MILITARY POLICE
CAMP LIFE
by Pvt. Parker Ii. Harris
NJ. ID. 7SOth NJ. Z. I'm.
Ft. Devon. Mass.

With the war goin on there Is
call for more and more Mill
tary Police personnel. When they
are on duty they wear MP bands
on their arms.
MPs are often called 1.-The faith
full few" When the main body
of a military organization is re-
Taxing, there is an MP on guard
keeping watch over the men.
There has arisen a new type of
military policeman in modern
warfare. They are a well man
nered and understanding, special
trained personnel. The MPs are
not to whip those whom they
come in contact with, but to help
civilian as well as service men
when called upon. Military Po-
lice usually cooperate with the
civilian police in performing their
duties. Any place that there are
service men you will find an MP
there also.
The MPs are the same fellows
who used to help the neighbor
children with their minor prob
lens. Bill Howard Is a typical
one. Bill was always favorite
among his numerous friends. He
resereed the sandlot ball games
in the good old days. He was
the one who stopped the towns
bully from enticing those smaller
than himself. Bill was a social
success, too. He was popular in
the younger set and was admired
by the elders in the community.
We also noted that Bill was a
Christian youth, too, and took a
very active part in various re-
ligious activities. When he re-
turns from active service he will
no doubt be elected to the trustee
board of his church
There are thousands of Bill
Towards. They are in all walks
of life, such as bank presidents,
Supreme Court justices. your
friendly merchants, and the po-
liceman on the beat, who is liked
by all who come in contact with
his broad smile. Wherever there
are progressive people, they are
the same as our Bill Howard.
Bill is well liked by his friends
in the service and is very trust
worthy, as he Is often asked to
keep personal and monetary ar
ticles for his friends in the ser
vice. The Army trusted him, too.
On him rests the safety of your
son, brother, husband, or sweet
heart. Whether they are at rec
reation centers or in their bar
racks or tents asleep, there is
an MP on duty safeguarding them
with his life, IL necessary: Be
cause of Bill Towards splendid
record, he is called my Pal
(MP). There are thousands OF
Bill Towards. You'll see them
tomorrow downtown with theil
arm bands, with the initials MP
which means my Pal" to all
whether you are in the service
or a civilian.

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Announcement was made this
week of those to serve on the
committee to raise the largest
Christmas Seal goal ever set for
SeattleKing Count, by Miss Ruth
Walker. general chairman of the
37th annual drive. Money from
the sale of Christmas Seals is the
sole support of the Anti-Tubereu
losis League for financing the
work of prevention, arrest and
cure of tuberculosis.
Because civilian doctors and
nurses are scarce. and draft x
rays show that 10000 to 100 900
of every ten million examined
will be returned to local commu-
mites because of tuberculosis, the
work of the Anti-Tuberculosis
League must be intensified now
more than ever Miss Walker
declares.
Health protection for civilians
must be part of the war euort,"
she pointed out. Last year, In
the United States alone, 10000
persons were killed by tubercu-
losis. Now, when we need all the
man hours available, prevention
of tuberculosis is one of our pri-
mary responsibilities as an aid to
victory
Seals will go into the mails No
vember 22nd, Miss Walker said.
Those who want them for early
Christmas mailing may secure
them now, however, from head
quarters of the Anti-Tuberculosis
League, 6147 Arcade Building
Orders may be placed by phone,
also, by calling Main 1868.

NASSAU, Bahamas.-A white
wigged Negro prosecutor asked
British justice today for Alfred
de Marigny, charging the dapper
yachtsman with beating to death
his aged father-in-law, Sir Harry
Cakes, because he feared he
would lose his chance for a share
in the baronet's tremendous for

The setting was the Bahamas
supreme court chamber, where
the calm defendant sat in a cage
like prisoners dock and peered
through the bars at the robbed
and bewigged court officials and
lawyers and the IL all-white
jurors who will decide whether
he must die for murder.
Selection and swearing in of
the jury took less than an hour.
When A. F. Adderley, special pro-
secutor. arose to tell the crowns
reasons for accusing De Marigny
of entering Cakes sumptuous
home last July and bludgeoning
the millionaire before leaving him
to die in a blazing bed.
Small Room Crowded
The los persons who could find
seats in the small room leaned
forward to hear every word, while
De Marigny sat unsmiling on a
wooden bench, folded his arms
across his chest and stared at the
ceiling.

Sir Harry's eldest daughter, was
not there. She will take the
stand later to testify in his de-

SO HELP ME
by JOE STATION
HERE Is THE
LITTLE DETROIT"
EPISODE

ErlOUDE
On the Fourth OF July, of al
days. a riot was averted because
the advice of Frank Green wal
needed. 1t was on this day the
peaceful attitude that is charac
teristic of Seattle was almost
changed, and this city would have
been on the list of the Axis as
an example of the uselessness Of
democracy.
frankie had been lecturing ia
many of the new Negro arrivals
for at least two months to moi
fight back If accosted by trouble
making whites; IL outnumbered
and if it might be humanity pos
sible to reason out situation.
On a bus going to the ship
yards a southerner tried to push,
shove and kick a Negro out of a
seat they were sharing. The
Negro didn't fight back, just held
on so he wouldn't land on the
floor. The southerner called him
III and many other names
and asked the whites on the bus
to help him throw the two
n-rs Off They needed a taste
of what happened in Detroit, he
said.
When the bus arrived at the
yard the two colored men imme-
diately looked up Frank and re-
ported the mornings occurrence.
Green set to work notifying
the powers that be and received
permission to take the two men
and scour the yard till they'd
found him. In an hour or so
the culprit was in the office
pleading his case. He said he'd
been drunk the night before and
didn't feel he was responsible
for his actions; also he was a
friend of the Negro, had many
Negro friends, etc.
He was fired and the Negroes
returned to their jobs.
Had the two men chosen to
take matters in their own hands
and fought, they'd have been, no
doubt, set upon by the men on
the bus and killed or hurt badly,
the news would have spread and
thousands would have been lined
up against each other because of
one coward who needed so men
to help him whip two.
Had these men not needed
Green's advice, Seattle surely
would have had to bow its head
in shame and bury its dead and
hospitalize its injured and re-
| build its prestige.
Yet a Negro is prominent in
getting this man Green fired, a
Negro who always wants to repre-
sent you and me.
