The Marines Hymn.

From the halls Of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
OF United States marine.
From the pest hole OF Cavite
To the ditch at Panama,
You will find them very needy
OF martnes-thats what We are
We're the watch dogs Of a pile Of coal
Or we did a magazine.
Tho he lends a hand at every Job
Who would not be a marine?
our flags unfurled to every breeze
From dawn TO setting sun.
We have fought in every cline or
place
Where we could take gun;
In the snow OF far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the Job
The United States marines.
Here's health to you and to our corps
Which we are proud TO serve.
life
And never lost our nerve
II the army and the navy
Ever look on heavens scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
by
The United States marines.

Unity VIII Cure Strife.

Dear Editor-In these days OF the
great war cataclysm, when the very
foundations of our boasted twentieth
century civilization are being broken
to pieces, II is time to think how we
can help the cause OF peace.
In the first place, We have been
wrongly educated about life: we re-
gard It too lightly. We regard not
the sacredness of life. Had we been
taught the sacredness OF life and that
II was n theft OF the worst kind to
take what we can never give, we
would hesitate. and II would indeed
have TO be a righteous cause before
We would enter into wholesale
slaughter OF our fellow-man.
Then the tremendous idea of the
unity of life Is not realized. II there
is n spiritual unity. as Christianity
and all other great religions of the
world teach, is II not folly of the worst
kind for one part to kill the other
part? If we are indeed q part of
one great cosmic whole" then all
human beings are so actually united
that when one does an injury to an
other it must in the very nature of
