EX-SERVICE MEN HEAR THE
 CALL OF THE OLDLIFE Former Soldiers and Sailors Find Civil Life Too Tame. They Are Joining the Marine Corps. Combines the Desirable Features of Both Army and Navy.

for the Marine Corps were pro- noted from the ranks. These off, cers, by their efficiency and valors have so amply demonstrated the wisdom of developing 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- missioned grades of corporal and sergeant and graduating" into a. second lieutenant. After that he has the same opportunity of att taining still higher rank as any graduate of the Naval Academy.
 Tn addition, some Marines are selected each year to take the four-year course at Annapolis, upon completion of which they are Immediately commissioned second 1ieutenants of Marines or ensigns in the Navy.
 When we remember that there is one non-commiSSioned officer to every seven men no one who is of average ability and applies himself can expect to remain a private for very long.
 The Marine at Work and Play
 Many people have the idea that the service is a life of hard york; long hours and harsh discipline. Nothing was ever further from the truth.
 There is work to be done in the Marine Corps. But it is good,

ELKS SHORE CLUB
 IS TO HAVE ITS
 FORMAL OPENING

Announcement was made today that the formal opening of the FIkS' Shore Club, formerly the Black Rock Yacht Club, located on Black Rock harbor will take place Saturday, May D. The opening will be made a gala affair, with Q, big EIks banquet, and the Board of Governors are arranging for celebration that will be long re- membered.
 Through the efforts of Wilson Mar shall and Henry A Bishop, members of the local organization, an effort will be made to insure the attendance at this opening banquet of Sir Thomas Lipton, challenger for the America Cup
 During the past few weeks a score of carpenters, painters and decorators have been putting the finishing touches on the club house and s1r- rounding Buildings.
 The club will be maintained by the local lodge for the benefit of Elks, their families and friends. It is ex- pecbed that it will be largely patron ized by members of the order through out the state, this being the only shore club operated by any Effs or ganization in New England. Following the opening banquet will be a dinner dance the week following for members and their ladies.

revei1le and swore to murder the bugler. We all ~groused" at the chow and whetted our bayonets for the cooks. Oh, yes, full packs rubbed the skin off our shoulders But
 Remember those days when we were fit as f1dd1es, could eat the hind leg off a table and enjoy it, could lick our weight in wildcats, and weren't afraid to say so? And remember the buddies who bunked with us, hiked with us, scrapped with us, took all our money, bum med our tobacco, called us bad names and-wou1d give us the shirts off their backs if we asked sem? Somehow civil life doesn't often give us friends like that The man who has meyer done a hitch in the service has missed lot. Isn't that so?
 And for any man who is looking for service-a1l sorts, kinds, con ditions and varieties of service the Marine Corps is the one best bet. The Marine is "soldier and sailor. too.'' When the big ships go to sea the Marines go with them. Be- fore the Marine has chance to get tired of sea-going he is landed at Haiti or Honolulu, China or the Philippines.
 Opportunity for travel and ad- venture is only one of the things that the Marine Corps affords. In this branch of the service a man finds unusual facilities for physical and mental development. The Ma rine Corps makes an ordinary man into a real husky"
 And there are all manner of trades that may be learned in the corps Every day ex-Marines are, immediately upon discharge, step ping into weH-paid civilian jobs that range from that of aviator to that of cook. And, as every one knows, an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps is the best letter of recommendation any one can have. It is, in fact, a United States Government certificate which stamps the possessor as 'tin- spected and passed as an honest, loyal and capable man, who has learned to use his head and his hands-and use them to the best advantage"

 It is expected that additional ship ments will be made in the near fu- ture.
 The tie up of freight hits New England hard Reports from New England alone show 10000 freight cars idle Appeals for relief from the manufacturers arrive at Washington every day. According to the latest reports, compiled here by the com- mission on car service, whose princi- pal duty it is to see that cars are sup piled to those who need them most it is shown that through the United States there are 235, 1000 cars tied up or delayed in transit.

If trouble starts over the border, If a Haitian reb wants a scrap, Should any one start a disorder Where Uncle Sans bossing the

 If bad little bandits or pirates Insist upon pulling big scenes Don't worry or fret or get in a
 sweat,
 Just call up and tell the Ma

 Just tell the Marines, just tell the
 Marines,
 They'll get on the job in their
 ecrapping jeans; Ask 'em for trouble, and trouble you gets,
 For they've got sharp points on
 their bayonets. They land on their feet and they've got nine lives, And they pack a punch in their
 forty-f1ves.
 1.-TWO battalions of Marines for immediate service in Haiti" Not long ago that call went out from the U. S. Marine Recruiting Bureau. Within ten days those two battalions were recruited, equipped and ready to shove off. And every man in those outfits was former soldier, sailor or Marine. They found civil life too tame. The ''service'' was in their blood, and they could not get it out. Strange? Not a bit of it. Ask any one of ttJack'' Pershing's gang Ask any ex-man-o'-war's man. Oh, yes, we all growled at

 heafthfuI, outdoor work. There are short, snappy drills that make a man alert and ~on the job" in mind and body. There are setting up exercises that take inches of a mans waistline and put them on his chest. There's shooting on the rifle range-every Marine is trained to be a crack shot; there's work with wireless telegraphy and something of seamanship. It's work, but it's the sort of work men like.
 There must be discipline, just as there must be laws in com munity or rules in an office or factory. But the Marine discipline is Of a sort that no reasonable man would object to.
 Life is not all work for the Ma rine. There are baseball, football. boxing and swimming for the devotees of these sports. No post is without its pool tables. There is fishing and hunting. For Ma rines, in their travels, go where game, big and little, is plentiful and game laws are few.
 Men not on guard may, as a rule, leave their station after 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon and may remain away until revei1le G or o'c1ock) the following morning. Whenever 9 man may be con- venient1y spared, his commanding officer has authority to grant him a ten-day furlough, plus the time required to travel to and return from his home town.
 The Marine Corps desires to give young men from aII parts of the country an opportunity of enlist ing in the service for two, three or four years The local recruit ing office has some vacancies in its quota for especially good men. It may be that you are the sort of man they are looking for. Don't hesitate to call and talk things over. It will put yOu under no obligation. You will not be urged to enlist.
