SOLDIERS OF THE SEA.
T J 1 13 week (if .Tunc 10 to to' Iims been jwinicd "Afaviiu
JL Cdi'iiw Vi"f'lv " si lid !i Kix'finl pffVii't will lir limilo nvrv
tin United States to recruit the marine eorps to war time
strength. Voun men who face the jiroliability of Koin- to
war hy selective draft, cannot do better than enlist for the
war with these "soldiers of the sea," whose servfr-e on
both land and wafer nil over the. world constitutes a liberal
education as well as the first line of defense.
The marine corps is a fine democratic body of men, pro
motion in which rests on actual merit, without the handi
cap of a hall-mark. .Marines are not a part of the arniv.
alt ho they perform military duty. Thev belong to the naval
service and perform soldier duty in the navy. They serve
on both land and sea, at home and abroad and each large!
warship carries a contingent, ready for any emergency.
The history of the marine corps is an honorable one.
Organized in 1775, it gallantly served thru the Revolu
tionary war and every other struggle in which the nation
has been involved. Jts members have been heroic, partici
pants in every expedition and action engaged in by the
government in every part of the globe. Whether it is a West
Indian riot, a Central American rebellion, a Chinese upris
ing, or an Armenian massacre, the marine is there protect
ing A mericans and restoring order. As Secretary Daniels
of the navy department sa3's:
There aro no better soldlerB in the world than those In the United States
marine corps, familiarly known aB soldiers of the sea. They have won their
placo by their splendid bearing, courage and bravery, always among the
first, and often tho first, to land whenever tho country needs trained arm
ed num. They have borne themselves In such a manner as to win complete
admiration and fullest confidence of tho American people.
Service In tho marine corps Is a badge of honor and promotion in tho
corps Mm be attained only by merit. In no other military Bervlco is promo
tion more certain to a man who demonstrates Ills capacity. Young men
with real American slufl, ready to serve In all parlB of tho world, on land
and Ben, will find In It a plain where they can serve their country In a way
to win its gratitude, with the opportunity of winning distinction for thom
Bolves. Four thousand recruits to 'the 'marine corps are need-,
ed at, once to bring the corps up to the strength lately au
thorized by congress. . It is hoped to enlist this number the
coming week. The generous cooperation and support of
patriotic organizations, business houses and citizens is re
quested by the government, in making successful this ex
traordinary recruiting effort.
THE REAL BATTLEGROUND.
TP IS NOT unlikely that those who are fighting the sa
loon may he fooled by "signs of victory" in the maps
showing dry territory.
Tutting the saloons out of business isn't a question of
merely capturing land areas. White "territory" shown on
prohibition maps usually reprcHcnits farm lands, while
black areas represent congested populations.
The problem of the saloon is intensely human it, has to
do with men and women, and most of those who live in un-
qncred territory live in cities which dp not cover much
land area.
Only about 20 per cent of the population in dry states
live in cities. Whereas in the wettest stales in this (outilry
itboiit,7o per cent live in the cities.
Oue-fourlli of all the people in the United States living
in wet territory live in six cities New York, Chicago, Phil
adelphia, St. Louis, lioston and Cleveland. One-half the
people in licensed terrilory live in four states Xew York
Pen nsylya nia, Jllinois and New Jersey.
The fight against the saloon had it's origin in the coun
try. It was the outgrowth of religious revivals. The farm
er of today inherits the hatred of his forefathers for the
saloon and he hits the saloon a solar-plexus blow everv
tune he gets a chance.
lint it's different in the city. The citv is (he slron-r-hold
ol the saloon. And those, who would' destroy the sa
,l(m wilMinve i dcrsland that they can't fight (he sa-

It is in the industrial city and state that the last, big bat
eon the liquor quest ion will be fought out. And it is here
hat the opposing forces are arraying themselves . In the
last analysis the working-men of (his country will say
whether the nation shall go "dry."
If is possible that tli institutional amendment for
which the anti-saloon forces are fighting will close the sa
loons ol the nation without the consent of the great masses
