MILLNER’S CUT-PRICE GROCERY, 1121 Broad, Augusta, Ga, 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. The ones most frequently mentioned In news stories are ordinary seaman, Coxswain, boatswain’s mate, gun ner's mate, turret captain, quarter master. electrician, yneman (clerks), machinist's mate, carpenter's mate, hospital apprentice, hospital steward, water tsnder, oiler, salltnaker's mate, master at arms and bandsmen.

N„ in silver. Bluejackets art also very , touchy about being called "jackies.” They don’t like the dlmunitive. Jack tar and man of warsman, while not used in the service very much, are accept ed.
