TO UPHOLD STANDARDS OF
"SOLDIERS OF THE SEA"
Washington, July 30.- Although
this country is involved in the great-
- est war known to history and recruit-
ing for the "First to Fight" is being
conducted lightning fast, the sterling
standards of the "Soldiers of the Sea"
must be upheld, it was announced at
Marine Corps Headquarters today.
Upon hearing the report that a local
police judge allowed three men charg-
ed with being drunk to go unpunished
provided they enlisted in the Marines.
Major General Commandant George
Barnett said: "Drunkards will not be
accepted for enlistment in the Marine
Corps. We have been getting the
highest class of recruits and the en-
listment of those who dally too freely
with the 'Demon Rum' would be a ser-
ious reflection upon the service itself
and upon the men who have already
enlisted."
