This is the 1921 way Of saying that the has launched
a new recruiting campaign. The recruiting office wants
900 men to Join the Fourth division at Camp Lewis.
Why should young join the army today? Five

of the who joined the ranks as chaps who were

But the war changed all that Now The army IL rccog
nized us an institution offering wonderful opportunity 70
ambitious men-especaly young men-who want to make
something Of themselves
The army has branched out and today offers to man
entering its ranks practically complete college training

of the country And instead of charging him tuition
actually PAYS him while il teaches him the trade pro

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

A naval expert at Washington ex-
presses the opinion that the United
States cannot successfully develop a
mercantile marine of fast passenger
carrying steamships without a kick
in them. Such steamships would be
potential auxiliary cruisers. raiders or
mine layers and might become handy
when our naval armament IL reduced
and some of our big ships scrapped.
II had been suggested that when naval
construction ceased, our attention
would turn TO the development OF our
mercantile marine.
But we are told that fast ships with
luxurious accommodations are not
alone what the travelling public wants
The ships that carry a kick with the
speed and the comforts are the ones
that get the business. The Eighteenth
Amendment goes with the American
fiag. Vessels flying the flag Of nations
having no Eighteenth Amendment,
have speed. comfort and kick. and II
Is declared America cannot wrest the
passenger business from them Will,
present conditions continue-Sar
