Dear Sir:
The United States Civil Service
Commission is making a special APP
peal at the present time for steno-
graphers and bookkeepers for posi-
tions in Washington. During the
war, there was great demand for
this help. and it is still as great as
before.
We all know that in case of war.
the Government can compel per-
son to enlist in its service. whether
this person is capable or not, 1t mat
ters not; because the training for
military purposes is radically differ
emf from that of others. There were
a great many patriots who volun-
teered: but in this case, we have the
Government not commanding, but
supplicating stenographers, those
from eighteen and over who wish to
avail themselves of a good position
in the Capital City to go.
If | were a young man or young
woman, and had knowledge OF
stenography and typewriting, |
would go; for with eight hours
work and the educational possibili-
ties at the Capital City being the
best of all, it is unquestionably an
honor to be able to work for the
Government and at the same time,
be in a position to improve oneself.
trust this letter Will be received
in the proper spirit by those who
wish to take advantage of lettering
their condition. and at the same time.
help the Government.
Yours very truly,

BEHRNAN LEAGUE NOTES.

What promised to be one OF the
best semi-professional games staged
in this city was more or less married
by the weather last Sunday. Show
er effected both the playing and the
attendance to some extent, but not
outstanding a wet ball and field the
games were excellent. The Marines
and the Calderaros decided the lead
ership of the league in favor of the
Marines in the first games; the X.
C.'s selected third place from the
Suburbans in the second game, the
Suburbans showed lots of improve
ment in their lineup and good pros
poets.
In the opening game Sober and
Lucas were the battery for the Ma
rines and Klingingpeel and Abbott
| for the Calderaros. Schober was in
| tip-top form and confident at all
stages, mot letting a man walk and
only one hit. Klingingpeel of the
/ Calderaros seem effected by e. the
| weather, but stuck to his job with
| his usual smile. The members of
both teams took no chances, each
conceding by close playing the merit
of his opponent. King in the sec
ond inning overlooked his dope and
handed Lucas one waist high and the
| big thing happened; he lifted it over
the left field fence driving two men
home. Lucas may it be known is
the star stick man of the Marines
and no pitcher has license to get
careless. In the fourth inning King
frightened up and the game from
there on was nip and tuck as is
usual when these teams meet. The
| fielding of the Marines was a base
ball treat, teamwork seeming to be
| the speciality of our U. S. NJ. c. Cap
tain Landers of the Marines, a star
| fielder himself. can we'll be proud
| of his organization. All of the
special playing was not Marines by
any means; Olivier of the Calderaros
played 100 per cent first base-the
Abbots and Salathe attracting spec
ial notice by their playing; in fact,
| the entire team under the direction
| of Coach Pujol rendered Killing such
support as to keep the Marines busy
at all times. There is still some
doubt as to the relative merits, OF
| these two teams, as it stands now

Lawlessness has nothing in

Vice President Marshall declar-

"All those who are unwilling
to obey constituted authority
until by orderly process that au-
thority can be changed" he said,
should be taken from beneath
the protecting folds of the A
banner"
The flag is a stumbling block
to autocracy, foolishness and an
archy. Seen Alright, it up-trips
the whole order of place, prefer
and power. 1t is not so
much how it looks as how it
-
seems to you. AS l see it, it is
not an emblem, nor yet an en-
1t is not stars and stripes.
1t is to me a photograph where
in catch a glimpse of Washing
ton, a shade of Jefferson, a touch
Of Lincoln. The brow is calm, Sc
rene, unmoved, unruffled, for
hat spirit which hides beneath
t has consciousness of duty done
confidence in Gods and
mans approval"
