P. A. Murray, Jr.,
Writes from Quantico
A letter was recently received by (
a friend from Mr. P. A. Murray, Jr., i
who volunteered for service with the
U. S. Marines. Some extracts from '
his letter follow. Readers can judge !
for themselves if "Pat" is having an
easy time of it. But they will likely
decide also that he is one hundred)
per cent. American and is doing his
"bit" gladly. j 1
Would have answered your letter i 1
sooner, but have not had a chance, as (
we have only forty-five minutes olT
during the day. We are on the go ' !
from .r):4.r> in the morning till 10 {
n'plnpk- n nicrlif ! ^
We have a harder time than the I
?
men at the army schools because the . J
marines must know everything. We \
have Navy Regulations, Boat and I
Gun Drills of the Navy, Landing S
Force, etc., and as we are to serve I
with the army in France, wo have to 1
know the Infantry Drill Regulations, A
Field Service Regulations, Manual of I
Courts Martial, Manual of Guard I
Duty; all in addition to Tactics, Map /
Making and Drawing, Contour Work, I
Signalling, both semiphore and wig- J
wag, the latter both with flag, flash S
light and heliograph. Our classes are /
all interspersed with drills, company, F
battalion and regimental. Then we I
have tactical problems to solve on ,
the field, bayonet drill, bayonet fighting,
both with the dummies and with
each other, wearing masks and pro- '
lectors, also practical grenade throwing,
in fact, everything that has been !
developed in the present war. I
When I stood my examination in '
Charleston I weighed 138 pounds J
(stripped. The first two weeks I
was in Quantico we drilled about ?
seven hours a day in addition to other
work, and 1 went down to 130.
Now I weigh 152. We run a mile
every morning at reveille. At first
I could not go two hundred yards,
but now I can make it all right, and
scarcely breathe hard when I come
in. This, however, is the only life,
and I would not swap my little 2d .
lieutenancy for the presidency of a
bank. We are all hoping and pray- ,
ing for the time to come when we will
be assigned to our regular commands.
I think as you do about the slackers
?!
who are always talking against their
government! They ought not to be
allowed to claim any 'of the righis
as American citizens, but should be
sent to (Jernuiny, where they belong.
You know I am Southern bred and
born and proud of it! I will always
stand up for the South, come what
may, but I must admit that in some
ways, the South seems to take only
a passive interest in the war. What
I have seen of the North recently has
been Washington, but most of our
fellows are from the North, and I
have talked with them and read the
Northern papers, and I must also admit
that the North is fully aroused
and full of patriotism. I believe J
that the reason for this attitude of |
apathy in the Souh (not the South as
a whole but certain sections) is that j
the people do not realize what this '
war means, nor how deadly serious !
it is. They cannot seem to realize
that the fate of Belgium can and may
be the fate of the United States.
We had a talk with Major Waller,
who has probably see n more service
than any other man in the Marine ;
Corps (and that is going some), and
he would be in France now were it J
not for the fact that he is getting
most too old. He gave us a heartto-heart
talk and said that he wanted
to tell us one thing and that was that
unless we defeated Germany in Eu- i
rope, we would have to fight her on
our own shores; that in this war we
are fighting for our very existence
and everything that we hold dear, '
our lio.iws, our loved ones ?and that
any man who had red blood in his
veins would let the Germans come
only over his dead body. Major Waller
is a fighter of the old school, and
and you only have to see him to know
that. ''
Major t'atapani, of the Italian (
army, who is a member of the Italian
Mission, trove us one of the finest
lectures I have ever heard. He is a
man of wealth and culture, has been
a leader in military affairs at home !
especially with reference to the war
with Austria and Germany. He was
educated in Germany and France and
is in position to know what he is
talking about. He is just from the '
Western front and says that Knft- j
land and France both practically ad- |

I suffered greatly .. . Sometimes
ould go a month or two, and I had
rrible headache, backache, and bearing>wn
pains, and would just drag and
id no appetite. Then ... it would last
. two weeks, and was so weakening,
d my health was awful.
My mother bought me a bottle cf
.ruui, and 1 began to improve after
!:ii?g the first bottle, so kept it up till i
ok three ... I gained, and was well
id strong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
1 am married now and have 3 children
, . Have never had to have a doctor for
male trouble, and just resort to Cardui
I need a tonic. 1 am glad to testify to
hat it has done for me, so as to help
hers."
