The Men-o'-Warsmen and the Soldiers of the Sea Do Not

Is Bitter Rivalry Between Them.

Bluejackets are sailors, marines
are not. Remember that! The two
words, commonly held as spnonomous
by tho law mind, /lean radically dis
ferent types of fighting men. To call
a bluejacket a marine is as wrong as
calling a sailor a soldier, or a boiler
maker a blacksmith. Sometimes both
do the sme kind of work with the
WE DELIVER AND SHIP EVERYWHERE
same tools; but they follow different
trades.
Aboard ships there is little love lost
between bluejackets and marines.
Each look down upon the other as
Imings of a lower social grade. Each
loses an opportunity of belittling the
other. To a bluejacket a marine is
a 'leather-neck;" to a marine a blue-j
jacket is a “flatfoot."’ Both resent,
the sobriquet the other has given j
them and sometimes it is taken as an
Insult. So be careful in your address
when you meet one of either service.
It is well to remember this
How to Tell Them Apart.
The big tali fellow at Twelfth ant
Walnut Streets with a red stripe on
his light blue trousers and three yol
low chevrons on his dark blue blouse
ia a marine Tiie men jn dark blue
shirts, with sailor collar and tight
hipped. wide-botomed trousers of the
same shade around the Federal Build
ing are bluejackets. They like you to
know that. More marines may be
seen around Main Street and Missou
ri Avenue. If you look at their caps
vou will notice they appear to be like
that of a soldier. On the front, how
ever, will be globe in bas-rillef an
anchor behind and scroll above. A
bluejacket wears a fiat, blue sailor's
hat with the name of his ship in gold
letters in front. When a bluejacket
is promoted to be a chief petty of
ficer, corresponding in rank io the
non-commissioned staff officers of the
army, he wears a blue cap similar
to the marines, but with a gold an
ehor diagonally across the front and
the letters "ft. S. N.„ In silver. His
coat In double breasted with eight
braes buttons, and coat and trousers
are the same dark blue, while a ma
rine's blouse is dark and trousers
light blue.
Bitter Feeling Is Old.
The feeling between marines and
bluejackets is as old as history. In
former days bluejackets were gener-;
ally a pretty touch lot. If they were 1
not fighting an enemy they might
turn urn! fight their own officers. So
some sort, of a guard was needed.
The marines were the guard. Also,
the marines In those days' were the
main fighting men' of the ship, and
bluejackets merely attended to the
duties of seamen. Nowadays a blue
jacket does tie main part of ship
fighting. Marinos man only small
guns. Formerly the marines were
police officers of a ship and that did
not make them more popular with
bluejackets „
Bluejackets in this day perform all
the duties connected with the naviga
tion of the ship and also the hand
ling of the runs. In addition to be
ing sailors they must he competent
artillerymen, artisans and know the
rudiments of infantry drill.
Marines Are Good Fighters.
Marines have nothing to do with
ship navigation. They are soldiers
carried aboard ship for just, such pur
poses as tlhe capture of Vera Cruz.
They Rive a naval commander a pro
fessional landing force to enforce his
nation's demands. Bluejackets are
quite frequently landed with marines
and do the same work a marine has
to do in such circumstances. Ma
rines are highly trained as Infantry
soldiers and also light and heavy ar
tlllerymen. They are the most versa
tile soldiers jn Uncle Sam's- employ.
Thev are particularly proficient in
landing on hostile shores, breaking tip
street riots and skirmish warfare.
The organization of tho marines Is
that of the army. Their tptal strength
is about 9.000 men commanded by a
major, whose headquarters are 111
Washington. The officers have the
titles of colonel, lieutenant colonel,
major, captain, first lieutenant and
second lieutenant. The correspond
ing naval titles are admiral, captain,
commander, lieutenant commander
lieutenant senior grade, lieutenant
Junior grade and ensign. Thus a cap
tain in the navy ranks with a colonel
In the army or marine corps and a
lieutenant in the navy ranks with a
captain In the other services En
listed men In the marine corps are
called privates, corporals and ser
geants In the army. The nijvv has
fifty or more grades of enlisted men.

Over the Phone,
New York.—John P. Rockefeller. Jr.,
It was said at his office today, feel
ing that he has been forced to bear
the brunt of the criticism growing out
of tho strike In Colorado, hopes in
the near future to devise some plan
by which he may relieve the situation,
so far as the demonstrations against
him are concerned. Just what he pur
poses to do was not made clear. .
Mr. Rockefeller spent the day at his
home in Pocantlco Hills, transacting
all Ills business over the telephone.
“Mourners” were again marching up
and down in front of the Standard Oil
building, at 26 Broadway. A threat
to keep a hearse on the scene did not
materialize during the forenoon.
Among the marchers were Sarah
Greenwood and Elizabeth Freeman,
English suffragettes. Miss Freeman
was released Uilh morning from the
Tombs prison against her will. With
Upton Sinclair and another woman
she had gone to a cell rather thai» pay
a fine of $3 for disorderly conduct.
Some one paid the fine and she was
released.

Colonel’s Experiences.

the Roosevelt tn Brazil,
arrived In New York today from Rio

periences of the expedition both before
and after he separated from Col.

ever, that the colonel had emerged
safely from the Jungle. He said lie
had not expected to hear from Mr.
Roosevelt before the latter pan of
June.

Telling of tiia 400 mile Journey
across country with Roosevelt, Fiala
said the rainy season was on. "and
sometimes we would travel for two
days at a time without finding a dry
spot Ida enough tor a camp.
"At Matto Uroaso we went hunting
In one party, which went for tlgv
csis. were Col. Roosevelt, KertnU, a
Brazilian chief of police, a Brazilian
colonel and several natives. They
pushed thetr way all day through
swamps filled with—T-rocodllos and
snSkes tn pursuit of a tiger cut.
Brazilians Quit.
"The Brazilians did the heat they
Could and with the negro boys kept
up tor several hours. But the puce
set by the colouel, even In thetr own
Jungle, was too much for them When
they finally came out they were car
rying the Brazilians' guns and shoes.
The Brazilians had quit and were
lying on thetr backs tn a dry place
recuperating. The tiger eat got sway.*'
Fiala said that the Brasilians re
garded Col. Roosevelt very highly.
Each one considered the former pres
