A Marine Corps Lesson
for Husky Young Men
'"THE United States Marine Corps
is distinct from the army and
navy.
It is half-soldier, half-sailor in
nature, handling naval guns on the
big ships and digging trenches with
equal versatility.
It has been called the finest fight
ing corps in the world and has a
long nnd honorable record since its
organization in 1775.
It is recruited by the volunteer
system, accepting only picked men.
