Since Secretary Baker favors uni
versal military training he should no
longer be classed as pacifist. We
trust however, he is not under the
domination of that German type of
militarist that infest Washington
City. Not one of this precious gang
has been touched by bullet or disease,
but the mothers of the land don't
want their sons to lie in FLANDERS
fields, where the peoples blow be-
tween crosses, row on row."

Joe Thompson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles H. Thompson, of Millville, was
among the Marines of the famous Sec
ond Division that reached New York
a few days ago from overseas. This
young soldier had more than the usual
experience abroad. Enlisting in the
marine corps, December 10, 1917, he
was in training two months at Paris
Island South Carolina. Then he was
sent to France where he soon got in
the midst of things; was wounded in
the shoulder September 10, and re-
manned in Red Cross Hospital four
weeks from the wound. AS soon as he
was discharged from the hospital, he
rejoined his regiment remaining with
it until the Armistice was signed.
But this did not end his career as a
soldier. He was then sent to Ger
many with the Army of Occupation.
