get out OF Jail at Easton, Pa. and
become fighter for Uncle Sam in
the ranks of the United States mar

letter addressed to the marine re-
cruiting station in this city
Amandus wrote several pages in
his patriotic outburst, and promised
to use his influence to awaken his
fellow prisoners to the call of the
flag. if the marines would only come
and get him out. Although the
young man claims to be a good

pals must languish in prison while
the marine corps remains heartless
but uncontaminated.
