What Did He Mean?

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley Of the Tombs prison
was perfectly contented warden, says
q New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that man with a frock coat and a
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour Of the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: "Thirty
years ago my father, who was Of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as heat denunciator in
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for a considerable time, he
told no one. However, it was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that a man would delib-
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? I ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use it for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. I leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading It
through for the ninety-third time.

MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT

if 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 La curious In way

its ranks than an army division, and
yet In a way it's organisation is that
Of regiment, although it has a ma
jor general commandant and several
brigadier generals. Then. like the
army, 1t has its colonels, it's lieutenant
colonels, its majors, and its captains.
The Marine corps, big as it is, with
It's 10000 men in war time, keeps Pc
culiar organization, because its fight
ers necessarily are divided into COM
paratively small detachments.
Under the command Of Colonel Doy-
en- Of the Marine corps 1000 soldiers
Of the sea soon will be in the trenches
In France. These men, it has been
announced, we're added to the prelim-
mary force which it is intended to
send into France because the govern
ment recognized the right of marines
to live up to the meaning Of their war
time slogan, 'First in the Fight"
Men Needed for Marines.
The United States government wants
men for it's Marine corps. It hopes that
it will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks of the selective service
army the men needed to complete the
80
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
ceive a commission either in the Ma
rine 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 Quartermaster's clerk. Such off,
GERS receive from 1925 to $4,000 q
year, and are entitled to the same
privileges of retirement as warrant
officers in the navy.
There is a chance for marines to
make money in addition to their pay.
Mess stewards, mess sergeants, mess
men, clerks, and men assigned to avia-
ton duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to $16 per month in addi-
ton to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who
qualify as expert riflemen, as marks
men and as sharpshooters.
The Marine corps is the oldest army
service Of the United States, having
been organized before the army and
the navy. Every man who enters it Is
given his food, his clothing, his lodg-
ing, and his medical attendance.
The country needs volunteer ma
rines for service that is First at
the Front and Always Faithful.

MOTTO: ALWAYS FAITHFUL ~
The Recruit Entering Service Today ls
Paid $50 Month and the Opportu-
mites for Advancement Are
Numerous.
By EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington.-"First in the Fight" is
the wartime slogan Of the United
States marines, while "Semper FL
delis," always Faithful" is their
motto in peace and war.
So 1t would seem that If good works,
coupled with faith, secure mans sal
walton, there must be some reason as
we'll as rhyme in the last four lines Of
the Marine corps hymn.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heavens scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an
increase in the number of his marines
to a war strength Of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1000 more
men than there are in a division Of
troops of the United States army.
There is room in the marines, there
fore, for any stalwart young Ameri-
can between the ages Of eighteen and
thirty-five who wishes to be q soldier
and a sailor in one, to be first in the
fight, and to be able to prove that he
is always faithful to the ideals Of hui
manity and the ideals Of his country.
In the present war the American be-
lief Is that the two are one.
When congress recently increased
the pay Of the army 1t also increased
the pay Of the navy and Of the Ma
rine corps. The recruit today who en-
ters the Marine corps will receive $50
month pay, an increase Of SIS over
the pay in the more or less piping
times of peace. More than this, If he
goes to sea, which unquestionably will
be his lot, he will receive 20 per cent
additional, and it Is generally account
ed that in this war time the 20 per
cent increase will be continued while
the marine Is on land in a foreign
country holding up his end for the
United States.
What Is the marine? This is one Of
the questions in a little catechism is
sued by the officials Of the corps. The
answer is that the marine is soldier
Of the sea.
The marine Is a soldier and a sailor,
and yet he is neither. He is sort Of
two-fisted fighting rover. He goes
everywhere by land or by sea to the
last outpost Of civilization and beyond

Rate Of Pay In Navy.
The law increasing the pay Of the
men In the navy has just been enacted
and the pay tables under the new dis
pensation have not yet been made out,
but it is simple thing to determine
the rate of pay of each seaman Of
whatever class by adding to the pay
given In the accompanying table the
amount of increase in each case. The
increased pay allotment has just gone
into effect. Below Is given the navy
wage table, with the pay as it stood
prior to the recent act Of congress. In
order to know what each mans pay
now Is, 1t is only necessary to know
that every man now drawing less than
$21 month will receive an increase Of
$15 month; that every man drawing
at present from $22 to $24 month, in
elusive, will receive $12 a month addi-
tonal; that every man drawing more
than $24 and less than $45, will receive
50 month additional, and that every
man drawing at present $45 or more
a month will receive Sc a month addi-
tional pay.
1t should be borne in mind that the
apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy
recruit, who ordinarily gets $176O a
month, will be receiving at the time
that this is read $15 additional, max
ing his pay $92.6O.
Here is the pay table as it stands
today regardless Of the increases which
congress has ordained:
