Remember those days when we

remember the buddies who bunked

with US, took all our money, bum

names, and-would give us the
shirts off their backs il we asked
'em? Somehow civil life doesn't
often give US friends like that. The
man who has never done a hitch
in the service has missed a lot.
Isn't that so?
And for any man. who is looking

Both Army and Navy.

During the war with Germany all
the additional officers needed for the
Marine Corps were promoted from
the ranks. These officers, by their
efficiency and valor, have SO amply
demonstrated the wisdom of devel-
oping the officer material among the
enlisted men that the system has
been adopted as a permanent feature
of the service. Any man who has
the makings of an officer in him
stands an excellent chance of ris-
ing rapidly through the non-com-
nissioned. grades of corporal and
sergeant and graduating" into a
second lieutenant. After that he has
the same opportunity of attaining
still higher rank as any graduate
Of the Naval Academy.
In addition, some Marines are Sc
lected each year to take the four
year course at Annapolis, upon com
pletion of which they are imme-
diately commissioned second lieu
tenants of Marines or ensignS in the
Navy.

Ban Johnson Reported Opposed to

CHICAGO. February 4.-President
Ban johnson of the American League
is unusually reticent regarding the
appointment of a new man for the

sion, while club owners in both major
leagues are talking at length of the
subject and are mentioning men who
are candidates for the place. Johnson
has not mentioned single name to
date, despite the fact that Henry
kiliiiea OF Milwaukee is said to be his
choice. If he is. Johnson does not
know anything ABOUT it,
Johnson is not disturbing himself
over Herrmann's possible successor.

he will support Judge Lands if a New

he will back the Chicago judge be
cause President Johnson is opposed TO
him. In addition to that Huston de-
,Iares that President Comiskey of the
White Sox and Harry Frazee will also
vote for Lands and will argue to have
him elected to succeed Hermann. But
it is doubtful if their three votes will
carry much, weight, since they have
