MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT

IL 1t Is necessary for the service of
protection Of the American flag and of
the upholding of the rights of American
people.
The Marine corps Is curious In wny

yet in way its organization is that

brigadier generals. Then. like the
army, 1t has Its colonels, its lieutenant
colonels, Its majors, and Its captains.

men for its Marine corps. 1t hopes that
it will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks of the selective service
army the men needed to complete the
complement Of the soldier-snilOr organ
ization, 1t wants volunteers. The at
fractions of service In the marines are
many. There are chances, and good
ones, for the enlisted men to be rec
commended for student course at An
napolis, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
ceive commission either in the Ma
ripe corps or In the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion Of
noncommissioned officers to warrant
rank in the grades of marine gunners
and auartermasters clerk. Such on
GERS receive from SLIPS to $500 a
year, and are entitled to the same
privileges of retirement as warrant
officers In the navy. q
There Is chance for marines to
make money In addition to tlvir pay.
Mess stewards, mess sergeants, mess
men, clerks, and men assigned to avia-
tion duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to $15 per month In addi-
tion to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who

The United States today Is at war.
The government officials are looking
to the young men Of the country to
