They Have Kept
The Standards High

The Marine Corps has long been
held to BE- almost,-indeed somewhat
-snobbish. But that, like their esprit,
has several shades of meaning. The
corps maintains that it is no disgrace
to be rejected by one Of their recruit
ing stations. Their standards have al
ways been designedly high, and kept
high by those men who have had their
baptism Of fire and had no wish to re-
duce their organized efficiency by the
admission of a poorer element.
Before the war the corps numbered
some 10000 men and $50 officers. All
Of the older officers are graduates of the
Naval Academy, and of late years the
younger have been picked from the
ranks on sheer, unvarnished merit
the kind of merit which shows up ire
mendously in so small and intimate
body of men. These ten thousand

ing stone, the rowing anecdote gathers

but one well credited tale which
touches upon the career Of Poe has a
veraciors ring.
1t is said that after his graduation
from Princeton, whose football team
he captained, Poe betook himself 70
the Spanish war in search of fighting.
Fighting he did not find in such abun-
dance as typhoid fever, which appealed
to him as both unwarlike and other.
Wise uncongenial. At the time of the
Goobel fracas in Kentucky. when thsrs
were wild tales of murder and sudden
death and promissory civil war, Poe
wandered Kentuckywards to investi-
gate. But it was quieter than rumor
told and he saw no fighting. Some

and pacific nature of the country, he
tried Colorado, where, he understood,
there was always something doing and
man who was bent on adventure and
gunpowder might find amusement. But
Colorado was in gentle mood and very
quiet. Poe despaired and was heard
of no more for a considerable period.
One day the commander of an Ameri-

duras received the startling message
that Colonel John Prentiss Poe, of the
rebel army of Honduras, then in throes
of an annual revolution, was in dire
predicament and desired to return to
his native land. The commander sent
ashore for the colonel and brought him
aboard, much the worse fer revolutions

Throughout the Civil War and in
Corca, in Egypt and Hawaii, in the
deserts of Abyssinia and among the
dense palmage Of Cuba, the marines
have left their imprint-gay hearted,
grave fighting, pleasure-loving and
businesslike. 1t is even whispered
that they have been beloved of their
enemies for the very cheer and boyish-
ness of their heroism and adventurous
ness.
Marine officers, amazingly modest as
to their own achievements and those
of their historic corps, speak Of esprit
and their men in one breath. In the
word esprit" only the Marine Corps
permits itself a glowing pride which
borders almost-but not quite!-upon
the vain. Other military organizations

Marine Corps knows to whom that

meaning, but to live and act it, until
it has become their own and is but
loaned to lesser bodies who seek vainly
after Their perfect state.

certainly! 1t is that--that sort of
spirit which animates something and

But the marine will smile and tell
you that the word esprit" as word
is like the Russian langu ge and has
six shades of meaning and that it isn't
a word anyway-it's the animating
genius Of the corps!
1t means the un ty between man and

the marine is the worlds fineot fight
