on March 2, 1776. The first fighting by U. S. Ma rines in the Far East took place on Sumatra, Feb. 7, 1832 r inn a.uniiiinw. mir w-wmhki pnwj.1 l iimi p iiniiHM Mil., 9 iiwiMryi .

The Marine Credo The Marines pride themselves, as being the possessors to a high degree of three military assets. These are their traditional fighting spirit, specialized skill in amphib ious operations and constant state of readiness. Maj. Gen. M. H. Silver! horn, di rector of the Marine Reserve, said recently "the Marine corps does not aspire to have a second land army." "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 strinking forces on short notice forces which could will be of vital importance in the period of tension immediately pre ceding a war or In the early stages of a war when the country Is not yet fully mobilized."
