A man walked into the recruiting station of the United States marine corps yesterday and stated that he had to join the marine corps. "Why have you got to get in the marine corps?" asked Sergeant Schwab, in charge of the office "I was tried and the judge sus pended my sentence on coiditlou that 1 join the colors and go to war. I think 1 would like the marines the best, so I guess 1 will join." i am very sorry, sain Horgeam Schwab, "but the marine corps does not want you. 1 do not know what you were tried for and for all I know you may be a perfectly good fellow. Hut the service does not want men who are forced to join in such a manner. Also, the service does not want men who must either become an enlisted man or serve a term in a jail or a penitentiary. Wre want men of good moral standing. As I say, you may be a good fellow, and so far as I know you may have been even innocent of the charge brought against you, but. under a condition, as you have presented, you are not elig ible to become a soldier."
