What are we paying taxes for!
They say if we got in war, we'd
be a loser; though loudly we our
trumpets toot, we have no cannon
that will shoot, and no torpedoes
that will scoot and sink a cruiser.
In Congress now the statesmen
rise, disgust and fury in their
eyes, and roast our navy; a for
eign foe would surely mock the
cheap old ships we have in stock,
and he from Uncle Sam would
knock the blooming gravy. Our
army truly is the stuff, but then
it isn't big enough to cause much
trouble; our volunteers. in whom
We trust, before the foe would
bite the dust, and all their fair
renown would bust like any bub-
bic. Our guns are mostly out OF
date, and can't be used for shoot
ing straight, our swords are rusty:
our areoplanes, that cleave the
blue, are well enough, but they re
too few; Our generals and col
onels, too, are stale and musty.
If we should e'er be forced to
fight, SO say the statesmen, in
alright. our name is Trousers; if
into war we should be hurled,
we'd trernble soon, with banners
furled,- before the war dogs Of the
world. the snarling Towsers. So
loosen up and pay your tax!
Your country needs a battle-ax,
and bow and arrow! Oh, when
your country calls for mon, to
buy new breech-loading gun, I
pray you, do not then, my son,
be mean and narrow.

The following recommendations were
adopted:
That all applicants for commissions
as scoutmaSterS and assistant scout
masters make the same form of appli-
cation to the local council. and that
three recommendations as to the appii-
cant's fitness for the position be sub
mitted. If the council is satisfied with
a candidates reference, he shall pre-
sent himself to the field staff in order
to obtain a thorough understanding
as to the duties and responsibilities
of a scoutmaSter. 1t believed this
method of issuing commissions will
safeguard the best interests of the
scout movement and provide the scouts
with efficient leaders.
That in accordance with the new
plan of organization, the scout ex
ecutive, field executive and deputy
field executive constitute a field staff
and have charge of such matters per-
tanning to the development of this
work until such times as the organ
ization covers this work. and all men,
bers of the field staff be- ex-officio
members of the local council.
The report of Scout Commissioner
Martin showed that there are now
thirty-two troops in the local organ
ization, with a membership of 1872
scouts. of whom 123 are first-class, 23I
second-class and 472 tenderfoot. There
are thirty-three members of the local
council, thirty-two scoutmasters and
twenty assistant scoutmasters. The
merit badge facualty has a membership
of sixty. During the year 924 merit
badges were awarded and 1893 applied
for.
Mr. Martins report included a COM
plete report of the activities at Camp
Archibald Butt on the Chesapeake bay
tain trail blazing expedition. 1t was
stated that at the close of the camp
