laughing stock of the world in the
junk heap and give the sailors a
suit in which they can be men, feel
like men and look like men.
Here is what might be called:
THE Lament Of Down-Hearted
Marine"
"sHe's only a Marine I heard some
one say,
As they passed him by on the street
one day.
Little they knew that his heart was
true,
As ever had beat meath a suit of
blue.
HE is not afraid OF the widest
storms.
Nor is he ashamed OF his uniforms,
He is somebody's boy far away
from home,
And in distant lands he may fight
and roam,
So treat him with kindness and give
him a smile,
To speak to Marine is always
worth while.
He is Uncle Sans boy on land and
sea,
And a drawer lad there never could
be,
Don't scorn at his clothes or give
him look,
AS tho he were nothing but some
dirty crook.
For this is our honest appeal to you,
Until we cross over please give us
our due.
We give service, you shut of our
beer,
But the Stacker can drink till
IT runs out his ear,
we left good positions TO keep you
from harm,
While the Stacker goes by with
girl on his arm.
And look at a Marine, poor I'M
lucky cuss,
You go with a Stacker, why
criticize US.
A Stacker rides round in a car
OF his own,
And charges a quarter TO bring US
to town.
we are doing our duty, his liver is
white,
Yet, we leave the streets before
twelve at night,
While the Stacker still fingers
as long as he caIes,
And laughs at a Marine whenever
he dares.
discipline we know is thing
must be.
But really and truly we all fail to
see,
When a Marine drinks nothing but
water and pop,
Why the drinks of a Stacker should
not also stop.
"The Stacker may dance so il
seems rather hard.
That at dance halls the UNIFORM
is barred.
We have shouldered our hardships
and taken our places,
And go to our death with a smile
on our faces.
$50 this is our honest appeal to you:
Until we cross over, please give us
our due,
For you may have a brother or son
OF your own,
That may lie In a grave that Is
marked-UNKNoWN"

armistice signed (both by
the newspapers and the powers
that-are) and the Senate is seri-
ously considering ratifying the
peace treaty (sometime) what
is going to be Americas attitude
toward the uniform?
That is a question which has
been in my mind ever since we
went into the war-ever since the
sailor blue and the army khaki
changed from being thing of OPP
probrium to something which
got a "hand" every time it went
by, whether in a parade or on a
movie screen. Today a marine
trumpeter, who flatters me with
the statement that / can answer
many questions no one else can
land probably doesn't try) brings
it into my column by declaring
that it is a question in the minds
of ever soldier, sailor and marine
in the country.
Not having the gift of prophecy,
/ don't know what the attitude Of
the American people is going to
be toward the American uniform.
But / do know that whatever
the attitude is-that will be the
measure of the American people.
1t will also be the gauge of their
gratitude toward the men who are
gone and those who are manned.
1t will show whether we are
great and glorious people, as our
political orators insist we are,
or whether we are a parcel Of in
CRATES, not worthy of our own
heritage or the sacrifices which
have been made for US.

What About the Uniform?

Even at the time our militia
boys were ordered to the border to
be ready for the Mexicans-even
when they were leaving their
schools, their jobs, their profess
sions, and were ready to give
their lives, hotels and theaters in
the large cities on the border
where they were stationed were
still discriminating against the
garb which ought to be the proud
est clothes a man can wear. In a
million-dollar hotel in Texas, with
the temperature 113 (although, of
course, the natives declared it had
never gone that high before) pri.
Yates in their khaki blouses were
refused service in the main dining
room. A few doors away an ordi-
nary little moving picture theater
refused admission to a sailor who
had come from the attack on Vera
Cruz.
What A Difference

Der, the cat became another color
and anything and everything in

needed them then-everytbjnp we
held most dear was at stake
and they were the boys who we're
going to win or lose the day.
We don't need them quite so

 ORGANIZATION
Negotiate for Closer Rela- tions Between Northern
 and Southern Church.

New Orleans, May 21.-The South ern Presbyterian church. in general assembly here. tonight expressed it. self in favor of working for organiza- tion with the Northern Presbyterian church by voting to negotiate for "closer relations" with the northern church and other Presbyterian bodies, after defeating by vote of 1855 to 99 the proposed plan for general fed eration of all Presbyterian bodies. The act of the assembly carried with it instructions to the synod to elect members of committee which would meet with a similar committee from other Presbyterian bodies for formu- lation of plan of union. The ad in- terim committee will report to the 1920 general assembly, of the southern church at Charlotte, N.' c.
 The stated clerk of the assembly, Dr. T. H. Law, of Spartanburg, s. C., upon instructions from the assembly, telegraphed report of the action to the assembly of the northern church in session at St. Louis.
 The votes against federation and in favor of organic union negotiations were preceded by several hours de- bate and the introduction of numer- ous amendments and substitute mo- tions. In effect, however, the major report of the select committee ap- pointed Saturday to study the ad in- terim federal union committees re- port was adopted.
 A minority report of the select com mittee, presented bv Rev. J. P. Rob- ertson. D. D., of Galveston, Texas. signed bv himself and three others of 17 members. called for adoption of the federation plan for all Presbyter- ian bodies. It was the adverse vote on the minority report that expressed the will of the assembly in favor of negotiations toward organic union as opposed to federation.
 Rev. A. M. Fraser, D. D.. of Staun- ton. Va. moderator. offered d resolu- tion urging organic union on the grounds that it would "split the fchurch." The resolution was tabled by vote on motion of Rev. James I. Vance ID. D., of Nashville.
