Mexican Claims Unpaid.

When the United States invaded
Mexico in 1916 to 1848, Generals
Scott and Taylor seized food, horses,
houses and other property Of non
combatants, promising on the part of
their country prompt payment for
these things. As yet the owners and
their heirs have not been reimbursed.
The generals above mentioned, as
well as Gen. Persifor F. Smith, Gen.
Hunt and others in the War Depart
ment have urged the payment of this
just debt. The Spanish and Mexican
ministers have ever since endeavored
to obtain justice through diplomatic
channels, and lawyer, Thomas D.
Sariol, has lived in Washington for
IS years attempting to secure a
settlement in behalf Of certain clients
of his. Congress is not always zeal
GUS of the honor of the republic and
Uncle Sam is sometimes a dilatory
debtor.

BOY SCOUTS IN CAMP

The Boy Scouts of Pleasantville
spent Wednesday night and all day
Thursday in camp at Stony Creek.
They started from headquarters at
$50 P. NJ. on Wednesday and arrived
in camp about an hour later. On the
arrival they Immediately went to
work pitching tents and making the
camp fire. They afterwards cooked
and ate supper and then sat down in
groups around the fire enjoying them
selves as they could. About $50 one
of the boys came running up to the
fire saying that he had bumped into
another boy in the dark and knocked
him unconscious. The boys rushed to
the stream where they found Paul
Brady lying on the ground uncon-
scious. One of the boys picked him
up and carried him to the fire, when
he was revived with cold water. Then
one of the scouts bathed his eye,
which was swollen to such an extent
that it closely resembled poached
egg. The cold water greatly reduced
the swollen eye, but the patient COM

pain in the stomach. Two boys were

of poles. The boy was laid on this

Guenther, in Absecon, which was two
miles distant. Having arrived there,
J. Norman Shinn, who was in COM
mand of the boys, telephoned for DR..
Munro, who soon arrived. The doc
tor bandaged the boys eye and gave
him permission to go back to camp
The boys were soon back in camp and
in bed.
The next day was spent in hiking
through the woods, running, jumping,
pole-vaulting, etc. The tired scouts
went home on Thursday night to cele-
brate Halloween, and two boys went
back after the celebration.
On Friday morning another patrol
went out to Stony Greek. They had
lot of fun in spite Of the wet wealth

boys went home, but the other three

wet weather camping. They connect

with dirt and filled the inside with
cedar boughs. This made dry shell

incident in spite of the weather. The
next morning they went home direct

! A Lecture on Alcohol.

DR.. Frank O'Hara lectured last
Thursday at the Catholic University
on "The Political Economy of Alco-
hol." He showed how much money is
wasted in the purchase of intoxicat-
ing liquors and exhibited charts, ex-
planatory Of various drinks.
"We suffer not only a negative loss
through the production of alcohol, in
that we might use in its production
forces that might be better spent in
other things" he declared. eve suf-
fer a positive loss, in that the use Of
alcohol lowers the efficiency Of our
producers. It's use is prejudicial to
the economical production Of wealth;
it's use is inconsistent with healthy
and wise distribution of wealth; it
tends to promote an irrational con-
sumption of wealth"
