one of The sights that stirs mems

the fairest and most inspiring that

beautiful banner OF the cross. Let
us keep our eyes on our ensign, lest
we faint in the struggle. and let Us
never forget that our standard is
the symbol OF orr salvation and Of

In the fight OF faith &c would

than the grace OF God arrayed on
our side, for We have 10 battle not

What you'd be said OF the soldier

Is that any more vain and foolish

CAPT. MORRISON
OFF FOR WAR ZONE;
is GIVEN WATCH

When Capt Victor |. Morrison
left Detroit Tuesday afternoon for
the war zone he carried with him a
nice little octagonal gold watch, the
gift OF the men who have been in
the Marine Corps recruiting office
under him for several months.
Capt Morrison came to Detroit re-

He wasn't much good as a fighter
because he packed around with him
a number Of bullets, each OF which
weighed an ounce or so--little SOU
venirs he picked up while putting
down some outlaws somewhere in
South America.
In Detroit he made a fine record,
but he wanted TO get into action

he limped. smoked cigarettes and
talked a lot OF slang
The nice little old lady actually
cried when Mai Phelps said he
wanted hghters and not mantle

Between her tears she admitted
that the young man who wouldn't
do was her son. The others she
claimed 10 have enlisted were
neighbor boys who would have found
their way to the recruiting Office
anyway.
